Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 9, 2026

Overview

BenchHype is a live sports audio control app for iPhone and iPad. It is built to be private by design: BenchHype does not require an account and collects no personal data. This policy explains what stays on your device, how the optional features work, and the choices you have.

Information We Collect

BenchHype collects no personal information and transmits none to any server. Everything you create in the app — team rosters, player names and jersey numbers, sound cues, boards, scripts, setlists, and app settings — is stored only on your device. BenchHype has no accounts, no sign-in, and no backend.

Local Audio Files and Imported Content

Audio files you import and clips you record remain in BenchHype's on-device storage. BenchHype does not upload, transmit, or share your audio with any server or third party.

Microphone

If you choose to record audio clips, BenchHype uses the microphone solely to create those recordings. Recordings are saved locally on your device and are never transmitted. You can grant or revoke microphone access at any time in iOS Settings.

Apple Music Integration

Apple Music is optional. If you authorize it, BenchHype uses Apple's MusicKit framework to let you search the catalog and your library and assign tracks to sound cues. This is read-only access provided through Apple; BenchHype does not collect, store, or transmit your Apple Music credentials, listening history, or playback activity. Your Apple Music account is managed by iOS and is subject to Apple's Privacy Policy.

Backup and Export

BenchHype can save your setup to a backup file stored on your device. You may then export that file to a location you choose — for example, the Files app or iCloud Drive. BenchHype does not automatically upload or sync your data to any cloud service or server; exporting and where the file goes are entirely under your control.

In-App Purchases

BenchHype Pro is purchased through the Apple App Store using StoreKit. Apple processes the transaction; BenchHype never receives or stores your payment information. Purchases are governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.

Analytics, Diagnostics, and Tracking

BenchHype contains no third-party analytics, crash reporting, advertising, or tracking software. It does not collect usage data and does not track you across other apps or websites.

Third-Party Services

BenchHype relies on only the following Apple services, each governed by its own privacy policy:

• Apple Music — optional, for assigning and playing catalog tracks as cues
• Apple App Store / StoreKit — for the optional Pro purchase

Data Retention and Your Choices

Because all data is stored locally, retention is under your control. You can:

• Use BenchHype fully without connecting Apple Music or any external service.
• Delete all data by removing the app from your device.
• Grant or revoke Apple Music and microphone permissions in iOS Settings.

Children's Privacy

BenchHype can be used by people of all ages, including kids and students who help run game-day sound. Because BenchHype requires no account and collects no personal information from anyone — storing everything you create only on your device — it collects no personal information from children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children of any age.
