1) Privacy Direction in One Paragraph
Elara is built as a no-account guitar practice tracker. Most of your activity is centered on practice logs you create: duration, activity type, difficulty, notes, optional photos, and song-related entries. This information powers in-app views like session history and fretboard heatmaps, helping you understand where your practice time goes.
2) Data Categories Used by Elara
Activity type, session duration, difficulty rating, selected chords or fret range, and timestamp.
Heatmap counts, recent sessions, and trend-related values generated from your own logs.
Photos and notes you attach to sessions for your own review context.
Local settings that support your display and app behavior choices.
3) Why This Data Is Used
- To show your practice history in a clear timeline.
- To render fretboard heatmap intensity from real session input.
- To help you review consistency and focus areas over time.
- To improve app usability based on behavior patterns and feature usage flow.
The main goal is simple: turn raw practice entries into understandable visual progress.
4) No Account Required
Elara does not require sign-in to start using core features. You can open the app and begin logging practice immediately. This keeps onboarding lightweight and makes personal practice tracking friction-free.
5) Photos and Notes
Photos and free-text notes are optional. Add them only when they provide real value for your own review. If you prefer minimal data entry, you can use Elara with duration and activity logs only.
6) Tracking and Permission Moments
On iOS, if tracking permission is requested, the request is presented through the native system dialog. You can decide based on your preference. Your choice is respected by the app flow.
7) Data Handling Principles
- Use only what helps your practice experience.
- Keep data purpose tightly linked to visible app features.
- Avoid collecting unrelated profile-heavy details.
- Prioritize clarity so users understand what each input powers.
8) Product Improvement Signals
Elara may analyze anonymized usage patterns at a product level to improve interface flow, session entry speed, and feature discoverability. This helps tune the app experience so practice logging stays fast and intuitive.
Example focus areas include: reducing taps in session creation, improving chart readability, and refining progression views.
9) Your Control and Choices
- You choose what to type in notes and what photos to attach.
- You can keep entries short, detailed, or photo-free based on comfort.
- You can stop adding optional content at any time and continue using core tracking.
10) Sharing Approach
Elara does not treat your practice records as social feed content. The app is designed as a personal progress tool. Data sharing is not a core product behavior.
11) Policy Refreshes
As Elara evolves, this policy may be refined for better clarity and feature accuracy. Updated wording focuses on transparency and plain explanations so users always understand what the app does with their data.
