By using Tune Harbor, you agree to these terms.

What Tune Harbor Is

Tune Harbor is a music sharing platform where users share one song per day with friends. We connect to Spotify and Apple Music to search for and link to songs. We do not host or stream music ourselves. The only audio we store is the voice notes you record (see the Privacy Policy below).

Your Account

You sign in with Google or Apple. Signing in only confirms who you are — no music account is ever connected to log in. You are responsible for your account and for keeping your login secure. You must be at least 13 years old to use Tune Harbor.

Content and Your License to Us

You can share one song per day and add optional notes, voice notes, and comments. None of these may contain harassment, hate speech, or illegal content. You keep ownership of the notes, voice notes, and comments you make and the picks you make. By posting, you grant Tune Harbor a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, display, and share that content within the app — including on public share pages and in the share images the app generates — solely to operate the service. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies already shared by others or retained in backups for a limited time.

We may remove content or suspend accounts that violate these terms.

Featuring You in Our Marketing

We will never use your username, your photo, or anything you posted in our advertising or promotional material unless you turn it on yourself. The license above is limited to running the app; it does not let us put you in an ad.

If you want to be included, there is a single switch in Settings → Featured in our marketing. Turning it on is your written consent for Tune Harbor to use your username, profile photo, the songs you have shared, and the notes you wrote alongside them in our own promotional material — on Instagram and other social platforms, in paid advertising, on our website, and in app store listings. We record the date you turned it on.

You can turn it off at any time, and we will stop using your content in anything new. We may not be able to pull it back out of material already published or paid for, so a switch you flip today applies going forward, not backward. We never sell your content to anyone else, and we never let another company advertise with it.

Aggregate numbers that identify nobody — how many people posted this morning, how many songs are in the Log — are not covered by this and we may always use them.

Objectionable Content & Conduct

There is zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behavior. Harassment, hate speech, threats, and illegal content are prohibited. Songs, comments (including voice notes), and profiles can be reported from inside the app, and you can block any user to stop seeing their content and end any connection with them. We review reports and act on them — typically within 24 hours — by removing content and, where warranted, suspending accounts. To report content or a user you can also email hello@tuneharbor.com.

Copyright & DMCA

Tune Harbor links to songs on Spotify and Apple Music and does not host music. The only audio we host is the short voice notes people record in the app. If you believe content in the app (such as a note, voice note, or image) infringes your copyright, email hello@tuneharbor.com with a description of the work, the location in the app, your contact information, and a good-faith statement. We will respond to valid notices and remove infringing material.

No Warranty

Tune Harbor is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do our best to keep it running but make no guarantees about uptime, availability, or that the service will be error-free.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tune Harbor and its operator are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the past twelve months — which, because Tune Harbor is free, is zero.

Termination

You may stop using Tune Harbor and delete your account at any time from Settings. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Massachusetts. Tune Harbor is available to users worldwide, and you are responsible for complying with the laws of your own location.

Changes

We may update these terms. Continued use after changes means you accept the new terms.

What We Collect

• Your email address and name, from the sign-in you choose — Google or Apple — and, if your account provides one, your profile photo. That's all we take from Google or Apple: enough to confirm it's you and set up your profile. Your name is never shown in the app; we use your first name only to suggest a username when you join.
• Your username, bio, favorite genres, and a profile photo if you upload one (you choose these)
• If you add them, your birthday (month and day only, never the year), your home port, and your school. These appear on your profile; leave them blank and nothing is stored.
• The songs you share (title, artist, album, artwork, platform, and any note), and the anthem you pick for your profile
• The comments and replies you write, and any messages you send in a fleet's group chat
• Voice notes: if you record one on a post or a comment, we store the recording (30 seconds at most) in private storage. The microphone is used only after you tap record, and a take you discard never leaves your device. A voice note can be played only by signed-in people who can already see the post or comment it belongs to. Deleting the comment, removing the voice note from your post, or deleting your account deletes the recording.
• A rough location for each song you post: the city and region that your internet connection's IP address points to, plus your device's time zone. It comes from the connection, not your device's GPS, and is stored privately. It is not shown to anyone, not used for ads, and is deleted with the post or your account.
• Your friend connections, the reactions you send, your daily harpoon vote, and, if you joined through someone's invite link, who invited you
• Which songs you play a preview of — recorded so the poster can see their song was heard. This is visible only to the poster, never shown publicly.
• If you connect Apple Music (in Settings, in the composer, or when you export a playlist): the authorization token Apple issues when you approve. We store it privately and use it for two things only: creating playlists you asked for, and letting your device play full tracks with your own Apple Music subscription. Note: Apple's permission screen is all-or-nothing and mentions your media library and listening activity; we never read either. Disconnecting in Settings or deleting your account deletes the token.
• If you turn notifications on in the app: your device's push token and timezone, stored so we can deliver the notifications you chose (each category has its own toggle). Turning notifications off, signing out, or deleting your account removes them.

What We Don't Collect

• Your listening history, media library, or existing playlists — from Spotify or Apple Music. There is no music-service login, and even when you authorize an Apple Music export, we only ever create the playlist — we never read anything
• Your Google contacts, calendar, or anything beyond your name, email, and profile photo
• Your precise location. Tune Harbor never asks for location permission or reads your device's GPS
• Your contacts
• Any audio other than the voice notes you choose to record and post
• We do not sell your data to anyone

What's Public

Tune Harbor lets you share song picks with friends and through share links. Your username, profile photo, bio, the songs you post, your anthem, and any home port or school you add can be viewed on public profile and song pages (for example, when a friend shares a link), including by people who aren't logged in. Your birthday (month and day only) is shown only to you and your friends. The share images the app generates may include your pick, your note, and your profile photo. If you make your profile private, your songs, anthem, home port, and school are shown only to your friends.

Comments are signed with your username. On a public sailor's post, the comment thread is open to their friends and to any public sailor who has posted that day; on a private sailor's post, only their friends can read or write. Voice notes follow the same rules as the post or comment they are attached to.

Reaction counts and who reacted are visible to anyone who can see a post: they see how many of each emoji it got and the usernames of the sailors who reacted. If your profile is private, people outside your crew see only a number, never your name. The poster sees everyone who reacted to their song. Your preview-listen activity is visible only to the poster. Your harpoon vote is sealed while the day is open; once the day settles, the sailor whose song you harpooned can see that you did. Don't post anything in a note, comment, or voice note that you wouldn't want to be public.

How We Use Your Data

We use your data to run Tune Harbor — showing your songs to friends, powering share pages and share images, building playlists you export, displaying profiles, and keeping the service working and secure. We also use privacy-friendly, aggregate analytics (see below) to understand how the app is used. We don't use your data to advertise to you, and we don't sell it.

Analytics & Cookies

We use Vercel Web Analytics, which measures page views and general usage in aggregate. It is cookieless and does not build an advertising profile of you or track you across other sites. We also record a small set of product events on our own servers to understand which features work: for example, that you opened the app or a screen that day, tapped a notification, tapped a share button, played a voice note, or that a share page was viewed. Each event records what happened, when, and sometimes the post or screen involved; it does not include your IP address or device details. These events are tied to your account when you're signed in, are never shared with third parties, and are deleted with your account. The only cookies we set are the ones the app needs to work — keeping you logged in and remembering your local date and time zone — and there are no advertising or third-party tracking cookies, so there's no cookie banner to click through.

Where Your Data Goes (Third Parties)

We share data only with the service providers that make Tune Harbor run:

• Supabase — database, authentication, and file storage (stores your account, your content, and your voice notes)
• Vercel — hosting and aggregate analytics; Vercel also supplies the rough city and region of each request, described above
• Google / Apple — sign-in; Apple's push service, if you turn notifications on; and, if you choose, Apple Music
• Spotify & Apple Music — song search, 30-second previews, and links out to the full song. Search runs through our own server using an app-level key; no account of yours is involved.
• KLIPY — GIF search in comments. Your search words are sent from our server, not linked to your account; the GIFs themselves load from KLIPY.

If you export a playlist to Apple Music, you authorize that with Apple at that moment and Apple's privacy policy applies.

Data Storage & Retention

Your data is stored securely on Supabase (database) and Vercel (hosting), both industry-standard platforms with encryption at rest and in transit. We keep your data for as long as your account exists. When you delete your account, your profile, posts, comments, voice notes, reactions, friendships, listen records, post locations, and any stored Apple Music token are removed; residual copies in encrypted backups age out over a limited period.

Your Rights

You can access and update your profile in the app, and you can permanently delete your account and all associated data at any time from Settings. Depending on where you live (including the EU/UK under GDPR and California under the CCPA), you may also have the right to request a copy of your data, correct it, or object to certain processing. We don't sell personal data. To make any of these requests, email us at the address below.

Deleting Your Data

You can delete your account at any time from Settings. This permanently removes your data, including posts, comments, voice notes, reactions, friend connections, listen records, and any stored Apple Music authorization.

Children

Tune Harbor is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, contact us and we will remove it.
