Privacy Policy

Last updated, August 14, 2026

1 The short version

Showmatic does not collect, store, sell, share, or in any way harvest personal data about you. We do not use analytics. We do not use advertising identifiers. We do not ship with third-party SDKs that phone home. Your songs, GIFs, video clips, and exported shows stay on your device. If you ever have a question about what this means in practice, write to contact@showmatic.app and we will answer plainly.

2 Scope of this policy

This policy describes the privacy practices of Showmatic, an iOS application distributed through the App Store, and of this website at showmatic.app. It applies whether you use the free tier, the one-time Showmatic Pro in-app purchase, or any future paid tier.

3 Information we do not collect

For clarity, here is a non-exhaustive list of categories of information Showmatic does not collect:

• Names, email addresses, phone numbers, or mailing addresses
• Apple ID, iCloud identifiers, or any unique device identifier
• Advertising identifiers (IDFA) or tracking identifiers of any kind
• IP addresses, approximate location, or precise location
• Usage analytics, click events, feature telemetry, or crash telemetry
• The contents, filenames, or metadata of songs or clips you import
• The shows you build or the videos you export
• Device model, iOS version, or hardware specifications
• Contacts, calendars, photos, or microphone or camera data

Because we do not collect it, we cannot lose it, be compelled to produce it, or be tempted to monetize it later. This is our core privacy commitment and we do not intend to change it.

4 Your music and media

Everything Showmatic does happens on your iPhone. Beat analysis, waveform rendering, loudness normalization, GIF and video decoding, and the final video export all run locally on your hardware. No song, frame, clip, or exported show is uploaded to any server operated by us or by a third party. Songs you import are copied into the app's own library on your device and stay there until you remove them.

5 Purchases

Showmatic Pro is a one-time non-consumable in-app purchase processed entirely by Apple through the App Store under your Apple ID. Apple handles billing, receipts, restores, refunds, and regional pricing. We never see your credit card, your full Apple ID, or your billing address. The app checks an App-Store-signed receipt on-device to decide whether an install is entitled to Pro; that receipt is not transmitted to us. Apple's own privacy policy governs the data they collect to process your purchase and is available at apple.com/legal/privacy.

6 Support correspondence

If you email us at contact@showmatic.app, we receive your message, your email address, and anything you choose to include in the body. We use this solely to answer you. We do not add you to a mailing list, do not share your message with third parties, and delete support threads on a rolling basis once the issue is resolved and a reasonable reference window has passed. Your email address is not used for marketing.

7 System permissions and logs

Showmatic requests only the iOS permissions it strictly needs, and only when you invoke a feature that requires them, for example, reading a song or clip file you explicitly pick. Finished videos are written into the app's own folder on your device, which you reach through the Files app; nothing is written anywhere else without you moving it there. iOS may record diagnostic logs on your device when an application crashes; if you opt in to share these with Apple, they are governed by Apple's diagnostic data policy and are not shared with us unless you choose to attach a log to a support email. We do not operate any analytics or crash-reporting service of our own.

8 Third parties

We do not embed third-party analytics SDKs, advertising SDKs, attribution SDKs, or social tracking pixels in the app. This website does not use cookies beyond those strictly necessary to remember your chosen appearance (light or dark). It does not embed third-party fonts loaded from a remote host, third-party analytics, or third-party social widgets.

9 Children

Showmatic is a general-purpose creative tool and is not directed at children under thirteen. Because we do not collect personal information from anyone, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe we have inadvertently received information about a child, write to us and we will confirm that no such information exists on our side.

10 Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation, the United Kingdom's Data Protection Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act, and similar regimes, to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of personal data about you. Because we do not collect personal data, there is nothing for us to produce or delete. If that surprises you or you believe otherwise, please contact us and we will investigate promptly.

11 Changes to this policy

If we ever materially change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page and, where practical, highlight what changed. If a change ever expands the categories of data we collect, we will say so plainly in the app before the change takes effect.
