GDPR & California Privacy Rights Notice

Last updated: August 2026

This notice explains privacy rights that may apply to users of OnlinePitchChanger.com under the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, and California privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA).

These laws do not necessarily apply to OnlinePitchChanger.com in every situation. The rights described below apply where the relevant law covers our processing of your personal information.

For a broader explanation of what information may be processed when you use the site, please read our Privacy Policy.

OnlinePitchChanger.com is independently operated by John Mayer.

Information That May Be Processed

The information involved depends on how you use the website.

It may include:

  • information you voluntarily provide through email or contact forms;
  • IP address and basic network information;
  • browser and device information;
  • page visits and website interactions;
  • cookies or similar identifiers;
  • approximate location derived from technical information;
  • information processed by analytics, advertising, hosting, security, or embedded-service providers.

Some tools are designed to process media locally within your browser. For tools identified as local-processing tools, selected media is not intentionally uploaded to OnlinePitchChanger.com servers for processing or permanent storage.

Technical details about tool and media handling are available on our Data Security page.

GDPR and UK GDPR Rights

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies to the processing of your personal data, you may have certain rights depending on the circumstances.

These may include:

Right of access
You may be able to request confirmation about whether your personal data is being processed and obtain a copy of qualifying personal data.

Right to rectification
You may request correction of inaccurate personal data or completion of information that is incomplete.

Right to erasure
You may be able to request deletion of certain personal data where the legal requirements for deletion are met.

This right is not absolute, and information may sometimes need to be retained for legal, security, recordkeeping, or other permitted purposes.

Right to restrict processing
In certain circumstances, you may request that the use of your personal data be restricted.

Right to data portability
Where legally applicable, you may have the right to receive certain personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format or request that it be transferred to another organization.

Right to object
You may have the right to object to certain processing, including some processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing.

Right to withdraw consent
Where processing relies on your consent, you may generally withdraw that consent at any time.

Withdrawal does not make earlier processing based on valid consent unlawful.

Rights relating to automated decisions
Where applicable, you may have protections relating to decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

The public music and audio tools on OnlinePitchChanger.com are not intended to make legal, employment, credit, healthcare, or similarly significant automated decisions about users.

Legal Bases for Processing

Where the GDPR applies, the lawful basis for processing personal data depends on the information involved and why it is processed.

Depending on the circumstances, a lawful basis may include:

  • your consent;
  • legitimate interests;
  • performance of a contract or steps requested before entering one;
  • compliance with a legal obligation;
  • another lawful basis permitted under applicable data-protection law.

For example, consent may be relevant to certain non-essential cookies or advertising technologies where required, while legitimate operational interests may apply to website security, abuse prevention, or maintaining the service.

The applicable basis should be considered in the context of the specific processing activity.

Exercising GDPR Rights

To submit a privacy request, contact:

support@onlinepitchchanger.com

It helps to describe:

  • the right you wish to exercise;
  • the information or interaction concerned;
  • the email address or other information relevant to locating your data, if applicable.

We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity or authority before fulfilling a request where permitted or required by law.

Please do not send passports, government identification documents, financial records, or other sensitive identification material unless specifically requested through an appropriate method.

Where the GDPR applies, qualifying requests are generally handled without undue delay and within the period required by applicable law. Some requests may require additional time where legally permitted because of their complexity or number.

California Privacy Rights

California privacy laws may provide residents with specific rights where OnlinePitchChanger.com is subject to those laws for the processing concerned.

These rights may include:

Right to know
You may have the right to request information about categories or specific pieces of personal information collected, used, disclosed, sold, or shared as defined by applicable California law.

Right to delete
You may be able to request deletion of certain personal information, subject to applicable exceptions.

Right to correct
You may have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information.

Right to opt out of sale or sharing
Where applicable, you may have the right to opt out of the sale of personal information or the sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Right to limit certain uses of sensitive personal information
Where legally applicable and relevant to the information processed, California law may provide rights concerning certain uses or disclosures of sensitive personal information.

Right to non-discrimination
Where the CCPA/CPRA applies, exercising qualifying privacy rights should not result in unlawful discriminatory treatment.

Not every right applies to every type of information or processing activity.

Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

OnlinePitchChanger.com does not intend to sell private audio or video selected for local browser processing.

We also do not intend to sell contact messages or email addresses submitted for ordinary support or editorial inquiries.

However, California privacy law uses specific definitions of sale and sharing that can include certain advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising activities even when money is not directly exchanged for personal information.

Third-party advertising technologies may therefore involve activity that qualifies as “sharing” under California law depending on:

  • how the service is configured;
  • what information is processed;
  • the site’s legal status;
  • applicable privacy law.

Where required, users may be given appropriate opt-out or consent choices through available privacy controls.

For more information about advertising technologies and cookies, see our Cookie Policy.

Global Privacy Control

Global Privacy Control (GPC) is a browser-based signal that can communicate a user’s preference to opt out of certain data sales or sharing.

Where applicable law requires recognition of GPC and our active consent or advertising systems support the signal, it may be used to communicate an applicable opt-out preference.

The effect of GPC may depend on:

  • your browser;
  • your location;
  • applicable law;
  • the consent and advertising technologies currently active on the website.

Sensitive Personal Information

OnlinePitchChanger.com does not intentionally request information such as government identification numbers, financial account credentials, or similarly sensitive personal information for ordinary use of its public tools.

Please do not send highly sensitive personal information through standard email or contact forms unless specifically requested through an appropriate method.

If users voluntarily include sensitive information in a message, it may still be processed as part of handling that communication.

Cookies, Advertising, and Consent Choices

OnlinePitchChanger.com may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes such as:

  • website functionality;
  • security;
  • analytics;
  • advertising;
  • embedded third-party services;
  • consent management.

Where applicable law requires consent or an opt-out opportunity, available choices may be provided through the website’s current privacy or consent controls.

Users can also manage many cookie-related settings through their browsers.

See the Cookie Policy for more information.

Third-Party Services and International Processing

OnlinePitchChanger.com may rely on third-party service providers for functions such as:

  • hosting;
  • analytics;
  • advertising;
  • email;
  • security;
  • embedded media.

Some providers may process information outside the country where you live.

Where applicable privacy law regulates international transfers, relevant safeguards may apply to those transfers.

Independent third-party providers maintain their own privacy practices and legal responsibilities.

Privacy Request Verification

We may take reasonable steps to verify a privacy request before providing access to, deleting, correcting, or otherwise acting on personal information.

Verification may depend on:

  • the type of request;
  • the sensitivity of the information;
  • the information we have available;
  • applicable legal requirements.

If we cannot reasonably verify a request, we may be unable to complete some or all of it.

Where applicable law permits privacy requests through an authorized representative, additional information may be required to verify the representative’s authority.

Complaints and Supervisory Authorities

Where the GDPR or similar data-protection law applies, you may have the right to complain to an appropriate data-protection authority if you believe your personal data has been handled unlawfully.

Information about EU data-protection rights and authorities is available through the European Commission’s data protection resources.

We encourage users to contact us first if they believe there is a privacy problem so we have an opportunity to review the issue.

Data Security

We use reasonable measures intended to protect the website and information processed through it, but no website or online service can guarantee absolute security.

For detailed information about:

  • local media processing;
  • microphone access;
  • third-party services;
  • HTTPS;
  • contact-form information;
  • security reporting,

see our Data Security page.
