Privacy policy

Last updated 10 November 2026

The CrateMate app doesn't collect any personal data. There are no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. The only thing this website keeps is your email, and only if you ask to hear about the launch.

Your library stays yours

Your tracks, crates, tags and settings stay on your own devices and on your own Mac. The CrateMate app talks only to CrateMate for Mac on your own network (or your own VPN), using a pairing code that only your devices know.

Look-ups you choose to make

To find track details, artwork and stories, CrateMate can look tracks up in public music databases: MusicBrainz, Discogs, Wikipedia, Mixcloud and Apple's music catalogue. These look-ups send only what's needed to find the track or mix, such as the artist and title, or the Mixcloud username you enter. Those services have their own privacy policies.

AI features

Sound analysis and Apple Intelligence features run on your own Mac. Your music is never uploaded.

Broadcast this set

If you switch on Broadcast this set, the tracks you play (title, artist and artwork) are published on a page you choose to share with your audience, for as long as you leave it on.

Launch emails

If you give us your email on this website to hear when CrateMate launches, we keep only that address and the date, use it only to tell you about CrateMate's launch and big updates, and never share or sell it. To be taken off the list, email support@cratemateapp.com.

Purchases

Purchases are handled by Apple. We don't see your payment details.
