Your privacy, simply explained

Sample policy — last updated: October 28, 2026

1. Overview

MusicalSlides is a lightweight website for relaxing scenes and sounds. You can use it without an account. If you choose to, you can create an account and share links to your favourite mixes. This page explains what happens when you visit, in plain language. This is a sample policy; please adapt it to your actual circumstances and jurisdiction before publishing.

2. Information we collect

We keep only what the features you use need:

• Accounts (optional): your name, email address and a securely hashed password. If you sign in with Google, we store your Google account ID and the name and email Google shares with us.
• Share links: the scene, music and effect you chose, when the link expires (7 days by default; up to 7 days without an account and up to 90 days with one) and how many times it was opened. Links you create while signed in are linked to your account so you can extend or revoke them. Expired and revoked links are deleted about a week later.
• Your photos (optional): photos you add to your own MusicalSlides, with their size and order. We remove location and camera details when you add them. They are stored privately and shown only to you and to people who open a share link you created. Deleting a MusicalSlides deletes its photos.
• Your music links (optional): SoundCloud links you add to My music and their titles. To check a link and find its title, our server asks SoundCloud about it once when you add it.
• Cookies: a session cookie that keeps you signed in and a security cookie that protects forms against forgery. Both are strictly necessary. We do not use tracking or advertising cookies.
• We do not operate any analytics or advertising services.

We use your email address only to send account emails, such as verifying your address or resetting your password. We never sell or share your information.

3. Third-party services

When you play music, our page embeds the official SoundCloud player. SoundCloud may set cookies, collect usage data, or require an account for certain features, in accordance with its own privacy policy. Those interactions are between you and SoundCloud.

The ambient sounds and background images are hosted directly on our own server and are played or displayed locally in your browser without contacting any third party.

4. How your browser uses the media

• Ambient sound files (rain, birds, ocean, wind) are streamed from our server only after you press play.
• Background slideshow images are loaded from our server to your browser cache.
• Playing, pausing and changing scenes stays in your browser. We only receive what you send when you create a share link or use your account.

5. Children’s privacy

Accounts are not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has provided personal information through a third-party service embedded here, please contact that service directly.

6. Security

This site is served over HTTPS and uses a strict Content Security Policy that limits which scripts, images and media may load. No third-party scripts other than the SoundCloud player are permitted.

7. Changes to this policy

If we change how the site works, we will update this page and revise the date above.
