Music Practice Journal
PRIVACY POLICY

Your practice is yours.

EFFECTIVETODO: effective date
THE SHORT VERSION
Your sessions, songs, notes, and takes are stored only on your iPhone.
There's no account, no ads, and no analytics tracking.
A song you upload for Play Along is sent to our server so it can be split into stems.

Who we are

Music Practice Journal is made by TODO: legal name. If you have a question about this policy, email support@musicpracticejournal.net.

Data that stays on your phone

Everything you put into your journal is saved on your iPhone and never sent to us: practice sessions and their notes and tags, your songs and their Status, your Weekly Goal and streak, metronome settings, and the audio takes you record. Deleting the app deletes this data.

Songs you upload for Play Along

When you upload audio to split into stems, the file is sent to our server (hosted on Amazon Web Services), processed, and the resulting stems are downloaded to your phone. We don't listen to your uploads or use them for anything other than separating them for you.

We keep uploaded audio and stems on the server for TODO: retention period, then delete them.

App verification

To stop abuse of the upload server, the app uses Firebase App Check by Google. It confirms that upload requests come from the genuine app on a real device. It does not track you or collect your journal data. See Google's Firebase privacy information.

Apple Music

If you choose to import songs from Apple Music, the app reads song titles and artists from your library to add them to Songs. It doesn't read your listening history and doesn't send any of this to us.

Microphone and notifications

The app asks for microphone access only to record takes, and those recordings stay on your phone. If you turn on practice reminders, they're scheduled on your phone at the time you pick.

Purchases

Subscriptions are processed by Apple. We never see your name, card number, or Apple ID, only whether your subscription is active.

Children

The app doesn't knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we'll update it here and change the effective date above.
