Privacy policy
Short version: your files never leave your device. We don’t have accounts, so we know very little about you, and we keep it that way.
Last updated: November 11, 2026 · Fields in [BRACKETS] are placeholders and will be completed by the operator.
Who we are
Placeholdr is run by [COMPANY LEGAL NAME], [STREET + NUMBER, POSTCODE CITY, COUNTRY] ([VAT / COMPANY NUMBER]). We are the controller for the limited personal data described below. Questions? Email [CONTACT EMAIL].
Your files stay on your device
Every tool on Placeholdr runs inside your browser. When you drop in a song, recording, video or image, it is processed on your own device. We never upload, receive, store or see your files, transcripts, lyrics or exported videos.
To make the speech tools work, your browser downloads an open speech-recognition model once from public hosts (Hugging Face and jsDelivr) and stores it in your browser’s cache. That download contains no data about your files.
What we do process
- Server logs. Our hosting provider (Cloudflare) processes technical data such as IP address, browser type and requested page to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. These logs are kept briefly. Legal basis: legitimate interest (art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
- Your choices on this device. We store your cookie choice and tool settings in your browser’s local storage. This never leaves your device.
- Advertising (only with your consent). If you accept advertising cookies, our ad partner (Google) may use cookies and similar technologies to show, measure and personalise ads. Legal basis: consent (art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Without consent, only non-personalised ads may be shown.
- Statistics (only with your consent). Anonymous counts of which tools are used.
- Email. If you contact us, we use your email only to reply.
Third parties
- Cloudflare, Inc. — hosting and security.
- Hugging Face and jsDelivr — host the open speech model and engine your browser downloads.
- Google Ireland Ltd. — advertising, only after consent. See how Google uses data from partner sites.
Some of these providers may process data outside the EU. Where they do, they rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses.
Your rights
You can ask to access, correct or delete your personal data, object to processing, or withdraw consent at any time (use “Cookie settings” at the bottom of any page). You can also complain to your data protection authority. Email [CONTACT EMAIL] for any request.
Children
Placeholdr is not aimed at children under 16. We don’t knowingly collect their data.
