Privacy

In plain words: what GuitarQuest keeps, and what it doesn't.

Playing as a guest

Without an account, everything stays in your browser on this device: your stars, scores, badges, goal song and nickname. Nothing is sent to the server. Clearing your browser's site data erases it, so save a backup file from your profile if you want a copy.

Your microphone

The game listens to your guitar to check chords and timing. The sound is analyzed inside your browser as you play. It is never recorded, saved or sent anywhere.

If you make an account

We keep:

  • Your username, email address and birthday.
  • Your password, stored only as a salted hash that can't be turned back into the password.
  • Your game progress, so it syncs between your devices.
  • For each signed-in device: a short label like "Chrome on Windows", when it signed in and when it was last active. Sign-in tokens are stored only as hashes.

Your email is only used to send password-reset links and a notice when your password changes. It's never shown to anyone else, sold or used for marketing.

What we don't collect

No IP addresses are stored, and there are no ads, analytics or trackers.

Ages

Accounts are for ages 13 and up. Younger players are welcome to play as guests; their progress stays on their own device and nothing about them reaches the server. GuitarQuest has no public profiles, chat or leaderboards, so nothing you do is shown to other players.

Your controls

  • Download my data (Profile, then Your data) gives you everything kept about your account as one file.
  • Devices lists every signed-in device and lets you sign any of them out.
  • Delete my account permanently removes your account and synced progress from the server.

Where it lives

GuitarQuest is a free hobby project. Account data is kept on a server run by the site's owner, in files only the app can read.
