Privacy Policy for Accord

Accord (“Accord,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how the Accord app handles information when you use the app.

1. Information We Collect

Accord is designed to work primarily on your device. We do not require you to create an account to use the app.

Depending on how you use the app, the app may access or process the following:

Information stored on your device

Accord may store app data locally on your device, including:

• saved chords
• saved scales
• collections you create
• app settings and preferences
• tutorial and review prompt state
• purchase status needed to unlock app features

This information is stored locally so the app can function properly and remember your preferences.

Microphone access

Accord may request access to your microphone for features such as:

• guitar tuning
• voice-related controls or speech features, if enabled

Microphone access is only used to support those features.

Speech recognition

If you use voice control or speech-related features, Accord may request access to speech recognition.

Speech recognition may be processed using Apple’s speech services, subject to Apple’s own terms and privacy practices.

Purchase information

If you purchase premium features, the transaction is processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive your full payment information.

2. How We Use Information

Accord uses information only to operate app features, including to:

• provide tuner and voice-related functionality
• save your chords, scales, and collections
• remember your settings and preferences
• unlock premium features you purchased
• improve the usability of the app over time

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information.

We do not share your data with third parties for advertising purposes.

Some features rely on Apple services, including:

• App Store purchases
• speech recognition, if used
• system-level app functionality provided by iOS

Those services are governed by Apple’s own privacy practices.

4. Data Storage

Most Accord data is stored locally on your device.

If you delete the app, locally stored data may be deleted from your device unless iOS preserves some app data through backup or restore behavior.

5. Third-Party Services

Accord may rely on Apple-provided frameworks and services to support:

• in-app purchases
• speech recognition
• standard iOS functionality

If you add analytics, crash reporting, ads, or external feedback tools later, this Privacy Policy should be updated to reflect that.

6. Children’s Privacy

Accord is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children.

If you believe personal information from a child has been provided through the app, please contact us so we can address the issue.

7. Your Choices

You can control certain permissions through your device settings, including:

• microphone access
• speech recognition access

If you disable these permissions, some features of Accord may not function correctly.

8. International Users

If you use Accord outside your home country, your use of Apple-provided services may involve processing under Apple’s systems and policies.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date above.
