Effective July 22, 2026

Privacy Policy

TRAKCAST is designed to keep core station data on your Mac while making the network requests needed for broadcasting and optional enrichment.

What TRAKCAST accesses

With macOS permission, TRAKCAST accesses the audio device you select. Selected audio is processed to meter, encode, and broadcast it to the streaming server you configure. TRAKCAST connects to that server using credentials you provide.

Data stored on your Mac

Station profiles, metadata-source settings, artwork and metadata caches, and broadcast History are stored locally. Station credentials use macOS/Electron secure storage. During beta, an optional Discogs token is also encrypted locally.

Metadata and artwork services

If you configure a public Serato Live Playlist URL, TRAKCAST requests it to identify current metadata. Artwork lookups may send Artist and Title to MusicBrainz, Cover Art Archive, and Discogs. Those services operate under their own terms and privacy policies. Results can be cached locally.

Local OBS overlay

The OBS-compatible overlay server binds to the loopback interface, making it available to software on the same Mac rather than the public internet.

Diagnostics

Diagnostic reports are created for you to review and share voluntarily. TRAKCAST attempts to redact recognized credentials and tokens, but you should inspect any report before sending it.

What we do not do

The initial website and application use no advertising, analytics, or behavioral tracking. We do not sell personal information. A TRAKCAST user account is not presently required.

Your choices and deletion

You can stop provider requests by removing their configuration, revoke microphone access in macOS settings, remove station profiles and History in the app where available, and delete TRAKCAST application data from your Mac. Removing the application alone may not remove its saved application-data folder.

Changes and contact

We may revise this policy as the beta and its services change. A new effective date will accompany material updates. Questions may be sent to support@tttradionetwork.com.
