Privacy

Last updated: May 25, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Findnoise ("we," "us," or "our") handles information when you visit https://findnoise.net/.

Findnoise publishes long-form white noise, rain sounds, fireplace sounds, nature sounds, and related ambience content for sleep, focus, relaxation, and background listening. The website does not require account registration to browse its public pages.

1. Information You Provide

If you contact Findnoise by email, we may receive the information you choose to include in your message, such as your email address, name if provided, and the content of your inquiry. We use that information only to review and respond to the request, handle copyright or support matters, and keep necessary correspondence records.

2. Technical Information and Site Delivery

Like most websites, technical request information may be processed by hosting, delivery, or security infrastructure used to operate and protect the site. This can include information such as browser and device details, IP-related technical data, requested pages, and security or diagnostic signals needed to deliver the website reliably and prevent abuse.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Findnoise may involve cookies or similar technologies in connection with advertising services, consent tools where required, and third-party media players used on the site. Please review our Cookies page for a more detailed explanation.

4. Advertising and Google AdSense

Findnoise may display advertisements through Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on visits to Findnoise and/or other sites on the Internet.

Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Users may also learn more about opting out of certain third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at AboutAds.info.

Depending on location, browser settings, applicable law, and consent choices, ads may be personalized or non-personalized. Advertising technologies may also be used for ad delivery, frequency control, reporting, security, fraud prevention, and invalid-traffic protection.

For additional information about how Google uses data from sites and apps that use Google services, visit How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps.

5. Embedded YouTube Video Players

Findnoise sound pages use standard YouTube embedded video players through the youtube.com domain. These players are embedded directly on the page so the video content is available as part of the watch page. When a player loads or a visitor interacts with it, YouTube and Google may process information, use cookies or similar technologies, and apply their own policies and player settings.

If a visitor clicks through from an embedded player to YouTube or another Google service, the destination service's own privacy policy and terms apply.

6. Consent for Certain Regions

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you may be shown a consent message or similar choice tool where required before certain advertising cookies or related storage technologies are used.

7. External Platforms and Links

Findnoise links to external platforms such as YouTube and official social media profiles. When you leave this website and visit a third-party service, that service's own privacy policy and terms apply.

8. Data Sharing

Findnoise does not sell personal information in the ordinary operation of this website. Information may be handled by service providers or platforms involved in website delivery, security, advertising, or media playback, subject to their own applicable policies and legal obligations.

9. Data Retention

Email inquiries may be retained for as long as reasonably needed to respond, maintain support or copyright records, and address follow-up requests. Technical, advertising, or media-player data handled by third-party services is retained according to those providers' own policies and applicable settings.

10. Your Choices

You can manage cookies through your browser settings, consent tools shown on the website where applicable, and advertising controls such as Google Ads Settings. You can also choose not to interact with embedded YouTube players and use direct external links only where available.

11. Children's Privacy

Findnoise is a general audience website and is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated date.

Advertising, consent, and regional privacy choices

Findnoise may display advertising through Google AdSense after the website is approved for ad serving. When ads are served, Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, device information, browser information, and similar technologies to deliver ads, measure performance, prevent fraud, and support advertising services.

Visitors in regions where consent or privacy choices are required may see consent messages, privacy prompts, or advertising choices provided through Google or other approved consent tools. These controls may vary depending on the visitor’s country, state, browser, device, and applicable law.

For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, consent may be requested where required for cookies, local storage, and personalized advertising. For visitors in certain United States jurisdictions, privacy choices may be provided where applicable. Findnoise aims to present these choices without blocking access to ordinary public content.

YouTube embedded player data

Findnoise sound pages use standard YouTube embedded players. These players are provided by YouTube and Google, and they may load third-party resources when a page opens or when a visitor interacts with the player. YouTube and Google may process information according to their own policies and the settings that apply to the visitor.

The embedded player is used because Findnoise publishes long-form sound videos through the official Findnoise YouTube channel. The website adds written descriptions, guide content, category context, search, related navigation, and policy information around those videos.

Privacy limits of public content

Most Findnoise content can be read or played without creating an account on the website. Public pages are designed for browsing and listening. Findnoise does not ask visitors to submit sensitive personal information through a public form. If a visitor chooses to contact Findnoise by email, the message content and sender information are handled only for communication, review, correction, support, or business purposes.

Findnoise does not sell direct contact messages as a data product. However, third-party platforms used by the site, including Google and YouTube, may process information under their own privacy terms when their services are loaded or used.
