Privacy policy

Effective: 27 September 2026 · Last updated: 3 October 2026

This policy covers the Musical Ear: Play and Train mobile app and this support website. The developer responsible for the app is Neha Negi. For privacy questions, contact pahadididirestaurant@gmail.com.

Your music practice

You do not need an account. Chord audio is included in the app, and training works offline. The app does not record you or request access to your microphone, contacts, photos or precise location.

Scores, accuracy by chord quality, unlocked levels, the time of the last interstitial ad and your selected age band are stored locally on your device. The age screen asks for a broad age group, not a date of birth, and includes a prefer-not-to-say option. We do not receive your age-band selection. We do not operate a backend or cloud-sync service for this information, and do not receive your individual training history. Your operating system may include app data in device backups according to your device settings.

Advertising and associated data

The app integrates Google AdMob and Google's User Messaging Platform to support advertising and privacy choices. Development and test builds use Google's test ad units. Test ads and consent services can still connect to Google and process technical data.

When these services run, Google and its advertising partners may process your IP address (which can indicate approximate location), device and app identifiers, app and SDK information, ad requests and interactions, diagnostic and performance information, and consent signals. These services use data to deliver and measure ads, prevent fraud, maintain security and operate their services, subject to applicable choices and platform restrictions. We may receive aggregate advertising reports through AdMob.

Our ad requests are configured as non-personalized. This does not mean that no data is processed: non-personalized advertising can still use identifiers or local storage for delivery, frequency control, reporting and fraud prevention. The app does not request Apple's App Tracking Transparency permission or itself access IDFA, and blocks Android's advertising-ID permission. Other SDK or app-scoped identifiers may still be used.

We have not added a separate analytics service for tracking your training. The advertising SDK does process advertising-related analytics and diagnostics. Learn more in Google's Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from apps and sites that use its services.

Your choices

Where required, Google privacy messages provide choices before eligible ads are requested. Use Ad privacy on the app's Home screen to open or revisit available choices. Available options depend on your region, age-treatment configuration and Google's message configuration. A consent form may not be available when under-age-of-consent treatment applies. If required consent cannot be obtained or ads cannot load, you can continue practising. You can also use your device's privacy settings to manage available advertising permissions.

We use consent where required for advertising storage or processing. Other processing may be necessary to provide a service you request, respond to support requests, protect the service or meet legal obligations, as applicable. Google and other providers describe their own processing and legal bases in their policies.

General audience and children

Musical Ear: Play and Train is a music education app for a mixed audience, including children under 13, teenagers and adults. All age groups have access to the same training. A neutral age-band choice is saved on the device; it does not create an account or a child profile.

In the all-ages release, we apply child-directed advertising treatment and under-age-of-consent signaling to all users, including users who prefer not to state an age. Ad requests are non-personalized, limited to a maximum G content rating and subject to sensitive-category restrictions. The app does not request advertising consent from children to enable personalized advertising. Content filters cannot guarantee that every unsuitable creative will be excluded; contact us if you see an inappropriate ad.

Earlier beta builds did not include the age-band screen. Use the current version for the latest advertising safeguards. We do not receive individual training data or age selections, and we do not knowingly solicit children's personal information through accounts or training submissions. Advertising services may still process the technical information described above under the applicable restrictions. Parents or guardians can contact us with privacy concerns. Avoid including a child's personal information in support messages unless necessary.

Support messages

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever information you choose to include. We use this to respond, investigate problems and handle privacy requests. Do not send sensitive information that is not needed for your request.

Storage, retention and sharing

Local progress remains until app data is cleared or the app is deleted; device backups can retain or restore it. Advertising and consent data is retained by the relevant providers under their policies. Support correspondence is retained only as needed to resolve requests, maintain relevant records and meet legal obligations.

We do not sell your individual training history. Advertising providers process the information described above; applicable laws may define certain advertising disclosures as selling or sharing personal information. Where applicable, use the available privacy choices to exercise advertising opt-outs. We may disclose support information when required by law or necessary to protect rights and security.

Google, GitHub and email providers may process information in countries other than yours. Their policies explain their safeguards for international transfers. We take reasonable care to protect information, but no storage or transmission method is completely secure.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or obtain a copy of personal information, restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent, or opt out of certain advertising uses. You may also complain to your local privacy authority. Contact us to make a request or appeal a response. We may need enough information to verify and address your request. We cannot remotely access or recover your locally stored training scores; manage those on your device. For information held independently by Google, its privacy tools and policy explain further options.

This website

This static support website is hosted on GitHub Pages. We have not added advertising, tracking scripts, analytics or contact forms to it. GitHub may collect technical information, including visitor IP addresses, for security and service operation. See the GitHub General Privacy Statement. Visiting links to other sites is governed by those sites' policies.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy as the app or its services change. The date above identifies the latest version. Where required, significant changes will be brought to your attention in the app or through an appropriate notice.
