Privacy Policy
Last Updated: August 28, 2026
1. Introduction
At Online Song Finder (accessible at onlinesongfinder.com), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any information processed while using our song identification services. This Privacy Policy explains what data we process, how it is used, and your rights regarding your information.
2. Audio Data & Microphone Permissions
When you use our Microphone Listener or Audio Upload feature:
- Temporary Processing: Microphone audio streams and uploaded files are captured solely in your browser to generate acoustic fingerprints for song identification.
- No Permanent Storage: We do not store, archive, or retain your raw voice or audio recordings on our servers after the song matching request completes.
- Browser Permission: Microphone access requires your explicit browser permission and can be revoked at any time in your browser settings.
3. Video Links & Media Audio Analysis
When you submit a public video or media link to identify a background track:
- Only short audio fragments required for recognition are processed temporarily by our API server.
- Temporary audio clips are automatically deleted from server memory immediately after processing.
4. Cookies and Advertising Partners (Google AdSense)
We use local storage (such as localStorage) to save non-personally identifiable site preferences (e.g., your selected light or dark mode theme).
Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites on the Internet:
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or by visiting aboutads.info.
5. Third-Party Services & Music Catalogs
Our service queries reputable third-party APIs and open metadata registries (such as AcoustID acoustic matching endpoints, MusicBrainz music catalogs, and official media discovery search providers) to return accurate song details, album artwork, and streaming previews. These third-party services operate under their own independent privacy terms.
6. User Rights (GDPR & CCPA Compliance)
Because we do not require account creation, registration, or persistent storage of personal data, we do not hold personal identification profiles. However, users retain full rights to request information or inquire about data practices by contacting us.
