Privacy Policy
Read how Metronome BPM handles local tool settings, tuner microphone audio, optional analytics, cookies and advertising.
Last updated:
This policy explains how metronomebpm.com handles information when you use its metronome, BPM counter, tuners and music practice guides.
Using the tools
You do not need an account to use the metronome, Tap Tempo or tuners. Metronome playback, tempo calculations and pitch detection run in your browser. The metronome and Tap Tempo do not need microphone access. We do not collect practice recordings through these tools.
Microphone access
The tuner requests microphone permission only when you start tuning. Audio samples are analysed locally in your browser to estimate pitch; the tuner does not record or upload your microphone audio. Stop tuning to release the microphone, or revoke permission in your browser settings.
Local preferences
The website uses browser local storage to remember metronome settings and, where our own consent banner applies, your shared statistics and advertising choice. These preferences stay on your device. Clearing this site's browser data resets them. Google's consent service may store its own consent records.
Google Analytics and regional consent
We use Google Analytics to measure page visits, device and browser information, and general usage patterns. Google Privacy & messaging determines whether European regulations apply. Where they apply, Google's certified message manages consent for advertising and analytics. Elsewhere, a bottom banner lets you accept or reject optional statistics and advertising together. Statistics and the AdSense advertising tag remain off until the applicable choice permits them; an unknown region or an unavailable consent service does not grant consent. Google's consent service loads to determine applicability and manage choices, so this does not mean all third-party requests are blocked. Analytics may use cookies and send usage data to Google. Refusal does not prevent you from using the tools. Previously saved analytics refusals remain respected until you make a new applicable choice.
Advertising and Google cookies
This website integrates Google AdSense to help fund its free music practice tools. Its advertising script is held inactive until the applicable consent permits loading it. Where ads are served, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to show personalised ads based on those visits. Advertising providers may also use similar technologies to deliver and measure ads. A local acceptance cannot replace Google's certified consent in required regions. Use Privacy & cookie settings in the footer to revisit your choices. Withdrawing advertising permission may reload the page to stop an already-running ad tag; existing third-party cookies cannot necessarily be removed by this website.
Advertising choices
You can opt out of Google personalised advertising through Google's Ads Settings. Other participating advertising vendors offer opt-out choices through YourAdChoices. Browser cookie controls are another option, but blocking cookies alone is not a substitute for managing advertising consent. Where an advertising consent message is provided, use it to accept, reject or revisit your choices.
Hosting and external services
Cloudflare hosts this website and may process technical request information, such as IP addresses, to deliver and secure it. External resources, including the First Look badge, are loaded from their providers, which receive the information needed for those requests. Linked websites have their own privacy policies.
Messages and privacy requests
If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you include so we can respond. Do not send passwords or other sensitive information. Contact us about privacy questions, access or deletion requests, or corrections to this policy.
Policy changes
We update this policy when our tools or data practices change. The date above identifies the latest revision. Ad availability depends on Google's approval, account settings and serving conditions; an AdSense integration does not guarantee that every visitor will see ads.
