2.1 Audio Files
Uploaded original audio files are used exclusively to process the mastering job and are deleted from the server immediately after processing is complete (at most within 60 minutes).
For the public Mix Check, the uploaded file is deleted immediately after the analysis completes, is cancelled, or fails. No user account, mastering job, or audio file is stored permanently as part of the check.
Mastered output files are retained on the server for 24 hoursafter processing to allow download. After this period, files are automatically and permanently deleted. No permanent audio library or archive is maintained.
No permanent storage, no sharing, no analysis of audio content. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of contract).
2.2 Usage Data (Fair Use)
To enforce usage limits (masters per day / month), anonymised counters are stored in the database. These counters are used solely for quota management and are not linked to personal data. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest).
2.3 Server Logs
Automatically logged: IP address, date/time, requested URL, HTTP status, bytes transferred. Retention period: 7 days, then automatically deleted. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest — operational security).
2.4 Account Data
For registered users, the following data is stored:
- Email address (required for account creation)
- Name (optional)
- Daily usage counters (fair-use limit)
- Mastering history (metadata): file name, date, selected platform, mastering intensity, LUFS measurements before/after processing, mastering parameters — explicitly no audio content
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of contract). Retention: until account deletion.
2.5 Hosting (Data Processor)
