Privacy Policy | yttowav.space – GDPR & CCPA Compliant

1. Overview and Core Philosophy

At yttowav.space, we believe in radical simplicity and data minimization. We do not require account registration, passwords, names, or email addresses to convert audio files. You can use our tool completely anonymously.

This Privacy Policy outlines how our web application operates, our transient file storage lifecycle, and how third-party advertising services (such as Google AdSense) utilize cookies.

2. Ephemeral Media Storage Lifecycle

We do not maintain permanent storage of audio files. When you request a conversion:

The media stream is processed in real time by our transcoding pipeline.
The resulting WAV or MP3 file is assigned a temporary token for your browser to download.
Automated Purge: Every file is permanently wiped from our server memory and disk within 30 minutes, regardless of whether you download it.
We do not build databases, profiles, or listening histories tied to individual visitors.

3. Advertising Partners & Google AdSense Cookies

yttowav.space is funded by third-party advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google AdSense, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites on the internet.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to yttowav.space and/or other sites on the Internet.
Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
Alternatively, users can opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info.

4. Server Log Files

Like almost all standard web servers, yttowav.space records basic technical log entries to safeguard against DDoS attacks, automated malicious scraping, and server faults. These logs include:

Internet Protocol (IP) address (anonymized in log rotation)
Browser user-agent string and operating system type
Timestamp of access and HTTP status code returned

These logs are retained solely for operational diagnostics and cybersecurity defenses for up to 30 days, after which they are automatically rotated and purged.

5. Local Browser Storage

Our site utilizes modern HTML5 localStorage purely to remember your selected visual preference (Light theme or Dark theme). This preference string stays on your device and is never transmitted to our servers or shared with third parties.

6. Children's Online Privacy Protection (COPPA)

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. yttowav.space is directed at general audiences and does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13.

7. GDPR and CCPA Privacy Rights

Under data protection regulations such as the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), users possess rights regarding their personal data.

Because we do not collect personal accounts, user profiles, or permanent identifiers, we typically do not hold data tied to your real identity. If you have any inquiries regarding data protection, please reach out via our contact channels.
