Privacy Policy

1. Overview

AudioForges ("we", "us") provides free audio tools including YouTube-to-audio conversion and audio analysis. This policy explains what data we collect when you use our site and tools.

2. Information we collect

URLs and files you submit: when you use our converter or analyzer, the YouTube URL or audio file you submit is sent to our backend server to process your request. We do not permanently store the audio files or URLs you submit — they are processed and discarded.

Usage analytics: we use Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns (pages visited, approximate location, device type). This data is anonymized and not tied to your identity.

Advertising cookies: we display ads through Adsterra, which may set cookies to show relevant ads. These third parties may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites.

3. Third-party services

We use the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies: Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Adsterra, and our hosting providers (Vercel for the site, VPS Dime for backend processing).

4. Cookies

We use cookies for basic site functionality and, via our advertising partners, to serve relevant ads. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality and ad relevance.

5. Your rights

You may request information about data we hold or request deletion by contacting us at the email listed on our Contact page.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
