Privacy Policy

Welcome to Guitar Tool Hub ("we," "our," or "the Site"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we handle your information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your information.

2.1 Information You Provide

• Tool Inputs: The chord diagrams, fingering patterns, and any other data you enter into our tools are processed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. This data:
  • Never leaves your device
  • Is not transmitted to our servers
  • Is not stored in any database
  • Disappears when you close your browser or clear the input field
  • May be cached temporarily in your browser for convenience (you control this)

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

• Analytics Data: We use two privacy-friendly analytics tools to understand how users interact with our tools:
  • Vercel Analytics — collects page views, device type, browser, geographic location (country/region only), referral sources, and performance metrics
  • Umami Analytics — a cookieless, privacy-focused analytics tool that collects page views, referral sources, device type, browser, and geographic location (country/region only). No personal data is collected, and no cookies are used.

Important: We do not store your chord diagrams, fingering patterns, or any creative content. Your musical content remains private and exists only in your browser's cache, which you control.

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

• Service Operation: To provide and maintain our guitar tools and functionality
• Improvement: To analyze usage patterns and improve the site's features and performance
• Technical Issues: To diagnose and fix technical problems

We do not use your data for advertising purposes or share it with advertising networks.

• Local Processing: All tool functionality happens in your browser. Your inputs and diagrams are not transmitted to or stored on our servers.
• Third-Party Services:
  • Vercel: Hosts our application and processes analytics data according to their privacy policy
  • Umami: Provides cookieless, privacy-friendly analytics. No personal data is stored or shared. See Umami's privacy policy for details.

We use minimal cookies and tracking technologies:

• Vercel Analytics: Uses privacy-friendly analytics that do not track individual users across websites and do not use cookies for tracking purposes
• Umami Analytics: Cookieless analytics that collect no personal data and do not track individual users across websites
• Essential Cookies: May be used to maintain basic functionality of the application and remember your preferences
• Browser Cache: Your browser may temporarily cache your chord diagrams and inputs for your convenience — this is controlled by you and can be cleared at any time

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information only in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: With Vercel and Umami as necessary to operate and analyze the service
• Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect our rights and safety

You have the following rights:

• Opt-Out: Use browser settings to block cookies or use ad blockers to prevent analytics tracking
• Browser Privacy: Your chord diagrams and inputs remain in your browser and can be cleared by closing the browser or clearing your browser data
• Data Control: You maintain complete control over any data stored in your browser

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at alterego.011214@gmail.com so we can address it.

We implement the following security measures to protect your information:

• Minimal Data Collection: We collect only what's necessary to operate the service
• Local Processing: Your tool inputs never leave your device
• No Sensitive Storage: We don't store your creative content
