Delete Your Data
This page explains how to request deletion of the data collected by the Open Chord mobile app, published by OAK TEK - FZCO.
Deleting data stored on your device
You do not need to contact us. Your practice history, streak, progress, and settings are stored only on your device, and you can remove all of it yourself at any time:
- Open the Guitarist tab
- Open My Profile
- Open the My Data section
- Tap Clear all data and confirm
This is immediate and cannot be undone. Uninstalling the app has the same effect.
Deleting usage data we have collected
To request deletion of the anonymous usage data collected through the app, follow these steps:
- Step 1. Open the Guitarist tab, then My Profile, then My Data.
- Step 2. Find Your anonymous ID at the bottom of that section and tap it to copy.
- Step 3. Email oaktechnologiesfze@gmail.com with the subject line Delete my data and paste your anonymous ID into the message.
We need the anonymous ID because Open Chord has no accounts and we hold no name, email address, or any other detail that would let us find your records without it. If you cannot supply it, we may be unable to act on your request.
We will confirm and complete deletion within 30 days of receiving your request.
What gets deleted
On request, we delete all analytics records associated with your anonymous ID:
- Usage events, such as lessons started or completed, practice sessions, tuner and metronome use, and streaks
- The anonymous analytics identifier itself
Crash reports
Crash reports are handled separately by Google Firebase Crashlytics and are not linked to your analytics identifier. They contain only technical details of a failure and carry their own randomly generated identifier, which we have no way to match to you or to search on. Crashlytics deletes crash reports automatically 90 days after they are recorded, so no action is needed to remove them.
What we do not hold
There is nothing to delete in these categories, because we never collect them:
- Your name, email address, phone number, or any account
- Your location, country, city, or stored IP address
- Any audio. The tuner analyses sound entirely on your device and no audio is ever recorded or transmitted
- Any recording or replay of your screen
- Any advertising identifier
What may be kept
Aggregated statistics that contain no identifier and cannot be traced back to any individual device may be retained. Once your anonymous ID is deleted, no remaining record can be linked to you.
Stopping collection instead of deleting
If you would rather we simply stop collecting data, you can switch analytics off inside the app. Open the Guitarist tab, then My Profile, then Analytics, and turn the toggle off. No further data is sent from that point on.
