Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

The short version

ChordFocus does not collect, store, or transmit your personal data. Your songs, setlists, and settings stay on your device. We don't track you, we don't serve ads, and we don't sell data — because we don't have any.

What data stays on your device

All song data, setlists, BPM settings, and app preferences are stored in your browser's local storage. This data never leaves your device. If you clear your browser data, this information is deleted.

What happens when you purchase Pro

If you purchase a ChordFocus Pro subscription ($14.99/year), the payment is processed by Stripe. We receive your email address from Stripe to deliver your licence key. We store your email and licence key in a secure database (Supabase) for the sole purpose of licence validation.

We do not use your email for marketing unless you explicitly opt in. We will only email you to deliver your licence key and for essential account communications.

Cloud sync (Pro)

Pro users' song libraries and setlists are automatically backed up to our secure server (Supabase). This allows you to restore your library on a new device by entering your Pro licence code. Your song data is stored securely and is only accessible with your unique licence code. We do not read, analyse, or share your synced content.

Pro trial

The 7-day Pro trial does not require an email address or payment information. Trial status is stored locally on your device using a timestamp in your browser's local storage.

Band sharing

When you use the Share feature, the selected song or setlist is temporarily uploaded to our server so we can generate a short share link and QR code for your bandmates.

Share links are deliberately limited. They require an active Pro licence to create, they are recorded against that licence, they expire automatically after 7 days, and they can only be redeemed a small number of times. Expired shares are deleted. You can revoke a share early at any time. Share links are never published, listed or made searchable.

We do not read, analyse or use shared content. We record which licence created a share so we can respond to copyright notices and enforce our repeat infringer policy — see Copyright & Takedown.

You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to share any content you distribute via this feature. See our Terms of Service.

Analytics and tracking

ChordFocus does not use any analytics, tracking pixels, cookies, or third-party scripts. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any similar service.

Third-party services

The only third-party services involved are:

None of these services have access to your song data, setlists, or app usage.

Children's privacy

ChordFocus does not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children under 13. Since we collect no personal data during normal app usage, there is nothing to collect.

Data deletion

To delete all app data, use "Reset App Data" in the app menu. This clears all songs, setlists, and settings from your device. To request deletion of your licence key and email from our database, contact us.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of ChordFocus after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
