Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what data WorldLyrics collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this website, you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

  • Account information - if you sign in with Google, we receive your name and email address to create your account and show your comments.
  • Comments - the text you post, your display name and the time of posting. Comments are visible publicly.
  • Technical logs - IP address, browser type and pages visited, used for security, rate limiting and debugging.
  • Cookies - login sessions, remember-me tokens, and preferences needed for the site to work.

How we use information

  • To run the website - pages, search, comments and sign-in.
  • To keep the site safe - spam control, rate limits and abuse prevention.
  • To improve the service - understanding which pages and searches are popular.
  • To reply to your emails when you contact us.

Cookies

We use essential cookies for sign-in sessions and site security. If advertising or analytics tools are enabled, they may set their own cookies to measure visits and show relevant ads. You can block cookies in your browser settings, but sign-in and comments may stop working.

Third-party services

  • Google Sign-In - used only for account login. Google handles your password; we never see it.
  • Analytics and advertising partners - if enabled, they may collect anonymous visit statistics and ad-related data under their own privacy policies.

Data sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only when needed to run the site (for example login providers), or when required by law.

Data retention

Comments stay visible until removed by you or by us for moderation. Login tokens expire automatically. Technical logs are kept for a limited period for security purposes.

Your rights

You can ask us to correct or delete your account data and comments by emailing [email protected] from the email address linked to your account.

Children's privacy

WorldLyrics is a general music website and is not directed at children under 13. If you believe a child has shared personal data here, contact us and we will remove it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be posted on this page.
