Fretspire Privacy Policy
Effective: November 2, 2026
This policy covers the Fretspire apps for iPhone, iPad, Android, macOS, Windows and Linux.
The short version
Fretspire does not collect, store, sell or share any personal data. It has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking.
What the app does with your files
- Files you open (tablature and MIDI files) are read on your device and stay on your device.
- Scores you save are written only where you choose (for example, the Files app or a folder on your computer).
- Fretspire keeps an automatic recovery copy of the open score on your device, so unsaved work survives a crash. It never leaves the device.
- Your settings (colour theme, view options, sound choices) are stored on your device only.
Network
Fretspire works offline and does not send anything to us or to third parties. The app connects to the internet only when you tap a link that opens a web page in your browser; that page is then governed by its own website's policy.
Desktop app only: guitar input, MIDI keyboard and diagnostic log
- The desktop app can record tablature from a guitar plugged into an audio interface and from a MIDI keyboard. The sound and the MIDI notes are analysed on your computer while you record and are never sent anywhere. Nothing is recorded until you start a take, and the operating system asks for your permission before the app may use an audio input.
- To help find bugs, the desktop app writes a diagnostic log on your computer, including a copy of the guitar sound heard while recording. It stays in the log folder on your computer and is never uploaded. You can send it to us yourself by e-mail when reporting a problem, and delete it at any time.
Children
Fretspire collects no data from anyone, including children under 13.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with a new effective date.
