Privacy First

Your Library.
Your Business. Nobody Else's.

No accounts. No tracking. No cloud uploads. No data collection. StashDeck runs entirely on your machine—your music library stays private, always.

What Other DJ Software Knows About You

Cloud-based DJ tools collect more data than you might think.

What Cloud Services Track

  • Every track you own — uploaded for "analysis"
  • Your listening habits — what you play, when, how often
  • Your gig schedule — inferred from activity patterns
  • Your unreleased edits — stored on their servers
  • Purchase patterns — what labels and artists you buy from

What StashDeck Collects

Nothing

Zero data leaves your computer

How StashDeck Protects Your Privacy

Privacy isn't a feature we added—it's how the software is built from the ground up.

100% Local Processing

All audio analysis—BPM detection, key detection, energy analysis—runs on your CPU. Nothing is sent to external servers.

Uses WebAssembly for near-native performance

No Account Required

Download, install, use. No email. No password. No "sign in with Google." No identity linked to your library.

You're a user, not a data point

Local Database

Your library metadata is stored in a local SQLite database. You own it. You can back it up. You can delete it.

Standard format, no vendor lock-in

Technical Privacy Guarantees

No network requests for core features

Analysis, organization, and export work without internet

No telemetry or analytics

We don't track usage, crashes, or behavior

No third-party SDKs

No Google, Facebook, or analytics libraries

Audio files never leave your disk

We read them for analysis, never copy or upload

Portable installation option

Run from USB with zero footprint on host machine

Complete data deletion

Uninstall removes everything—nothing left behind

Why Privacy Matters for DJs

Your music library is more than files—it's your competitive edge.

🎯

Your Selection is Your Brand

The tracks you dig for, the edits you make, the combinations you discover—that's what makes you unique. Cloud services can see (and potentially share) your entire curation strategy.

🔒

Unreleased Tracks Stay Unreleased

Promos from labels, exclusive edits from producer friends, your own works-in-progress—these shouldn't exist on anyone's server but yours.

📊

Your Data Has Value

Listening patterns, genre preferences, purchase behavior—this data is valuable to labels, promoters, and streaming services. You should decide who gets it.

🌍

Global Privacy Compliance

Playing international gigs? Different countries have different data laws. Local-only software means you never have to worry about where your data "lives."

Privacy Questions

Does StashDeck ever phone home?

The only network request StashDeck makes is an optional check for updates (which you can disable). Core functionality—analysis, organization, export—works completely offline.

Where is my library data stored?

In a local SQLite database file in your app data folder. You can back it up, move it between machines, or delete it entirely. We never see it.

What about crash reports?

We don't collect automatic crash reports. If you encounter a bug, you can optionally copy error details to report via our Discord or GitHub—but it's always your choice.

Will you add cloud sync later?

Cloud sync is on the roadmap as an optional feature for users who want it. It will never be required, and local-only mode will always be fully supported.
