Privacy Policy

The short version: we keep the minimum we need to run your account and show you your progress, and we never listen to you play. Here is the longer, still plain, version.

What we collect: your email address, the display name you choose, and your practice data, meaning lesson completion, accuracy, timing stats, and settings you pick. That is it. That is the whole list. We use it to sync your progress and to show you what to practice next.

What we do not collect: your audio. Lessons and MIDI tabs are loaded and processed locally in your browser. Nothing you play leaves your machine. We have no idea if your kick is late on Tuesday. Your recordings, if you make any, are yours and stay on your device.

Your practice history lives in your browser's local storage first. That is why Drumbug keeps working offline and why a cleared browser storage can mean a lost history. If you are signed in, your progress syncs to your account so a second machine picks up where your first one left off.

Cookies: we use one cookie for your login session. It keeps you signed in while you use the site. No advertising trackers, no cross-site profiling, no third-party cookie confetti.

Third parties we rely on: Stripe for payment processing, which sees your billing details when you subscribe, and Cloudflare for hosting and delivery of the site. They each handle only the parts they need, under their own privacy policies.

Some lesson and glossary pages embed YouTube demo videos. Until you click a video, nothing loads from YouTube. Once you press play, YouTube sets its own cookies under its policy. If you would rather skip the videos entirely, close the tab and keep practicing.

Retention: we keep your account and practice data while you use Drumbug. When you want out, email support@drumbug.net from your account address and ask us to delete it. We will remove your account and associated data, and we will tell you when it is done.

Drumbug is meant for ages 13 and up. If you are under 13, get a parent or guardian to sign up and practice together. We do not knowingly collect data from younger kids.

If this policy changes, we update this page and note the change on the site when it matters to you.

Anything unclear, or a data question we did not answer? Email support@drumbug.net. We usually reply within a day, and we do not need a subject line to match a template.
