OssianOssian is an audiobook player that connects to your own Audiobookshelf, Jellyfin or Plex server. It has no servers of its own, no accounts, no analytics and no ads.
This is a translation for convenience. If it differs from the Spanish version, the Spanish version prevails.

Since the app collects no data, the only data we process is that of people who write to us (section 07).
03What the app keeps on your device
- Credentials. Your password is sent only to your server to sign in and is never stored. The session tokens your server returns are kept in your device's Keychain.
- Progress. It's saved on your server. A copy stays on the device so you can listen offline, and it's sent to your server once you're back online.
- Downloads. Audiobooks you download are stored on your device. You can delete them whenever you like.
- Listening stats. They're calculated and kept only on your device. You can delete them in Settings.
- Settings. Your preferences, such as speed or skip intervals, are kept on the device.
04Your server and your other devices
Ossian talks directly to the server you set up. What that server does with your data depends on whoever runs it, not on Ossian.
- Apple Watch. Your iPhone passes the account to the watch over Apple's encrypted channel between paired devices.
- Apple TV. When you link it, your iPhone opens a new session on your server for the TV and sends it encrypted over your local network. Your password never travels to the Apple TV.
- Plex. To use a Plex server you sign in with your account at plex.tv/link, on Plex's own website: Ossian never sees your password. Ossian asks plex.tv for a code and the list of your servers, identifying itself with a random number created on your device and the device's name. The token Plex returns is kept in the Keychain. Plex handles that data under its own privacy policy.
05Purchases
Ossian Plus and tips are bought through the App Store. Apple handles payment under its own privacy policy; Ossian only knows whether the purchase is valid, never your payment details.
06This website
This website uses no cookies, no analytics and no third-party fonts or services, and has no forms.
Like any web server, the one hosting it may temporarily log the IP address and the page requested, solely to keep it secure and running. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in protecting the website.
07If you write to us
If you email us, we'll use your address and what you tell us only to reply. We keep it for as long as the conversation lasts and delete it once it's no longer needed. The legal basis is the consent you give by writing to us. We don't share it with anyone.
08Your rights
You can request access to, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability of your data by writing to hola@ourtreehouse.eu. If you believe we haven't handled your data properly, you can lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) or with the data protection authority in your country.
09Changes
If this policy changes, we'll publish the new version here with its date. If a change affected what the app does with your data, we'd also mention it in the release notes.
