Pocketwave — Privacy Policy

Last Updated: TODO — set when content is finalized

Pocketwave is a software synthesizer made by Lucian Labs, available as a native Android app and as a Raspberry Pi service. The studio-wide defaults at lucianlabs.ca/privacy apply: no accounts, no telemetry, no cloud. This page documents Pocketwave-specific behavior.

Android Permissions

TODO (Pocketwave agent): Match the AndroidManifest exactly. List every permission requested (RECORD_AUDIO, MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS, USB / MIDI host, etc.) and why each is needed.

Raspberry Pi Runtime

TODO (Pocketwave agent): Describe what the Pi service does at install/runtime — systemd unit, audio driver claim, MIDI device claim, web-UI HTTP server bind address (0.0.0.0 vs. localhost?), default port. Be explicit about local-network exposure.

What Pocketwave Stores Locally

TODO (Pocketwave agent): Patches, sequencer state, mixer settings, UI prefs — where on disk per platform, and what removing the app or service removes.

Distribution Channels

TODO (Pocketwave agent): Confirm Android distribution path (Google Play Store? Direct APK? F-Droid?). If Play Store: Google Play Services collects standard install / crash data per Google's policies. Confirm Pi distribution (GitHub release? Custom installer? apt repo?).

Third-Party SDKs / Dependencies

TODO (Pocketwave agent): Confirm or list any bundled analytics / crash / licensing SDKs. If none, state so. The Pi build pulls some open-source audio dependencies — those don't need listing unless they phone home.

Network Behavior

TODO (Pocketwave agent): Be explicit about every network operation Pocketwave performs at runtime. Android: any updates checks? Pi: web UI HTTP server, any outbound calls? OSC traffic only on user-configured destinations?

Children's Privacy

Pocketwave does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, regardless of age.
