German-first Promotional Text, Descriptions, Keywords and App Review notes, plus the app-specific privacy text the existing website policy is missing. Every character-limited field is checked by check-limits.py, which also catches headings whose stated count has drifted from the real length. Three things the brief assumed turned out not to hold, and the copy says so rather than shipping the claim: a Mac cannot act as a host, the published privacy policy covers only the website, and the App Review notes field caps at 4000 characters.
App Store copy
Source of truth for what goes into App Store Connect. Every character-limited field in here has
been counted with check-limits.py; run it after any edit.

App-specific privacy text to add to the existing policy page |
German is primary throughout and uses the same informal "du" voice as the website
(punktfunk-website/messages/de.json). English is a localisation, not a translation exercise — a
few lines diverge where the German idiom does not carry.
Three things that contradicted the original brief
- A Mac cannot be a host. The brief suggested Mac copy could cover "running as a host/server
or client on Mac". There is no macOS host —
punktfunk-hosthas no macOS capture, virtual display, or encode backend. The macOS copy is client-only and says so explicitly. - The existing privacy policy is website-only. It covers server logs, Plausible, and a
language cookie, and never mentions the apps. Linking it unchanged from App Store Connect is
the kind of thing that draws a reviewer's attention to analytics that have nothing to do with
the app. See
privacy-app-addendum.mdfor the text to append. - App Review notes cap at 4000 characters, not the unlimited field the brief implied. The template is 3919 and fits.
Claims used, and where they come from
Everything asserted in the copy was checked against the source rather than the marketing site:
- Hardware decode, HDR/4:4:4, controller and input support —
clients/apple/README.md - Entitlements and their justifications —
Config/Punktfunk.entitlements,Config/Punktfunk-macOS.entitlements(both carry detailed rationale comments) - Background audio mode and its 2.5.4 constraints —
Config/Info.plist - "Collects no data" — verified by absence: no analytics SDK in
Package.swift, no telemetry symbols inSources/,URLSessionused only against the paired host - Host platforms and protocol details — root
README.md,docs/releases/v0.24.0.md - Feature ship dates —
git tag --containson the relevant commits
Not done here
clients/apple has no PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy. The app uses UserDefaults, which is a
required-reason API, so a manifest is expected. Flagged at the end of review-notes.md; left
alone because it is a code change, not copy.
