KaraokMe privacy policy
Effective November 10, 2026 · applies to KaraokMe for iPhone, Apple Watch, Android and Wear OS
The short version. Your songs, karaoke codes, plans, locations and history stay on your device. There's no account, and we never see them. The free version shows ads from Google, and the app sends crash reports and simple usage counts to Google. You can turn the reports and counts off, and KaraokMe Plus removes the ads.
Who we are
KaraokMe is made by Apeqs Integrated Solutions LLC, a New York limited liability company ("we"). Questions about this policy go to support@karaokme.com.
What stays on your device
Everything you put into KaraokMe is stored only on your phone and watch: songs, artists, ratings, notes, karaoke codes, locations, plans, tickets, wait times and how each performance went. We don't have a server that receives it.
- iCloud Sync (iPhone, KaraokMe Plus). If you turn it on, your data is copied to your own private iCloud storage so your other Apple devices can show it. Apple stores it under your Apple ID, and we can't read it.
- Phone backups. If your phone backs up to iCloud or to your Google account, that backup may include KaraokMe's data. The backup belongs to you and is handled by Apple or Google.
- Your watch. The Apple Watch and Wear OS apps get tonight's plan directly from your phone.
- Apple Music import (iPhone, KaraokMe Plus). The app asks for permission first, then reads only the playlist you pick so it can add those songs. Nothing about your library is sent to us.
- Reminders are scheduled on your device. No notification server is involved.
- Location. KaraokMe doesn't use your device's GPS. Locations are names you type. "Find Karaoke Near Me" opens Apple Maps or Google Maps, and that app's own privacy policy applies there.
What Google's services collect
KaraokMe uses three Google services. They collect the following, whatever app they're in:
| Service | What it collects | Why | Can you turn it off? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google AdMob free version only | Device and advertising identifiers, approximate location from your IP address, how you interact with ads, and diagnostics | Showing and measuring ads, and preventing fraud | KaraokMe Plus removes ads. You can also limit ad personalisation (see below). |
| Firebase Crashlytics | Crash logs, device model, system version and an app installation ID | Finding and fixing crashes | Yes: Settings › Data › Share app usage |
| Google Analytics for Firebase | Counts of which screens and features are used, plus an app installation ID | Learning which features people use | Yes: Settings › Data › Share app usage |
The usage counts are numbers and choices only. They never include song titles, artists, location names or anything you typed. Google's own policies are at policies.google.com/privacy and policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Ads and your choices
- On iPhone, Apple asks whether KaraokMe may track you. If you say no, ads are not based on your activity in other apps.
- In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, Google's consent form asks for your choice before personalised ads are shown. You can change it later from Settings.
- On Android, you can reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's Settings › Privacy › Ads (the names vary by phone).
Purchases
KaraokMe Plus is bought through the App Store or Google Play. Apple or Google handles the payment, and we never see your card or account details. The app only learns whether Plus is active.
What we don't do
- We don't sell your personal information.
- We don't ask for your name, email, contacts, photos or precise location.
- We don't share your data with anyone except the Google services listed above.
Adults only
KaraokMe is for people 18 and over. It isn't meant for children, and we don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.
Deleting your data
- In the app: Settings › Erase everything deletes all your songs, codes, plans, locations and history. With iCloud Sync on, it also deletes them from iCloud and your other devices.
- Uninstalling the app removes its data from that device.
- Google's data: turn off Share app usage to stop crash reports and usage counts. Because there's no account, we can't link Google's data to you by name. If you'd like us to ask Google to delete what it holds for your app installation, email us.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example the EU, the UK or California), you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information, and to object to how it's used. Email support@karaokme.com and we'll answer within 30 days.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we'll update it here and change the date at the top. Big changes will also be mentioned in the app's update notes.
