last updated: february 2026

overview

resonance is committed to your privacy. this policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data. resonance does not require accounts and collects minimal personal information.

data we collect

content you submit

when you share a memory, we store the memory text, an optional display name, an optional date, and an optional youtube video selection. submissions are anonymous by default. we also store a randomly generated anonymous identifier (in your browser's local storage) with each memory so you can claim your submissions in the future. this identifier is not linked to any personal information.

emoji reactions

when you react to a memory, we store a randomly generated anonymous identifier (in your browser's local storage) along with the emoji and which memory it was for. this identifier is not linked to any personal information.

reports

when you flag content, we store the report reason and which memory was flagged. no personal information about the reporter is collected.

analytics

we use google analytics 4 (ga4) to understand how people use resonance and improve the experience.

ga4 collects:

• page and usage data: pages visited, time on page, browser type, device type, and operating system.
• interaction events: we track actions such as creating a memory, searching for songs, previewing share sheets, and sharing memories. these events contain no personal information, only the type of action and general context (e.g., which template was used, not the content of your memory).
• outbound link clicks: when you click a link that leaves resonance.moonpath.dev (such as an amazon, spotify, youtube, or apple music link), we record the click destination, the type of link (e.g., "amazon affiliate", "spotify", "youtube"), and the song associated with the link. we do not track your activity on the destination site.
• traffic source data: we record how you arrived at resonance.moonpath.dev, including the referring website and any utm campaign parameters in the url.
• approximate location: ga4 infers your approximate geographic location (city and country level) from your ip address. we do not see or store your ip address directly.

we do not use this data to identify individual users. the content of your memories (text, display names, dates) is never included in analytics events.

ga4 uses cookies to distinguish unique visitors. you can opt out by using the google analytics opt-out browser add-on. subject to google's privacy policy.

session storage

during your visit, traffic source information (referring website, utm campaign parameters) is stored temporarily in your browser's session storage. this data is automatically cleared when you close your browser and is used only to provide context in analytics events.

cookies

resonance uses minimal cookies:

• theme preference cookie (moonpath_theme): stores your light/dark mode choice so it carries over across moonpath.dev sites. set on the .moonpath.dev domain, contains only "light" or "dark", expires after one year. not used for tracking.
• local storage: random anonymous ids for emoji reactions and memory submissions (not tracking cookies). these allow you to manage your reactions and claim your memories in the future.
• google analytics cookies: used to distinguish unique visitors and track site usage. these are set by google.
• session storage: traffic source information (referring website, utm parameters) is stored temporarily in your browser's session storage during your visit. this data is automatically cleared when you close your browser and is used only to provide context in analytics events.

we do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels. for full details, see our cookie policy.

amazon associates

resonance is a participant in the amazon services llc associates program, an affiliate advertising program. when you click on amazon links on our site, we record the click in our analytics (including which song page the link was on) to understand how our affiliate links are used. amazon may also set cookies to track the referral. these cookies are governed by amazon's privacy notice. we receive a small commission on qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you.

youtube api services

resonance uses youtube api services to search for and display music content. by using resonance, you acknowledge and agree to the google privacy policy.

you can revoke resonance's access to your data at any time via the google security settings page.

resonance does not store any youtube user tokens or request access to your youtube account. we use a server-side api key to search for videos and display embeds. no youtube data is persisted beyond the current server session.
