Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 3, 2026

BitMuse is a desktop music player for macOS developed by BitMuse (Serhii Maltsev) (“we”, “us”). We respect your privacy and designed BitMuse to work with minimal data collection.

1. Data We Collect

1.1 Data We Do Not Collect

BitMuse does not include any analytics, telemetry, or tracking. We do not collect usage data, crash reports, device identifiers, or browsing behavior. We have no servers that receive data from the app.

1.2 License Activation

When you purchase a license, the transaction is processed by Lemon Squeezy, which acts as our Merchant of Record. Lemon Squeezy collects your name, email address, and payment information. We receive your email address and license key to provide customer support. We do not have access to your full payment details.

Please refer to Lemon Squeezy’s Privacy Policy for details on how they handle your payment data.

1.3 Optional Third-Party Services

BitMuse integrates with optional third-party services that you must explicitly enable:

• Last.fm — If you connect your Last.fm account, BitMuse sends track metadata (title, artist, album, duration) to Last.fm for scrobbling. This is governed by Last.fm’s Terms of Service.
• LRCLIB — BitMuse may fetch synced lyrics from LRCLIB using track metadata. No personal data is sent.
• MusicBrainz — BitMuse may fetch album artwork using track metadata. No personal data is sent.

1.4 Web Remote

BitMuse includes an optional web remote control that runs a local HTTP server on your Mac. It is accessible only on your local network and does not transmit any data to external servers.

2. Data Storage

All your music library data, playlists, settings, and playback history are stored locally on your Mac. We have no access to this data. If you use the backup/restore feature, the backup file is saved to a location you choose on your device.

3. Website Analytics

Our website (bitmuse.app) uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the site. Google Analytics collects anonymous usage data such as pages visited, time on site, and referral source using cookies. This data helps us improve the website and does not identify you personally.

We may also use tracking pixels (such as Meta Pixel) for advertising purposes. These tools may collect information about your browsing activity to serve relevant ads.

You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Most browsers also allow you to block cookies through their settings.

The BitMuse desktop application itself does not use cookies or any tracking technologies.

4. Children’s Privacy

BitMuse does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
