Plain-language privacy

Your music choices stay yours.

Favorites, Top Five, recent history, and the current queue stay in this browser. They are not YouTube views, streams, or account analytics.

Who operates the Diary

mBaileyz Music Diary is operated by Mark Bailey. For privacy questions, corrections or deletion requests, contact mbaileyz.com@gmail.com. This policy was updated September 6, 2026. Read the Terms of use.

Voice commands

Voice uses on-device speech recognition when the browser supports it. Music Diary creates no audio recording, uploads no voice audio, and sends no command transcript to a server. A command is processed once and discarded; matching songs can remain visible until you choose one or leave the tab. The microphone stops after one phrase, after 12 seconds, or when you leave the tab. If private recognition or the English speech pack is unavailable, click a shortcut or type. Voice commands use English when the on-device English speech pack is available. Visual modes are temporary choices and do not collect your age.

Limited listener events

Listener telemetry is on by default when this browser allows local preference storage, and you can turn it off below. When enabled, Music Diary sends a random session ID; random queue and playback-session IDs; song, playlist, surface, queue-position, and prior-song identifiers; player milestones; approximate played and duration seconds; and receipt time. The session ID normally lasts only for this tab. If tab storage is blocked while preference storage still works, a new random ID is used for each event instead. These rows do not contain your name or email and never count as YouTube views or streams.

Events stop contributing after 30 days. Expired rows are deleted during the next event-ingestion or owner-statistics maintenance request, so a dormant database may hold excluded rows beyond their reporting window until that cleanup runs. Deleting the current session also creates a temporary one-way deletion marker, preventing delayed browser requests for that session from recreating rows during the retention window.

The random ID lasts for this browser tab rather than identifying the device indefinitely. Re-enabling telemetry starts a new random session; a failed deletion remains visible for retry. The owner Control Room uses these events as approximate product signals—not as proof of unique people or confirmed listening.

Third-party players

Music Diary uses YouTube API Services to retrieve public video titles, descriptions, thumbnails, publication dates, availability and statistics. Starting a YouTube player contacts Google and YouTube and may allow them to serve content, advertisements and cookies or similar storage under the Google Privacy Policy and YouTube Terms of Service. Suno previews and players contact Suno under its Privacy Policy. Music Diary does not combine Suno playback with mBaileyz YouTube statistics.

The owner can separately connect YouTube Analytics. Authorized analytics and connection credentials are restricted to owner features. In addition to requesting deletion here, an authorized user can revoke Google access through Google account permissions.

Cookies and this device

Cloudflare provides hosting and traffic protection and may use security cookies such as __cf_bm. Owner and creator sign-in uses ChatGPT. Sign-in uses a short-lived cookie to complete authentication and service cookies to maintain access. YouTube, Google, Suno and the sign-in provider process connection information under their own policies. Browser storage here remembers preferences, listening choices, creator-prompt dismissal and player privacy agreement. It is not used to record your age.

Offline reading is optional. Choosing “Save for offline reading” stores up to 20 public text selections in this browser for seven days; expired entries are removed the next time Saved reading opens or a selection is saved. A small offline reading shell is cached to open them when the network is unavailable. No audio, video, private diary or owner response is cached for offline use. Use Saved reading to remove individual selections or delete all of them. Clearing this site’s browser data removes the saved shell and local choices.

Creator access

Signed-in creator features use an internal access key derived from the signed-in email to enforce ownership and collaboration. Raw member emails and names are not shown in diary access panels. Submitted raw lyrics are used only for the immediate analysis and are not saved.

An unsigned analysis can use a one-time, two-hour handoff in this tab during sign-in. Raw lyrics are excluded.
