Workouts and session reports
Salsamatic uses HealthKit to record dance workouts and read measurements such as heart rate, active energy and steps, with your permission. The watch uses motion data to estimate dancing, resting and song segments.
Workouts are saved to Apple Health. Reports, preferences, venues and notes are stored on your devices, and the watch sends session information to its paired iPhone. The watch also keeps recent motion samples and diagnostic logs for troubleshooting.
There is no Salsamatic account or Disco Media server storing your workout history. We do not receive your Health records, session reports or motion samples through the app. This version does not provide Salsamatic cloud sync.
Microphone and song recognition
If you enable Plus song recognition, the watch uses its microphone during sessions to identify music through Apple’s ShazamKit service. Music recognition data is processed by Apple. Salsamatic stores the recognised title, artist and related song identifiers with the session.
When a match fails, the app may keep a short audio fingerprint for a later recognition attempt. A fingerprint describes sound for matching; it is not a saved audio recording. Salsamatic does not save microphone audio recordings.
Location and Apple Music
Location access is optional. It is used when you save a venue on your iPhone or enable automatic venue tagging for watch sessions. Saved venues and session tags stay with your app data.
If you export a playlist, the iPhone app requests Apple Music access and sends the recognised song identifiers to Apple Music to create the playlist in your library.
Purchases and TestFlight
Apple processes Plus purchases. The app checks your App Store purchase records to unlock Plus. Disco Media does not receive your payment card details.
For TestFlight builds, Apple handles invitations, testing diagnostics and feedback. We receive feedback you choose to send through TestFlight. Apple’s services are covered by Apple’s privacy policy.
Your choices and device data
You can change Health, microphone and location permissions in your device settings. You can use the core session tracking features without enabling song recognition or venue tagging.
Removing Salsamatic removes its local app data from that device. Workouts already saved to Apple Health are managed separately in Health. Device backups and Apple’s services follow your Apple settings and Apple’s retention policies.

Support messages
If you use the support form, we receive your email address, optional name and message. A server function sends these details through DiscoMail to Disco Media’s support mailbox. There is no separate database of form submissions.
The mail service and mailbox retain the correspondence so we can respond and follow up on your request. Please avoid sending Health records or other private details. You can ask us to delete support messages that we can identify as yours.
Questions and changes
Use the support form or email support@discomedia.co to ask about this policy or your support correspondence. We will update this page and its date if the way Salsamatic handles data changes.
