privacy policy

last updated november 11, 2026

crackle has no accounts. your lists, favorites and saved listings live on your iphone and in your own icloud drive, never on the developer's servers. this page says what leaves the phone and why.

what's stored, and where

your lists, favorites and saved listings, in the app's database on your iphone.

backups of them in your icloud drive (files → icloud drive → crackle), if icloud drive is on. that's your own icloud storage: the developer can't see it. you can turn backups off in the library tab.

that's everything. there's no account, usage data, location, contacts, advertising identifier or device fingerprinting.

what the app sends

searches and the albums and artists you open go to the developer's music catalog service, which looks them up on apple music and last.fm (and on spotify, to find an album's spotify link). those requests carry no account, name or device id, and aren't logged against you.

spotify: "open in spotify" opens the album in the spotify app or on open.spotify.com, where spotify's privacy policy applies.

apple music: if you connect it to play albums, playback runs through your apple music account under apple's privacy policy. the developer never sees it.

copies for sale: when you open an album's listings, your phone loads them directly from the discogs marketplace, so discogs sees that request (like visiting its website) and its own privacy policy applies.

expo: each time the app opens, it checks expo's update service for a newer version. that request includes a random id for this install and nothing else.

analytics and tracking

crackle contains no analytics, advertising, crash reporting or tracking code, and doesn't use cookies.

this website

crackle.gusfl.us is a static website. it sets no cookies and runs no analytics. like any website, the hosting provider (amazon web services) may keep standard request logs.

deleting your data

delete a list or favorite in the app and it's gone from your iphone; the next backup no longer has it. deleting the app removes everything on the phone; old backups stay in your icloud drive until you delete them in files.

children

crackle isn't directed to children under 13.

changes

if this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date at the top.
