Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

At SongRecogniser ("songrecogniser.com", "we", "our", or "us"), we respect your personal privacy. This Privacy Policy details the types of information we collect when you visit our website, how that information is handled, and your rights concerning your personal data.

2. Audio Data and Microphone Usage

Our service provides music recognition through two methods: live microphone capture and audio/video file uploads.

• Live Microphone Access: When you click "Tap to Listen", your browser prompts you for permission to access your microphone. Audio data is streamed temporarily for 3 to 8 seconds solely to calculate an acoustic fingerprint. We do not record voice conversations, and microphone access can be revoked at any time via your browser settings.
• File Processing: When you drag and drop video files (e.g., MP4, MOV) or audio files, the audio stream is decoded client-side using the HTML5 Web Audio API in your browser. We do not store or retain your uploaded media files on our servers.
• No Audio Retention: Audio snippets transmitted for database matching are processed in memory and purged immediately after the recognition request completes.

3. Automatically Collected Log Data

Like most websites, our web servers automatically collect standard web server logs. This information may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, date/time stamps, and basic diagnostic information to maintain platform stability and protect against malicious traffic.
