1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how AxeLog ("App," "we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use our guitar practice tracking application. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.

AxeLog is developed by BestDayLabs, an independent developer. By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Key Point: AxeLog is designed as a privacy-first application. All your data is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to external servers. We do not collect, store, or have access to your personal information.

2. Information We Collect

AxeLog is designed to operate entirely on your device. We do not collect any personal information from you. However, the App stores certain data locally on your device to provide its functionality.

2.1 Data Stored Locally on Your Device

Data Type Description Purpose
Practice Sessions Date, duration, session type, notes, ratings Track your practice history and statistics
Song Library Song names, artists, BPM, tuning, difficulty, status, notes Manage songs you're learning
Goals Goal descriptions, target dates, progress Track your long-term practice goals
Recordings Audio and video files of practice sessions Document and review your progress
App Settings Theme preferences, notification settings, app icon choice Personalize your app experience

All of this data is stored using Apple's SwiftData framework and remains on your device. We do not have access to this data.

2.2 Information We Do NOT Collect

  • Personal identification information (name, email, phone number)
  • Location data
  • Device identifiers
  • Usage analytics or behavioral data
  • Advertising identifiers
  • Any data transmitted to external servers

3. Device Permissions

AxeLog may request certain device permissions to enable specific features. These permissions are optional and you can deny them while still using the core functionality of the App.

Microphone

Required only for audio recording of practice sessions. Audio is stored locally on your device and is never uploaded or transmitted.

Camera

Required only for video recording of practice sessions. Video is stored locally on your device and is never uploaded or transmitted.

Notifications

Required only for practice reminder notifications. Notification scheduling is handled locally by iOS and no data is sent externally.

4. Data Storage and Security

4.1 Local Storage

All App data is stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. This data is protected by your device's built-in security features, including:

  • Device passcode/biometric protection
  • iOS data protection and encryption
  • App sandboxing

4.2 No Cloud Sync

AxeLog does not include cloud synchronization features. Your data does not leave your device and is not backed up to our servers (because we don't have servers for this purpose).

4.3 iCloud Backup

If you have iCloud Backup enabled on your device, your App data may be included in your device backup. This is controlled by your iOS settings and Apple's iCloud service, not by AxeLog. Please refer to Apple's Privacy Policy for information about iCloud.

5. Third-Party Services

AxeLog uses minimal third-party services:

5.1 Apple App Store

The App is distributed through the Apple App Store. In-app purchases (Supporter Pack) are processed by Apple. Apple may collect certain information as part of this process. Please refer to Apple's Privacy Policy for details.

5.2 No Analytics or Tracking

AxeLog does not use any analytics services, crash reporting tools, or advertising SDKs. We do not track your usage of the App in any way.

6. Data Sharing

We do not share your data with anyone because:

  • We do not collect your data
  • We do not have access to your data
  • All data remains on your device

Your practice sessions, recordings, song library, and all other App data are yours alone.

7. Children's Privacy

AxeLog does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. Since all data is stored locally on the device and we do not collect any information, there is no risk of us collecting data from children.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to us, please contact us. However, since our App does not collect or transmit any data, this scenario should not occur.

The App is suitable for users of all ages interested in tracking their guitar practice.

8. Data Retention and Deletion

8.1 How Long Data is Stored

Data within the App is stored on your device for as long as you choose to keep it. You have full control over your data.

8.2 Deleting Your Data

You can delete your data at any time through the following methods:

  • Individual items: Delete specific practice sessions, songs, goals, or recordings within the App
  • All App data: Delete the App from your device to remove all associated data
  • Reset within App: Use the App's settings to reset or clear specific data categories

Once deleted, data cannot be recovered as we do not maintain any backups or copies.

9. Your Rights

Because AxeLog stores all data locally on your device and we do not collect any personal information, you inherently have complete control over your data:

  • Access: All your data is accessible within the App on your device
  • Portability: Your recordings can be exported/shared using iOS sharing features
  • Deletion: You can delete any or all data at any time
  • Control: You decide what data to enter and keep

10. International Users

AxeLog is available worldwide through the Apple App Store. Since all data is stored locally on your device and we do not transfer any data to external servers, there are no international data transfer concerns.

The App complies with international privacy regulations including GDPR (European Union) and CCPA (California) by design, as we do not collect, store, or process any personal data.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by:

  • Posting the new Privacy Policy on this page
  • Updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy
  • Providing notice within the App for significant changes

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Your continued use of the App after any modifications indicates your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
