This policy explains what information Pano Tuner (“we”, “this site”) does and does not collect when you use the tuner and read the Journal, and the choices you have.
Microphone audio
The tuner requests microphone access solely to detect the pitch of the notes you play. All audio processing happens locally in your browser. Microphone audio is analyzed in real time and immediately discarded. It is never recorded, stored, uploaded, or transmitted to us or to anyone else. Revoking microphone permission in your browser stops all audio access instantly; the tuner’s reference-tone features continue to work without it.
Data stored on your device
The tuner saves your settings — reference pitch, temperament, transposition, sensitivity — in your browser’s local storage so they persist between visits. This data stays on your device, is not transmitted to us, and can be cleared at any time through your browser’s site-data settings.
