Privacy Policy

Personal Identification Information

Achordy is designed with privacy at its core. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal identification information from users. The app operates entirely offline and does not require user registration, email addresses, or any personal data to function.

Users can use Achordy completely anonymously. We do not ask for, collect, or store names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personally identifiable information.

Non-Personal Identification Information

Achordy may collect limited non-personal identification information about users' devices for app functionality, performance optimization, and advertising purposes. This may include:

• Device type and model for optimal audio processing
• Operating system version for compatibility
• App version for debugging purposes
• Basic usage statistics (anonymized)
• Advertising identifier for ad personalization (via AdMob)
• General location information for relevant ads (if permitted)

This information cannot be used to identify individual users and is used solely to improve app performance and provide relevant advertisements. All advertising data is handled by Google AdMob according to their privacy policies.

Microphone Access

Achordy requires microphone access to detect the pitch of your musical instruments for tuning purposes. Important details about microphone usage:

• All audio processing happens locally on your device
• No audio data is recorded, stored, or transmitted
• Microphone data is used only for real-time pitch detection
• Audio data is processed and immediately discarded
• No audio files or recordings are created

Location Data

Achordy does not collect, use, or share your location data. The app does not request location permissions and operates without any need for location information.

How We Use Collected Information

Achordy uses the limited information we collect for the following purposes:

• App Functionality: Device and system information to ensure optimal audio processing and compatibility
• Performance Improvement: Usage statistics to identify and fix bugs, improve features
• Advertising: Anonymous data shared with AdMob to display relevant advertisements
• User Experience: Storing preferences locally to enhance your experience

We do not use collected information for any purposes beyond those listed above, and we never sell or rent your information to third parties.

Data Storage

Achordy may store the following information locally on your device to enhance your user experience:

• Tuning preferences and custom tuning configurations
• Metronome tempo settings
• App settings and user interface preferences
• Game progress and high scores

All stored data remains on your device and is never transmitted to external servers or shared with third parties.

Advertising Services

Achordy uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may collect and use anonymous data about your interests to customize content and advertising. Important details:

• AdMob collects anonymous data about your device and usage patterns
• Interest and location data may be linked to your device, but not to your identity
• This data is used to show relevant advertisements
• You can opt out of personalized ads through your device settings

How to opt out: You can control ad personalization through your device's advertising settings (iOS: Settings > Privacy > Apple Advertising; Android: Settings > Google > Ads).

Other Third-Party Services

Apart from Google AdMob for advertising, Achordy operates independently without connecting to other external servers or third-party services. We do not use:

• Analytics services (other than basic AdMob analytics)
• Social media integrations
• Cloud storage services
• User tracking services beyond advertising

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect any information processed by Achordy:

• All data processing occurs locally on your device
• No data transmission means no risk of interception
• Local storage uses standard iOS/Android security practices
• App code is regularly updated for security improvements

Since no personal data is collected or transmitted, the risk of data breaches is virtually eliminated.

Children's Privacy

Achordy is safe for users of all ages, including children under 13. Since we don't collect any personal information whatsoever, there are no special privacy concerns for children using the app. Parents can be confident that their children's privacy is fully protected while using Achordy.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page and will take effect immediately upon posting. We encourage users to review this policy periodically. Material changes will be prominently displayed in the app or on our website.

Your Rights

Since Achordy does not collect personal data, traditional data protection rights (such as data access, correction, or deletion requests) are not applicable. However, you maintain complete control over any local data by managing your device's app settings or uninstalling the app.
