Daily Fret Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 20, 2026

Controller: Vahit İlker Sarıca

This Privacy Policy explains how Daily Fret ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, and shares personal information when you use the Daily Fret iOS and Android applications or contact us about it. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the app. Questions may be sent to ilker897@gmail.com.

1. Information We Collect

Anonymous account and practice data. Firebase Authentication creates an anonymous account and assigns a user ID when the app initializes or you begin using it. Daily Fret stores your guitar type, playing experience, practice focus, preferred genre, tuning preset, fret count, default tempo, selected and bookmarked exercises, XP, exercise completions, timestamps, tempo, accuracy and practice duration, starter-plan progress, streaks, and daily goals. This information is stored locally and saved to Cloud Firestore. The Android closed-test version saves practice data to the cloud but does not offer cross-device sign-in or cloud restore. An anonymous ID may still be personal information under applicable law.

Analytics and technical information. The iOS app uses Amplitude Analytics. It receives limited app events, including app opens, Get Started taps, anonymous sign-in success or failure, and related error codes. Amplitude may also receive the Firebase user ID when available, a device ID, app and operating-system versions, device model, carrier when available, event timestamps, IP address, and coarse location inferred from IP address. The Android 1.0.0 closed-test build disables Amplitude and Google Analytics for Firebase for all users. It does not send analytics events or collect advertising IDs and does not infer location for analytics. Daily Fret does not request GPS location. On both platforms, Firebase may process IP address, user-agent, and operational or security data to authenticate users and prevent abuse.

Microphone. With your device permission, Daily Fret uses microphone input for the tuner and real-time note or chord detection. Audio is processed temporarily on your device. We do not record, store, or upload microphone audio.

Notifications. If permitted, Daily Fret schedules local practice reminders on your device. The current version does not use remote push notifications for marketing.

Communications. If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you include. The app otherwise does not ask for a name, email, phone number, password, social login, payment-card details, contacts, photos, camera access, precise location, or health records.

2. How We Use Information

  • Provide the app, create the anonymous account, and store and sync practice progress.
  • Personalize your practice plan, exercises, goals, streaks, and settings.
  • Analyze microphone input locally to provide tuner and exercise feedback.
  • Schedule reminders you have permitted through your device settings.
  • Understand product use through analytics in the iOS app; maintain reliability, prevent abuse, and secure the Services on both platforms.
  • Respond to support and privacy requests and comply with law or protect legal rights.

Daily Fret does not use personal information for decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. Practice recommendations affect only your in-app experience.

3. Legal Bases

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we process information to perform our agreement with you and provide requested features; with your consent for microphone and notification permissions; for our legitimate interests in improving, securing, and supporting the app; and where necessary to comply with law or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. You may withdraw device permissions in iOS or Android Settings.

4. How We Share Information

We may share information with the following recipients only for the purposes described:

  • Google LLC (Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore): anonymous user ID, cloud practice data, IP address, and technical or security information for authentication, storage, and sync. See Firebase Privacy & Security.
  • Amplitude, Inc. (iOS only): app events, user and device identifiers, and technical information for product analytics and troubleshooting. See the Amplitude Privacy Notice.
  • Platform providers: Apple independently processes information related to App Store distribution and iOS services. Google independently processes information related to Google Play distribution and Android services. Their respective privacy policies apply.
  • Legal, safety, and business purposes: professional advisers, authorities, or a successor to the app when reasonably necessary, legally required, or subject to appropriate protections.

We do not sell personal information, share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, or use third-party advertising SDKs in the current app.

5. Retention and Deletion

Local app data remains until you reset it, delete the app, or the operating system removes it. Firebase account and practice data are generally kept while needed to provide cloud sync. iOS analytics is retained according to our Amplitude settings and for as long as reasonably necessary for product analysis, security, and recordkeeping. Limited backup or log copies may remain temporarily after deletion.

To delete Daily Fret data, open Settings > Data > Reset My Data. The app will attempt to delete the current Firestore record and anonymous Firebase account, then clear local app data. For iOS, this does not necessarily delete historical analytics already received by Amplitude; email us to request analytics deletion. The Android closed-test build does not send analytics. Simply uninstalling the app may leave the anonymous Firebase account and cloud record in place.

6. Your Choices and Rights

You can revoke microphone or notification permission in iOS or Android Settings. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to know whether we process your data; access, correct, delete, restrict, or receive a portable copy of it; object to certain processing; withdraw consent; appeal a decision; and complain to a regulator. These include rights that may apply under the GDPR, UK GDPR, Türkiye's Law No. 6698 (KVKK), and U.S. state privacy laws. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.

Send requests to ilker897@gmail.com. We may ask for information needed to verify the request. Because accounts are anonymous, using Reset My Data while you still have access to the app is normally the most reliable way to delete the correct cloud record. Rights may be limited where an exception applies.

7. International Transfers and Security

We are based in Türkiye. Google, and Amplitude for iOS analytics, may process information in other countries, including the United States. Where required, we rely on recognized transfer safeguards and contractual protections.

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards. Firebase uses encrypted connections, and Cloud Firestore rules restrict each signed-in anonymous account to its own user record. Local data is kept within the iOS or Android app sandbox. No electronic system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children

Daily Fret for iOS and Android is intended for ages 13 and older and is not directed to children under 13. The Android closed-test build uses an anonymous Firebase account and practice data to provide and secure the practice features described above. Optional analytics, advertising-ID collection, advertising, and purchases are disabled in this Android build. Microphone audio stays on the device. Users or their parents or guardians can use Settings > Data > Reset My Data to delete the anonymous account and saved practice data, or contact ilker897@gmail.com to request access or deletion. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information through the app, contact us so we can investigate and delete it as appropriate. Where applicable law requires parental consent or authorization for a minor, it must be obtained before the relevant processing.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy when the app, our providers, or legal requirements change. The revised policy will show a new last-updated date. We may provide an additional notice for material changes.
