By using TrackQueen, you agree to be bound by the following, in addition to the terms of any third-party service TrackQueen connects to on your behalf, including the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.
When you connect to Spotify with TrackQueen, you will be enabling permissions that allow the app to check your currently playing song and access other info that Spotify makes available. You can see all of the permissions and data that will be requested when you go through the TrackQueen “Login with Spotify“ process. You can also reference this screenshot to see the list of data that TrackQueen will get from Spotify.
TrackQueen uses YouTube API Services to find and display videos, live performances, interviews, and comments related to the song you're currently listening to. This use is subject to the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.
The video and comment data TrackQueen retrieves from YouTube (video titles, thumbnails, channel names, comment text, like counts, and similar public metadata) is fetched directly from YouTube each time you use the app. TrackQueen does not require you to sign in to a YouTube or Google account to use this feature, and it does not access, collect, or store any of your personal YouTube account data. Data returned by YouTube's API is held only in the app's temporary in-memory cache for the duration of your session and is discarded, not persisted to disk or to any server, when you close the app or navigate away.
TrackQueen also uses the Musixmatch, Genius, ChatGPT, and ACRCloud APIs to provide lyrics, background info, AI-generated answers about your currently playing song, and (if you use the "Search nearby audio" feature) song identification from a short microphone recording. As with YouTube, this data is fetched live and used only to display information back to you within the app; it is not stored by TrackQueen.
Currently, TrackQueen does not save any of your data on its own servers other than the email you submit to sign up for the beta. You will not be asked to create an account with TrackQueen. The app does not use cookies or similar tracking technologies, and it does not place, access, or recognize any tracking identifiers on your device. The app simply displays data from Spotify's, YouTube's, and its other content providers' APIs back to you. This is unlikely to change in the future, but if it does, you will be made aware of it.
Because the app does not store your data on a server or require you to create an account, deleting TrackQueen from your phone is all you need to do to stop it from accessing your connected accounts in the future. If you want to go a step further:
