1. Introduction & Core Commitment
Welcome to ttaptempo.com ("we", "our", or "us"). We recognize that your privacy is paramount. This Privacy Policy outlines our principles, practices, and guidelines regarding how information is handled when you visit our website, utilize our tap tempo bpm counter, practice with our online metronome, or use our audio delay synchronization tools.
Our foundational architectural principle is straightforward: We do not collect, store, sell, or monetize your personal identity data. Our web utilities are engineered to operate anonymously and execute purely on the client side inside your web browser.
2. Zero Personal Data Collection
Unlike conventional web services, you are not required to create an account, register an email address, provide credit card information, or link social media profiles to use ttaptempo.com. You can access every single tool, tempo marking, and delay calculation completely free and without an account.
- No User Profiles: We do not maintain user databases, member rosters, or tracking profiles.
- No Audio Recording: Our tool does not access, record, or transmit audio from your device microphone. All BPM calculations are derived strictly from keyboard keypresses, mouse clicks, or touchscreen tap timestamps.
3. Client-Side Execution & High-Resolution Timers
Every mathematical computation performed on ttaptempo.com—including calculating millisecond intervals between taps, computing rolling moving averages, synthesizing audio metronome clicks, and converting tempo into delay note divisions—takes place entirely within your browser's local sandbox.
We employ the W3C High Resolution Time API (window.performance.now()) and the Web Audio API (AudioContext) directly in client JavaScript. No timing data or session statistics are ever uploaded to remote servers.
4. Cookies, Web Storage & Browser Preferences
We do not use tracking cookies to monitor your online activity across other websites. We utilize your browser's native localStorage solely for essential user experience preferences:
- Theme Mode Preference: Storing whether you have selected Dark Mode or Light Mode so your chosen appearance persists between page visits.
This data remains physically stored on your individual device and is never transmitted to us or any third party. You can clear this data at any time via your browser settings.
5. Third-Party Advertising & Google AdSense
To maintain ttaptempo.com as a 100% free resource for creators worldwide without requiring paywalls or subscriptions, we may display non-intrusive advertisements served by third-party advertising networks, such as Google AdSense.
Important Google AdSense Disclosures:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to your website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
- Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- Alternatively, users can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
6. Standard Server Log Files
Like virtually all modern web hosting platforms and global Content Delivery Networks (CDNs like Cloudflare), standard HTTP server logs may temporarily capture basic technical data when web assets are requested. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, date/time stamps, and operating system identifiers.
This telemetry is aggregated anonymously for security monitoring, DDoS mitigation, server performance optimization, and detecting broken links. It is not linked to any personally identifiable information.
7. GDPR & CCPA Data Rights Compliance
We respect the privacy rights granted to individuals under international frameworks, including the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):
- The Right to Access & Portability: You have the right to request copies of your personal data. Because we do not store personal profiles, we hold no personal data associated with individual users.
- The Right to Erasure / "Right to be Forgotten": Because we do not store identifying records, there is no personal data to delete.
- Do Not Sell My Personal Information: We do not sell, rent, trade, or monetize personal information to data brokers or advertisers.
8. Children's Online Privacy Protection (COPPA)
Protecting the safety of children online is of highest importance. Our tap tempo and metronome tools are safe, family-friendly educational resources suitable for music students and classrooms. We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13.
9. Changes to This Policy & Contact Details
We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect technological improvements or regulatory updates. Any changes will be posted directly on this page with an updated revision date.
