Privacy Policy

Last updated August 15, 2026 · Superb Meteor LLC

Electrofonic is made by Superb Meteor LLC. This policy covers the Electrofonic iPhone app and this website.

There are no accounts, no sign-up, and no Electrofonic server at this time. When you use the app, it connects directly to your amplifier over your own local network. We never see your amplifier, your network, or what you listen to.

What the app never collects

The app is built so that this list is a property of the code rather than a promise:

  • The names you give things — your zones, your sources, your groups, the amplifier itself. Events report zones and sources by position, as zone 3 and source 2, and there is no parameter a name could travel through.
  • Your amplifier’s address, or the address of anything else on your network. The app records that you changed the address, or how many amplifiers a search turned up — never the addresses themselves.
  • Anything you type. No event in the app accepts free text.
  • What you’re playing, or when. The app has no idea what is coming out of your speakers.

Finding your amplifier

An amplifier has no name on the network, only an address, so the app offers to find yours for you. When you use guided setup or Find my amp, the app asks every address on your local network whether an amplifier is listening there, and shows you the ones that answer.

This is why iOS asks for Local Network permission, and why the app cannot reach your amplifier if you decline it. The search runs on your device, on your network. Nothing about it is sent anywhere.

What stays on your device

Everything you configure lives in the app’s own storage on your iPhone. There is no Electrofonic server for it to sync to:

  • your amplifier’s address and port, and the name you give it
  • a hardware identifier for your amplifier’s network connection, so your setup stays attached to that amplifier
  • your zone names, source names and icons, per-zone volume limits, your groups, and the order you arranged them in
  • your appearance choice, whether demo mode is on, and your analytics setting

Settings → Reset all settings returns the app to how it looked the day you installed it, leaving alone only a configuration you saved for a different amplifier. Turning analytics off is the one choice a reset will not reverse. Deleting the app removes everything, including the analytics identifier.

What the app does collect

The app includes anonymous product analytics, provided by PostHog, so we can see which features get used and where people get stuck. You can turn this off in Settings, and it is a single switch.

Analytics are on by default. When they’re on, the app sends:

  • Product interaction events — that the app launched, that a connection attempt started and how it resolved, that a zone was powered on, muted, turned up, or switched to another source, that you saved settings or changed a mode, that you opened this policy. Zones, sources, and volume are numbers; nothing in an event identifies a room or a person.
  • How setup went — whether the app found your amplifier for you, how many it found, how the Local Network prompt was answered, and how you left setup. It is the only way to tell whether finding an amplifier automatically actually works for people.
  • How you use party mode, groups, and per-zone settings — that a party started and how many rooms it reached, how long it ran, that a room was left out of it or put back, that you made or changed a group, moved a group’s shared volume, set a room’s maximum volume, or marked a room as not in use. Rooms are numbers and counts here too — never the name you gave one. Every event also carries whether you were in demo mode at the time, so a simulated amplifier is never counted as a real one.
  • The analytics SDK’s standard envelope — app version, iOS version, device model, and language, along with an anonymous identifier the SDK generates on your device.

That identifier is not linked to you. The app never calls anything that would create a person profile, and no account exists to attach one to. Reinstalling the app resets it.

The app does not use autocapture, screen recording, or session replay. Every event is one we wrote down deliberately; there is no general net catching whatever happens.

Being precise about your IP address

The app strips your IP address from every event it sends, so it isn’t stored as a property and isn’t resolved to a location. But PostHog’s servers necessarily see the address your phone connects from, the same way any website you visit does. That is your public internet address — not anything about the devices on your home network.

What we don’t do with any of it

We don’t sell it. We don’t share it with data brokers. We don’t use it to track you across other apps or websites, and the app carries no advertising or third-party tracking code. Analytics data is processed by PostHog in the United States on our behalf.

Turning analytics off

Open Settings in the app and switch analytics off. It stops immediately, not at the next launch.

Opting out sends nothing — not even a note that you opted out. That’s deliberate: reporting the moment you asked us to stop would be the one thing we shouldn’t do. Switching it back on is recorded.

This website

This site has no analytics, no cookies, and no third-party scripts. It is static files. If you use the light/dark toggle, your choice is saved in your browser and read by nothing but the page.

It is hosted on GitHub Pages, and GitHub keeps standard server request logs as part of serving it — see GitHub’s own privacy statement for what that involves.

Children

Electrofonic is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. The app links here rather than shipping its own copy, so what you are reading is always current.
