Privacy Policy
Effective 15 September 2026
This policy explains what the Learn Fret app (“the app”) and this website do with your information. Learn Fret is made by Brylk Creations (“we”, “us”). The short version: we don't collect any personal data.
- No account — you never sign up or log in.
- No recordings — microphone audio is analysed on your phone in real time and immediately discarded.
- No internet access — the app doesn't request internet permission, so it can't send data anywhere.
- No ads, analytics or tracking — there are no third-party SDKs that collect data.
- Local only — your settings and practice scores are saved on your device and nowhere else.
1. Microphone
The app asks for microphone permission so it can hear your instrument. It uses the microphone only while one of these screens is open: Tuner, Note Finder, Chord Detector, Fret Trainer and Chord Challenge.
- Audio is processed in memory, a fraction of a second at a time, to work out which note or chord you're playing.
- Audio is never recorded, stored or transmitted, and we never have access to it.
- Listening stops when you leave those screens or the app goes to the background.
- You can refuse or remove the permission at any time in your phone's settings. The chord library, metronome, scales, strum pad and ear-training game still work without it.
2. What the app stores on your device
To remember your preferences and progress, the app saves a small amount of information in its private storage on your phone:
| Information | Why | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Settings | Instrument and tuning, reference pitch (A4), in-tune range, microphone sensitivity, sharps or flats, left-handed fretboard, vibration, and metronome tempo, time signature, subdivision and sound. | On your device only |
| Practice progress | The level you chose for each game and the chord library, and your best scores. | On your device only |
This information isn't linked to your identity and is never sent to us. Uninstalling the app, or clearing its data in Android settings, deletes it permanently.
If you've turned on Android's own backup feature, Android may include this app data in your device backup, which is stored in your Google account under Google's control. We can't see those backups.
3. What we don't collect
The app does not collect, and we never receive, any of the following: your name, email or contacts; location; photos or files; device identifiers or the advertising ID; audio recordings; usage analytics; or crash logs.
4. Permissions
- Microphone — to hear your instrument, as described above. This is the only permission the app requests.
5. Google Play
When you download the app from Google Play, Google processes information such as your account and device details under the Google Privacy Policy. Google may give us anonymous, aggregated statistics like install counts. If you've chosen to share usage and diagnostics data with app developers in your Android settings, Google may also show us anonymous crash reports. None of this identifies you personally.
6. Children
Learn Fret is suitable for all ages. Because the app collects no personal data from anyone, it collects none from children.
7. This website
learnfret.krishtasood.in doesn't use cookies, analytics or advertising. It's hosted by Netlify, which processes standard technical information such as IP addresses and browser type to deliver the site and keep it secure, as described in Netlify's privacy policy. If you email us, we use your email address only to reply.
8. Your rights
Because we don't hold any personal data about you, there's nothing for us to access, correct or delete. Your in-app data is fully under your control on your own device. If you have any questions or requests, contact us and we'll help.
9. Changes to this policy
If the app ever starts handling data differently, we'll update this page and the effective date above before the change takes effect, and describe the change in the app's release notes.
