Privacy Policy for Blute

Effective date: April 14, 2026 App: Blute — Flute Song Catalogue Developer: Manoj Misran (Kitaab.com) Contact: admin@kitaab.com

Summary

Blute is an offline app. It does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal data. All information you enter stays on your device unless you explicitly choose to export it.

Data We Collect

None. Blute does not have analytics, crash reporting, advertising SDKs, or any network code that sends data to us or to any third party.

Data Stored Locally on Your Device

The app stores the following data only on your device, in its private application storage:

• Songs you add (title, raga, taal, genre, singer, composer, notes, ratings, etc.)
• Labels, genres, and categories you create
• Practice history (dates you marked songs as practiced)
• Your practice queue for today
• App preferences (theme, card density, audio folder path)
• Sheet music files and audio attachments you choose to import

This data never leaves your device through the app.

Permissions

Permission	Why it is used
Storage / Media access	To let you pick sheet music and audio files from your device and to save backup JSON files to a folder you choose
(No internet permission is required)	Blute works entirely offline

Backup and Restore

When you tap Export Backup, Blute creates a JSON file containing your song data. You choose where that file goes (Google Drive, OneDrive, local folder, email, etc.) using Android’s standard share or save dialog. The app has no involvement in, or visibility into, what happens to that file after you hand it off to another app or service. Those destinations have their own privacy policies.

When you Restore from Backup, you pick a JSON file yourself; Blute reads it and merges its contents into your local database.

Children’s Privacy

Blute does not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children under 13. The app is safe for general audiences.

Third-Party Services

Blute does not use any third-party analytics, advertising, tracking, or cloud services. Fonts bundled in the app (Noto Sans Devanagari, Nunito via Google Fonts) are packaged locally and do not make network requests.

Changes to This Policy

If we ever change this policy, the updated version will be posted at the same URL with a new effective date. Material changes will be noted in the Google Play listing.
