Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-03

Introduction

This privacy policy explains how vinyl-rip-quality-checker.hub2.day (the “Site”) handles information when you visit or interact with it. The Site is a focused, independent web utility that helps people digitizing vinyl records evaluate whether their captured audio meets archival quality standards. This policy covers browser-local inputs, contact requests, server and security logs, cookies, local storage, advertising, and related practices.

What We Collect and Why

Browser-Local Project Inputs

The Site may let you enter or upload details about your vinyl rips (for example, sample rate, bit depth, or file characteristics) so the tool can guide your self-audit. These inputs are processed in your browser and are not transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly choose to send them (for example, by using a contact or feedback form). We do not store your project files or audio on our systems.

Contact Email

If you contact us at hello@vinyl-rip-quality-checker.hub2.day, we will use your email address and message solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add your address to marketing lists and do not share it with third parties except as required to operate basic email services.

Server and Security Logs

When you access the Site, our hosting provider may automatically log technical information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps. These logs are used for security, abuse prevention, troubleshooting, and basic analytics. They are not used to build individual profiles.

Cookies and Local Storage

The Site may use cookies and browser local storage to remember your preferences (such as display settings or consent choices) and to support core functionality. These are first-party, limited in scope, and are not used for cross-site tracking by the Site itself.

Google AdSense and Advertising

The Site uses Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site or other sites. These technologies may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, and interactions with ads.

You will be presented with a consent choice where applicable. You may withdraw or update your consent at any time through the controls provided on the Site, or by contacting us at hello@vinyl-rip-quality-checker.hub2.day.

If you are a California resident, you may have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information as defined under the CCPA/CPRA.

Service Providers

We may share limited information with service providers that help us operate the Site, such as hosting providers, email services, and analytics or advertising partners. These providers are contractually limited to using data only to perform services on our behalf and must protect it appropriately.

Data Retention

We retain server and security logs only as long as reasonably necessary for security, troubleshooting, and basic analytics, typically for a limited period defined by our hosting provider. Contact emails are retained only as long as needed to resolve your inquiry or as required by law. We do not retain your browser-local project inputs on our servers.

Children

The Site is not directed to children under 13 (or the applicable age of consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps.

Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

International Processing

If you access the Site from outside the jurisdiction where our servers or service providers are located, your information may be transferred to and processed in other countries. We take reasonable steps to ensure that such transfers are handled in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
