EarsMixerPrivacy Policy
EarsMixer is a mobile app that lets musicians control their own in-ear monitor mix by connecting to an EarsMixer server running on the same local network. This policy describes what the app does with your information.
Who runs EarsMixer
The EarsMixer app is published by EarsMixer (“we”). An EarsMixer server is set up and run by the venue, church, or audio engineer whose sound desk you are connecting to — not by us. When you connect, you are talking to that operator’s server on their network.
Information stored on your device
The app keeps the following on your phone, so you don’t have to set it up each time:
- A random device identifier the app generates the first time it runs. It is not your device’s hardware ID, advertising ID, or phone number — it is a random value used only to recognise this install when it reconnects.
- The nickname you choose.
- The address of the mixer you last connected to, and an access token if that mixer required a PIN.
- Your layout preferences (which channels you show and how they are arranged).
This information stays on your device. You can clear it by signing out in the app or uninstalling it.
Information sent to the EarsMixer server
When you connect to an EarsMixer server, the app sends that server:
- Your device identifier and nickname, so the engineer can see who is connected.
- The access token, if the server requires a PIN, to keep you signed in.
- Your mix adjustments (for example, turning your own vocal up).
The server may record your device identifier, nickname, most recent network address, and the time you were last seen, so its administrator can manage who has access. That data lives on the operator’s server, under their control. If you want it removed, ask the person running the desk — they can sign out or forget your device.
Information we collect
The app sends no data to us or to any third party. There is no analytics, advertising, tracking, or third-party SDK, and the app has no user accounts hosted by us. It communicates only with the EarsMixer servers you choose to connect to, normally on your local network.
Permissions
The app uses your local network connection to reach the mixer, and the camera only if you choose to scan a mixer’s QR code to connect. Camera images are used on-device to read the code and are not stored or transmitted.
Children
EarsMixer is a tool for musicians and audio engineers and is not directed at children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the “last updated” date above will change with it. Significant changes will be noted in the app’s release notes.
