Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Cut My Audio ("we", "our", or "us"). We provide free online browser-native audio and video editing tools. We are firmly committed to user privacy, data security, and transparency. This Privacy Policy details how we handle information when you visit and use our website at cutmyaudio.com.

2. Media Files & Audio Data

We operate on a strict privacy-by-design architecture:

• No Server Uploads: Audio, video, and image files selected for editing remain strictly in your device's memory.
• In-Browser Processing: All waveform generation, slicing, audio rendering, and exports are executed by your browser via WebAssembly (FFmpeg Wasm) and the HTML5 Web Audio API.
• No Media Retention: Once you close or reload the browser tab, your media files disappear from browser memory immediately.

3. Information We Collect

Because Cut My Audio requires no account creation, login, or subscriptions, we collect minimal operational data:

• Anonymous Usage Analytics: We may use privacy-preserving analytics to track aggregate page views, browser types, and referring sources to improve user experience. No personally identifiable information (PII) or audio content is ever collected.
• Technical Diagnostics: Standard web server access logs (such as IP addresses, timestamps, and requested assets) are temporarily retained by our hosting provider for infrastructure security and DDoS defense.
• Contact Inquiries: If you choose to contact us via email, we will only use your email address and message content to respond to your inquiry.

4. Cookies & Local Storage

We use lightweight browser storage mechanisms for essential user preferences:

• Local Storage: Used strictly to save non-sensitive settings (such as your cookie preference banner dismissal, dark mode theme preferences, or waveform zoom state).
• Cookies: Used for core site performance and anonymized visitor metrics. You can manage or disable cookies through our cookie banner or your browser settings at any time.

5. Third-Party Services & CDNs

To deliver high performance and global availability, our site utilizes trusted edge infrastructure and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to serve static assets (such as CSS, fonts from Google Fonts, and icons). These third-party CDNs may log standard IP-level traffic in accordance with their respective security policies.

6. Your Privacy Rights (GDPR & CCPA/CPRA)

We respect the global privacy rights of our users, including individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and the State of California:

• GDPR (EEA & UK Users): Because we do not collect personal profiles, accounts, or file data, no personal data processing occurs. You have the right to request clarification or lodge a query regarding any anonymous logging.
• CCPA / CPRA (California Residents): We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to data brokers or third parties for monetary consideration.

7. Children's Privacy

Our website is designed for general audiences and is safe for users of all ages. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children under the age of 13.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect technical enhancements or regulatory updates. Any changes will be posted immediately on this page with an updated "Last Updated" timestamp.
