Short version: no analytics tracker runs in your browser, no ad pixels, no fingerprinting, no data brokers. A few things do touch personal data: my host's request logs, the AudioScape download counter, AudioScape's in-app Contact form, and the Discord widget. Every one of them is listed below, with what it keeps and for how long.
There's no signup, no account, and no analytics script on jayslays.tech.
- Hosting. Cloudflare hosts the site and sees standard request data like every host does: your IP address, browser user-agent, the URL you asked for, and a timestamp. It uses that to route traffic and block attacks, and gives me aggregate stats (visits, page views, rough region) that don't identify you.
- Fonts. The site's fonts load from Google Fonts, so your browser asks Google's servers for them and Google sees that request (your IP and browser info). Google's privacy policy covers it.
- Discord widget. The homepage and the AudioScape page embed Discord's official server widget. It loads from discord.com, so Discord receives your IP and browser info and can set its own cookies. That's covered by Discord's privacy policy. I get none of that data.
Cookies are covered in the Cookie policy.
The AudioScape Download button goes through a small counter at dl.jayslays.tech that tallies real downloads. To count each visitor once a day, it stores a one-way, keyed hash of your IP address (never the IP itself) for 36 hours, then it's gone. What I keep long term is just numbers: a lifetime total and daily counts. Obvious bots are never counted.
- Your library stays on your computer. Samples, presets, MIDI, tags, and the library database never get uploaded anywhere. There's no account and no usage tracking.
- Update checks. The app checks downloads.jayslays.tech (on Cloudflare) for new versions. That's a normal web request that carries your IP, and nothing about you is stored from it.
- Stem Splitter. The first time you use it, the app downloads the separation model once from Hugging Face, so Hugging Face sees that request. Your audio is never uploaded. Splitting runs on your machine.
- Contact form. A ticket, feedback, or suggestion sent from inside the app goes to my support system at support.jayslays.tech (a Cloudflare Worker with a Cloudflare D1 database). It stores your message, the subject, the kind of submission, the app version and platform, and your email address if you choose to give one (it's optional, and without it I can't reply). To stop spam it also keeps a one-way, keyed hash of your IP address (never the IP itself) for 2 days. I read and answer submissions myself. If you left an email, my reply may reach you by email, sent through Resend, my transactional email provider.
When you write to contact@jayslays.techor support@jayslays.tech, I see your email address, your name (if you signed the message), and whatever you write. My email runs on Google Workspace, so those messages live on Google's servers under Workspace's data terms.
If you join the JaySlays.Tech Discord server, Discord's own terms and privacy policy apply. To keep the server safe, my moderation bot logs moderation actions and warnings, joins and leaves, voice channel moves, and edited or deleted messages (including their content) to a staff-only log channel and a log file on my machine.
- No cross-site tracking pixels, ad networks, or retargeting.
- No session-replay tools.
- No browser fingerprinting.
- No selling, renting, sharing, or trading personal data with data brokers or advertisers. Not now, not ever.
These providers process data on my behalf, only to run the things above:
- Cloudflare: hosting, the download counter, update downloads, and the support ticket system.
- Google: email (Google Workspace) and web fonts.
- Discord: the server widget and the community server.
- Hugging Face: the one-time Stem Splitter model download.
- Resend: sending email replies to support submissions.
For visitors covered by the GDPR or UK GDPR: running and securing the site, counting downloads, and blocking spam rely on my legitimate interest in keeping these things working and safe. Handling a support message or email relies on answering the request you made. Giving me your email address is your choice.
I'm in the United States, and my providers may process data in the U.S. and other countries. Using the site or the apps means your data is processed there.
- Download-counter IP hash: 36 hours.
- Contact-form spam-check IP hash: 2 days.
- Support submissions and emails: as long as they're useful for helping you. Ask and I'll delete yours.
- Download totals: kept, but they're just numbers and identify no one.
Products with accounts have their own privacy notice covering the data they need to work. Using this site doesn't sign you up for anything.
If you're somewhere with data-protection laws (the U.S. has a patchwork of them, and the EU and UK have the GDPR and UK GDPR), you can ask me:
- What personal data of yours I hold.
- To correct anything that's wrong.
- To delete it (subject to legal retention requirements).
- To send you a copy in a portable format.
- To stop using it, if you object to how I use it.
Email contact@jayslays.tech. I'll respond within 30 days, usually faster. You also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.
This site and my current products aren't aimed at children under 13, and I don't knowingly collect their data. If you think a child has sent me personal data, email me and I'll delete it.
If any system I run is compromised and personal data is exposed, I'll notify affected people directly by email without unreasonable delay, and notify any authorities that laws (like West Virginia's breach law at W. Va. Code §46A-2A) require me to notify. This applies to the products too, not just this site.
If I change this policy, the "Updated" date at the top changes. If a change is a big deal, I'll call it out on the site.
