Terms of Service

Last updated: January 2026

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using ScrollTunes, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the service.

Description of Service

ScrollTunes is a live lyrics teleprompter designed for musicians. The service provides real-time lyrics display with automatic scrolling synchronized to your voice through voice activity detection. ScrollTunes helps performers focus on their music without manual scrolling or page turns.

Privacy and Data

ScrollTunes operates with a two-tier privacy model:

Anonymous Use

You can use ScrollTunes without creating an account. When used anonymously:

  • No server-side data storage — We do not store any user data on our servers
  • Local storage only — Preferences and cached lyrics are stored in your browser
  • No tracking — We do not use analytics, tracking cookies, or collect personal information
  • Microphone privacy — Voice detection runs entirely on your device; audio is never recorded, transmitted, or stored

Voice Features

ScrollTunes offers two distinct voice features with different privacy characteristics:

  • Voice detection — Used to start and sync lyrics scrolling. This runs entirely on your device; no audio is ever recorded or sent anywhere
  • Voice search — An optional, account-only feature that lets you search for songs by speaking. This requires sending audio to third-party speech recognition services (Google Cloud Speech-to-Text or OpenAI Whisper) for transcription

Account Holders

If you choose to create an account, you consent to the collection and processing of your data as described in our Privacy Policy, including server-side storage, analytics, and third-party processing.

For complete details, see our Privacy Policy.
