Privacy Policy

GigCharts is a tool for making chord charts. This policy explains what personal data we handle, why, and the rights you have. We designed the product to collect as little as possible: it is local-first, so your songs live in your own browser and only reach our servers if you sign in and use cloud sync.

Who we are

GigCharts ("we", "us") operates the marketing site at gigcharts.app and the app at app.gigcharts.app. For any privacy question, or to exercise a right below, email hello@gigcharts.app. We are the data controller for the personal data described here.

What we collect

• Nothing, if you just use the app anonymously. Anonymous charts are stored only in your browser (localStorage) and never sent to us.
• Your email address, if you create an account. We use passwordless sign-in, so we store your email and an authentication token — not a password.
• Your songs and songbooks, if you are signed in with cloud sync (a Pro feature). These are stored so they sync across your devices. They are private to your account and are never made public, shared, or searchable by other people.
• Billing information, if you subscribe to Pro. Payments are processed by our merchant of record, Lemon Squeezy — we do not see or store your card details.
• Aggregate, anonymous usage statistics (e.g. page views, country, referrer), if analytics are enabled. These use no cookies and do not identify you.

Why we use it (legal bases)

• To provide the service — signing you in and syncing your songs (performance of our contract with you).
• To take payment for Pro (performance of contract).
• To keep the service secure and working, and to understand aggregate usage (our legitimate interests, balanced against your privacy).
• To send you product or early-access emails, only if you asked for them (consent — you can withdraw it anytime).

Who we share it with (subprocessors)

We don't sell your data. We use a small number of trusted providers to run the service:

• Supabase — database, authentication and cloud storage for accounts.
• Lemon Squeezy — payments and subscription billing (merchant of record).
• Resend — sending sign-in and account emails.
• Cloudflare — hosting, content delivery, and (if enabled) privacy-friendly analytics.

Each acts as our processor under a data-processing agreement. Some are based in the United States; where your data is transferred internationally, that transfer is covered by Standard Contractual Clauses or an equivalent safeguard.

Your rights

You can access, export, correct, or delete your data at any time. The app has built-in controls: from your account menu you can export all your data as a file, and delete your account, which permanently removes your account and all songs, songbooks and folders stored with it. You can also just email us and we'll do it for you.

If you are in the EU/UK, you also have the right to object to or restrict processing, to data portability, and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. If you are in California, you have the rights described by the CCPA/CPRA, including that we do not sell or "share" your personal information.

Retention

Account data is kept for as long as your account exists. When you delete your account, your songs, songbooks and folders are deleted from our systems and roll off backups shortly after. Anonymous, local-only data lives only in your browser until you clear it.

Cookies

We use only an essential cookie to keep you signed in. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. See our Cookie Policy for details.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit. Cloud data is protected by row-level security, so an account can only ever read or write its own rows. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.

Children

GigCharts is not directed to children under 16 (or the minimum age in your country), and we don't knowingly collect their personal data.

Changes

If we make a material change to this policy, we'll update the date above and, for significant changes, let account holders know.
