Guitar Tap — Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 20, 2026

Guitar Tap is developed by Dolce Sfogato (David Smith). This policy explains how the Guitar Tap app for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS handles your information.

Summary

Guitar Tap does not collect, transmit, or sell any personal information. All analysis happens on your device. We have no servers, no user accounts, and no analytics or tracking of any kind.

Microphone

Guitar Tap uses your device's microphone to capture the sound of a tap on a guitar, plate, or brace, and analyzes that audio in real time to compute a frequency spectrum and related measurements. This audio is processed entirely on your device. It is not recorded for transmission, sent to us, or shared with any third party.

Measurements and files you create

When you choose to save a measurement, Guitar Tap stores the results (frequency spectra, computed values, chart images, and any name or notes you enter) locally on your device, in the app's Documents storage. Depending on your device settings, your operating system may include this data in your own iCloud backup or iCloud Drive. That data remains under your control through your Apple account; we have no access to it.

If you export or share a measurement (for example via AirDrop, the Files app, iCloud Drive, Mail, or by saving a file to disk), the file goes only where you direct it. These actions are initiated by you, and the data is never sent to us.

No data collection

Guitar Tap does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to the developer or to third parties. Specifically, the app:

Network use

The app itself does not send your data over the internet. The only network activity occurs when you choose to open the online User Manual, which launches your device's default web browser to a page hosted at dolcesfogato.com. Standard web-server logs for that website are governed by the dolcesfogato.com website, not by the app.

Children's privacy

Guitar Tap does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a revised effective date.
