Sandy Beat (“the app”) is an offline music player for Android, developed by Sandy Beat (“we”, “us”).
None.
Sandy Beat does not collect, store on our servers, or transmit any personal or sensitive user data. We have no servers. There is no account to create, no sign-in, and no analytics.
The app does not request the INTERNET permission, so it is technically incapable of
sending any information off your device. You can verify this yourself: on the Play Store listing,
open About this app → App permissions → See more; no network permission is listed.
To work as a music player, Sandy Beat reads the following locally, on your device only:
| What | Why | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Audio files and their tags (title, artist, album, duration, artwork) | To list and play your music | Stays on the device |
| Playlists, favourites and play counts you create | To remember your library organisation | Stored in a private app database on the device |
| Your settings (theme, sort order, sleep timer defaults) | To remember your preferences | Stored in private app storage on the device |
This information is never uploaded, backed up to us, or shared with anyone. It is stored in the app’s private storage area, which other apps cannot read.
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
READ_MEDIA_AUDIO (Android 13+)READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (Android 12 and below) |
Find and play the music files already on your device. The app only ever reads audio; it never modifies or deletes your files. |
POST_NOTIFICATIONS (Android 13+) |
Show the playback notification with play, pause and skip controls. |
FOREGROUND_SERVICE, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK |
Keep music playing when you switch apps or turn the screen off. |
WAKE_LOCK |
Prevent the device from sleeping mid-track during playback. |
You can revoke audio access at any time in Settings → Apps → Sandy Beat → Permissions. The app will simply show an empty library.
We do not share any data, because we do not collect any. Sandy Beat contains no advertising networks, no analytics SDKs, no crash reporting services, and no third-party trackers of any kind.
Because nothing is collected, there is nothing for us to delete. To remove everything the app has stored on your device, uninstall Sandy Beat, or go to Settings → Apps → Sandy Beat → Storage → Clear data. This removes your playlists, favourites, play history and settings. Your music files are not touched by this and remain on your device.
Sandy Beat is not directed at children under 13 and collects no data from anyone, including children.
If you have Android’s system backup enabled, Android may include the app’s playlists, favourites and settings in your device backup to your own Google account. This is handled entirely by Android and your Google account, under Google’s privacy terms — we have no access to it. You can disable this in your device’s backup settings.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this same URL with a new “Last updated” date. Material changes will also be noted in the app’s release notes.
