Effective Date: November 6, 2026
Tonewick is a practice toolkit for musicians (metronome, tuner, drone and ear training) published by EqualInformation, LLC for iPhone and iPad. This policy explains what the app does with information on your device and what is shared with advertising services.
The Tune screen and the Sing back exercise in the Ear screen use the microphone to measure the pitch of the note you play or sing. Access is requested the first time you open one of those screens. While a screen is open, the sound is analysed on your device in real time, only to find a note and how many cents sharp or flat it is. Audio is never recorded, saved to storage, transmitted or shared, and no audio leaves the device. The microphone stops when you leave the screen. You can withdraw permission at any time in Settings > Tonewick > Microphone; the metronome, drone and interval exercises keep working without it.
Your settings (tempo, sound, instrument, concert pitch), ear-training scores and the monthly count of rewarded videos you have watched are kept in the app's local storage on your device. We do not run accounts and we do not receive this information.
Tonewick is free and shows ads from Google AdMob: banners and an occasional full-screen ad, plus optional rewarded videos. Google and its partners may collect your device advertising identifier (if you allow tracking), approximate location, ad interaction and diagnostic data to serve and measure ads. On first launch the app asks for App Tracking Transparency permission, then, where the law requires it, shows Google's consent form (EEA, UK and some US states). Choosing Ask App Not to Track or declining consent never limits a feature; ads simply become less personalised. You can change your ad choices later from the Plus tab when the option is offered, and in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
See Google's policy: how Google uses data from apps that use its services.
An optional monthly subscription (US$2.99 per month, local price shown in the App Store) removes all ads. Purchases are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store; we never see your payment details. Subscription status is read from Apple on your device with StoreKit. The subscription renews automatically until cancelled in iOS Settings > your name > Subscriptions.
We do not sell personal information, do not build user profiles, do not use analytics services of our own, and do not ask for your name, email address or contacts.
Tonewick is a general-audience music tool and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Depending on where you live (for example the EEA, UK or California) you may have rights over data processed by advertising partners, such as access, deletion or opting out of sale or sharing. Use the consent form and iOS tracking setting described above, or write to us and we will help route a request. Because we hold no account data, deleting the app removes everything Tonewick stores.
If this policy changes the date below is updated and, for material changes, the app's description will say so.
