CueSuite is designed with privacy as a foundation. We don't collect, store, or transmit your personal information.
CueSuite is an independent iOS application designed for live sound cue management. It is developed and maintained by a small independent team.
This Privacy Policy explains what information CueSuite accesses, how that information is used, and your rights regarding it. By using the app, you agree to the practices described here.
CueSuite is a fully on-device application. All cues, settings, and audio references are saved locally on your iPad using iOS-standard storage mechanisms. Nothing is transmitted to the developer, to third-party analytics providers, or to any remote server by the app itself.
The optional companion networking feature (used with CueSuite Mobile on iPhone) communicates exclusively between your own devices over your local Wi-Fi network or Bluetooth — no data passes through any external server.
CueSuite saves the following data on your device only, using UserDefaults and iOS security-scoped bookmarks:
This data never leaves your device through CueSuite. It is not uploaded, synced, or shared with anyone.
CueSuite does not collect, store, or transmit any of the following:
All app data is stored in your device's local UserDefaults database. This storage is sandboxed to CueSuite and is not accessible to other apps. It is included in iCloud Backup if you have iCloud Backup enabled for your device in iOS Settings.
Audio files themselves are not stored inside the app. CueSuite stores a secure bookmark reference to files you select from the Files app or Music Library, and uses that bookmark to access the file at playback time.
To remove all CueSuite data from your device, delete the app from your iPad. iOS will remove all associated local storage, including saved cues, settings, and your device name, when the app is uninstalled.
When CueSuite Mobile (the iPhone companion app) connects to CueSuite on your iPad, the two apps communicate directly using one of two methods:
In both cases, communication is entirely peer-to-peer between your devices. No data passes through any server operated by the developer or any third party.
The only data sent between your iPad and iPhone is the current playback state and remote commands. Specifically:
Audio data is never transmitted. Your audio files remain entirely on the iPad.
You may set an optional password in the gear menu to restrict remote control access. This password is stored locally on your iPad using UserDefaults. The iPhone companion sends the password you type in the connection prompt — this exchange happens only between your two devices on your private local network or Bluetooth connection. The developer never receives or has access to this password.
CueSuite requests access to your Music Library so you can select songs from your Apple Music or iTunes library as cue sources. This permission is used only at the moment you choose a track — the app does not read, scan, or index your library in the background.
When you select an audio file from the Files app, iOS grants CueSuite a security-scoped bookmark to that specific file. This allows the app to access and play the file without requiring broad access to your entire file system. Only files you explicitly select are ever accessed.
CueSuite configures an AVAudioSession in playback mode so that audio plays reliably through the speaker even when the device's Silent switch is engaged. This is standard practice for live performance audio apps and does not involve any data collection.
The app registers with the iOS Now Playing system so that the currently playing cue's title appears on the lock screen and in Control Center, and so that hardware media controls can pause and resume playback. No personal information is involved in this feature.
CueSuite requests Local Network access so that it can advertise itself via Bonjour and accept incoming TCP connections from CueSuite Mobile on the same Wi-Fi network. This permission is used solely for the optional companion remote-control feature. CueSuite does not access any other device on your network and does not make any outbound connections to the internet.
CueSuite requests Bluetooth access to advertise itself as a Bluetooth LE peripheral so that CueSuite Mobile can connect wirelessly without Wi-Fi. Bluetooth is used solely for the optional companion feature. No Bluetooth data is sent to any third party.
CueSuite uses standard Apple system frameworks including AVFoundation, MediaPlayer, MusicKit, Network, and CoreBluetooth. When you use the Music Library picker or play a track via Apple Music, your interactions with that content are subject to Apple's Privacy Policy.
CueSuite does not integrate any third-party analytics SDKs, advertising networks, or data brokers.
CueSuite is distributed through the Apple App Store. Apple may collect certain information about your app download and purchase in accordance with their own privacy practices. Please review Apple's Privacy Policy for details on what Apple collects.
CueSuite does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. Because the app collects no personal data from any user, it presents no particular risk to younger users. However, the app is not specifically directed at children.
If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app in a manner not described here, please contact us at the address below and we will investigate promptly.
If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide notice through an App Store update description.
We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of CueSuite after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
