Privacy Policy
GDPR COMPLIANT · UK BASED · DATA SOVEREIGN
Last updated: April 2026
GDPR Compliant by Design
PetSounds51 is incorporated and operated from Scotland, United Kingdom. All data is processed under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. We are subject to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) regulatory framework — not US law. Your data never leaves UK/EU-compliant infrastructure.
What we collect — and why
Email address — only if you subscribe, to send your access confirmation. Stored by Stripe, not by us directly.
Anonymous session metadata — which protocol was played, how long, what species, what device type. Zero personally identifiable information. No names, no emails, no location beyond browser language hint.
Subscription status — stored in your own browser's localStorage. We do not maintain a user account database.
Legal basis: Legitimate interest (anonymous analytics) and Contract performance (subscription management) — UK GDPR Article 6(1)(b) and 6(1)(f).
What we never collect
- ✗ No names, addresses or phone numbers
- ✗ No GPS or precise location data
- ✗ No audio recordings — all sound generates locally in your browser
- ✗ No behavioural profiling or advertising IDs
- ✗ No third-party tracking pixels or marketing cookies
- ✗ No data sold to any third party — ever
Data residency & sovereignty
PetSounds51 is built on Base44, a UK-accessible infrastructure provider. All data is handled under UK GDPR jurisdiction.
We do not use US-based analytics services (no Google Analytics, no Meta Pixel, no Mixpanel). This is a deliberate architectural choice — not an afterthought.
This makes PetSounds51 a more attractive data partner for EU veterinary institutions and insurers who require GDPR-safe integrations.
Audio — 100% local processing
Every frequency, tone, and protocol is generated entirely within your device using the Web Audio API. Nothing is streamed from a server. Nothing is recorded. There is no audio data to intercept.
This architecture is not just private — it is faster, works offline, and has zero marginal cost per session.
Stripe payments
Payments are handled by Stripe, a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified provider. We never see, store, or process your card details.

Cookies
We use no tracking cookies. The only browser storage we use is localStorage to remember your subscription status on your own device. This does not require a cookie consent banner under UK GDPR guidance.
10% charity commitment
10% of all subscription revenue is donated to animal rescue organisations. Donation records are retained for accounting and regulatory purposes only, in line with UK charity law.
