Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Welcome to Vocal Archive. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use our website and web-based audio utilities. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

2.1 No Personal Accounts: Vocal Archive operates entirely without user accounts. We do not ask for, collect, or store personal identifiers such as your name, email address, phone number, or physical address.

2.2 No Audio Recording or Storage: Several of our tools (such as tuners and acoustic analysers) require microphone permissions. We do not record, intercept, or upload your audio to our servers. All microphone input is processed strictly locally within your device's web browser in real-time. We also do not permanently store or host media files you convert or download through our utilities.

3. Information We Collect

3.1 Usage and Analytics Data: We automatically collect non-personally identifiable information about how you interact with our Service. This includes pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring website addresses. We use this data strictly to analyze trends, administer the site, and improve user experience.

3.2 Device Information: We may collect generic information about the device you use to access our tools, including browser type, operating system, and anonymous IP addresses, to optimize our platform's technical performance.

4. Cookies and Analytics

4.1 Use of Cookies: Vocal Archive uses cookies (small data files stored on your device) to enhance your experience and track usage patterns. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent.

4.2 Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to measure and evaluate access to and traffic on our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect non-identifying information such as your IP address, browser type, and operating system. This data helps us create statistical reports on website activity. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to request disclosure of data collection practices, request deletion of collected data, and the right to opt-out of the "sale" of personal information. While Vocal Archive does not "sell" personal information in the traditional sense, our use of third-party analytics cookies may be considered a "sale" under CCPA. You can manage these preferences through your browser's cookie settings or by using Google's opt-out tools.

6. European Economic Area Rights (GDPR)

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have specific data protection rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to access, update, or delete the information we have on you, the right of rectification, the right to object, the right of restriction, and the right to data portability. Since we do not collect personal accounts, any requests must be tied to your specific anonymous browser cookies.

7. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

Vocal Archive does not knowingly collect or solicit any information from anyone under the age of 13. Our Service and its content are not directed at children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under age 13 without parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.

8. "Do Not Track" Signals

Vocal Archive does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" (DNT) browser signals or mechanisms. Third parties (like Google Analytics) may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use our Service.

9. Cross-Border Data Transfer

Your information, including generic analytics data, may be transferred to and maintained on computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction. By using Vocal Archive, you consent to the transfer of this data to our operating jurisdictions.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
