Privacy Policy
Last updated: 31 May 2026
DashJam is built so that your recordings stay yours. This policy explains what the app accesses, where it is stored, and what is (and isn't) shared.
The short version
Your audio never leaves your device. DashJam has no servers, no account system, and no analytics. Nothing you record is uploaded anywhere. A recording only leaves your iPhone if you choose to share or export it.
What DashJam accesses
- Microphone. DashJam needs the microphone to record your session. iOS asks for your permission the first time you start a session. Audio is written only to storage on your own device.
- Background audio. So a session keeps running while you play, DashJam continues recording when it is in the background. It records only while a session is active, and stops when you end the session.
DashJam does not request or use your location, contacts, photos, or any other personal data.
What is stored, and where
- The rolling buffer (the most recent minutes of audio) is held in the app's private cache directory on your device. iOS may evict it to reclaim space.
- Saved jams are stored as
.m4aaudio files in the app's documents folder on your device. They are visible to you in the iOS Files app under DashJam. - Settings (such as your language preference) are stored locally in the app's own preferences.
All of the above lives on your device. None of it is transmitted to us or to any third party.
What we collect
Nothing. DashJam does not collect, transmit, or sell any personal data. There is no tracking, no advertising identifiers, and no third-party analytics or advertising SDKs in the app.
Sharing and exporting
You are always in control of when a recording leaves your device. Using the share sheet, the Files app, AirDrop, Messages, or any other destination you pick sends that file to wherever you direct it. Once you share a file with another app or service, that file is handled according to that destination's terms — which are outside DashJam's control.
Children's privacy
DashJam does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children. It collects no data at all.
