Snapdroid: Privacy policy

This is an open source Android app developed by Johannes Pohl and contributors. The source code is available on GitHub under the GPL-3.0; the app is also available on Google Play.

As an avid Android user myself, I take privacy very seriously. I know how irritating it is when apps collect your data without your knowledge.

I hereby state, to the best of my knowledge and belief, that I have not programmed this app to collect any personally identifiable information.

Explanation of permissions requested in the app

The list of permissions required by the app can be found in the AndroidManifest.xml file:

https://github.com/badaix/snapdroid/blob/master/Snapcast/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml


Permission Why it is required
android.permission.WAKE_LOCK Required to play audio in the background and while the screen is locked. Permission automatically granted by the system; can't be revoked by user.
android.permission.INTERNET Required to open a TCP connection to the Snapcast server. Permission automatically granted by the system; can't be revoked by user.
android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE Enables the app to create spawn the native Snapcast client as a server, running independly from the control app. Permission automatically granted by the system; can't be revoked by user.
android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED This permission enables the app to receive a message from the system once the system has rebooted and to start the Snapcast client automatically, if "auto start" is enabled. Permission automatically granted by the system; can't be revoked by user.
android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_MULTICAST_STATE Enables automatic discovery of the Snapcast server in the LAN via mDNS. Permission automatically granted by the system; can't be revoked by user.
android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS Required to show a notification while audio is being played.

If you find any security vulnerability that has been inadvertently caused by me, or have any question regarding how the app protectes your privacy, please send me an email or post a discussion on GitHub, and I will surely try to fix it/help you.

Yours sincerely,
Johannes Pohl.
