1. Controller and scope
The controller for the processing described in this policy is Guitar to MIDI for the services offered on the website, in the application, and in the account area.
This policy covers data processed when you browse the website, create or use an account, activate a free trial, manage a subscription, pay for the service, or request support.
2. Data we collect
We may process identity and account data such as your email address, name or nickname, avatar, user identifier, and sign-in provider.
We may also process service, license, and subscription data such as your trial status, subscription status, invoices, authorized devices or sessions, license validation status, app version, operating system, sign-in provider, certain technical information about your environment, and logs strictly necessary for security, fraud prevention, diagnostics, and support.
We do not collect or upload guitar audio, imported audio files, DAW audio streams, or DAW project files for audio-to-MIDI conversion.
For website audience measurement, we use Umami to collect visitor and traffic statistics.
3. Desktop app, VST plugin, and local audio processing
GuitarToMIDI converts guitar audio into MIDI locally on your device, either in real time from a live guitar input or offline from recorded audio files.
The audio processing model runs on your device. Guitar audio, imported audio files, and audio streams processed by the standalone app or VST plugin do not need to be uploaded to our servers for audio-to-MIDI conversion.
When used as a VST plugin, GuitarToMIDI processes the audio signal provided by the host DAW locally. GuitarToMIDI does not upload your DAW project files or guitar audio to a remote server for MIDI conversion.
The application may connect to our servers or third-party providers only for functions such as account login, trial activation, subscription verification, license validation, authorized device/session management, fraud prevention, security, support, billing, and subscription management.
4. Purposes and legal bases
We process your data to provide the service you request, including creating and securing your account, activating the free trial, verifying access rights, validating licenses and authorized sessions/devices, managing subscriptions, issuing invoices, and handling support.
We also process certain data on the basis of our legitimate interest to secure the service, prevent abuse, diagnose incidents, and improve the product. Audience measurement with Umami is triggered only after your acceptance.
Some data may also be processed to comply with legal obligations, including accounting, tax, and record-keeping obligations.
5. Recipients and processors
Data is accessible only to authorized persons when necessary for service operations, technical administration, customer support, billing, or security.
We may use providers such as Supabase for hosting and database services, Google or Microsoft for authentication, Stripe for payment and invoicing, and Umami for visitor statistics. These providers are used for service operation, authentication, billing, analytics, security, and support. They are not used to process guitar audio for audio-to-MIDI conversion.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
6. Retention
Account, access, and subscription data is kept for as long as necessary to manage the service relationship and then for the period required to handle disputes, evidence, and legal obligations.
Billing data and accounting records are kept for the period required by applicable law.
Technical logs and audience measurement data are kept for a limited period proportionate to their purpose.
7. Cookies and visitor analytics
We do not use advertising cookies or analytics cookies on the website.
We use Umami to collect visitor statistics. The Umami audience measurement script does not use tracking cookies and is loaded only after acceptance.
Strictly necessary cookies may still be used for sign-in and session management when you authenticate or access your account area.
8. Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or destruction.
No system is completely risk-free, so you must also protect your credentials, devices, and access.
9. Your rights
You may request access to, rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing of your data, and you may object where that right applies. You may also request data portability where the legal basis gives you that right.
For any privacy-related request, use the address or contact point provided on the website, in the application, or on your billing documents.
You may also lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority if you believe your data has been processed in breach of applicable law.
