Privacy & Cookie Policy

This policy explains how the current LyricsWala website handles information when you visit it. It reflects the features available today.

Information you provide

Publishing lyrics requires sign-in with Google or an email one-time code. We receive the account identifier, email address, and any name or profile image provided by the sign-in method to recognize your session. Google sign-in requests basic profile information only. Email codes are sent through Resend and expire after five minutes. When you publish, we store your song details, lyrics, and uploaded image and show them publicly. If you email us, we receive the information you choose to include and use it to respond or review a content concern.

Contributor records

We retain a contributor account identifier with each submission to help manage misuse and rights concerns. A daily submission counter limits uploads; its key is derived from the account identifier. Your email is not shown on public song pages. Public lyrics and photos remain available until removed by us or at your request where applicable.

Search and theme preference

Catalogue searches send song or artist text to our server and, when you ask for an Internet match, to the selected music catalogue. This search text is not stored in our analytics. The blue or red theme choice is saved in your browser's local storage so the website can remember it on your next visit. You can clear it using your browser's site-data controls.

Website analytics and lyrics tasks

We use first-party analytics to count page views, clicks, traffic-source hostnames, broad country and device categories, and anonymous browser sessions. A random session identifier is stored in session storage and hashed on the server; it is not an account name or email. Reports cover the last 90 days. Older event records are periodically removed as the website is used. Reports are available only to the website owner. We do not collect typed lyrics, search query text, full IP addresses or login codes in analytics. We respect Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control browser preferences. Clearing or closing browser sessions may change visitor counts. Lyrics-task drafts are stored on your device until submitted or cleared; publishing stores the lyrics publicly with your contributor record.

Technical information

Hosting and security providers may process routine request information, such as IP address, browser details, requested page, and time of access, to deliver and protect the website. The site also loads fonts from Google Fonts, which can receive browser request information when those font files are fetched.

Cookies and advertising

LyricsWala uses Google AdSense for advertising once Google approves the site. Google may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads. Ad placements may be selected automatically within pages. Boxes labeled “Advertisement space” remain placeholders until ads serve. Hosting services may use strictly necessary technical cookies or similar mechanisms. Analytics uses a first-party session identifier as described above. Learn how Google uses data on partner sites at Google's partner sites policy.

Sharing and retention

We do not sell information you send to us. We may share information with service providers that help operate the website or when required by law. Emails you send are kept as needed to handle your request and related records; technical logs are handled under the hosting providers' practices.
