Information we collect

• Information you send us: if you email us, we receive your email address and message, and use them only to reply and improve the site.

Information stored only on your device

Some features save data in your browser's local storage, such as 30-Day Plan checkboxes, challenge ticks and practice tracker minutes. This data stays on your device, is never sent to us, and can be deleted by clearing your browser data.

The online tuner uses your microphone only while you run it. Audio is processed locally in your browser and is never recorded, stored or transmitted.
