Privacy & Cookies

This policy explains what limited data Relaxing Calm Music collects when you visit, and the choices you have. We keep this deliberately simple: there are no accounts, no forms and no ads.

Visit counting

We count visits with privacy-friendly analytics that sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device. It records which pages are viewed, where visits come from (such as a search engine), the country, the type of device and browser, and anonymous counts of what visitors search for on this site. Your IP address isn’t stored: visitors are counted with an anonymous code that changes every day, so no personal profile is created. This data is kept for up to 180 days on Cloudflare, which hosts it for us, and isn’t shared with anyone else.

No advertising

This site shows no ads and uses no advertising or tracking cookies.

Videos

Many pages include music videos from our YouTube channel, embedded in YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode. Each video starts as a picture from this site, and nothing is loaded from YouTube until you press play. Only then does your browser load the player from YouTube (Google), which receives your IP address and may store data on your device under its own privacy policy. Links that say “Watch on YouTube” simply open YouTube.

The page talks to these players only to know whether a video is playing and how far it has got, so that a piece you started can carry on in the small player at the bottom of the screen while you move to another page. That player is the same privacy-enhanced YouTube player; it only ever continues or starts music you chose.

Fonts

The site’s typefaces (Inter, Instrument Serif, Shippori Mincho and Noto Serif TC, all under the SIL Open Font License) are served from this site itself, so opening a page sends nothing to Google or any other font service.

What stays on your device

A few small things are saved in your own browser’s storage and never sent to us: the piece you last listened to in the player and where you stopped, so the site can offer to continue (closing the player forgets it), and a note when you complete a Quiet Hour. The playable instruments make their sound inside your browser; if you record a melody, it stays on the page unless you choose to share it, and a shared link contains only the notes and their timing. Search runs on your device, and the “now in the garden” suggestion uses only your device’s clock, never your location.

So that the site opens without a connection, your browser keeps copies of the pages, pictures and instrument sounds you have visited (a “service worker” cache). Videos are never stored. You can clear all of this at any time in your browser settings; the site will still work.

Your choices

You can block or clear site data in your browser at any time. Because we collect no names, emails or contact details, there is no account or profile to delete.
