About anysound.org

AnySound creates sound effects from text prompts. This policy describes generation, account and support features on this website.

For privacy questions or requests, contact support@anysound.org.

Text generation

When you submit a text-generation request, your prompt and generation settings are sent to KIE to create the sound. Our server queries the task and fetches its result for preview and download. KIE receives these inputs and produces the generation results.

To provide task history and recovery, we store your prompt, settings, task status, provider task ID and safe error codes in the database associated with your account. We do not store generation credentials or raw provider responses. Generated MP3 files are stored privately in Cloudflare R2 with their file size and reported duration. History and downloads are restricted to the owning account; the account-deletion flow removes these generated objects and associated rows. You can also download copies to your own device.

Account uploads

If you deliberately upload a file or avatar through your account, we process and store that file and the information needed to associate it with your account. Avoid submitting sensitive information in support messages or account files unless needed for your request.

Other information we handle

• Account information: If you create or use an account, we process information such as your name, email address, profile image, and sign-in records. If you choose Google sign-in, Google provides the profile information permitted by that sign-in flow; we do not receive your Google password.
• Support messages: If you email us, we receive the name, email address, message, and any attachments you choose to send, so that we can respond.
• Technical information: Our hosting and security systems may process IP addresses, request times, requested URLs, browser information, and error records to deliver the website, diagnose problems, and address abuse. This is separate from generation inputs.
• Preferences: We use browser storage for sign-in, language, theme and unsent sound-effect drafts, as explained in the Cookie Policy.

Why we use this information

We use information to provide account and file features, respond to support requests, send relevant account notices, maintain website security, and investigate technical problems. Where applicable law requires a legal basis, processing is based on providing a requested service, legitimate operational or security interests, legal obligations, or consent, as appropriate to the activity.

When newsletter delivery is enabled, the current account-registration flow adds new account emails to the product-update list. You can manage the subscription in account notification settings or ask us to unsubscribe you.

Payments and credit records

Stripe hosts checkout and processes payment details. We store customer, subscription, checkout and invoice identifiers, payment state, and credit grants, usage and refund adjustments so we can provide paid access, reconcile balances and handle support requests. We do not store your full card number.

Service providers and sharing

We use providers where needed to operate the website:

• Cloudflare provides website infrastructure, database and file storage, and the configured transactional email service.
• KIE provides sound effect generation when you submit a text prompt.
• Stripe processes checkout, subscriptions and refunds.
• Google processes authentication when you choose Google sign-in.
• Resend processes subscriber email addresses when the product-update mailing service is configured and used.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share relevant information with service providers to perform the functions above, or when reasonably necessary to meet legal obligations, protect security, or respond to a valid legal request. Providers may process information in countries other than your own; their linked policies explain their practices.

The current preview configuration does not enable analytics, advertising, or live-chat tracking. We will update these notices before introducing new processing, including additional generation providers, and provide any required choices or consent controls.

Retention and security

Unsent sound-effect drafts stay only in the current browser tab's session storage. Account records, uploaded account files, and support correspondence are retained as needed for the relevant feature, ongoing support, security, or applicable recordkeeping requirements. We do not promise a fixed deletion period for all categories of information.

We use access controls and other safeguards appropriate to the service. No online service can guarantee absolute security. Do not send passwords or sign-in tokens in a support message.

Your choices and requests

You can change available profile and notification settings in your account, sign out, and clear browser storage. Clearing browser storage does not delete server-side account records or uploaded files.

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, export, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, or to withdraw consent where processing relies on it. Email support@anysound.org to make a request. We may need to verify your identity, and some records may need to be retained for lawful reasons.

Policy updates

We will publish changes on this page with a new revision date and provide additional notice where required. You can also read our Terms of Service.
