Sonify Download

Privacy

What Sonify does with your data.

The short version: there is no Sonify account, no advertising and no analytics. The app talks to your speakers on your own network, and to the music services you already use.

Draft. This page was written from the app’s source code and has not yet been reviewed by the developer. The items marked “to be confirmed” need real values before it is published.

What stays on your device

Your settings, scenes, EQ presets, search history, recently played list and a cache of your Home page are stored on your iPhone or iPad. The widgets read what they show from storage shared with the app on the same device.

Your Sonos system

Sonify finds and controls your speakers over your local network. iOS asks for your permission before the app can do that. Commands such as play, pause, volume and grouping go from your device straight to your speakers.

Your music services

Sonify reads the list of music services from your Sonos system and contacts those services directly from your device to browse, search and play. It does not ask for your passwords. Each service handles those requests under its own privacy policy, as it does when you use the Sonos app.

Artwork is loaded from the services’ own servers.

The play queue on sonify.cloud

When you start music from Sonify, the list of tracks to play is sent to Sonify’s queue service at sonify.cloud, and your speakers fetch it from there. This is the one part of Sonify that passes through a Sonify server. A queue contains track information and is identified by your Sonos group, not by your name or an account.

To be confirmed: how long queues are kept, and what the server logs.

Track previews

If you play a 30-second preview while choosing music for a scene, Sonify may look the track up in the iTunes Store by title and artist to find the clip. That request goes to Apple.

NFC tags

A tag written by Sonify holds a sonify.cloud link containing the identifier of the item or scene, and of the rooms you chose. Anyone who reads the tag with a phone can see that link. It contains no password.

What Sonify does not do

  • No Sonify account or sign-in.
  • No advertising, and no analytics or tracking code in the app.
  • No access to your contacts, photos, location or microphone. The app asks for two permissions: your local network, and NFC when you write a tag.
