Privacy

Signing in is handled by Clerk, and your email address and password live with them, not here. This site keeps only the account id Clerk gives it, the handle you choose, and the date you accepted the contributor licence.

Your handle is public. It appears on every chart you publish and atnnscharts.com/u/your-handle, which is the point of it.

Charts you write are saved on your device first, in your browser’s own storage, so they open with no signal. When you are signed in they also sync to the server — including private ones, because that is what makes them reach your other devices. Private means other people cannot see it; it does not mean it is only on your phone.

A published chart is a fixed copy that anybody can read, with your handle on it. Every version you publish is kept, so a band playing from one is not handed a different chart than the one they rehearsed.

A setlist holds its name, the running order, the key each song is played in, and any notes. It can also hold a venue and a date — which, taken together with your handle, says where a named person will be on a given night. That is more revealing than anything else on this site, so: sets are private unless you share one, and a shared set deliberately leaves out the venue and the notes.

Which charts you have saved, and which version of each you last read, so it can tell you when an author has revised one. Which charts you have vouched for. Nothing about which pages you looked at, and no analytics or advertising trackers of any kind.

In your browser it keeps your charts (an IndexedDB store callednns-charts) and two small settings: your notation preferences and whether the phone palette is open. Signing out does not clear your charts from the device — clear the site’s data in your browser if you want them gone from a machine that is not yours.

When you open the publish sheet, the song title and artist you typed are sent to Apple’s public iTunes Search API to suggest a genre. Nothing about you goes with it, and if the request fails the sheet simply does not suggest anything.

The site runs on Vercel with a database at Neon. Both necessarily process what they host, and both see the ordinary technical records any web host does.

A copyright notice is stored exactly as sent, with the contact details on it, so the notice and its date can be produced later if the claim is ever disputed. That is the purpose of keeping it, and it applies whether or not the sender has an account. See the copyright claim page.

You can delete a chart or a set yourself at any time, and unpublish a chart to take it out of the library.

To close your account entirely, email grant@nnscharts.com and it will be done by hand. There are two self-serve routes as well: on the website, the account menu at the top right, then Manage account and Delete account; in the iPad app, the account screen behind the same disc, which asks for your password again before it does anything.

One thing to know before you ask: charts you published stay published, credited to a closed account. Bands have them in setlists and are playing from them, and pulling those out from under a gig is the one thing account closure must not do. Your drafts, your sets and your handle all go. If you want a published chart gone too, unpublish it first, or say so and it will be removed with the rest.

NNScharts is not aimed at children under 13 and does not knowingly keep accounts for them. If one exists, say so and it will be removed.

If this page changes in a way that affects what is collected, the change will be announced rather than quietly published.
