EnglishData safety
Summary of what is collected, whether it is shared, and why, aligned with Play Console. The legal detail is in the privacy policy.
1. Collection in general
- GuitarFriend has no account and no user server of our own.
- The library (songs, progressions, chords, settings) is stored only on the phone.
- The developer does not receive your library, microphone audio, or camera photos.
2. Play data types (categories)
Device or other IDs
- Type: Advertising ID (AAID).
- Collected: yes, by Google AdMob when showing ads.
- Shared: yes, with Google AdMob and ad measurement partners.
- Sold: no.
- Purpose: advertising, ad measurement.
- Optional: the banner is part of the free app; you can limit personalization in Android.
- Encrypted in transit: yes (AdMob connection).
- Deletion: reset or delete the advertising ID in system settings; uninstalling the app stops GuitarFriend from using it. In the EEA/UK/CH also the UMP form and, if required, Settings › About › Privacy options.
- Consent: in regulated regions ads are not requested until UMP has a decision.
Audio
- Type: microphone audio to detect pitch (Tune tab only).
- Collected by the developer / sent to our servers: no. Processed on device.
- Shared by us: no.
- Purpose: app functionality (tuner).

RECORD_AUDIOpermission is declared in the manifest.
Photos and videos (camera)
- Type: camera to read a GuitarFriend QR code.
- Collected / sent to us: no.
- Shared by us: no.
- Purpose: receiving a
.gfriendfile. CAMERApermission in the manifest; not required to tune or use the songbook.
Files and docs (app)
- Type: songs, progressions, lyrics, and chords in local SQLite;
.gfriendfiles you share or open. - Collected by us: no.
- Android backup: if Auto Backup is on, Google may store that database with the phone’s Google account (same package
com.acfactory.guitarfriend). - Shared by the user: when you share a file or QR, the destination (WhatsApp, Drive, etc.) receives what you chose to send.
Location, contacts, calendar, SMS, health
Not used. Not collected.
3. Security
- Data that leaves the phone toward AdMob is encrypted in transit (HTTPS).
- Imported files are validated and size-capped.
- Users can request information at acgamesfactory@gmail.com.
4. How to fill the Play Console form
