1Who we are
This Privacy Policy explains how Sargam Piano (“the app”, “we”, “us”) handles information when you use our Android app available on Google Play.
2Information we collect
We collect only the following — and only so we can show ads that keep Sargam Piano free:
Like most ad services, Google AdMob may also automatically receive your IP address (from which an approximate, city-level location may be derived) and how you interact with ads. This is handled by Google under its own policies — see section 4.
That's it. We don't collect anything else, and we never sell your data.
3What stays on your device
Some features need permissions. Everything gathered through them is processed locally on your phone and is never uploaded — not to us, not to anyone.
- Microphone — only while you use note detection during practice. Audio is analysed in real time on your phone and is never sent anywhere.
- Bluetooth — only to find and connect to Bluetooth MIDI keyboards you choose to pair.
- Location (Android 11 and older only) — older Android versions require this to scan for Bluetooth devices. We never read or use your location.
- Songs you import — converted to piano notes entirely on your phone.
- Lessons, streaks, progress & settings — saved only in the app's private storage. Uninstalling the app deletes them.
4Advertising by Google AdMob
Sargam Piano shows ads through Google AdMob, a service of Google LLC. AdMob uses the identifiers listed above to serve and measure ads. Learn how Google handles data:
If you're in the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, you'll be asked for consent before personalised ads are shown, and you can change your choice at any time.
5Your choices
- Reset or delete your Advertising ID — open Settings → Privacy → Ads (or Settings → Google → Ads) on your phone.
- Turn off personalised ads — use the same Ads settings, or visit Google Ad Settings. You'll still see ads, just less relevant ones.
- Revoke permissions — switch off microphone or Bluetooth access anytime in Settings → Apps → Sargam Piano → Permissions.
- Delete all app data — uninstall the app, or go to Settings → Apps → Sargam Piano → Storage → Clear data.
6Data retention & security
We don't store any of your data on our own servers — because we don't have any. Data received by Google AdMob is retained according to Google's policies. Everything on your phone is protected by Android's app sandbox.
7Children's privacy
Sargam Piano is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through the app, contact us and we'll help remove it.
8Changes to this policy
If we ever add features that collect new data (for example, online features in the future), we'll update this page and the “Last updated” date before those features go live.
