Privacy Policy
How Music Identifier handles information across the website at song-identify.com, the browser extension, and related tools.
Introduction
This Privacy Policy outlines the privacy practices regarding all information, data, graphics, content, software applications, the Music Identifier website (located at song-identify.com), and other Music Identifier products or services provided through the Software or the Website. Collectively, these include the Software, the Website, and any other Music Identifier services, referred to as the "Service." This Privacy Policy explains how Music Identifier handles the personal information (referred to as "Personal Information") of users collected through our Service. It applies to users who use the Service on or after the Effective Date, as well as to users who utilized the Service before the Effective Date. If you do not agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy, please refrain from using the Service.
Contact info
If you have any inquiries or feedback regarding our privacy practices or this Privacy Policy, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us. You can reach us through our social media or by sending mail to [email protected].
Acceptance of Privacy Policy
We kindly request that you carefully read through this Privacy Policy. By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to comply with all the terms and conditions stated in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, we kindly ask you to refrain from accessing or using the Service.
User accounts
The utilization of Music Identifier does not mandate the creation of a user account or the provision of any personal information.
Personal information
Music Identifier does not gather any personal information from you, such as your name or email address, as a requirement to use the core Service. Additionally, it does not collect or transmit any data related to your computer keystrokes or any other unrelated data to us or any other party. We do not utilize Google APIs to access personal information. Moreover, when installing a Music Identifier extension on a personal Google account, we do not receive any information about the user who performed the installation. Our privacy policy does not include any section on sharing personal information since we do not possess personal profile data to share from ordinary use of the Service.
If you voluntarily contact us by email or through the contact form (for example at [email protected]), we will receive the information you choose to include in that message so we can respond. That correspondence is used only to handle your request.
Website and browser-based tools
The Website at song-identify.com offers song recognition features and browser-based audio utilities (such as equalizer, trimmer, normalizer, converter, and similar tools). Many of these utilities process audio entirely in your browser: files you select for local tools are handled on your device for that session and are not uploaded to Music Identifier servers as part of the local processing workflow.
Song recognition and any feature that needs to match audio against a catalog may transmit audio data or derived fingerprints to the technical systems required to perform the match. Only what is needed for that function is processed, and it is not used to build a personal marketing profile about you.
Basic technical logs that web servers commonly generate (such as IP address, browser type, date and time of the request, and the page requested) may be created when you visit the Website. These logs are used for security, reliability, and diagnosing problems with the Service, not to identify you for advertising.
Cookies
To enhance your online experience, the Service utilizes "cookies," which are text files placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies do not have the ability to run programs or transmit viruses to your computer. They are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server within the domain that issued the cookie. We may employ cookies to collect, store, and track information for statistical purposes in order to operate our Website and Services effectively. While most web browsers automatically accept cookies, you can typically modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. However, please note that if you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully utilize the features of the Website, Services, or a particular Service.
Data
The Music Identifier extension utilizes local storage within your browser to store and retain the user's settings. All such settings data is stored offline, meaning it is saved locally within your browser and does not require an internet connection to remain available on your device.
On the Website, preferences that must persist in your browser (for example interface choices) may also use local storage or similar browser mechanisms. Audio files opened in local tools remain under your control on your device unless a feature explicitly needs network processing, such as recognition against a catalog.
Privacy of children
We also place great importance on safeguarding children when they use the internet. We strongly believe that parents should actively participate in their children's online activities and make every effort to create a secure and supportive online environment for them. The Service is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information to us, please contact us at [email protected] so we can take appropriate action.
Analytics and infrastructure
To understand how the Website is used, improve performance, and keep the Service reliable, Music Identifier may use third-party analytics and infrastructure providers, including:
- Google Analytics — to measure aggregated traffic and usage (for example pages visited, approximate geography, device type, and how visitors move through the site). Google Analytics may set cookies or use similar identifiers. You can learn more in Google’s documentation and, where available, use browser controls or Google’s opt-out tools to limit Analytics.
- Cloudflare — to deliver the Website securely and efficiently (content delivery, DNS, DDoS protection, and related network services). Cloudflare may process technical data such as IP addresses, request headers, and security logs as part of operating the network edge.
These services help us analyze overall demand, find broken pages, protect against abuse, and decide what to improve. They are configured for operating and improving the Service, not for selling a profile of your personal identity. Data processed by these providers is subject to their own privacy terms in addition to this policy.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
Music Identifier reserves the right to modify this privacy policy at any time as deemed appropriate. Whenever we make updates, we will revise the updated date displayed on this page. Where appropriate, we may also provide additional notice. We encourage users to regularly check this page for any changes to stay informed about how we protect information related to the Service. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to periodically review this privacy policy and stay informed about any modifications.

Does Mediavine share or sell my personal information for interest based advertising?
Yes, Mediavine will use, share, license, sell or otherwise disclose your personal information to our partners to enable interest based advertising to be displayed to you on this site. Through the bidstream, an online marketplace, Mediavine shares data, such as ad location, site content, and your personal information with advertisers. Using this information, advertisers bid for ad space, and the winning bidder gets to display their ad to you on this site.
Mediavine may share your personal data with partners to create a universal (unique) identifier linked to your online behavior and preferences. This identifier is added to the bid request to improve the targeting of interest based ads. Mediavine and its partners may also combine your personal data collected from your interaction with this site with your data that they have collected from other sources to create a profile of your interests and behaviors to provide interest based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers, and applications. Mediavine could also license your personal data from its partners to enrich the information in its bid request to advertisers.
