We are committed to protecting your privacy.

libFT ("we", "our", "the app") is a free audiobook player that streams public-domain titles from LibriVox via archive.org and plays audio files stored on your device. This policy explains what information the app accesses, why, and how it is used.
libFT requires no registration, login, or account of any kind. We do not collect your name, email address, or any personally identifying information.
All app data is stored exclusively on your device in a private SQLite database. This includes:
None of this data is transmitted to us or to any third-party server.
The app uses an internet connection solely to:
These requests go directly to archive.org / librivox.org, which are operated by the Internet Archive, a US 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We do not operate any intermediate server, proxy, or analytics endpoint. Your IP address is visible to archive.org during streaming, as with any direct internet connection. Please refer to the Internet Archive's privacy policy for their data practices.
On Android, the app may request Read External Storage / Read Media Audio (and on Android 11+ optionally All Files Access) solely to scan a user-selected folder for audio files and to display cover art found alongside them. The app never modifies or deletes your files. Permissions are requested only when you choose to use the local library feature; the remote streaming feature works without any storage permission.
When you use the manual file import option, selected files are copied into the app's private storage directory. The originals on your device are not altered.
libFT contains no analytics SDKs, no advertising networks, and no crash-reporting services. We do not track how you use the app, which books you listen to, or how long you listen. There are no ads.
libFT does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. Because no personal data is collected from any user, the app is safe for use by all ages.
All data lives on your device. You can clear it at any time by clearing the app's storage in your Android settings (Settings → Apps → libFT → Storage → Clear data), or by uninstalling the app. We hold no copy of your data and there is nothing for us to delete on our end.
If we update this policy, the "Last updated" date above will change. Continued use of the app after any change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
