Privacy

When you drop a WhatsApp or iMessage export into chatbop, it's opened and parsed on your device, in your browser. The file itself is never uploaded to us as a whole.

Your browser counts messages, emojis and late-night texts, then picks a sample of messages (at most around 120,000 characters) to send to our server, together with those stats, the names you choose and your song settings (who it's for, the genre, the language, anything you tell us to include or avoid).

Our server forwards that sample to Anthropic (the company behind Claude), which writes the title, lyrics and style of your song, and processes it under its commercial API terms. We don't keep the sample or the stats on our servers once the song is written.

To turn lyrics into music, we send the lyrics, title and musical style (not your chat) to our music-generation provider. Once a take is finished we copy the audio to our own storage so your song link keeps working; the provider deletes its copy after about two weeks.

Payments are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your card number. We keep a payment reference so we know which song it unlocked.

Once a song is written we keep the song itself (title, lyrics, the handful of quoted “receipts”, fun facts and the audio) on our servers so its link works on any device. A song that is never recorded is deleted after 30 days; a recorded song is kept for a year, or until you ask us to delete it. We also keep the email address you confirmed, to send you the song and to show you your songs when you sign in, and nothing else.

To see where people get stuck, we use Amplitude. It records which pages you open and what you choose along the way (who the song is for, the music style, the language), plus numbers about your chat: how many messages, how many people, the size of the file. It never gets what was said, the names, your lyrics or your email, and we don't record your screen.

To know whether our ads work, the site loads the Meta (Facebook, Instagram) and TikTok pixels. They set cookies and tell those two companies which pages of chatbop you opened and whether you made a song, reached the offer, started checkout or paid, with the price. When you pay, our server also confirms the purchase to them, with a scrambled (hashed) version of your email, your IP address and browser, so the sale is counted even when the pixel was blocked. We never send them your chat, your lyrics or your name.

• Only upload conversations you're part of.
• Your friends are in there too — think about whether they'd be happy to hear their messages sung.
• Don't use chatbop to embarrass, harass or expose anyone.
