Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how relaxrelaxingmusic.com ("we," "us," or "the Site") handles information when you visit. We keep it deliberately simple: there are no accounts, no ads and no tracking cookies, and we never sell anything about you.

Visit counting

We count visits with privacy-friendly analytics that sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device. It records which pages are viewed, where visits come from (such as a search engine), the country, the type of device and browser, and how long a page stays open. Your IP address isn’t stored: visitors are counted with an anonymous code that changes every day, so no personal profile is created. This data is kept for up to 180 days on Cloudflare, which hosts it for us, and isn’t shared with anyone else.

No advertising

The Site shows no ads and uses no advertising or tracking cookies.

Videos

Some pages include music videos from our YouTube channel. Nothing is loaded from YouTube until you press play on a video. When you do, the video plays in YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode and is served by YouTube (Google), which may then store data on your device under its own privacy policy. The “YT” button in the video player simply opens that video on YouTube.

Fonts and one graphics library

The Site’s typefaces are hosted on the Site itself, so opening a page sends nothing to Google or any other font service. One page, The Firmament, loads a 3D graphics library (three.js) from Cloudflare’s cdnjs service, so your browser asks cdnjs for that file when you open that page.

What stays in your browser

A few small settings are saved in your own browser’s storage and never sent to us: whether you chose the day or night look, the pitch and volume you picked for the tanpura and instruments, your saved Sound Studio mix, where you last moved and sized the video player, the filter you last chose in the music player, and (until you close the tab) which video you were watching, so you can pick it up again. The tanpura and the playable instruments make their sound inside your browser and record nothing; the microphone is never used. You can clear all of this at any time in your browser settings, and the Site will still work.

If you write to us

If you email us, or use the newsletter button (which simply opens your own email app with a message to us), we receive your email address and whatever you write. We use it only to reply or, if you asked, to send the newsletter, and you can ask us to stop or delete it at any time.

Your choices & rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you, and to object to certain processing. If you’re in the EU/EEA or UK (GDPR) or California (CCPA/CPRA), you can exercise these rights by contacting us. In practice, the only personal data we can hold is an email you sent us.

Children's privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "last updated" date above.
