Privacy Policy

Barz Studio is the product name used on barzvideo.com. The website operator provides and delivers the product. For purchases processed through Creem, the legal seller is Armitage Labs OÜ (Estonian registry code 16977866), Rotermanni 14, Tallinn 10111, Estonia, and Creem acts as Merchant of Record for payment transactions. This policy explains what information is handled when you visit or use the site.

Information you provide to the editor

The editor works in your browser. Your selected audio file is processed locally to preview and export a video; Selecting a file alone does not upload it. Optional automatic lyric recognition is described below. Lyrics, color palette, line timing, selected template, song title and artist name are saved in your browser’s local storage. An optional cover or photo is resized and stored as a separate local image, without uploading it. These settings let you restore work on the same device. Max brand preset names, themes, and formats are also stored locally. They remain there until you remove them in the editor or clear this site’s browser storage. The original audio file and exported video are not saved by the editor; optional automatic lyrics may keep a converted audio copy for a limited time as described below.

Optional automatic lyrics

Automatic recognition is off until you agree to send the track’s audio and click Extract lyrics. Your browser extracts and converts audio from the selected audio or video file. Barz temporarily stores this audio and gives an online recognition service — Qwen at maas.qianwenaiapi.com or Volcengine Seed Speech at openspeech.bytedance.com — an expiring signed URL so it can recognize words and time points. Original filenames, cover images and video pictures are not sent for recognition.

Barz removes the temporary recognition audio after the result is retrieved or a cancellation request is received. Abandoned audio and task data expire within ten minutes. Separately, when recognition succeeds, Barz keeps a copy of the converted audio for up to about 30 days to evaluate and improve recognition. That copy contains only the converted mono audio; it does not include the original filename, cover image, video picture, lyrics or recognized words, and it is not linked to your account. Storage lifecycle rules delete it automatically after about 30 days, which may take up to an additional day. If you cancel before recognition completes, or recognition fails, the copy is deleted immediately. Because retained copies are not linked to an account, we cannot locate one specific recording; deletion requests are handled by removing copies from the relevant date range. Cancellation stops waiting and requests cleanup; it cannot recall audio already received by the recognition provider. The provider handles that audio under its own service policies. Recognized words remain in this page until you choose to apply them to your local draft.

To protect the beta service, we keep daily usage counts and a daily rotating, keyed hash of the request’s network address. Recognition is limited to three-minute clips on Free (up to five minutes for a signed-in account’s one free full song, and ten minutes on Pro/Max), daily per-network limits, and a shared site allowance. We do not send recognition text, audio URLs or task identifiers to analytics.

Please do not enter sensitive personal information in lyrics or filenames. If you choose to sign in, Supabase processes your email address, account identifier, authentication session, and subscription status. The free editor remains usable without an account.

Optional AI lyric writing

Write lyrics with AI is separate from audio recognition. After you agree to online writing and click Suggest ideas, Barz sends the prompt you entered, task, language and mood to an online writing service — DeepSeek at api.deepseek.com and/or Qwen at maas.qianwenaiapi.com. Your audio, cover and the rest of your lyric draft are not included. Use my last lyric line copies that line into the prompt so you can review it before sending. Avoid entering sensitive information.

Barz does not save writing prompts or generated options on its server. They are processed by the provider under its own service policies. Cancelling stops this page from waiting; it cannot recall a prompt already received by the provider. We keep separate daily writing usage counts and a daily rotating keyed network-address hash to enforce five writing requests per network per day and a shared site allowance. Logs and analytics do not include writing prompts or results.

Save idea keeps up to five chosen suggestions separately in this browser’s local storage. Clear saved ideas removes them, and Clear draft also clears these saved writing ideas. Append to lyrics adds the chosen text to your local main draft without changing existing lines. Saved ideas are not included in optional cloud drafts. Writing new words does not generate vocals or change your audio.

Optional paid cloud drafts

Cloud sync is off by default. A signed-in Pro or Max user may turn it on and explicitly save a draft. Supabase then stores the draft title, lyrics, selected theme, line timing, account owner, and creation/update times. Selected audio, its filename or file metadata, cover images, local song title and artist fields, template selection, brand presets, and exported videos are not uploaded with cloud drafts. Cloud copies can be listed, restored, and deleted from the editor while a paid subscription is active. A local browser draft remains independent of cloud copies.

Website and analytics information

Our website host and delivery providers may process technical request information, such as an IP address, browser and device details, requested pages, and security or diagnostic logs, to deliver and protect the site.

On the production website, we offer optional Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand page visits and interactions, diagnose usability issues, and improve the editor. These analytics tools load only if you select “Allow analytics.” If you reject optional analytics, we do not load their tags. When enabled, analytics storage is granted while advertising storage, ad user data, and ad personalization remain denied. Your choice is saved in this browser and can be changed with the Cookie settings link in the footer.

When enabled, Google Analytics and Clarity may collect page, device, interaction, and diagnostic information and may use cookies or similar technologies. We mark lyric, song detail, cover preview, canvas and filename areas for masking in Clarity, and Clarity masks text entered into input fields by default. We do not intentionally send audio, lyrics, song details, filenames or cover image data as analytics events.

If you allow optional analytics, we also store a random browser identifier and a broad source and landing-page category from when analytics is first allowed in this browser, for up to one year. If you start a checkout while analytics is allowed, these categories and the identifier may be included with the checkout information sent to Creem so we can understand which sources lead to purchases. We do not include the full referring URL, campaign text, audio or lyrics. Rejecting analytics removes this browser record and stops future attribution; it does not automatically erase records already held by payment providers. Contact us for a privacy request.

For details about Google Analytics data processing and Google’s privacy practices, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. For Clarity cookies, data collection, consent signals, and retention, see Microsoft’s cookie information, data collection documentation, consent API documentation, and Privacy Statement. You can also manage or delete cookies and local storage through your browser settings.

Payments

The public editor remains free. Pro and Max subscriptions use Creem checkout. Creem acts as Merchant of Record and handles checkout, payment and billing information under its own terms. Barz Studio receives subscription identifiers, product and status information, and renewal/cancellation dates needed to grant access; it does not receive or store full payment-card details.

How information is used and shared

We use technical site information to deliver, secure, and troubleshoot the website; analytics information to understand use and improve the product; and messages you send us to respond to support requests. We may share information with providers that host, deliver, or measure the website, and when disclosure is required by law or needed to protect the service and its users. We do not sell your audio files or lyrics.

Your choices and requests

You can remove a local draft with Clear draft, delete individual cloud copies through the Pro editor, or clear this site’s local storage and cookies in your browser. For account or cloud data deletion, or other privacy requests, email support@barzvideo.com from your account address. If Pro has expired and cloud controls are unavailable, we will handle the request through support. We may need to verify account ownership before deleting account data.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy as the site changes. The effective date above shows when this version took effect. Questions can be sent to support@barzvideo.com.
