Privacy Policy

Effective date: March 8, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Music Maps collects, uses, and shares information when you use the website, course content, and interactive music-learning tools.

Information we collect

Information you provide directly

Account information. If you sign in, we collect the email address you use for authentication.
Messages or support requests. If you contact us, we may receive the information you include in that message.

Information collected automatically

Usage data. We use analytics tools to measure page views, course progress actions, quiz interactions, and general product usage.
Device and browser data. Our service providers may receive technical information such as browser type, device type, approximate location derived from IP address, and similar diagnostic information.
Learning data. We may store course progress, completion state, and quiz-related learning data tied to your account so your experience can continue across sessions.

Information stored in your browser

Music Maps uses browser storage for product features and convenience, including items such as:

theme or UI preferences
login flow state, such as a saved sign-in email during email-link authentication
course interface state
consent or preference flags for certain interactive features
local map or viewport preferences

Interactive feature data

MIDI access. If you choose to enable MIDI features, your browser may share connected MIDI device details with the app so those features can work.
Audio features. Music Maps generates and processes audio in your browser for interactive lessons and widgets.

How we use information

We use information to:

provide and operate Music Maps
authenticate users and maintain accounts
save progress and personalize the learning experience
understand usage and improve performance, content, and features
maintain security and prevent misuse
comply with legal obligations

Service providers and third parties

We may share information with service providers that help us operate the service, including:

Firebase / Google for authentication, data storage, and analytics
YouTube when embedded videos are displayed or played

These providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights, or in connection with a business transfer such as a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.

What we do not do

We do not sell your personal information.
We do not request microphone access as part of the current Music Maps experience.

Retention

We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the service, maintain records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Browser-stored data may remain until you clear it or your browser removes it.

Your choices

You can usually:

choose not to sign in, though some features may then be unavailable
disable or limit cookies and browser storage through your browser settings
decline MIDI permissions
stop using embedded third-party services such as YouTube content

If you want account-related data deleted or corrected, contact us through the contact method listed on the site or project repository.

Security

We use reasonable measures designed to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

International processing

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own, depending on where our service providers operate.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date above and may provide additional notice when appropriate.
