Privacy at Rhythm Recess

Practice on your device

Student names, optional teacher names and email addresses, practice reports, bookmarks, settings, timing adjustments and personal records are saved locally in the app or browser. Student check-in is a local profile, not a cross-device login. Teacher information is not sent to the leaderboard. Reports are shared only when you choose to export or share them using your device.

Microphone and MIDI

Microphone permission is optional. The app processes live microphone samples on your device to detect clap timing. It does not record or upload microphone audio. MIDI notes are used to detect your input. Leaderboard scores identify the input method, but do not include audio or a MIDI recording. You can disconnect the microphone in game settings or revoke permission in device/browser settings.

Optional public leaderboard

Joining creates an anonymous account with our database provider, Supabase. We store a persistent account identifier, your chosen public nickname, tempo division, best completed beat, input method, timing error on that beat and score date. Your nickname and score details are visible to other players. Use a nickname without your real name, email, school or other personal details. Once joined, improved scores sync automatically. Daily competition stores a dated best score and run progress separately from your all-time best. Daily scores reset at midnight New York time; historical daily records remain stored until account deletion or operator removal. Daily results must sync before the reset. Local progress can be queued for upload while offline.

Supabase receives connection information such as your IP address when you use the online service. Our website hosting provider also receives ordinary web-request information. These providers process requests to operate the service. The app does not include advertising or third-party behavioral analytics.

Retention and your choices

Local practice information remains until it is removed from app/browser storage. Removing the app or clearing browser data may erase your local progress and access to your anonymous account. Pausing leaderboard sharing stops future submissions; it does not remove existing public scores.

To request removal of leaderboard information or help with a lost anonymous account, email wesleylamontstevenson@gmail.com. Include the nickname and tempo division, but never send access tokens or passwords. We may need to verify which record belongs to you. Where the in-app Delete leaderboard account control is available, it removes that account and its shared scores while keeping local practice progress. Service backups or operational logs may remain according to provider retention practices.
