Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Groovjam ("we", "us", "our") operates the website and service available at groovjam.com. Groovjam is a gesture-controlled music platform that lets you play music using your body movements via a webcam.

For any privacy questions, contact us at: privacy@groovjam.com

2. What Data We Collect

Account data

When you register, we collect your email address and a hashed password. We do not store passwords in plain text.

Camera and body tracking

Groovjam uses your webcam to detect body movements. All camera processing runs entirely in your browser using MediaPipe technology. We do not transmit, store, or process any camera images or video on our servers. No biometric data ever leaves your device.

Usage data

We may collect anonymous usage data such as session duration, features used, and error logs to improve the service. This data cannot identify you personally.

Payment data

Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card details. Stripe provides us only with a customer ID and subscription status. See Stripe's Privacy Policy.

Recordings

When you use the recording feature, recordings are created and saved directly to your own device as a local file download. We do not store, upload, or have access to your recordings.

3. How We Use Your Data

• To create and manage your account
• To process subscription payments via Stripe
• To provide and improve the Groovjam service
• To send you transactional emails (account confirmation, payment receipts)
• To respond to support requests

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising.

4. AI Conductor

Paid plans include an AI Conductor feature powered by OpenAI (GPT-4o-mini). When active, anonymised musical state data (tempo, scale, energy levels — no personal information, no audio, no video) is sent to OpenAI to generate musical suggestions. No personally identifiable information is included in these requests. See OpenAI's Privacy Policy.

5. JAM / Multiplayer Rooms

When you use JAM mode, a peer-to-peer WebRTC connection is established directly between players. Audio and video streams travel directly between participants and are not routed through or stored on our servers. Our server handles only the initial connection signalling (small text messages with no media content).

6. Cookies

We use a minimal set of cookies:

• Session cookie — keeps you logged in (expires when you close your browser or after 30 days)
• Preference cookies — remembers your instrument settings, zones, and FX configuration (stored in localStorage)

We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking pixels.

7. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or financial compliance purposes (e.g. billing records, which Stripe retains per their legal obligations).

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your account and associated data
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Port your data in a machine-readable format

To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@groovjam.com. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Data Security

We use HTTPS encryption for all data in transit. Passwords are hashed using industry-standard algorithms. Database access is restricted and credentials are not stored in source code. Despite these measures, no internet transmission is 100% secure.

10. Children

Groovjam is suitable for users aged 10 and over in Explorer mode. However, the service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 without parental consent. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by email or by a notice on the platform. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects when the policy was last revised.
