Privacy Policy

Effective: March 2025 · Last updated: March 2025

Vocal Clip ("we", "us", "our") is committed to transparency about the data we collect and how we use it. This policy applies to vocalclip.com and all subdomains.

1. What we collect

Voice clips

When you record and save a clip, the audio file and a small metadata record (creation date, expiry date, file size, duration, play count, and a private delete token) are stored on our servers. Clips are identified by a randomly generated ID and are not linked to any account or personal identity.

Waitlist emails

If you sign up for our waitlist, we store your email address. We use it solely to notify you when new features launch. We do not send unsolicited marketing emails or share your address with third parties.

Analytics

We use Umami, a privacy-first analytics tool. Umami does not use cookies, does not track users across sessions, and does not collect personally identifiable information. Data is aggregated (page views, referrers, device types) and used only to understand usage patterns.

Advertising

The free tier is supported by Google AdSense. Google may use cookies and similar technologies to serve personalised ads based on your browsing history. Please refer to Google's advertising policies for full details. You can opt out of personalised advertising via Google Ads Settings.

2. How we use your data

  • To store and serve audio clips via unique share links.
  • To track play counts and display them on the share page.
  • To enforce expiry and automatically delete clips after 30 days.
  • To notify waitlist subscribers when paid plans launch.
  • To understand aggregate usage patterns and improve the product.

3. Data retention

  • Voice clips: Automatically deleted after 30 days, or sooner if deleted by the owner using the private delete link.
  • Waitlist emails: Retained until you ask us to remove them. Email hello@vocalclip.com to be removed at any time.
  • Analytics data: Retained in aggregated, anonymised form.

4. Third-party services

  • Val Town — hosting and serverless infrastructure provider.
  • Google AdSense — advertising on the free tier.
  • Umami — cookieless, privacy-first analytics.
  • LottieFiles — animation assets loaded from lottie.host.
  • unpkg.com — CDN for the Lottie web component script.

5. Your rights

You can delete any clip you've recorded at any time using the private delete link provided after saving. To request removal of your waitlist email or any other personal data, contact us at hello@vocalclip.com.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in an updated "last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of Vocal Clip after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
