Privacy Policy

OpenScores Hub respects the privacy of its visitors and users. Many public areas of OpenScores can be used without creating an account, including public music resources, educational pages, and other features that do not require saved progress.

An account is required for personalized features that save information to your profile, including the OpenScores Dashboard and certain progress, practice, achievement, and account features.

If you choose to create an OpenScores account, OpenScores may receive information that you provide during signup or later through your account settings.

This may include:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Your primary instrument
• Your selected experience level
• Your account and profile preferences

Your email address and other private account information are not displayed publicly on the OpenScores leaderboard.

OpenScores uses Supabase to provide account authentication and related account services. When you create an account or log in, information such as your email address, password, and account information is processed through Supabase.

Your password is used for authentication and is not displayed publicly on OpenScores.

The OpenScores Dashboard and other account-specific pages require you to be logged in before they can be accessed.

When you use logged-in OpenScores learning and practice features, OpenScores may save information connected to your account so that your progress can appear in your Dashboard and related features.

This may include information such as:

• XP earned through OpenScores activities
• Practice streaks
• Skill attempts, accuracy, and overall progress
• Achievements or awards you unlock
• Your equipped award
• Practice Planner information
• Practice Journal activity
• Other progress needed to provide personalized account features

This information is used to provide features such as saved progress, achievements, personalized practice, statistics, and your Dashboard.

The OpenScores leaderboard is designed so that users do not have to display their real name, email address, or profile photo.

Users with an OpenScores account can choose whether they want to join the leaderboard. If you choose to participate, your public leaderboard profile may display:

• A nickname you choose
• Your equipped award
• Your XP
• Your practice streak
• Your overall progress
• Your primary instrument, only if you choose to show it

Your real name and email address are not used as your public leaderboard identity. You can choose to hide your instrument or remove your profile from the leaderboard through your account settings.

Leaderboard nicknames should not contain email addresses, phone numbers, website links, or other personal contact information.

OpenScores may receive personal information when you voluntarily contact us or submit a form through the website.

This information may include:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Your school, business, or organization
• Your reason for contacting OpenScores
• Information you choose to include in your message

You should only provide information that is necessary for your request.

Information collected or submitted through OpenScores may be used to operate the website, provide account features, save user progress, personalize the learning experience, maintain the leaderboard, and communicate with users.

This may include:

• Creating and managing OpenScores accounts
• Authenticating users when they log in
• Displaying saved Dashboard and progress information
• Providing achievements and practice features
• Operating optional leaderboard profiles
• Responding to questions or messages
• Communicating with schools requesting support

OpenScores does not sell personal information to advertisers or other organizations.

OpenScores uses third-party services to provide certain website functions.

Supabase is used for account authentication, account information, saved progress, and other database-powered OpenScores features.

Web3Forms is used to process submissions from certain contact or report forms. Information entered into those forms is transmitted through Web3Forms so that it can be delivered to OpenScores.

Third-party services may process information according to their own privacy practices and policies.

OpenScores contains links to external websites and services, including YouTube, Instagram, Google Drive, and other resources.

Once you leave OpenScores and visit another website, that website's own privacy policy and practices apply. OpenScores is not responsible for how external websites collect or use information.

OpenScores provides educational resources that may be used by younger musicians. Users should avoid sharing unnecessary personal information through account profiles, leaderboard nicknames, contact forms, or other areas of the website.

Younger users should ask a parent, guardian, teacher, or other trusted adult for help before submitting personal information online.

Users should never place private contact information such as an email address, phone number, or personal website link in a public leaderboard nickname.

This Privacy Policy may be updated as OpenScores grows, adds new account features, changes how progress is stored, adds new community features, or changes the services used to operate the website.

The date at the top of this page will be updated when significant changes are made.
