AudilyNow Privacy Policy
Operator: [AudilyNow operating entity — to be finalized]
1. What this policy covers
AudilyNow (“we”, “us”, “our”) is a custom-AI-song service. You provide a creative brief, we generate a song using AI, and you pay $10 to receive the delivered MP3 and a shareable page. This policy describes the personal data we collect, why, how we use it, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and what rights you have over it.
It does not apply to third-party services we link to or integrate with (e.g. Stripe), which have their own privacy policies (see Section 5).
2. What personal data we collect, and why
2.1 At registration
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Email address | Account identifier, login, transactional email |
| Username | Account identifier |
| Password (hashed) | Authentication |
| Full name | Display name; printed on shareable pages if you opt in |
| Date of birth | Age verification (we do not accept users under 13) |
| Gender (optional) | Default voice persona suggestions; never sold or shared |
We do not collect government IDs, social security numbers, financial account numbers, health information, location data, or biometric data at registration.
2.2 When you place an order
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Recipient name (if provided) | Personalizing the song |
| Occasion / story / dedication text | Input to the AI lyrics generator |
| Genre and mood selections | Input to the AI music generator |
| Payment information | We do not see your card number — Stripe handles all card data |
2.3 Automatic data
When you use AudilyNow, our servers automatically log your IP address (for security and abuse prevention; truncated/hashed after 30 days), user-agent string, authentication events, and order state transitions.
2.4 Cookies
The web client uses minimal cookies — only a session token. We do not use third-party analytics tags, advertising trackers, or ad cookies, and we do not sell or share personal information with advertisers.
2.5 What we DO NOT collect
- Voice samples / voice biometrics: uploading your own voice for AI cloning is not part of AudilyNow today. If we ever introduce this, it will require separate, explicit consent and an updated policy.
- Children’s data: we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13 (see Section 8).
3. How we use your data
- To create and deliver the songs you order.
- To process payments through Stripe.
- To send transactional emails (verification, receipts, refund confirmations, password resets).
- To prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
- To respond to support requests and exercise your rights (Section 7).
- To comply with our legal obligations (tax records, regulatory inquiries).
We do not use your personal data for behavioral advertising, for selling or sharing with third parties for their own marketing, or for automated decision-making with legal effects.
4. How long we keep your data
| Data | Retention |
|---|---|
| Account data | Until you delete your account, plus a 30-day grace period, after which the row is anonymized. |
| Order records | Retained for accounting and refund/dispute purposes; anonymized (disconnected from your identity) after account deletion. |
| Song requests and generated lyrics | Same as the parent order. |
| Authentication logs | 90 days. |
| Audit logs | 7 years (accounting / regulatory record-keeping). |
| Email verification / password reset tokens | Single-use; deleted after use or expiry. |
Automated retention enforcement runs nightly.
5. Who we share your data with (sub-processors)
We only share personal data with vendors who help us operate the service, each bound by a data-processing agreement.
| Vendor | What they receive | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Stripe, Inc. | Card data (direct from you, never via us), email, order amount | Payment processing |
| AudilyNow self-hosted AI | Brief text for both lyrics and music generation runs on AudilyNow’s own infrastructure. Your brief is never sent to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any external AI provider. | Lyrics + music generation |
| [email provider — to be finalized] | Email address, name, message body | Transactional emails |
We do not sell, lease, or trade your personal data, in any meaning of those terms under CCPA/CPRA, GDPR, or any similar law.
6. International data transfers
Our servers are located in [region — to be finalized]. If you are in a jurisdiction with cross-border transfer restrictions, your data is transferred and processed under an appropriate safeguard (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses).
7. Your rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you have some or all of the following rights: access, rectification, erasure (“right to be forgotten”), portability, restriction, objection, opt-out of sale/sharing (we do not sell or share for advertising), limiting use of sensitive data, and non-discrimination for exercising any of these rights.
To exercise any right, email us. We will respond within the legally required window (30 days under GDPR, 45 under CCPA). We may verify your identity before fulfilling a request.
8. Children’s privacy
AudilyNow does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 13. At registration we ask for date of birth and reject any user whose calculated age is below 13. If we discover we have collected data from a child under 13, we will delete it without undue delay. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided personal data may contact us.
9. Security
We protect your personal data with TLS encryption for all API traffic, strong password hashing (never stored or transmitted in plaintext), encryption at rest for the production database, limited access controls, and audit logging. No system is 100% secure; if a security incident affects your personal data, we will notify you and the relevant authority within the legally required windows.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the service evolves. Material changes will be announced by email and via an in-app banner at least 14 days before they take effect.
