Groovepede is a local-first progressive web app (PWA) for queuing Spotify albums. It has no backend server, no database, and no user accounts. All data stays on your device.
We collect no personal data. Groovepede stores the following only in your browser's localStorage:
This data never leaves your device. Clearing your browser storage or uninstalling the app removes it entirely.
Groovepede uses the Spotify Web API with the user-read-private scope only. This allows us to display your display name and profile picture. We never read your listening history, playlists, saved albums, or any other Spotify data.
Authentication uses the PKCE flow — no client secret is stored or transmitted.
Groovepede calls the Last.fm API anonymously (no user account required) to fetch genre tags, artist bios, and similar artist suggestions. These requests include only artist and album names — no personal identifiers.
Groovepede does not use Google Analytics or any tracking cookies. If privacy-friendly analytics (e.g. Plausible or Umami) are added in future, this policy will be updated to disclose what events are collected.
Explore mode includes links to Spotify and Last.fm artist pages. Clicking those links takes you to those services, which have their own privacy policies.
Groovepede is not directed at children under 13. If you are under 13, please do not use this app.
If this policy changes in a material way, we'll update the date at the top. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance.
