Sheet music and PDF copyright
Upload only scores you have the rights to use, or that are in the public domain. The plugin asks for confirmation when you attach a PDF and again when you make a song public. It records the WordPress user who confirmed and the time of that confirmation. Compath does not verify those rights. An arrangement or a published edition can still be copyrighted even when the composition is in the public domain.
External services
The rehearsal library works without external services. Song data, audio, and PDF scores stay on your WordPress site.
Optional feedback (under the song list): when someone sends feedback, the site server posts the request to https://rehearsal.compath.ee/api/feedback.php (Compath OÜ). The request includes the message, feedback type, name (optional), email address, WordPress role (or guest), the sender’s locale, plugin version, site home URL, WordPress version, and PHP version. Compath registers a support case and emails a confirmation to the address on the form. No token is stored in the plugin. The email is used only to answer the request.
Optional YouTube tracks (song editor): choose YouTube as a track source and paste a URL. The song page opens the official YouTube embed player (youtube.com). Playback uses YouTube’s embed; no download. Subject to YouTube Terms of Service. No YouTube API key is required for this embed.
Optional documentation link in Settings may open rehearsal.compath.ee (Compath OÜ) for help and changelog. No site or user data is sent unless you open that page in your browser.
PDF viewing uses Mozilla PDF.js bundled inside the plugin (Apache-2.0). No PDF.js CDN calls are made.
Privacy
Choir Rehearsal stores rehearsal content on your WordPress site.
When someone confirms a PDF score upload, the plugin saves that WordPress user ID and the confirmation time in the song post meta _choir_score_rights_confirmed_by and _choir_score_rights_confirmed_at. When someone confirms making a song public, it saves the same kind of record in _choir_public_rights_confirmed_by and _choir_public_rights_confirmed_at.
Uploaded PDF scores and audio files are stored in the site media library.
The optional feedback form sends the data described under External services to rehearsal.compath.ee (Compath OÜ).
Under Settings Privacy, WordPress can insert suggested policy text from this plugin for the confirmation records and uploaded files.
