Effective Date: April 2, 2025
Welcome to FretGenius! This Privacy Policy explains how FretGenius ("we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use our website (`fretgenius.app`), web application (`web.fretgenius.app`), and any related services (collectively, the "Service").
Your privacy is important to us. We aim to be transparent about the limited data we collect and how it's used solely to improve your experience, while minimizing any potential privacy impact.
We collect minimal information necessary to operate and improve the Service:
For details, see Sentry's Privacy Policy.
The anonymized data collected includes:
Due to these privacy-enhancing measures (no cookies/persistence, masking, IP anonymization), this data is anonymous at the session level and is not used to personally identify you. For details on PostHog's data handling, see PostHog's Privacy Policy.
We currently do not require user registration or login to use the core features of the Service, nor do we collect personal details like your name or email address for analytics or crash reporting.
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
We do not use cookies, local storage, or session storage for tracking user activity across sessions or websites via our analytics setup. Our PostHog analytics configuration specifically disables these persistence mechanisms.
The Service may use local storage only for strictly necessary functional purposes unrelated to tracking, such as storing user interface preferences (if applicable), but not for analytics or identification.
The legal basis for processing crash and error reports via Sentry is our legitimate interest in maintaining and improving the stability and performance of our Service.
The legal basis for collecting and processing the anonymized usage analytics data via PostHog's EU Cloud service is also our legitimate interest. Our legitimate interest lies in understanding how our Service is used in an aggregated, anonymous manner to improve its functionality, user experience, and feature set. We believe this interest is balanced against user privacy rights due to the significant privacy-enhancing measures we have configured within the PostHog service: cookieless operation, comprehensive data masking, IP address anonymization, and the use of their EU-based infrastructure.
We do not sell or rent your information. We share limited data only with the following third-party service providers (data processors) who help us operate the Service:
We may also disclose information if required by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect our rights or property, prevent wrongdoing, protect user safety, or defend against legal liability.
We rely on the security measures implemented by our third-party providers, Sentry and PostHog, to protect the data they process on our behalf. Both providers employ industry-standard security practices appropriate for the data they handle. However, no system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Depending on your location and applicable data protection laws (such as the GDPR in the EU/EEA or the CCPA in California), you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. These can include the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing of, or object to the processing of your data, as well as the right to data portability.
Given the nature of the data we collect (anonymized analytics and technical crash reports), our ability to directly identify and act upon requests related to specific individuals is very limited. The data processed by our third-party providers (Sentry and PostHog) is subject to their respective privacy policies and data handling practices.
If you have questions about your data or wish to inquire about exercising potential rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will address your inquiry to the best of our ability within the constraints of the data we process.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority if you believe our processing of information infringes applicable data protection laws.
FretGenius is intended for users of various ages. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone, including children under the age defined by applicable laws (e.g., 13 in the US, 16 in parts of the EU). Our data collection (crash reports and anonymized analytics) is designed not to be personally identifying and is used solely for improving the Service. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child's data may have been inadvertently collected in a way that concerns you, please contact us at [email protected].
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
