Local Processing

All MIDI processing (playback, editing, conversion, visualization, analysis) happens entirely in your browser using Web Audio API, Tone.js, and other client-side technologies. Your files never leave your device.

Server-Side Data

The minimal data we collect (account information, analytics) is stored securely:

• Encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS)
• Secure database with access controls
• Regular security audits
• Industry-standard encryption for sensitive data

However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Services

We may use the following third-party services:

• Authentication: For secure account login (e.g., OAuth providers)
• Analytics: Privacy-focused analytics to understand usage patterns
• Payment Processing: Secure payment providers (e.g., Stripe) for premium features
• CDN: Content delivery networks to serve static assets faster

These services have their own privacy policies and data handling practices.
