Last updated: September 7, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how AF Roda Development (“we”) handles personal information in connection with the Live Stems app (com.livestems) for Android and Wear OS (the “Service”).
We follow data minimization and privacy by design. Live Stems is built so audio and sessions live on your device; we do not operate an account backend or a stem-storage server for this app.
1. Controller
- Controller: AF Roda Development
- Country: Spain (European Union)
- Privacy contact email: albertorodadev@gmail.com
- Application: Live Stems (
com.livestems)
If we appoint a Data Protection Officer when legally required, we will update this policy.
2. Territorial scope
This policy applies worldwide. Where the GDPR (EU/EEA), UK GDPR, Brazil’s LGPD, California’s CCPA/CPRA, or other local laws grant you additional rights, we honor them as applicable.
3. Information we process
Depending on how you use the app, we may process:
#### 3.1 Audio and media files (primarily local)
- stems, tracks, setlists, projects, and mix preferences you import or create;
- local audio annotations or recordings, if you use those features.
This content is stored on your device (and, if you enable local sync between your devices, it may be transmitted only between your devices on the local network). We do not upload it to AF Roda servers for hosting.
You are responsible for having the rights needed for content you import or play.
#### 3.2 Microphone
With your permission, the microphone may be used for optional features (e.g. tuner or annotations). Microphone audio is processed on-device for that feature. We do not use it for advertising or sell it.
#### 3.3 Camera
With your permission, the camera may be used for optional Live Sync / pairing features (e.g. scanning a code). We do not use the camera for surveillance or to upload videos to our servers.
#### 3.4 Local network, Wi‑Fi, and location (when required by the OS)
For Live Sync or other local-network features, the app may use Wi‑Fi / nearby devices. On some Android versions, the OS requires location permission to scan or configure Wi‑Fi even though we do not use GPS to profile you or for ads.
Local pairing data is used to connect your devices to each other.
#### 3.5 Wear OS / Google Play services
If you use the companion Wear OS app, playback commands and state are exchanged between watch and phone via Wear OS / Google APIs. That traffic is also governed by Google’s policies.
#### 3.6 Device technical data
Technical identifiers needed for operation may be processed locally (e.g. playback state, preferences, notifications).
#### 3.7 Purchases (if offered later)
If there are in-app purchases or subscriptions, Google Play processes payments. We would only receive the minimum information needed to unlock features (e.g. purchase status), not full card details.
#### 3.8 What we do not do
We do not sell personal data.
We do not use your stems or microphone audio to train third-party AI models.
We do not build advertising profiles from Live Stems usage.
We do not require an AF Roda account to use the app in its current setup.
4. Purposes and legal bases (GDPR / UK GDPR)
| Purpose | Typical legal basis |
| --- | --- |
| Play stems, mix, setlists, and local preferences | Performance of the contract / requested service (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Microphone, camera, storage, or network permissions | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)), withdrawable in system settings |
| Live Sync between your devices | Performance of the service and, where applicable, permission consent |
| Security, abuse prevention, and stability | Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)), balanced against your rights |
| Legal compliance | Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) |
| Google Play purchases (if any) | Contract performance and Google’s terms |
You may withdraw permission consent at any time in device settings; some features will stop working.
5. Retention
- Local data: for as long as the app remains installed, or until you delete it / uninstall / reset the device.
- We do not maintain a Live Stems user database on our own infrastructure.
- If you email us support details later, we keep them only as long as needed to resolve the request and meet legal duties.
6. Recipients and processors
We may rely on:
- Google (Android, Wear OS, Google Play, Play services) as distribution and OS platform;
- providers strictly necessary to run afroda.dev (e.g. hosting), not to store your stems.
These parties process data under their own policies when they act as independent controllers (e.g. Google Play).
7. International transfers
We do not transfer your stems to our infrastructure. If you use Google or other global providers, your data may be processed outside the EEA under those providers’ safeguards (e.g. standard contractual clauses). Where we are the controller and a transfer occurs, we will use mechanisms recognized by the European Commission / UK ICO as applicable.
8. Security
We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures (minimization, OS permission controls, local storage). No system is 100% secure. Protect your device with a lock and updates.
9. Your rights
#### European Union / EEA and United Kingdom
You may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability, and withdraw consent. You may also lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority (in Spain, the AEPD; in the UK, the ICO).
Because we do not host a Live Stems cloud account, many rights are exercised by deleting data on-device or uninstalling. For anything else, email albertorodadev@gmail.com. We will respond within legal timeframes (typically one month in the EU, subject to complexity).
#### California (CCPA/CPRA) and similar U.S. state laws
We do not sell or “share” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under the CCPA/CPRA. You may exercise know / delete / non-discrimination rights by contacting us. If our model changes, we will update this policy and opt-out mechanisms.
#### Brazil (LGPD) and other jurisdictions
If the LGPD or other laws grant equivalent rights (access, correction, deletion, information about sharing), you may exercise them at the same email. We will apply the law that mandatorily favors you when required.
10. Children
Live Stems is not directed to children under the applicable digital-consent age in your country (e.g. 13–16 in EU Member States). We do not knowingly collect children’s data. If you are a parent/guardian and believe a child provided data to us, contact us.
11. Automated decisions
We do not make automated decisions with significant legal effects about you based on Live Stems profiling.
12. Cookies and website
This policy covers the app. The afroda.dev website may have its own website privacy policy.
13. Changes
We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date will change. For material changes, we will provide reasonable notice (e.g. listing or in-app notice) when required by law.
