Privacy Policy

1. Overview

At AudioKit, your privacy is our top priority. We've built our service with a "privacy-first" philosophy from the ground up. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you use our audio conversion and editing tools.

2. Data Collection

2.1 Personal Information

We do not collect any personal information when you use our audio conversion and editing tools. You can use AudioKit completely anonymously without creating an account or providing any identifying information.

2.2 Files and Content

We do not upload, store, or have access to your files. When you select a file for conversion or editing:

• The file remains on your local device
• All processing occurs in your web browser using WebAssembly (FFmpeg.wasm)
• The processed file is generated locally on your device
• No data is transmitted to our servers or any third-party servers

2.3 Contact Form

If you use our contact form, we collect:

• Your name (optional)
• Your email address (to respond to your inquiry)
• Your message content

This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not shared with third parties or used for marketing purposes.

3. File Processing

3.1 Client-Side Processing

AudioKit uses FFmpeg.wasm, a WebAssembly port of the popular FFmpeg multimedia framework. This technology allows us to perform complex audio processing entirely within your web browser, without any server-side processing.

Here's how it works:

1. You select a file from your device
2. The file is loaded into your browser's memory
3. FFmpeg.wasm processes the file locally using your device's CPU
4. The output file is generated in your browser
5. You download the result directly from your browser

3.2 No Server Uploads

Unlike traditional file conversion services that require uploading your files to a server, AudioKit performs all operations locally. This means:

• Your files are never transmitted over the internet
• We have no access to your file contents
• Your files cannot be intercepted during transmission
• No copies of your files are stored on any server

4. Third-Party Services

AudioKit uses the following third-party services:

4.1 Vercel (Hosting)

Our website is hosted on Vercel's infrastructure. Vercel may collect standard server logs including IP addresses, browser information, and request timestamps. See Vercel's Privacy Policy.

4.2 FFmpeg.wasm CDN

We load the FFmpeg.wasm library from a CDN (Content Delivery Network) to provide faster loading times. The CDN may collect standard access logs. No personal data or file contents are transmitted to the CDN.

4.3 Email Service (Contact Form)

When you submit our contact form, your message is sent via an email service provider. Your email address and message content are transmitted securely and used only to respond to your inquiry.

5. Your Rights

5.1 GDPR Compliance (EU Users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have certain data protection rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

• Right to Rectification: You can request correction of inaccurate data
• Right to Erasure: You can request deletion of your data
• Right to Data Portability: You can request a copy of your data

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
