# Pedalboard — Privacy Policy > Privacy policy for the Pedalboard guitar and bass effects app: audio is never recorded; optional account data explained. - Página canónica: https://www.stellarflavor.com/pedalboard-privacy-policy - Sitio: Stellar Flavor (https://www.stellarflavor.com/) - Contacto: sun@stellarflavor.com --- **Last updated:** November 3, 2026 This Privacy Policy describes how Pedalboard ("the App", "we", "us", or "our"), developed by Stellar Flavor, collects, uses, and protects information when you use the App on iOS and Android. #### The short version Pedalboard works without an account. The effects and the tuner run on your device in real time, and your audio is never recorded, stored or sent anywhere. An account is optional and only needed to save your pedalboards online. The App has no ads, no analytics and no third-party tracking. #### Information We Collect - **Microphone and audio**: the App uses your device's audio input so you can play through the effects and use the tuner. Audio is processed on your device in real time. It is never recorded, stored, or sent elsewhere. - **Account information (optional)**: if you create an account, we store your email address, an optional display name, and the pedalboards you save to your account so they can sync. If you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive the name and email address that service shares with us (Apple may give you a private relay address instead of your real email). If you sign up with email and password, your password is handled by our authentication provider and is never visible to us. - **Settings on your device**: audio levels, haptics preferences and your Premium status are kept on your device. - **Purchase information**: Pedalboard Premium is a one-time purchase processed by Apple or Google. We never receive your payment details. The App checks your purchase status with the store. - **Support communications**: your email address and the content of any message you send us. We do not collect your location, contacts or photos, and we do not use advertising identifiers. #### How We Use Your Information - Provide and maintain the App - Create and manage your account and your saved pedalboards, if you use them - Unlock Pedalboard Premium and restore your purchase - Respond to support requests - Comply with legal obligations We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising. #### Sharing of Information Information may be shared with: - **Google Firebase** (Authentication and Cloud Firestore), which hosts accounts and saved pedalboards on our behalf under appropriate data protection terms. Access to each account's data is restricted to that account. - **Apple and Google**, to process purchases and, if you use it, sign-in with their services, under their own privacy policies. - **Legal authorities**, when required by law. - **Successors**, in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. #### Data Retention and Deletion We keep your account and saved pedalboards for as long as your account is active. You can delete your account at any time from the App: open **My Account**, tap **Delete account** and confirm with your password. This deletes your profile and every pedalboard saved to your account. See our [account deletion instructions](/pedalboard-delete-account), which also explain how to ask us by email. Data stored on your device is removed when you uninstall the App. #### Security We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. #### Your Rights Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below. #### Children's Privacy The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it. #### Third-Party Services The App relies on third-party services, including Google Firebase, Apple and Google, which have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. #### Changes to This Privacy Policy We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. #### Contact Us If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, contact us at: **Email:** [sun@stellarflavor.com](mailto:sun@stellarflavor.com)
