Your privacy is important to us
Last updated: March 29, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to SongFinder. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our music recognition service.
By using SongFinder, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our service.
SongFinder, operated from Morocco, is the data controller for the personal data processed through this service.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide
When you use SongFinder, we may collect:
- Audio or video files you upload for song recognition
- Web addresses you provide for audio/video content
- Audio captured through your device's microphone (with your permission)
- Audio processing preferences (speed adjustments, audio processing settings)
- Audio files you load into our browser-based tools (audio trimmer, audio mixer, speed and pitch changer, BPM detector, key detector, mood detector). These files are processed entirely on your device and are never uploaded to our servers.
2.2 Automatically Collected Information
We automatically collect certain information when you use our service:
- Information about how you interact with our service
- Browser type, operating system, language preference
- Your device's internet protocol address (anonymized)
- Small data files stored on your device (see Cookies section)
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
- To analyze audio and identify music tracks
- To enhance our recognition algorithms and user experience
- To troubleshoot issues and provide customer support
- To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and technical issues
- To understand usage patterns and improve our service
4. Data Storage and Security
4.1 Data Retention
We implement a strict data retention policy:
- Uploaded audio files for recognition are deleted immediately after processing (typically within minutes)
- Enhanced/processed audio files (served via Cloudflare R2) are automatically deleted after 2 days
- Not permanently stored or linked to your identity
- Cleared when you close your browser
4.2 Security Measures
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data:
- Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/SSL)
- Secure server infrastructure with regular security audits
- Access controls and authentication for our systems
- Regular security updates and vulnerability assessments
5. Audio File Processing
5.1 Server-Side Processing (Song Recognition, Vocal Removal, Noise Removal, Reverb Removal)
For features that require server-side processing:
- We do not keep your uploaded audio files or recordings
- Files are processed in memory or temporary storage only
- Audio files uploaded for recognition are deleted immediately; enhanced audio files are deleted after 2 days
- Your audio files are never listened to or reviewed by our staff
- We do not share your audio files with any third parties
5.2 Client-Side Processing (Audio Trimmer, Audio Mixer, Speed & Pitch Changer, BPM Detector, Key Detector, Mood Detector)
These tools run entirely in your browser using the Web Audio API:
- Your audio files are never uploaded to our servers or any third-party service
- All processing (decoding, analysis, editing, mixing, exporting) happens locally on your device
- No audio data leaves your browser at any point during use of these tools
- When you close or refresh the page, all audio data is discarded from memory
6. AI and Stem Separation Technology
SongFinder uses proprietary artificial intelligence technology for certain audio processing features, specifically vocal removal, noise removal, and reverb removal. Here's how we handle AI processing:
- Our AI models are developed and managed entirely by SongFinder
- Processing results are temporarily stored on Cloudflare R2 for delivery and automatically deleted after 2 days
- AI processing is performed on our secure, encrypted infrastructure
- We do not train our models on your uploaded content
Our other tools (audio trimmer, audio mixer, speed and pitch changer, BPM detector, key detector, mood detector) do not use AI and do not send any data to our servers. They operate entirely within your browser.
8. Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services to operate our platform:
- To identify songs from audio samples
- For hosting and processing (with strict data deletion policies)
- To understand service usage (anonymized data only)
These third parties are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the specified purposes.
