The short version: Your audio content never reaches our servers — all sound generation happens in your browser. We collect minimal account data if you sign in, and analytics only with your consent.
What we collect
If you use the tool without an account
Nothing is stored on our servers. Your mix settings are saved in your browser's localStorage. No account, no data.
If you create an account (Google sign-in)
When you sign in with Google, we receive and store:
- Your email address
- Your display name
- Your Google profile image URL
We also store your saved mixes (the mix name and an encoded string of settings — no audio files) and your account plan status (free or premium).
If you subscribe to Premium
Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card number. We store only your Stripe customer ID and subscription status so we can verify your plan and manage renewals.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics with anonymize_ip enabled. Analytics only loads after you accept cookies via the banner. If you decline, no analytics data is collected. We track aggregate usage patterns — session starts, preset selections, share clicks — not personal identifiers.
Server logs
Our hosting provider (Netlify) collects standard server access logs (IP address, browser, request path, timestamp). These are retained according to Netlify's data retention policies and are not used for profiling.
What we don't collect
- The audio you listen to (podcasts, audiobooks, music) — it never reaches our servers
- Card numbers or full payment details — Stripe handles this entirely
- Your location beyond what Netlify logs in standard server logs
- We do not sell your data to third parties
Cookies and local storage
- Auth session cookie — set when you sign in, required for the app to work. HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax, Secure in production.
- Analytics cookies (GA) — only set after you accept the cookie banner.

Your rights
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. The fastest way to delete your account and all associated data is to use the Delete account & data option in your account menu — this immediately removes your profile, saved mixes, and session data from our database and cancels any active subscription.
