Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 7, 2026

Overview

Earleaf is a local-file audiobook player for Android. It does not require an account and does not transmit or share any personal data.

Data Storage

All data created by Earleaf is stored locally on your device and never sent to any server or third party. This includes:

• Your library and audiobook metadata
• Playback progress and settings
• Collections and organization
• Listening statistics (session history, streaks, and listening time)

File Access

Earleaf accesses audio files on your device only through folders you explicitly select using Android's Storage Access Framework. The app cannot access files outside the folders you grant permission to.

Third-Party Services

The only external service Earleaf connects to is Google Image Search, and only when you explicitly initiate a cover art search. No data is sent automatically or in the background.

Children's Privacy

Earleaf does not transmit any data from any user, including children. All information the app creates — such as playback progress and listening statistics — remains on the device and is never sent externally.

Changes to This Policy

If this privacy policy is updated, the revised version will be posted here with an updated date.
