1. Information We Collect
Audio files you convert
When you convert a file on MP3toWAV.io, the conversion runs inside your web browser on your own device. Your audio files are not sent to, processed on, or stored on our servers. When you close or refresh the page, the files and the converted results are cleared from the browser tab.
If you paste a URL, your browser downloads the file from that address so it can be converted on your device. We do not keep a copy of it.
Information you send us
If you email us at [email protected], we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and whatever you write in the message, including any attachments.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our servers and our analytics and advertising partners automatically collect some technical information when you visit, such as:
- IP address and approximate location (country, region or city) derived from it
- Browser type and version, operating system and device type
- Pages you visit, time spent on them, links you click and the page that referred you
- Date and time of your visit
- Cookie identifiers and similar online identifiers
We use cookies and similar technologies to collect some of this information. Our Cookie Policy explains this in detail.
2. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, operate and keep the converter and website working
- Understand how visitors use the site so we can fix problems and improve it
- Display advertising that helps keep MP3toWAV.io free
- Detect, prevent and respond to abuse, fraud, security incidents and technical problems
- Reply to your emails and support requests
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service
3. Legal Bases (EEA and UK Visitors)
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process personal data on these legal bases:
- Consent: for non-essential cookies, such as analytics and personalized advertising. You can withdraw consent at any time.
- Legitimate interests: to run, secure and improve the website, and to answer your messages.
- Legal obligation: where we must keep or disclose information by law.
4. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only in these situations:
- Service providers: companies that host the website, deliver content, provide analytics or serve ads for us. They may use the information only to provide their services.
- Advertising partners: such as Google, which may collect information through cookies to show and measure ads. See section 5.
- Legal reasons: when required by law, subpoena or court order, or when we believe disclosure is needed to protect our rights, your safety or the safety of others.
- Business transfers: if MP3toWAV.io is sold, merged or reorganized, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this policy.
Under some U.S. state privacy laws, allowing advertising partners to collect information through cookies for targeted advertising may count as a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. You can opt out as described in section 9.
5. Advertising
MP3toWAV.io may show ads served by Google AdSense and other advertising partners. These partners use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this website and other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies lets it and its partners serve ads to you based on your visits to our site and other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can opt out of personalized ads from many other vendors at aboutads.info or, in Europe, youronlinechoices.eu.
To learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
6. How Long We Keep Information
Audio files you convert are not stored by us, so there is nothing to keep. Server logs are kept for a limited time, usually no longer than 90 days, unless we need them longer to investigate abuse or a security issue. Emails you send us are kept for as long as needed to handle your request and for a reasonable period afterwards. Analytics and advertising partners keep data according to their own retention settings and policies.
7. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, including HTTPS encryption for every page. Because conversions happen on your device, your audio files do not travel to our servers. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children’s Privacy
MP3toWAV.io is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. In the EEA and UK, we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16 without parental consent. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us at [email protected] and we will delete it.
9. Your Privacy Rights
U.S. state privacy rights
Depending on the state where you live, including California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon and other states with consumer privacy laws, you may have the right to:
- Know and access the personal information we have collected about you
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Delete personal information we hold about you
- Get a copy of your personal information in a portable format
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and of targeted advertising
- Not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights
To make a request, email [email protected] with the subject line “Privacy Request” and tell us which right you want to use. We may need to verify your identity before we act. We will respond within 45 days, or tell you if we need more time as the law allows. You may use an authorized agent to make a request for you. If we decline your request, you may appeal by replying to our decision, and we will answer your appeal within the time required by your state’s law.
Opting out: you can opt out of targeted advertising by rejecting advertising cookies in our cookie settings, by turning on the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal in your browser, which we treat as an opt-out request for that browser, or by emailing us.
California residents
In the last 12 months we have collected these categories of personal information: identifiers (such as IP address and cookie IDs), internet or other electronic network activity (such as pages viewed), and approximate geolocation. We collect them from you and your device, and we use and disclose them for the purposes described in sections 2 and 4. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that require a right to limit under California law. California’s “Shine the Light” law also lets residents ask about disclosures to third parties for their direct marketing. We do not make such disclosures.
EEA and UK residents
You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to our processing of your personal data, the right to data portability, and the right to withdraw consent at any time. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
10. International Visitors
MP3toWAV.io is operated in the United States, and our service providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Data protection laws there may differ from those where you live. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, for these transfers.
11. Do Not Track
Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. There is no common standard for how websites should respond to it, so we do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals. We do honor Global Privacy Control signals as described in section 9.
12. Third-Party Links and Services
Our website links to other websites and third-party services. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please read their privacy policies before you share information with them.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. If the changes are significant, we will give a more visible notice on the website. Continuing to use MP3toWAV.io after an update means you accept the revised policy.
