Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how MODVC ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you use our websites and tools, including Music (modvc.org), Convert (convert.modvc.org), Play (play.modvc.org), and Type (type.modvc.org).
Our principle is simple: collect as little as possible, keep it as briefly as possible, and never sell it.
Information We Collect
Depending on which Service you use, we may handle:
- Technical data — IP address, browser type, device type, language, referring page.
- Usage data — pages viewed, features used, errors encountered.
- Content you submit — files you upload to Convert, text you write in Type, scores in Play.
- Account data (only if you create one) — email address, display name, preferences.
- Communications — messages you send us by email or contact form.
We do not request or store sensitive personal data, and we do not run advertising trackers.
How We Use Information
We use information only for the following purposes:
- To provide, operate, and maintain the Services.
- To process the action you requested (e.g., converting a file, saving a draft).
- To detect, prevent, and respond to abuse, fraud, or technical problems.
- To understand aggregate usage and improve the Services.
- To respond to your messages and support requests.
- To comply with legal obligations.
File Conversion (Convert)
When you upload a file to Convert, it is transmitted over an encrypted connection, processed on our servers, and then deleted. We do not view, scan for content, sell, or share your files. Conversions are intended for personal use; please don't upload files you don't have the right to use.
Game & Activity Data (Play)
Play may store basic gameplay information locally in your browser (for example, scores or settings). If you choose to share a result on a public board, only the information you submit is shown — never your IP, email, or device identifier.
Documents & Drafts (Type)
Type stores drafts in your browser by default. If you choose to publish or share a piece, only the content and any name you provided are made visible. You can delete your drafts and published pieces at any time.
Data Retention
We keep information only as long as needed:
- Convert files — deleted shortly after processing.
- Logs — kept for a limited period for security and debugging.
- Account data — kept until you delete your account.
- Published content — kept until you delete it.
Security
We use industry-standard practices to protect your data: encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, and minimal data collection. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to reduce risk and respond quickly if something goes wrong.
Your Rights & Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate data.
- Delete your data ("right to be forgotten").
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
- Receive a copy of your data in a portable format.
- Withdraw consent at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@modvc.org.
Children's Privacy
Our Services are not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country). We don't knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us and we'll delete it.
International Users
MODVC operates from a single region, but may serve users globally. By using the Services, you understand that your data may be processed in a country other than your own. We apply the same protections regardless of where your data is processed.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top and, where appropriate, give notice in the affected Service.
