Privacy

The short version

• No ads. Visits are counted with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which shows us totals (pages, countries, devices), not who you are.
• This site’s own code sets no cookies.
• The few settings it remembers are kept in your own browser, on your device. They are never sent to us.
• The tuner’s microphone sound is analysed in your browser and is never recorded, saved or sent anywhere.
• An audio file you open in the slow-down and loop trainer plays from your device. It is never uploaded.
• Like every website, the company that hosts the site receives basic technical information when your browser asks for a page (see Hosting).

What we collect

Nothing that identifies you. The tools have no forms that send anything. The site counts visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which gives us totals such as pages opened, countries, device and browser types and where visitors came from, and does not tell us who a visitor is. We (Nithin Pinto, who runs this site) do not receive your name, email address, location, recordings or files from the tools, and we cannot see which tools you use. The only way we receive anything from you is if you write to us (see Writing to us).

What stays on your device

The tools remember your choices so they are the same next time. They use your browser’s own storage (called “local storage”) on this device. It is not a cookie, it is never sent to us, and we cannot read it. It stays until you clear it.

What is kept:

• Site settings: theme (light, dark or system), Calm motion, Indian terms, keyboard shortcuts on or off, whether the home page’s moving lines are paused, and whether you have seen each tool’s short tour.
• Your tuning: the A4 pitch, your Sa and your instrument. The tuner, drone, ear trainer, pitch name converter, alankar generator, raaga pages, calculators and fretboard share these.
• Each tool’s last choices, for example the scale, key or clef you picked.
• Metronome: your saved presets and how many minutes you practised each day.
• Practice routine: your routine and your practice log.
• Ear trainer and note reading trainer: how many answers you got right.
• Transposer: the chord chart you typed or pasted, so it is still there when you come back.
• Slow-down and loop trainer: for each audio file you open, your speed, loop and markers. To find them again it stores the file’s name, size and date. The audio itself is never stored.

To delete all of it, clear this site’s data in your browser’s settings (often under “Site settings” or “Cookies and site data”). Some tools also have their own “Clear” or “Forget” buttons. If your browser blocks storage, the tools still work; they just do not remember your choices.

Microphone (tuner only)

Only the tuner uses the microphone. Your browser asks your permission the first time you press Start tuner or Listen for my Sa. The sound is analysed inside your browser tab to find the pitch. It is not recorded, saved or uploaded, it is not played back, and no one else can hear it. Pressing Stop tuner or leaving the page switches the microphone off. You can remove the permission at any time in your browser’s site settings.

Your audio files and the sounds

When you open a song or recording in the slow-down and loop trainer, your browser plays it straight from your device. The file is not uploaded and is not kept by the site; only the small settings listed above are remembered. Almost every other sound (metronome, drone, ear trainer, scales and the rest) is made by your browser as you listen. The one exception is the recorded tanpura on the Drone page: when you press Start, your browser downloads a short sound loop from this site (about 0.7 MB for the first string you choose) and keeps it so it can play again without a connection. No sound files are downloaded from anywhere else.

Copies kept by your browser

After your first visit, your browser may keep a copy of the site’s own pages, scripts, styles and fonts so the site loads faster. This copy holds only the site’s files, never anything you type, choose or open.

Hosting

The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Like any web host, it receives the technical information your browser sends with each request, such as your IP address, browser type and the page asked for, and may keep it in short-lived logs for security and to run the service. We do not use this information to identify you, and we use the host’s Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits.

Children

The tools can be used by anyone, including children, without giving any personal information. Because the tools collect no personal data, there is nothing for a parent to consent to.

Writing to us, and your rights

If you email us, we receive your email address and what you write. We use it only to reply, and we do not share it or add it to any list. Apart from that, the tools collect no personal data, so there is nothing else for us to show, correct or delete; your settings live only on your device, and you can clear them yourself (see What stays on your device).
