This website

This site is a simple, static showcase. It uses no analytics, no tracking pixels and no advertising. Visiting it does not create an account or collect personal information. The only cookie is the one that remembers a beta download code once you have entered it.

Beta testers

If you sign up to test on the beta page, we keep what you type: your email, a name if you give one, the devices you picked, the Google or Amazon account emails the app stores need to send you test builds, what you would like to test, your answers about your experience and how often you can test, your library size and any note. We also note the country you signed up from. We use it only to run the beta: to invite you, send test builds and keep in touch while you test. To invite an Android or Fire TV device, we give the Google or Amazon account email you entered to Google or Amazon, and nothing else. We also give you a tester code. When you enter it in the Ampchor app, we link that computer, and the phone or TV paired to it, to your signup, so we can follow up on your reports and see who helps most; until then your reports stay anonymous. If you start the Ampchor Pro free trial with it, we note when the trial starts and ends. We never sell any of it. Ask to leave and we delete it, links included.

Waiting list

If you join the waitlist, we keep your email, and the computer you use and how you heard about Ampchor if you tell us. We also note the country you signed up from. We use it only to tell you when Ampchor is ready to download. We never sell it or share it. Ask us to take you off the waitlist and we delete it.

The software

Ampchor runs on your own computer and your files stay on your own machine. It is not a cloud service, the studio has no servers that store your library and your media is never uploaded to us.

Metadata (posters, cover art, credits) is fetched from public providers to enrich your library; those requests are made by your own machine. The first time you open Ampchor it asks if you want to share anonymous reports that help fix bugs. Nothing is sent unless you say yes, reports contain no personal information and are deleted after 30 days, and you can change your answer anytime in Settings → Privacy.

The phone and TV apps

The Ampchor apps for iPhone, Android and TV show the library on a computer you have paired them with. They need no account and collect nothing about you. The same optional bug reports apply: the app asks once, sends nothing unless you say yes, and the reports (crash logs and performance figures, no names, no file names) are deleted after 30 days. You can change your answer any time in the app's Settings.

Away from home, Pro connects your phone to your computer through an encrypted connection set up by our service. That service helps the two devices find each other; what plays between them is encrypted end to end and never stored by us.

The apps use the camera only to scan the pairing code your computer shows, and the local network only to find your computer at home.
