Zero Server File Retention Guarantee

Privacy Policy

At HappyWave (accessible via happywave.in), your privacy is our absolute priority. This Privacy Policy documents how we handle user data, local browser processing, log metadata, and third-party advertising services.

Last Updated: September 2026 • Effective Immediately

1. 100% Client-Side Processing via Web Audio API (Zero Server Uploads)

HappyWave operates on a strict zero-server file retention architecture. All audio and video files dropped into HappyWave are decoded, sliced, edited, filtered, and exported 100% locally in your web browser using the native HTML5 Web Audio API, WebAssembly (WASM), and OfflineAudioContext.

  • Zero Server File Storage: Your media files, podcast recordings, voice notes, and video extracts are never uploaded to any server or cloud storage.
  • Complete Data Confidentiality: Because media never leaves your device sandbox, confidential business recordings and personal audio remain entirely private.
  • Local Memory Lifecycle: Imported audio buffers reside strictly in your browser RAM during your active session and are wiped immediately upon closing or refreshing the tab.

2. Server Log Data & Browser Metadata

Like most web platforms, standard web host servers automatically collect anonymous technical server log information when you request web pages. This log data may include:

  • Internet Protocol (IP) address and Internet Service Provider (ISP).
  • Browser type, operating system version, and device type.
  • Date and timestamp of page requests, referring/exit pages, and click count.

This log data is unlinked to personally identifiable information and is used exclusively for site performance optimization, diagnosing server errors, and defending against automated abuse.

3. Third-Party Advertising Cookies & Google AdSense

To support our free web utility, HappyWave partners with third-party advertising vendors, including Google AdSense. Third-party vendors use cookies to serve relevant advertisements based on a user's prior visits to happywave.in or other websites across the internet.

Google DoubleClick DART Cookie & User Opt-Out

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to happywave.in and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting:

4. Local Browser Storage (localStorage)

HappyWave uses browser localStorage solely to remember UI settings, such as your selected theme preference (dark or light mode). This preference data resides entirely on your device and is never transmitted to external servers.

5. Children's Online Privacy Protection

HappyWave does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you believe your child has provided personal information on our website, please contact us immediately, and we will promptly remove such information from our records.
