Hey there! Here’s how this app works in simple terms:

When you log in using Spotify, you’ll get something called a "token." Think of it like a temporary key that’s unique to your account. This key lets us access only your saved songs and username—nothing else.

Before anything happens, Spotify will ask you what permissions you're okay with, so we can only do what you allow. The token (or key) lasts for 60 minutes, and after that, you’ll need to log in again to get a new one.

With this key, we collect your username and saved tracks and add them to our database. This lets you (and others) search for your username to discover songs that are similar to yours stored in the database.

Here’s the important part: After 5 minutes, all your data is automatically deleted from our database. Why? Because storage is expensive, and to optimize the database and “recycle” available space, we delete all data once it’s no longer needed. This ensures transparency—we don’t keep or store your data beyond what’s necessary for the app to work.

And that’s pretty much it!
