Account and sign-in
Email address, generated account identifiers, sign-in codes, session tokens, device/platform details, app version, and sign-in timestamps are used to create and secure passwordless accounts.
Privacy Policy
Local audio stays local. Online services have clear boundaries.
This policy explains what GigaChords V1 processes on your device, what information reaches our services, and how to request deletion. Last updated July 12, 2026.
Who we are
GigaChords is a chord-analysis and music-practice application for Windows and Android. Privacy questions and requests can be sent to hello@gigachords.com.
Audio files, recordings, and saved charts
When you select an audio file or start microphone recording, V1 decodes and analyzes that audio on your device. GigaChords does not upload the audio file to run chord analysis. Microphone access starts only when you use live recording or tuner features.
Chord maps, edits, settings, and saved-library data are stored locally on the device unless you explicitly use an online feedback or support action described below.
Information used by online services
Google Play subscriptions
Product and purchase identifiers, purchase tokens, subscription status, verification times, expiry, and grace information are processed to grant, restore, or remove Pro access. Google Play also processes the purchase under its own policy.
Launch notifications
If you submit the website form, we store your email, selected platform and use case, language, page path, country supplied by the hosting edge, user agent, and submission timestamps so we can send the requested launch notice and prevent abuse.
Optional chord feedback
If you explicitly submit feedback, it may include your account email, chord timeline and edits, song title or artist/file tags, duration and technical audio metadata, app/platform details, notes, and hash or fingerprint metadata. The audio file is not included.
Support
We receive the information you choose to send by email, such as app version, device, problem description, and screenshots. Do not send a song file unless we establish a specific private support process with you.
Security and rate limiting
Standard request data and one-way hashed identifiers may be used to stop abuse, diagnose delivery failures, and protect account, signup, and feedback endpoints. Short-lived rate-limit events are normally pruned after 48 hours.
Why we use this information
We use it to provide sign-in and entitlements, verify purchases, send requested launch or account emails, process optional feedback, answer support, secure the service, meet store or legal obligations, and improve GigaChords from submissions users deliberately provide. We do not sell personal information and V1 contains no advertising or third-party app analytics SDK.
Service providers
Cloudflare provides website hosting, serverless processing, database, and private object storage. Brevo provides transactional email delivery. Google provides Play Store distribution, billing, and subscription verification. Each provider processes data under its own terms and privacy policy.
Retention
Account, session, entitlement, and purchase records are retained while needed to operate or secure the account and to meet purchase, fraud-prevention, accounting, or legal obligations. Launch-notification details are retained until the requested notices are completed or you ask us to remove them. Feedback is retained while it is reviewed and used to improve the product, unless deletion is requested and no legal exception applies. Support correspondence is retained only as long as reasonably needed to resolve and document the request.
Your choices and deletion
You can avoid online feedback and launch forms and still use the local Free workflow. You can sign out of the app, cancel a Google Play subscription separately, and request deletion of server-side account or signup data through the account deletion page. Removing the app or clearing its storage removes local data from that device but does not by itself cancel a subscription or delete server-side account records.
Children and changes
GigaChords is a general music tool and is not directed to children under 13. We may update this policy when data flows or legal requirements change; the updated date and policy will be published here before materially different collection is introduced.
