Piano Tracker Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 1, 2025

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Piano Tracker ("we", "us", "our", "the application") collects, uses, and safeguards information when you use our mobile and desktop application. We value your privacy and are committed to protecting it.

Information Collection and Use

Locally Stored Data

All data generated while using Piano Tracker is stored exclusively locally on your device. This includes:

  • Piano practice statistics
  • Number of notes played
  • Duration of practice sessions
  • Practice history
  • Application settings and user preferences
  • MIDI connection data

We do not collect, store, or transmit this data to our servers or any third-party servers.

Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR and Similar Regulations)

The data processing in Piano Tracker occurs exclusively on the user's device. No personal data is transmitted to external servers. Therefore, the legal basis for processing is:

  • Contractual necessity: Processing is necessary for the performance of our contract with you (providing the functionality of the Piano Tracker application)
  • Legitimate interests: We have a legitimate interest in providing you with a functional application that tracks your piano practice

Data Export and Import

The application offers data export and import features that allow you to:

  • Create backups of your practice data in CSV format
  • Import previously exported data

These operations are initiated solely by the user and performed locally on the device. We have no access to exported data unless you choose to share it. This functionality also satisfies your right to data portability under various privacy regulations.

Error Reporting

The application may send anonymous error reports to Apple through standard iOS/macOS error reporting mechanisms. These reports may include:

  • Technical information about the device (model, operating system version)
  • Application state data at the time of the error
  • Error logs

These reports do not contain any personal data or information that could identify the user. They are used exclusively for diagnosing and fixing technical issues.

MIDI Connections

Piano Tracker connects to MIDI instruments (digital pianos) using standard MIDI protocols of the iOS/macOS system. This communication happens exclusively on the user's device and does not involve transmission of data over the Internet.

Data Sharing

We do not share any user data with third parties because:

  1. All data is stored exclusively locally on the user's device
  2. The application does not collect any personal data
  3. We do not use external analytics tools or tracking services

Data Security

Since all data is stored locally on the user's device, the security of this data depends on the safeguards of the device itself. We recommend:

  • Regularly updating your device's operating system
  • Using device security features (passcode, Face ID, Touch ID)
  • Regularly backing up your data using the export function

User Rights

Under various privacy regulations including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Brazil's Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD), Japan's Act on Protection of Personal Information (APPI), Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), Israel's Privacy Protection Law, and others, you have certain rights regarding your personal data.

However, since Piano Tracker processes data exclusively on your device and does not transmit it to external servers, most of these rights are automatically fulfilled:

  • Right to access: You have full access to all data through the application interface
  • Right to rectification: You can edit practice entries through the application interface
  • Right to erasure: Uninstalling the application will permanently delete all associated data from your device
  • Right to data portability: You can export all your data in CSV format using the built-in export feature
  • Right to object to processing: No data is processed beyond your device
  • Right to restriction of processing: No data is processed beyond your device

Data Retention

All data is stored on your device until you choose to delete it or uninstall the application. We do not have access to this data and therefore do not retain it on our servers.

International Data Transfers

As all data remains on your device, there are no international data transfers performed by Piano Tracker.
