No Telemetry
No telemetry or analytics are recorded by the Arlet app. Arlet does not collect usage statistics or send data to the developer.
Apple Music
Arlet is an Apple Music client, so it talks to Apple to work:
- It loads Apple’s MusicKit from
js-cdn.music.apple.com. - Signing in happens in Apple’s own sign-in window (
authorize.music.apple.comand Apple ID pages). Arlet never sees your Apple ID password. - Your library, search, recommendations, playback, and artwork come from Apple Music services (
*.apple.comand*.mzstatic.com).
Apple’s privacy policy applies to the data Apple receives. The Apple Music sign-in token stays in Arlet’s local storage on your PC and is removed when you sign out.
Self Updater
When Arlet checks for updates, it requests release information and update files from GitHub. Your IP address may be shared with GitHub as part of the update process. The check runs when Arlet starts, and you can turn it off in Settings > Updates. It also runs when you select Check now.
Data on your PC
Arlet keeps these files on your PC and does not upload them:
- Settings, pinned playlists, and the window size and position.
- A cached copy of your library, for a fast start and offline viewing.
- A local log file for troubleshooting, with tokens removed.
Sign out clears the cached library and pinned playlists. Reset in Settings clears your settings and window position.
Support Me link
The Support Me link in the sidebar opens https://rosie.run/support in your web browser only when you select it.
Open Source
Arlet is open source, so anyone can review exactly what it does on its GitHub Repository.
