Privacy policy
Effective date: October 4, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how my9albums (“we”, “us”, or “the service”) handles information when you visit my9albums.org, choose albums, create a poster, or open a shared poster link.
Information we handle
We try to keep the product account-free and collect only what is needed to operate and improve it.
- Board data stored in your browser. Your selected albums, order, name or handle, theme, and display settings are saved in local storage on your device so a refresh can restore your board.
- Shared poster data. When you create a share link, the selected albums and poster options are stored so anyone with that link can restore the poster. A share link is public to anyone who receives it and is not an access-controlled account.
- Usage and device data. Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity may collect information such as page views, interactions, browser type, device characteristics, approximate location, and technical identifiers. Clarity may use session recordings, heatmaps, and similar diagnostics to help us understand product usage.
- Operational data. Cloudflare may process request and security data when it delivers the website, Worker APIs, and D1 storage.
How we use information
- to provide search, album selection, poster generation, downloads, and share links;
- to keep the service secure, prevent abuse, and diagnose failures;
- to understand which parts of the product are useful and improve the experience; and
- to measure aggregate album-picking trends shown in the Most picked section.
Third-party services
The service uses Cloudflare for hosting, Worker execution, caching, and D1 storage; Google Analytics for product analytics; Microsoft Clarity for experience diagnostics; and music and cover-art providers for album search and artwork. Those providers process information according to their own privacy policies and terms.
Cookies and local storage
my9albums uses browser local storage for your board. Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies. You can clear local storage and manage or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking analytics technologies may not prevent you from using the poster editor.
Public sharing
Share links are designed to be viewable by anyone who has the URL. Do not include information in the name, handle, quote, or other poster fields that you do not want to make public. The current MVP does not provide account-based access controls.
Retention and deletion
Board data saved only in your browser remains until you clear it or the browser removes it. Shared poster records may remain in our database for as long as they are needed to operate the sharing and statistics features. To request deletion of a shared poster or ask a privacy question, email privacy@my9albums.org and include the share URL.
Your choices
You may stop using the service, clear local storage, block analytics in your browser, or avoid creating public share links. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information. We will handle valid requests according to applicable law.
Children
The service is not intentionally directed to children. If you believe a child provided personal information through a share link or another feature, contact us so we can review the request.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the service, analytics tools, or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top of this page indicates the latest version.
This policy is a product disclosure template and should be reviewed with the site operator’s actual legal entity, jurisdiction, retention practices, and contact details before public launch.
