Privacy Policy

PitchLab respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you use the PitchLab application, how that information is used, how long it is retained, and the choices available to you.

1. Information We Process

Audio submitted for analysis

When you use PitchLab’s microphone feature or upload an audio file, the selected audio is temporarily transmitted to our backend so the app can analyze musical characteristics such as BPM, key, rhythm, energy, genre, mood, instruments, and other relevant attributes.

Raw audio is processed only for the requested analysis and is not retained after processing is complete.

Analysis results

PitchLab may store structured analysis results so they can appear in your in-app history. These results may include track title, BPM, musical key, genre, mood, rhythm characteristics, energy, detected instruments, generated pitch suggestions, and analysis date and time.

Spotify links

If you submit a Spotify link, PitchLab may use publicly available Spotify information, such as the track title and artwork, to identify and display the referenced track.

PitchLab does not access your Spotify account, private playlists, listening history, password, or other private Spotify account information.

Subscription information

If you purchase a Premium subscription through the Apple App Store on iOS or Google Play on Android, the applicable platform processes the payment transaction.

PitchLab may receive limited purchase or subscription information from Apple or Google that is necessary to verify whether your subscription or purchase is active and to unlock Premium features.

PitchLab does not receive or store your full payment card number, banking information, Apple ID password, or Google Account password.

Technical information

PitchLab may process limited technical information necessary to operate and improve the service, such as request status, processing duration, application errors, crash or performance information.

We do not use this information for advertising or cross-app tracking.

2. Information We Do Not Intentionally Collect

PitchLab does not require you to create a user account.

• your name
• email address
• password
• precise GPS location
• contacts
• SMS messages
• calendar information
• advertising identifiers for tracking
• banking or payment card information

PitchLab does not sell personal information to advertisers or data brokers.

3. How Audio Analysis Works

When audio is submitted, it may be temporarily processed by our backend infrastructure.

Audio may be decoded and analyzed using audio-processing technologies to determine musical characteristics such as BPM, key, rhythm, and energy.

Relevant structured information may then be processed by an artificial intelligence service to generate additional results such as genre, mood, instrumentation, musical descriptions, and pitch suggestions.

Raw audio is not sent to OpenAI unless this is specifically required by a future feature and this Privacy Policy is updated accordingly.

Raw audio is deleted after the requested analysis has completed.

4. Artificial Intelligence Processing

PitchLab may use OpenAI services to help generate certain textual music-analysis results.

OpenAI may receive limited structured information necessary to perform that analysis, such as musical characteristics derived from the submitted track.

Raw audio is not intentionally provided to OpenAI as part of the current PitchLab analysis process.

The information sent is limited to what is necessary to produce the requested result.

5. In-App Purchases

Premium subscriptions and one-time purchases are offered through Apple In-App Purchase on iOS and Google Play Billing on Android.

Apple and Google are responsible for processing payments, billing, refunds, and payment credentials for purchases made through their respective platforms.

PitchLab may verify subscription or purchase status through Apple or Google in order to determine whether Premium features should be available.

We do not independently process credit card payments.

6. Device Permissions

Microphone

PitchLab requests microphone access only when you choose to use the microphone analysis feature. Recording begins only after you actively start the feature. The recording is used solely for music analysis.

Files

When you choose to upload an audio file, your device's system file picker allows you to select the specific file you want PitchLab to analyze.

7. Data Retention

Raw audio: retained only temporarily and deleted after processing is completed.

Analysis history: structured analysis results may remain available in your in-app history until you delete them or the applicable storage is otherwise cleared.

Technical logs: may be retained for a limited period where necessary for security, debugging, performance monitoring, and service reliability.

8. How We Use Information

• perform music analysis
• generate analysis results and pitch suggestions
• display your analysis history
• verify Premium subscription access
• maintain application security and reliability
• diagnose bugs and technical problems
• improve application performance

PitchLab does not use submitted audio or analysis results for targeted advertising.

9. Third-Party Services

Apple — App Store distribution, Apple In-App Purchases, subscription management, purchase verification, and related platform services on iOS.

Google — Google Play distribution, Google Play Billing, subscription management, purchase verification, and related platform services on Android.

OpenAI — certain artificial-intelligence-generated textual analysis features.

PitchLab does not sell your information to third parties.

10. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information processed through PitchLab. However, no online service or electronic transmission method can guarantee absolute security.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, including within the European Economic Area, you may have rights regarding personal information associated with you, including the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent where applicable.

You may also lodge a complaint with a competent data protection authority.

Because PitchLab does not require a user account, some information may not be directly identifiable as belonging to you.

12. Children

13. International Processing
