ChordSnap recognizes guitar chords from images without requiring an account.
This policy explains what data the app processes when you scan an image, save results locally, and share a read-only chord page.
ChordSnap does not require sign-in, subscriptions, or profile creation to scan and view chords.
If the app runs in OpenAI OCR mode, the image you choose is sent to the app backend and then to OpenAI to extract chord text.
Recognized chords, edits, and the selected image preview are stored in this browser's local storage so results survive reloads on the same device.
ChordSnap may process the following data when you use the scanner:
- Images you intentionally upload or capture for chord recognition.
- Chord text extracted from those images.
- Manual corrections you make to recognized chords.
- Basic usage analytics if Vercel Analytics is enabled for the deployed site.
In the default published configuration, ChordSnap uses OpenAI OCR for the best recognition quality. Images sent for cloud OCR are processed only to return chord text back to the app.
ChordSnap can also use browser-based Tesseract OCR. In that mode, image recognition happens locally in the browser instead of being sent to the cloud OCR provider.
Scan sessions are stored locally on your device in browser storage until you clear them or remove site data.
When you use the share feature, the app encodes recognized chord results into the share link itself so the recipient can open a read-only page. Shared links should be treated as public if you distribute them.
ChordSnap does not currently provide a cloud account area where you can review or delete uploaded scans later.
You can stop using the scanner at any time, clear stored scan sessions from the results screen, and remove browser site data through your device settings.
Privacy questions should be directed to the publisher contact listed in the deployed website footer or the Google Play listing for the production app.
