Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 23, 2026. This policy explains how Whistling Songs for Birds handles local files, recordings, microphone access, contact emails, analytics, and embedded resources.
Overview
Whistling Songs for Birds is a browser-based bird whistle training website. The site is designed for cockatiel, parrot, budgie, and parakeet owners who want to play training songs, upload local whistle audio, record short whistle clips, and customize the bird companion.
Local Audio and Bird Images
Uploaded whistle audio, recorded whistle audio, and uploaded bird images are stored only in your current browser using IndexedDB. They are not uploaded to our server, cloud storage, or a user account. Clearing browser data may delete these local files.
Microphone Access
The recorder asks for microphone permission only when you choose to record a whistle. If you deny permission, recording will not start. The recording stays in your browser unless you choose to delete it or clear browser data.
Built-In Audio and YouTube Resources
Built-in whistle songs are served as website assets. YouTube training resources are linked or embedded through YouTube's official player. This site does not download, extract, or rehost YouTube audio or video.
Contact Emails
If you contact us by email, your email address, message, and any attachments you choose to send will be received through our email provider and used to review your feedback or respond to your request. Using the contact link does not automatically attach or upload audio, recordings, bird images, or other data stored in your browser.
Vercel Web Analytics
We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand aggregate website traffic and improve the site. It may collect page URLs, referrers, approximate location, browser, operating system, and device type. Vercel Web Analytics does not use third-party cookies and does not associate analytics events with an individual or an IP address. Its privacy-focused visitor identifier is a hash that resets every 24 hours. We do not send uploaded file names, recordings, email addresses, or other custom user content to analytics.
Accounts, Payments, and Cloud Storage
This v1.0 build does not require an account or payment and does not use a backend database or cloud storage for user audio or bird images.
