Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026
G33Z3R Radio (“G33Z3R,” “we,” “us”) is built to be light on data. You can browse, save favorites, build mixtapes, and read memories without creating an account. This policy explains what little we do collect and why.
What we collect
- Memories you submit. The text and optional display name you choose to post. These are public. We also store a one-way hashed fingerprint derived from your network address solely to prevent spam — we never store your raw IP address. Submissions are screened by an automated moderation service (the OpenAI Moderation API) to keep the wall safe; the text is sent only to classify it, not to identify you.
- Likes. A random, anonymous device identifier kept in your browser, used only to stop the same device from liking a memory twice.
- Favorites & in-progress mixtapes. Stored only in your browser’s local storage. They never leave your device or reach our servers.
- Published mixtapes. If you choose to publish a mixtape, its title, description, and song list become public at a shareable link.
- Secret Frequency (optional crate sync). If you choose to “save your crate,” we store a small blob of your collected state (favorites, saved themes, mixtapes, liked-memory IDs) on our server, keyed only by a one-way keyed hash of your 4-word phrase — never the phrase itself, and no email, name, or login. This is pseudonymous personal data, minimized. A crate untouched for 12 months is automatically deleted, and you can erase it any time with “Forget my frequency.” The “keep me tuned in” cookie (opt-in, default off) holds only a random device token.
- Display preferences. A functional cookie remembers your chosen look (light/dark, cassette/vinyl/CD, etc.). It contains no personal data and is not used for tracking.
- Operational logs. Our hosting providers (Vercel and Neon) keep standard request logs for security and reliability.
What we don't do
- We don’t require accounts or collect names, emails, or logins.
- We don’t sell or rent your data to anyone.
- We don’t use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
Links to other services
G33Z3R doesn’t host or stream music. Our “play,” playlist, radio, and purchase buttons send you to third-party services (such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn, and iHeartRadio). Once you leave our site, those services collect and use data under their own privacy policies, which we don’t control.
Connecting to Spotify
If you choose “Create on Spotify,” you log in with Spotify and grant permission to create a playlist in your library. The connection runs entirely in your browser — your Spotify access token never reaches our servers, and we do not store it or any of your Spotify data. We use the access only to look up your songs and create the one playlist you requested; when you close the tab, the connection is gone.
You can revoke G33Z3R’s access at any time from spotify.com/account/apps. Because we store nothing, there’s nothing on our side to delete.
Retro TV (YouTube videos)
Our Retro TV page uses YouTube API Servicesto play music videos through YouTube’s official embedded player. Nothing video-related loads until you turn the TV on — at which point YouTube may set cookies and collect data through its player. By using Retro TV you are agreeing to the YouTube Terms of Service, and that activity is governed by the Google Privacy Policy. We use the privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookiehost, we don’t host or store any video, and we keep only a YouTube video ID per song so we know which clip to load.
Cookies
We use one functional cookie to remember your display preferences. The only other cookies that can appear are set by YouTube’s embedded player afteryou choose to start a video on Retro TV (see above). We don’t use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies of our own, and aside from YouTube’s opt-in player we don’t let third parties set tracking cookies through our site. You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time.
Children
G33Z3R is intended for a general, nostalgic adult audience and is not directed to children under 13. Please don’t submit memories if you are under 13.
Removing your content or data
Memories are anonymous, but if you’d like a memory you posted removed, or have any question about your data, email us at info@g33z3r.com and we’ll take care of it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site grows. We’ll revise the date above when we do, so check back from time to time.
