DRIFT AWHILE / YOUR PRIVACY

Privacy Policy.

The quiet should feel uncomplicated. Here is what Drift Awhile currently stores, what its hosting environment may process, and what would change if we add analytics or advertising.

01. At a glance

The current Drift Awhile listening experience does not ask you to create an account, provide your name, enter an email address, or submit a form. Its soundscapes run in the browser, and it does not include embedded advertising or analytics trackers in the current application code.

Like other websites, it relies on hosting and security infrastructure that may process technical information when pages are requested.

02. On-device preferences

To remember how you like to listen, Drift Awhile uses your browser's local storage for settings such as the selected soundscape, listening position, volume, audio mix, and reduced-motion preference.

These preferences are stored on your device by the Site's application code. They are not transmitted to a Drift Awhile account or database by the current listening features. They generally remain until you clear the Site's stored browser data, use a browser mode that removes them, or the browser deletes them.

03. Hosting and access

When your browser requests a webpage, standard technical details may be processed by the hosting, delivery, and security services involved. These can include an IP address, browser or device information, requested URLs, request times, and error or security events. The providers' own practices and retention periods may apply.

Private preview access may require signing in with ChatGPT through the hosting platform. That authentication is distinct from the public listening experience and is subject to the platform's privacy terms.

04. Audio and microphone

The nature-inspired audio is generated in your browser. Drift Awhile does not request microphone access, record your voice, or upload microphone audio as part of the current experience.

05. Cookies and tracking

As of the date above, the Site's application code does not place advertising cookies or embed third-party analytics pixels. Hosting and sign-in systems may use their own necessary cookies or similar technologies to deliver and protect the service.

If we introduce analytics or advertising technologies later, we will update this policy to explain what is collected, who receives it, and what choices or consent mechanisms apply where required.

06. Sharing and retention

The current listening features do not send your saved listening preferences to third-party advertisers, and Drift Awhile does not currently sell personal information through the Site's application code. Technical request data may be handled by hosting and security providers as described above.

Browser preferences remain on your device until deleted. Retention of infrastructure logs is governed by the services that process them; this Site does not set or guarantee those providers' retention periods.

07. Your choices

You can remove saved listening preferences by clearing Drift Awhile's site data or local storage through your browser settings. Your browser may also let you restrict cookies, block trackers, or use private browsing. Some features may not remember preferences when storage is unavailable.

Any additional rights under applicable privacy law depend on the information processed and the law that applies to you and the Site operator.

08. Future features and changes

Drift Awhile may eventually offer advertisements, analytics, optional accounts, or new features. Those are not part of the current listening experience. We will review the associated data flows and revise this policy, along with any necessary notices and consent controls, before introducing them.

Material policy changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date.

A quieter kind of technology.
