Privacy Policy – FretShed

FretShed ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices when you use the FretShed app on iOS and macOS.

The data controller for the purposes of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) is Decibel Technologies Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 14901837), with its registered office at 128 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX, United Kingdom.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only what is necessary to operate the app and improve the experience.

Subscription & purchase information. When you subscribe to FretShed Pro, Apple processes your payment. We use RevenueCat to manage subscription status. RevenueCat receives a randomised device identifier and your subscription entitlement. It does not receive your name, email, or payment details.
Usage analytics. We use Mixpanel to collect anonymous usage events (e.g. which features are used, how often solos are generated). This data is aggregated and is not linked to your identity.
Device information. Analytics tools may collect standard device information such as device model, operating system version, and app version. This is used solely to understand how the app performs across different devices.

FretShed does not require you to create an account. We do not collect your name, email address, or any personally identifiable information directly.

2. How We Use Your Information

To verify and manage your FretShed Pro subscription
To understand how the app is used and improve its features
To diagnose crashes and technical issues

We do not sell your information to third parties. We do not use your information for advertising purposes.

3. Generated Content

When you generate a solo, a request containing your chosen parameters (genre, key, tempo, speed) is sent to our backend server for processing. No personally identifiable information is included in this request. Generated audio is returned to your device and stored locally. We do not retain your generated audio on our servers.

5. Data Retention
