Privacy

AudioLinx finds a song on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer and YouTube so you can share it with anyone. There are no accounts and no ads, and we don't sell or share data about you. We keep daily totals of how AudioLinx is used, not records of what any one person did.

When you search or paste a streaming link, on the website or in the iOS app, the text or link is sent to our server. The server asks Spotify, Apple Music (or the iTunes Search API), Deezer and YouTube for the matching song, using only the song's details (title, artist, album or its ISRC code). Nothing that identifies you is passed on to them.

A song you share gets an AudioLinx page, such as audiolinx.xyz/t/spotify/…, that anyone with the link can open. It shows the song and its links; it says nothing about who shared it.

On a song's page, your browser loads the cover from Spotify, Apple or Deezer, and the 30-second preview from Deezer, the same way any website loads images from other sites. Those services see your IP address while doing so.

"Listen on …" first goes through audiolinx.xyz, so we can count which service people choose, then on to that service. From there, its own privacy policy applies.

We add up, per day: songs looked up, song pages opened, "Listen on …" taps per service, and previews played. Only these totals are stored, in a database on our server. They contain no IP address, identifier or cookie, so they can't be traced back to anyone. Visits from robots, such as the ones that build link previews in messaging apps, aren't counted.

Like most websites, our server records each request: your IP address, the page or API address asked for, your browser's name and version, and the time. We use these logs to keep the service running and to stop abuse, and they are deleted after 14 days.

To stop any one visitor from overloading the service, the server also counts requests per IP address. Those counts only last a minute.

When you open the home page, our server looks up your approximate location (country and city) from your IP address with IPinfo. It is written to the server logs, which are deleted after 14 days.

The website uses Google Analytics to understand which pages are used. It sets cookies in your browser and sends Google details of your visit, such as the pages you open and your device. See how Google uses this data. Browser extensions and settings that block trackers also block it; AudioLinx works the same without it.

The website remembers, in your browser only, the service you last opened a song in, so it can come first next time. You can clear it by clearing this site's data in your browser.

The iOS app keeps its settings on your phone. It reads the clipboard only when you tap "Paste the song link you copied"; checking whether a link was copied doesn't read it. Links you share to AudioLinx from other apps are looked up like a pasted link. The app uses Apple's App Attest to prove to our server that requests come from the real app; this identifies the app on your phone to our server, not you.

You can ask us what we hold about you, and to delete it. Because we don't keep accounts or records tied to people, there is usually nothing beyond the server logs, which are deleted after 14 days anyway. If you are in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you can also complain to your data protection authority, such as the CNIL in France.
