Optional YouTube videos

To find a matching video, our server searches the YouTube Data API using the song's public title and artist name. This lookup does not send lyrics, private stories or account details, and does not use OpenAI. We temporarily save the video reference for up to 28 days.

Song pages may offer an optional YouTube video. We do not load the embedded player until you choose to open it. Opening the player connects your device to Google/YouTube, which may receive your IP address, device information and playback activity under Google's Privacy Policy.

Australian Privacy Act and APPs

• Where the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and Australian Privacy Principles apply, we handle personal information in a transparent way and only collect information reasonably necessary for Mong's functions and activities.
• You may use Mong without creating an account where account features are not required. Some features, such as saving items or account management, need account information to work.
• We take reasonable steps to keep personal information accurate, protected against misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure.
• We do not use Australian government identifiers as our own identifiers.

Retention

• Account records are kept while your account is active or as needed to provide the service.
• Search, generation, rate-limit, and security logs may be kept for abuse prevention, debugging, analytics, and cost control.
• We delete, anonymize, or aggregate data when it is no longer needed for the purposes described here, unless we need to keep it for legal, security, or operational reasons.

Service providers

• We may use hosting, database, email, analytics, payment, music metadata, and AI infrastructure providers to operate Mong.
• Those providers process data only as needed to deliver their service to Mong.
• We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect Mong and its users, to investigate abuse, or in connection with a business transfer such as a merger or sale of assets.
• We do not sell personal data.

Cookies and analytics

• Essential cookies support login, security, localization, and cookie consent.
• Loads usage and performance measurement from Vercel and Google only if you allow optional analytics. Your advertising choices stay separate.
• Choose which services can load. Analytics and advertising have separate controls. You can return here from the footer at any time.

Advertising and your choices

• Google AdSense may use cookies and identifiers depending on your choices, the applicable settings and the type of ad. You can change your preferences at any time using the permanent privacy control in the footer. Earlier refusals remain in effect until you change them.

International processing

• Mong may process data in countries other than your own because our infrastructure and service providers may be international.
• Your information may be disclosed to or processed by providers in Australia, the United States, the European Union, and other countries where our providers operate.
• Where Australian Privacy Principle 8 applies, we take reasonable steps before cross-border disclosure, or rely on an available exception, and limit processing to the purposes described in this policy.
