Nightly Build Audio · Effective from the release of Fretscore 1.0

Privacy policy

Fretscore listens to you play so it can check the notes and their timing. Your playing and your practice are yours: Fretscore records nothing, and your progress stays on your iPhone.

What Fretscore collects

Nothing. Fretscore doesn’t collect, store on our servers, share or sell any information about you or how you use it. It has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking and no networking of its own besides Apple’s Game Center, below.

Your playing and your practice

  • The microphone is used only while you practise, play the fretboard trainer or use the tuner. The sound is analysed on your iPhone as it arrives, to hear which notes are played and when, and is never recorded, stored or sent anywhere. iOS asks your permission first, and you can change it at any time in Settings › Privacy & Security › Microphone.
  • Your practice history (what you practised and when, and how it went), your settings and the pieces you import are kept in the app’s own storage on your iPhone, and removed if you delete the app.
  • The daily reminder, if you turn it on, is a notification your iPhone schedules for itself.
  • Nothing leaves your iPhone, except when your device’s own iCloud backup includes the app’s data, and the Game Center scores below.

Game Center

If you’re signed in to Game Center and leave Settings › Game Center on, Fretscore sends Apple’s Game Center your leaderboard scores (minutes practised this week, your quickest fretboard rounds, your sight-reading level and your longest streak) and the badges you earn, to show on its leaderboards and achievements. That is Apple’s service, under Apple’s privacy policy ↗; we never see it. Turn it off in Settings › Game Center, and nothing more is sent.

Purchases

Fretscore is free, with no in-app purchases. If one is ever offered, Apple will handle it entirely: we would never see your name, Apple Account or payment details, and this policy will say so first.

Ratings

Now and then, after a good session, Fretscore may ask Apple to show its standard “rate this app” prompt. Apple decides whether to show it, and any rating or review you leave goes to the App Store, not to us.

Children

Fretscore is suitable for everyone and collects nothing from anyone, children included.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the new version will be published here with its date, and in the app’s release notes.
