Privacy policy

What we store if you never sign up

Basic usage information is recorded so we can see which songs are being used and keep the library working well. This is kept in an aggregated, anonymous form and is not linked to your name or email.

Where technical identifiers are needed to tell one visit from another, they are stored in a form that cannot be traced back to an individual. Clearing your browser storage resets them.

What we store if you create an account

• Your email address — used to identify the account and sign you in.
• A display name — shown next to any comment you post.
• Your password, hashed. Passwords are stored only as a hash. We cannot read your password, and neither can anyone who obtains the database.
• Your favourites and playlist — the songs you have saved.
• Your ratings and comments — the star ratings you give and any comments you post, which are public alongside your display name.

Browser storage

SenseChord does not use tracking cookies and carries no third-party advertising or analytics scripts. A small amount of information is kept in your browser so the site works as expected — for example, to keep you signed in between visits.

Signing out clears what relates to your account. Clearing site data in your browser removes everything SenseChord has stored there.

What we do not do

• We do not sell or rent your data.
• We do not share it with advertisers, data brokers or analytics companies.
• We do not build advertising profiles or track you across other sites.
• We do not email you marketing you did not ask for. Account emails are limited to things you initiate, such as signing in.

Deleting your data

You can remove favourites, playlist entries and comments yourself at any time from your profile. To delete the account and everything attached to it, ask and we will remove it — the account record, saved songs, ratings and comments. Anonymous usage records cannot be traced back to you and so cannot be deleted on request.

Children

SenseChord is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

If what we collect changes, this page changes with it. Material changes to how existing data is used will be announced on the site rather than made quietly.
