Last updated: 12 October 2025

1) Privacy Policy

Controller: Shahar Ossy

Contact: shahar.piano.tuner@gmail.com

Scope: This Policy explains what data is processed, for what purposes, how long it is kept, with whom it is shared, and your options.

What we collect and why

We do not collect personal data on our own servers. Limited technical and engagement data may be processed by trusted third‑party providers to operate the app, deliver non‑personalized ads, understand usage, and fix crashes:

We do not request age or precise location (GPS), contacts, photos, or camera. Providers may derive approximate location (country) for analytics and anti‑fraud. No user profiles are created.

Permissions and device access

Legal basis (where applicable)

Legitimate interests in operating, securing, and maintaining the app; compliance with platform requirements (Families program).

Children

The app is family‑appropriate. We do not knowingly collect children’s personal data. We do not use personalized advertising for children.

Support communications

If you email us for support, we will process your email address and the content of your message to handle your request and to operate, secure, and improve the app. We may retain such correspondence and related records as long as reasonably necessary for support, security, fraud prevention, and legal compliance. Where applicable law grants you deletion rights, you may request deletion; we may decline where retention is required or permitted by law.

Retention

Third‑party providers retain analytics and crash/usage data according to their policies. Local settings (e.g., feature preferences) are stored on your device. We retain support correspondence and operational records for so long as needed for the purposes described above and to comply with legal obligations.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Security incidents

We will provide notices of security incidents only where required by law, and subject to legitimate interests and law‑enforcement requirements.

International transfers

Providers may process data globally with appropriate safeguards.

Your rights and contact

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access or delete data processed about you. Send requests to shahar.piano.tuner@gmail.com. We may ask for information to verify the request and will respond within applicable timeframes.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy. Material changes will be signaled in‑app where required. The date at the top shows the latest version.


2) Terms & Conditions

Acceptance

By installing or using the app, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

License and ownership

We grant you a limited, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable license to use the app on Android devices you own or control for personal, non‑commercial use. All intellectual property in the app remains with Shahar Ossy.

Distribution

The app is distributed only via Google Play. Installing modified, repackaged, or unauthorized versions is prohibited.

Permissions

Certain features require permissions you can grant or deny:

User content (MIDI)

You may import local MIDI files for personal use on your device. Non-MIDI selections are ignored locally. Files are not uploaded to our servers and remain under your control. You are solely responsible for ensuring you have all necessary rights to any content you use in the app and for complying with applicable laws. We do not monitor or review the content you import, and we are not liable for that content. We may, however, act where required by law or platform rules, including restricting features or terminating access in cases of suspected repeat infringement.

Copyright complaints (notice)

We do not host user files. If you believe the app is being used to infringe your rights, send a written notice to shahar.piano.tuner@gmail.com describing the work claimed to be infringed and the basis of your claim. We will review and take action we deem appropriate as required by applicable law and platform policies. We cannot remove files from a user’s device.

Ads and purchases

The app may display ads delivered by Google AdMob as non‑personalized ads. If we introduce personalized ads for adults in the future, we will first obtain explicit consent and provide controls, and we will not personalize ads for children. An optional in‑app purchase via Google Play Billing may remove ads. We do not receive or store your payment card details. Restores and refunds are handled under Google Play policies.

Device, connectivity, and charges

An active internet connection may be required for some features. You are responsible for network charges, including roaming. Keep your device charged and secure; we are not responsible for issues arising from device state, modifications, or unsupported configurations.

Prohibited activities

You agree not to: (i) infringe others’ rights; (ii) submit illegal or harmful content; (iii) exploit or harm minors; (iv) impersonate others; (v) violate laws; (vi) interfere with the app, ads, or security; (vii) manipulate ratings or reviews; (viii) circumvent or attempt to circumvent DRM or other technical protection measures, download from or facilitate access to unauthorized sources, post, share, or link to infringing content or sources, or encourage or induce infringement.

We may restrict features or terminate access in cases of suspected or confirmed repeat infringement, as required by applicable law or platform policies.

Third‑party services

The app integrates third‑party services (e.g., Google Play Services, AdMob, GameAnalytics). Your use of those services is subject to their terms and policies. We are not responsible for third‑party sites and services.

Updates and termination

We may update, suspend, or discontinue the app at any time. You agree to install updates we provide. Upon termination, your right to use the app ends and you must delete it from your devices.

Accuracy and safety

Tuning and pitch‑detection features depend on device hardware and environment. Results may vary. Use safe listening levels.

No warranties

The app is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non‑infringement.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, revenues, or profits. Our total aggregate liability for all claims is limited to the greater of USD 5 or the amounts you paid to us within the 12 months preceding the claim.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims arising from your misuse of the app or violation of these Terms.

U.S. arbitration; class‑action waiver

For users who reside in the United States: any dispute arising out of or relating to the app or these Terms will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by AAA or JAMS under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). No class or representative actions or arbitrations are permitted. Either party may seek relief in Small Claims Court for eligible claims. Users may opt out of this provision by emailing shahar.piano.tuner@gmail.com within 30 days of first acceptance of these Terms. This section does not prevent either party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief in court to protect intellectual‑property or security interests.

Governing law and venue

Except as set out in the section “U.S. arbitration; class‑action waiver”, these Terms are governed by the laws of Israel, and the courts of Tel‑Aviv–Yafo have exclusive jurisdiction. This does not limit mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence.

Export control and sanctions compliance

You represent that you are not subject to embargoes or restrictions that would prohibit your use of the app and that you will comply with applicable export and sanctions laws.

Severability; no waiver; entire agreement; assignment; force majeure

If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. A failure to enforce is not a waiver. These Terms are the entire agreement regarding the app. We may assign these Terms; you may not without our consent. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms. The date at the top shows the latest version.
