Privacy policy

This policy explains what happens to information when you use Heartbeat Sound (heartbeatsound.com).

The main thing to know about is cookies used for advertising and analytics, covered below.

Who we are

Heartbeat Sound is a free, browser-based heartbeat sound generator, part of the Audio Tools Network. If you have any questions about this policy or your data, contact us at contact@heartbeatsound.com.

What we do and do not collect

The tool runs locally in your browser. We do not collect or store the audio you generate, and there are no user accounts, so we do not collect names, emails (unless you choose to email us), or login details. We do receive standard, non-identifying technical information through analytics and advertising providers, as described below.

Cookies

This site uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small files stored on your device. We and our third-party partners use them to understand how the site is used and to serve advertising. You can control or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some site features may behave differently if you do.

Advertising, including Google AdSense

This site shows ads to stay free. We use Google AdSense as an advertising partner. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to our site and/or other sites on the internet.

• You can learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info.

Third-party ad networks and vendors may also use cookies or identifiers to measure ad performance and limit how often you see the same ad.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to collect anonymous, aggregated usage statistics - such as which pages are visited and roughly where visitors come from - so we can improve the site. This data is not used to personally identify you. Google's handling of this data is described in its privacy policy.

Affiliate links

Some pages contain affiliate links, including Amazon Associates links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. These links help support the free tool.

No sale of personal data

We do not sell your personal information. The audio is generated locally in your browser, and we do not collect audio or account data to trade or share for profit.

Your rights (GDPR & CCPA)

If you are in the European Economic Area, the UK, or California, you have rights over your personal data - including the right to access, correct, or delete it, and to opt out of certain advertising. EU/EEA/UK users can also manage ad consent via the cookie prompts provided by our advertising partners. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@heartbeatsound.com.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date above. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
