This Privacy Policy applies to the KeepTrack: Musical Journey mobile app. Based on the current app implementation, KeepTrack: Musical Journey is designed as a private local-first music lesson journal. The app does not collect, sell, or share personal data for advertising or tracking purposes.
Based on the current app code, KeepTrack: Musical Journey stores music lesson journal data locally on your device first so the app can work as expected. This may include:
Local journal data is stored with Apple's SwiftData framework. The app configures its application support directory with complete file protection where supported by the operating system.
When iCloud is available, supported journal records, attached sheet music, score annotations and backing tracks can sync through the private CloudKit database attached to your own Apple iCloud account. Practice recordings use a separate sync path in that private database. This sync is for your devices and does not use a public database, shared database, teacher collaboration account or developer-operated journal backend. Apple provides the iCloud service.
Sync depends on your iCloud account, app access, connection and available storage. Uploads and downloads can take time. If iCloud is signed out, restricted or unavailable, valid local content remains usable; content that has not downloaded may be unavailable on that device. Sync status is shown in the app.
KeepTrack can record your playing so you can listen back later. Microphone access is requested when you start recording. Declining access or disabling it in iOS Settings leaves unrelated features available. The app does not use speech recognition for these takes.
Recordings are first saved inside the app's local container. In version 2.2.0, the audio file and metadata, including its name, annotation, favorite state, date, duration and associated piece, can be uploaded to your private iCloud database and downloaded on your other devices. Recordings are not sent to a developer-operated server, used for advertising or analytics, or processed by an AI service.
You can rename or delete recordings in the app. Deleting a synced recording also queues its deletion through private iCloud sync; other devices may not receive the change until they reconnect. Copies you exported or shared outside KeepTrack are separate.
Choose PDFs and audio backing tracks through the system document picker, or choose Scan Sheet Music to capture pages with Apple's document scanner. Camera permission is requested for scanning; declining it leaves PDF import and unrelated features available. Scanned pages are converted into an attached PDF on your device. Selecting a file does not give the app general access to your files or photo library.
Attached scores, your pen and highlight marks, and backing tracks are stored with your journal and can sync through your own private iCloud account. The app displays scores, lets you edit your marks and export a marked PDF, and plays audio you attach. It does not send this material to a remote AI service. Exporting or sharing a file sends that copy only to the destination you choose.
You can write and edit practice and lesson notes in the app. Saved notes become part of your local journal and can sync through your private iCloud account as supported journal records. KeepTrack does not send note content to a remote AI service.
KeepTrack Premium is offered through Apple's StoreKit purchase system. Monthly, yearly, and lifetime products may appear in the app depending on App Store availability and eligibility. Apple processes purchase and subscription transactions.
The app uses purchase entitlement status only to unlock premium features such as guided practice, additional instrument profiles and advanced tools. Payment details are handled by Apple; KeepTrack does not operate a payment server.
Teacher reports are generated on device from saved library data and previewed before sharing. A report may be copied or shared only when you choose a copy or share action.
If you share a report, exported score or other file with another app or service, that destination is outside KeepTrack: Musical Journey and is governed by its own privacy practices.
If you contact support at coding98jones@gmail.com, your email address and any information you include in your message will be used only to respond to your request and manage support.
Email is handled by your email provider and the recipient's email provider, outside the app itself. Opening Settings does not send a request or store feedback text; email is sent only if you choose to compose and send it in your email app.
You can archive and delete music lesson journal material within the app. Because app data is stored locally first and can sync through your private iCloud account when available, removing the app from one device generally removes locally stored app data from that device; iCloud-synced copies may still be present on your other signed-in devices until removed through the app or iCloud data management.

If KeepTrack: Musical Journey changes how it handles data in a future version, this Privacy Policy should be updated before or at the time the new data practice is introduced.
