Privacy Policy

Your song library is made of files in a folder you choose. chordlist does not upload that library to a developer-operated account, server, or sync service. Optional analytics, explicit website imports, App Store purchases, support emails, and visits to this website are handled as described below.

chordlist is operated by makerer studio. Privacy questions can be sent to support@chordlist.app.

The app reads and writes Markdown files in a folder you select through Apple's Files interface. Those files can contain titles, artists, chord progressions, tags, lyrics, and play information.

chordlist does not automatically upload or sync these files. If you choose a folder managed by iCloud Drive or another file provider, that provider may store or sync the files under its own terms and your device settings.

Files are retained until you edit or delete them, remove them using another file-management app, or change the selected folder. Deleting the app does not necessarily delete files stored outside its app container.

Anonymous analytics are enabled by default and can be disabled at any time in the app's Settings. When enabled, chordlist uses TelemetryDeck to send app interaction events such as viewing the song list, shuffling, transposing, creating, or editing a song.

TelemetryDeck may process an anonymized installation identifier, the event, an hour-level timestamp, and device or app metadata such as device type, operating-system version, app version, and build information. TelemetryDeck states that it does not store IP addresses or personally identifiable information for app analytics.

Learn more in the TelemetryDeck privacy FAQ.

A separate setting lets you choose to contribute chord data. It is off by default and works only while anonymous analytics are also enabled.

When you add or change chords with this option enabled, the song title, artist, chord progression, normalized chord progression, and whether the progression was added or updated may be sent to TelemetryDeck. Lyrics and tags are never included. Turning off anonymous analytics also turns off chord data contribution.

If you ask the app to import a song from a URL, your device requests that page from the selected website and processes the returned content to create a song. The website may receive standard request information such as your IP address and device user-agent under its own privacy policy. The import is initiated only when you provide a URL; makerer studio does not receive the fetched page through a separate import server.

The optional unlimited-song unlock is processed by Apple through StoreKit. Apple handles the App Store account and payment method. The app receives product and transaction information needed to determine whether the unlock is available; makerer studio does not receive your payment-card or bank-account details.

chordlist uses RevenueCat to manage purchases and verify entitlements. RevenueCat processes an anonymous app user identifier it generates, purchase and receipt information from Apple, and device or app metadata such as platform, app version, and country. It does not receive your payment-card or bank-account details, and chordlist does not send it your song library.

Apple's handling of App Store data is covered by the App Store privacy information.

RevenueCat's handling of that data is described in its privacy policy.

Choosing “Send Feedback” opens an email draft. If you send it, the message can include the content you write plus app-version and iOS details included in the draft. Your email provider and ours process that message. Support correspondence is retained only as long as reasonably needed to respond, keep support records, or meet legal obligations.

This website is hosted by Vercel. Like other hosting providers, Vercel may process request and technical information needed to deliver and secure the site.

The production website also uses Vercel Web Analytics for aggregate traffic statistics. Vercel states that Web Analytics does not use third-party cookies, does not associate page views with personal identifiers, and uses a daily-changing hash rather than a persistent cross-site identifier. Data points can include the page visited, referrer, filtered query parameters, approximate location, device type, operating system, browser, and timestamp.

See Vercel's Web Analytics privacy and compliance information.

makerer studio does not sell your song library or personal information. Data is shared only when you initiate an action, enable an optional feature described above, or when a service provider needs it to operate the app, website, purchase, or support channel. Information may also be disclosed when required by law or necessary to protect rights, safety, and service integrity.

• Disable anonymous analytics in the app's Settings.
• Leave optional chord-data contribution disabled or turn it off at any time.
• Choose, move, edit, export, or delete your song files using compatible file-management tools.
• Contact us to ask about support correspondence or other information you provided directly.

Depending on where you live, privacy law may give you additional access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or complaint rights. Send requests to support@chordlist.app.

This policy may be updated when the app, website, or service providers change. Material changes will be reflected here with a new “Last updated” date.
