Livil

Privacy Policy

A social music platform built around what you listen to.

Last updated: October 16, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information Livil (“we”, “us”, “the app”) collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. By creating an account or using Livil, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide

Email address — used to create and secure your account, sign you in, and send essential account emails.
Username (handle) — your unique identifier inside the Livil community.
Display name — the public name shown on your profile.
Password — only relevant for email/password sign-up; stored exclusively as a salted hash by our authentication provider. We never see or store your password in plain text.
Profile information — bio, avatar/profile picture, and any other content you choose to add to your profile.
Posts & social activity — content you create, along with likes, follows, and comments.
Account deletion feedback — if you choose to answer the optional question shown when you delete your account, we keep your answer to improve Livil, without your name or account attached.

Music listening activity

Tracks, artists, and albums you listen to, share, or interact with inside Livil.
Listening history and preferences — used to power social features (e.g. what you’re currently listening to, your top tracks) and to personalize your experience.
Spotify songs you open — when you tap “Play on Spotify”, we record which song it was and where in Livil you tapped it, to understand how the feature is used. Livil never plays Spotify audio and does not connect to your Spotify account.

Information from sign-in providers

If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from Google. We do not receive your Google password.
If you sign in with Apple, we receive the email address Apple shares with us (which may be a private relay address) and, if you choose to share it, your name. We do not receive your Apple ID password.

What is public

Your profile link (livil-music.com/@your-username) shows your display name, username, and profile picture to anyone who opens it, including people without a Livil account. Your bio, posts, friends, and other profile details are only shown inside the app. If you have published music on Livil, this page may appear in search engine results.
Songs you share as a link (livil-music.com/p/…) show the song's title, artist, cover art, caption, and like and comment counts to anyone who has the link. Listening to the song requires the Livil app and an account.

Information collected automatically

Authentication tokens stored on your device to keep you signed in.
Basic technical data — limited diagnostic information such as device type, OS version, and crash logs, used to keep the service stable.

Livil does not collect your precise location, contacts, microphone, or camera data unless you explicitly grant permission for a feature that requires it.

2. How We Use Your Data

To provide the service — create your account, authenticate you, store your profile and posts, and deliver content.
To enable social features — show your activity to followers, recommend people and music, and power feeds and notifications.
To personalize your experience — surface music and users that match your taste based on your listening activity and interactions.
To communicate with you — send essential service emails such as verification, security alerts, and account updates.
To keep Livil safe — detect abuse, enforce our terms, and improve reliability.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your data for third-party advertising.

3. Third-Party Services

Livil relies on trusted third-party providers to operate. These providers process limited data on our behalf, under their own privacy terms:

Supabase

Provides authentication, database, file storage, and backend services. Stores your email, hashed password, profile, posts, listening activity, and the media you upload. Privacy Policy →

Apple (Sign in with Apple)

When you choose “Sign in with Apple,” Apple authenticates you and shares the email address (or a private relay address) and, if you allow it, the name you choose with Livil. Privacy Policy →

Google (OAuth Sign-In)

When you choose “Sign in with Google,” Google authenticates you and shares basic profile information (name, email, profile picture) with Livil. Privacy Policy →

Spotify

When you search for a Spotify song or view one in Livil, your search text and the song’s ID are sent to Spotify’s Web API through our servers to fetch its title, artist, and artwork; the artwork is loaded directly from Spotify. “Play on Spotify” opens the song in Spotify. Livil does not connect to your Spotify account. Privacy Policy →

GIPHY

When you search for a GIF to add to a comment, your search text is sent to GIPHY’s API through our servers, without your name or account. GIFs in comments are loaded directly from GIPHY, so GIPHY receives your device’s IP address and basic device information when one is shown. Livil stores only the GIF’s ID with your comment. Privacy Policy →

Firebase Cloud Messaging

Delivers push notifications to your device (through Apple’s push notification service on iPhone). It receives a device token and the notification’s content. Privacy Policy →

AudD

Music recognition used to help protect rights holders: audio you upload may be checked against known recordings. AudD is given a link to the upload, not your account details. Privacy Policy →

Resend

Sends account emails, such as the welcome email, to your email address. Privacy Policy →

Vercel

Hosts the Livil website, including public profile and song-share pages. Privacy Policy →

Google Play Services

Required for app distribution and basic platform integrations on Android. Privacy Policy →

4. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored on infrastructure operated by Supabase (account data, content, and uploaded media). Communication between the app and our servers is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS. Passwords are stored only as salted hashes.

While we take reasonable precautions to protect your information, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure. You use the service at your own risk.

5. Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable period, except where retention is required for legal, security, or fraud-prevention reasons.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

Access — see the personal data associated with your account.
Update — edit your profile, display name, bio, and avatar from inside the app. Your username is permanent once chosen, so links to your profile keep working.
Delete — delete your account and the personal data associated with it, from inside the app (Settings → Privacy & data → Delete account).
Withdraw consent — stop using Livil and request account deletion at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email address below. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

7. Children’s Privacy

Livil is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will remove it.

8. International Users

Livil may be accessed from anywhere in the world. By using the app, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own, including by our service providers.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Material changes will be communicated within the app or via email where appropriate.
