Privacy Policy

KanTara does not collect personal information. When you use the app, an anonymous session identifier is generated in your browser automatically. We store: room codes, the display nicknames you choose, and the songs added to queues. In Voice Rooms, your microphone audio is transmitted live to other participants via WebRTC — it is never recorded or stored by KanTara. None of this data is linked to your real identity.

Nicknames (e.g. "Sunny Mango") are auto-assigned from a random pool or customized by you. They are visible to other users in the same room for the duration of that session. Do not use your real name if privacy is a concern.

Song titles and YouTube video IDs are cached in our database to speed up future searches across all rooms. This cache is global and anonymous — it is not associated with any specific user, session, or room.

How we share information with third parties

When you search for a song, your search query is sent to YouTube's servers via the YouTube Data API to retrieve matching video results — this is required for the app's core search functionality. Room, guest, and queue data (room codes, nicknames, and queued songs) is stored and processed by Supabase's servers to power our database, authentication, and real-time sync features.

We do not sell, rent, or share your information with any other third party for any purpose, and we do not use your information for advertising or marketing. Data shared with YouTube and Supabase is subject to their respective privacy policies: Google's Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and Supabase's Privacy Policy (https://supabase.com/privacy).

When a direct connection between participants in a Voice Room isn't possible, audio may be relayed through Metered's TURN servers (Open Relay Project) as a fallback — this is transient, in-transit relay only, and audio is never recorded or stored by Metered or KanTara.

We use browser local storage to remember your chosen nickname across sessions. No tracking cookies or advertising identifiers are used.

Karaoke queue rooms and their data are automatically removed after 6 hours of inactivity. Voice rooms and their guest/queue data are removed after 30 minutes of inactivity or when all guests leave. Cached song metadata (titles, thumbnails, video IDs) may be retained indefinitely to maintain search performance. Microphone audio from Voice Rooms is never stored. No personal data is retained.

KanTara is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13.
