Privacy Policy

Last updated: 01 June 2025

We care about your privacy and want you to understand how we handle your information. This notice explains what we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices you have.

A quick summary

  • We collect only what we need to run and improve the site (for example, contact details you share with us and basic analytics).
  • We don’t sell your personal data.
  • You’re in control: you can ask us to access, correct, delete, or stop using your data.
  • Questions? Contact us via the form on our Contact page.

1) What we collect

Information you provide directly

  • When you contact us (via form or email), we receive the details you choose to share, such as your name, email address, message content, and any URLs or screenshots you include.

Information collected automatically

  • When you visit the site, we may collect technical and usage data: IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, time spent, and similar diagnostics. We use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences and understand how the site is used.

Optional third-party data

  • If we use analytics, measurement, advertising, or anti-spam tools (for example, reCAPTCHA or ad networks), those partners may set their own cookies or receive your IP address and basic device information to perform their services. See “Cookies & similar technologies” below.

2) How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve FindSongByLyric.com.
  • Respond to questions, bug reports, and feature requests.
  • Monitor performance, prevent abuse, and keep the site secure.
  • Measure usage so we can make better product decisions.
  • Comply with legal obligations.

We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

3) Legal bases (for UK/EU users)

Where GDPR/UK GDPR applies, we rely on:

  • Legitimate interests (e.g., site security, analytics, improving our services).
  • Consent (e.g., certain non-essential cookies).
  • Contract (e.g., responding to your enquiries).
  • Legal obligation (e.g., retaining records where required).

4) Cookies & similar technologies

Cookies help the site remember your settings and allow us to understand usage patterns.

  • Essential cookies keep the site working.
  • Analytics/measurement cookies help us improve content and performance.
  • Advertising cookies (if used) help show more relevant ads and measure their effectiveness.

You can control cookies in your browser settings. If you block non-essential cookies, some features may not function as intended.

5) Advertising, links, and third parties

FindSongByLyric.com is a lyric-search utility; we don’t host audio files. Our results may link to other websites. We’re not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites—please review their policies. If we display ads, our ad partners may use cookies or similar technologies in line with their own policies.

6) How we share information

We don’t sell your data. We share it only with:

  • Service providers who help us operate the site (e.g., hosting, analytics, anti-spam). They are bound by confidentiality and data-protection obligations.
  • Authorities or others when required by law or to protect our rights, users, or the public.
  • Business changes: if we undergo a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer, your data may transfer under the same protections.

7) Data retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described above, or as required by law. Retention periods vary based on the type of data and reason for collection (for example, support emails may be kept for a reasonable period to help us handle follow-ups and improve service).

8) Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your information. No website can guarantee absolute security, but we work to prevent unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

9) Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access a copy of your personal data.
  • Ask us to correct or delete it.
  • Object to or restrict certain processing.
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
  • Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

To exercise your rights, contact us via the Contact page or email [your email here]. We may need to verify your identity before completing your request.

10) Changes to this policy

We may update this notice from time to time. We’ll post the latest version here and update the “Last updated” date. Significant changes may also be highlighted on the site.
