Last updated: March 5, 2026
Overview
FretsNotes is a music education app that helps guitar players learn notes on the fretboard. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data.
Information We Collect
Account Information
When you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive your name and email address from the authentication provider. We use this to create and identify your account.
Learning Progress
We store your course progress, practice statistics, and exercise results so you can track your learning and pick up where you left off across devices.
Microphone Access
The app requests microphone permission for the "Play Note" exercise mode, which listens to your guitar to detect which note you are playing. Audio is processed entirely on your device in real time. We do not record, store, or transmit any audio data.
Feedback
If you submit feedback through the app, we collect the text you enter along with your device model and app version to help us improve the app.
Device Information
We collect a stable, randomly generated device identifier for authentication purposes. We also collect your device model and app version when you submit feedback.
How We Use Your Information
- To provide and maintain the app and your account
- To sync your learning progress across devices
- To respond to feedback you submit
- To improve the app experience
Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties. Your data is used solely to provide the FretsNotes service.
Data Storage and Security
Your authentication credentials are stored securely on your device using encrypted storage. Server-side data is stored in a secure database with appropriate access controls.
Data Deletion
You can delete your account and all associated data from within the app's Settings screen. This permanently removes your account, progress, and all personal information from our servers.
