01Introduction
UNIFY Hi-Res Music Player Pro
(also called UNIFY Music) is an Android music
player, equalizer and audio-processing application operated by an
independent developer in Vietnam.
UNIFY Music can play audio stored on the device and can connect to
music controlled by the user in personal Google Drive, Dropbox,
WebDAV and SMB2/SMB3 or NAS locations. It does not provide a
public commercial streaming catalog.
The app also contains an optional online Community area. The
private connected-storage player and the public Community are
separate features.
Private-library principle:
connecting a cloud folder or private server does not automatically
publish, share or upload the user's music to Community.
02Age requirements
13+
Core player and connected storage
Users must be at least 13 to use local playback, equalizer
tools and private cloud/server playback. Provider account
rules and any higher local age requirement still apply.
Community is strictly 16+.
Users aged 13–15 may use the core player and private
connected-storage functions, but cannot use Community accounts,
posts, comments, follows, likes, favorites, reposts, creator
subscriptions or other Community activity.
Users under 13 must not use UNIFY Music. No parental-consent
exception permits a user under 16 to participate in Community.
03Local music and Android permissions
| Permission or data |
Purpose |
| Music and audio files |
Scan, organize and play supported files stored on the phone
or SD card; read path, filename, title, artist, album, genre,
duration, lyrics, tags and embedded artwork.
|
| Microphone or audio-analysis access |
Analyze sound waves for supported visualizers or audio
processing. UNIFY Music does not use this permission to
create or store voice recordings.
|
| Notifications and foreground playback |
Show playback controls, equalizer status, timers and
supported account or Community activity.
|
| Exact alarms |
Run a Wake Timer at the time selected by the user.
|
| Battery-optimization settings |
Help supported playback or spatial-audio functions continue
in the background. Changing this setting is optional.
|
| Local app storage |
Store playlists, queue state, lyrics, notes, metadata edits,
artwork references, profiles, presets, source indexes, cache
and editor projects.
|
| Internet and network access |
Connect to user-selected cloud accounts, WebDAV servers,
SMB/NAS shares, Community services, billing, updates,
analytics and advertising where enabled.
|
| Google Play Billing |
Validate trials, subscriptions, one-time purchases and
Premium entitlement without receiving full card or bank
details.
|
Local audio is processed on the device for playback, EQ, bass,
dynamics, visualizer, reverb and spatial effects. Original local
songs are not uploaded to a developer-operated server merely to
play or process them.
04Private cloud and server connections
Connected sources are optional and initiated by the user. UNIFY
Music may process the minimum information required to browse the
chosen location, build a local music index, show metadata and
artwork, stream audio, seek and cache completed or partial audio.
Dropbox
- OAuth account authorization and a selected folder or path.
-
Folder structure, file IDs or paths, names, types, sizes,
modification data, audio content, tags and artwork required for
the music library.
-
Saved source index and offline status information on the Android
device.
-
Disconnect and remove-library actions that do not delete the
original Dropbox files.
WebDAV
-
Server URL, selected folder, connection label, username and
password or app password where required.
-
Multiple saved WebDAV connections and folder selections.
-
Folder scanning, metadata, artwork, playback and later
synchronization of changes.
-
HTTPS is recommended. An unencrypted HTTP server may expose
traffic to network observers.
SMB2 / SMB3 and NAS
-
Server address, share name, selected folder and optional
username, password, domain or workgroup.
-
Multiple saved SMB/NAS connections, connection testing and
library synchronization.
-
File information, audio content, metadata and artwork needed to
browse and play the user's private share.
-
SMB connections generally operate on the user's local or
private network and depend on that network's security.
Credentials are private connection data.
They are not displayed in Community posts or shared with other
Community users. Users should protect their device, accounts,
server passwords and network.
05Google Drive access and Google API data
When the user connects Google Drive, UNIFY Music requests the
read-only Drive scope needed to browse an existing personal music
library. The app may access:
- File and folder names, IDs, hierarchy and selected folder.
-
MIME type, size, modification timestamp and other technical
metadata.
-
Audio file content required for metadata extraction, artwork
display, playback, buffering, seeking and local cache.
-
Basic Google account information required by the authorization
flow.
UNIFY Music uses Google Drive information only for user-requested
music-library functions. It does not use Drive
access to create, edit, rename, move, upload, share or delete
Google Drive files.
The narrower drive.file scope is insufficient
because users need to browse existing nested music folders and
audio files that were not created by UNIFY Music.
Google API Limited Use:
UNIFY Music's use and transfer of information received from
Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy,
including the Limited Use requirements.
Users can disconnect Google Drive inside the app and can revoke
UNIFY Music access from their Google Account security settings.
06
Progressive playback, source indexes and offline cache
To reduce waiting and support remote playback, UNIFY Music may:
-
Build an on-device index of supported songs, folders, metadata
and artwork.
-
Download an adaptive initial buffer before playback begins.
-
Continue downloading the current song sequentially while
playback reads completed bytes.
-
Request a new range or recover from the saved position when the
user seeks or playback is interrupted.
-
Retain fully downloaded songs for offline playback according to
the user's cache settings.
Cache controls may include off, a storage limit, Wi-Fi only,
Wi-Fi and mobile data, keep-after-disconnect and clear-cache
options. Android may also remove cache automatically when device
storage is low.
Disconnecting a source
-
Disconnecting stops future authorized access to that source.
-
The saved library index may remain on the device so the user can
see previously indexed songs and offline status.
-
Cached audio may remain when the user chooses to keep it.
-
Removing a saved library deletes local song entries, metadata
and artwork for that source, not the original provider or
server files.
-
Clearing cache removes downloaded copies from the Android
device, not the original cloud or NAS music.
Original-source protection:
removing a source library, clearing cache or disconnecting does
not delete songs from Google Drive, Dropbox, WebDAV or SMB/NAS.
08How information is used
-
Playback and audio processing:
local and remote music playback, seeking, EQ, visualizer,
effects, timers and editor tools.
-
Connected-source operation:
authorization, folder browsing, indexing, synchronization,
metadata, artwork, progressive playback and offline cache.
-
Authentication:
sign eligible users aged 16+ into optional Community services.
-
Community:
display profiles, publish and distribute presets or posts,
record interaction and deliver relevant activity notifications.
-
Moderation and safety:
investigate reports, enforce age restrictions, remove
prohibited content and prevent abuse or fraud.
-
Purchases:
confirm Google Play trials, subscriptions and one-time
entitlements.
-
Diagnostics and product improvement:
investigate crashes, compatibility, network errors and
aggregate feature performance.
-
Legal compliance:
respond to valid legal requests and protect users, the developer
and the service.
UNIFY Music does not sell private music files, connected-source
credentials, OAuth tokens, email addresses or Community account
data to advertisers or data brokers.
09
Service providers, public content and disclosures
Information may be processed by providers that support UNIFY
Music, including:
-
Google APIs and Google Identity:
Google Drive authorization and read-only music access selected
by the user.
-
Dropbox APIs:
Dropbox authorization and selected music-source access.
-
Google Firebase or equivalent infrastructure:
optional Community authentication, database, notifications,
moderation and server functions.
-
Google Play:
app distribution, billing, subscription management and
entitlement validation.
-
Analytics, crash-reporting or advertising providers:
only where enabled and subject to applicable platform and
consent controls.
-
Email-delivery providers:
necessary account messages and, only after separate opt-in,
optional product email.
WebDAV and SMB/NAS traffic is sent to the server chosen by the
user. The server owner and hosting provider may process connection
logs and files under their own terms.
Published Community profiles, posts, presets, comments and share
cards are intentionally public within the eligible Community.
Information may also be disclosed when required by law, to
protect users or the service, or as part of a legitimate business
transfer.
10
Advertising, analytics, communications and billing
Advertising
The free version may display ads where enabled. Advertising
partners may process device, advertising or approximate technical
identifiers according to applicable consent choices and their own
privacy policies. Private music files and storage credentials are
not supplied to advertisers.
Analytics and diagnostics
UNIFY Music may process app version, device category, playback or
feature events, network errors and crash traces to improve
stability, compatibility and security. Diagnostics are not
intended to include original music files or private server
passwords.
Email and notifications
Necessary account, security, deletion, purchase, moderation and
policy messages may be sent to eligible account holders. Optional
marketing email is off by default and requires a separate
affirmative opt-in available only to users aged 16 or older.
Every marketing message must include an unsubscribe method.
Billing
Google Play processes purchases. The developer may receive product
ID, purchase token, transaction state and entitlement information,
but not complete payment-card or bank details.
11Security, storage and retention
-
OAuth tokens, server details and credentials may be stored on
the Android device using available platform protections so the
user can reconnect.
-
Provider-supported encrypted transport is used where available.
HTTPS is recommended for WebDAV.
-
SMB/NAS security depends on the user's local network, server
configuration, password strength and protocol support.
-
Source indexes and cache remain until removed by the user,
Android storage management or app deletion.
-
Community account data is retained while active and until a
valid deletion request is processed.
-
Billing, security, fraud-prevention, moderation and diagnostic
records may be retained where reasonably necessary or legally
required.
-
Anonymous or aggregate statistics may be retained after they no
longer identify a user.
No security method is completely risk-free. Users should protect
their Android device, provider accounts, NAS, passwords, network
and backups.

13
Children, teenagers and Community eligibility
Under 13
UNIFY Music is not intended for children under 13. If we learn
that personal information from a child under 13 was collected, we
will investigate and delete it where required.
Ages 13–15
Users aged 13–15 may use the core player, equalizer and private
cloud/server playback where their provider account and local law
allow it. They cannot enter Community, hold a Community account,
publish or download Community presets, create a Community profile,
comment, follow, like, favorite, repost or use other Community
interactions.
Age 16 and older
Community is available only after the user confirms they are at
least 16 and completes supported account requirements.
Underage Community accounts
If we reasonably believe a Community user is under 16, Community
access may be restricted immediately while the account is
reviewed. Confirmed underage Community data may be deleted or
anonymized.
No parental-consent bypass:
users under 16 are not permitted to participate in Community even
if a parent or guardian gives permission.
14Spatial-audio data acknowledgment
UNIFY Music’s headphone spatial-audio and HRTF effects use
head-related impulse response measurement data from the
CIPIC HRTF Database, provided by the CIPIC
Interface Laboratory at the
University of California, Davis.
The CIPIC HRTF Database contains research measurements used by
UNIFY Music to support binaural sound positioning across
horizontal and elevation directions during headphone playback.
Spatial processing is performed locally on the user’s Android
device. UNIFY Music does not send the user’s music to an
artificial intelligence service or developer-operated server to
create these spatial effects.
Dataset credit:
CIPIC HRTF Database, UC Davis — Algazi, Duda and Thompson, 2001.
Copyright © 2001 The Regents of the University of California.
The dataset is acknowledged and used in accordance with the
applicable CIPIC HRTF Database license terms.
15Changes and contact
This policy may be updated when app features, providers or legal
requirements change. Material changes will be announced through
the app, website, Play Store listing or account communication
where appropriate.
If a future use of data requires fresh consent, UNIFY Music will
request that consent separately rather than silently expanding an
earlier consent.
