Audio Data

GuitarTuner.io requires microphone access to detect the pitch of your guitar strings. However, we want to be absolutely clear: we do not record, store, or transmit any audio data.

All audio processing happens entirely within your browser using Web Audio APIs. The audio data never leaves your device and is not sent to our servers or any third parties.

You can revoke microphone permissions at any time through your browser settings. The tuning functionality will not work without microphone access.

These services may use cookies and collect non-personally identifying information about your visit to our website.
