Chordwell: privacy
Last updated 30 October 2026
Chordwell is a chord instrument you play with one finger: it suggests the next chord and shows what each one does.
It is a small Android app I build on my own (com.growingpeas.chordpad on Google Play).
This page says what it keeps, what leaves your phone, and why it asks for each permission. The
controller is Lawrenza SRL, trading as Growing Peas; full details are on the legal notice.
What leaves your phone
- Purchases. Full Chordwell is a one-time purchase handled by Google Play. Google processes the payment under its own privacy policy; I receive no card details, only the order record Google shares with every developer (order number, product, price and country).
- What you choose to send. Writing to me from the settings goes through the mail app you pick, only when you tap it.
Every sound is made on the phone itself: playing needs no connection. There is no account, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising, no crash reporting and no server of mine. The app contains no third-party tracking code and never records sound.
What stays on your phone
- Your settings: key, sounds, levels, voicing, and the option each chord key was left on.
- Whether you unlocked the full app, so it opens in your own key before Google Play answers.
The app opts out of Android's app backup, so none of this is copied to your Google account.
Permissions
- Internet and network state: used only by Google Play, for the purchase.
The app never asks for your microphone, your location, your contacts or your files.
Deleting your data
Everything is on your phone, so you delete it there: Settings, Apps, Chordwell, Storage, Clear storage, or by uninstalling. I hold no copy to delete.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13.
