Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 2025

1. Introduction

JP Elton ("we," "our," or "us") operates ChordMaster AI (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application. Please read this privacy policy carefully. By using the App, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

Account Information

  • Email address (for account creation and authentication)
  • Name (optional, if provided)
  • Profile preferences

Audio Data

  • Audio recordings you create within the app for chord analysis
  • Audio files you upload for analysis
  • Note: Audio is processed for analysis and is not stored permanently on our servers

Usage Data

  • App usage patterns and feature interactions
  • Songs saved to your library (titles and chord data)
  • Device information (device type, operating system)

Purchase Information

  • Subscription status and purchase history
  • Note: Payment processing is handled entirely by Apple; we do not receive or store your payment card details

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide and maintain the App's functionality

  • Manage your account and subscription
  • Improve our AI algorithms and app features
  • Send important service updates and notifications

4. Audio Data Processing

When you record or upload audio for analysis, the audio is sent to our servers for processing. Our AI analyzes the audio to detect chords, key, tempo, and song structure. After analysis is complete, the audio file is deleted from our servers. We retain only the analysis results (chord progressions, key, tempo data) which you can save to your library.

5. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely using industry-standard encryption and security measures. We use Firebase for authentication and data storage, which provides enterprise-grade security. While we implement safeguards to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

6. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

  • Firebase (Google): Authentication, database, and analytics
  • Apple App Store: App distribution and payment processing

These services have their own privacy policies governing their use of your data.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share information only in the following circumstances:

  • With service providers who assist in operating our App (under strict confidentiality)
  • To comply with legal obligations or valid legal requests
  • To protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property
  • In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (with notice to users)

8. Your Rights

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Correction: Request correction of inaccurate personal data
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data

If you are in the European Economic Area, you have rights under the GDPR including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection.

ChordMaster AI is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected such information, we will delete it promptly.
