The short version first, the full policy below.
IN THREE LINES
Your clips and your email, so we can diagnose and prescribe. Nothing else is collected.
Only DVL staff watch them. We never sell them or use them for ads.
Clips are deleted automatically 30 days after you get feedback. Account data is kept until you ask us to delete it.
We answer within 30 days. Deleting your clips is permanent.

FULL POLICY
EFFECTIVE 14 OCTOBER 2026 · VERSION 2026-10-02
Geochinsori Yeonguhoe (거친소리 연구회), trading as Distorted Vocal Lab (“we”, “us”), operates Distorted Vocal Lab (the “Service”) from the Republic of Korea. We comply with the Korean Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
We do not use your data for any other purpose, and we will ask for your consent before any change of purpose.
Under statute or our own retention standard, the following are kept for the periods below even after account deletion, and then erased. For EU users this retention relies on GDPR Art. 17(3)(b).
Once the retention period ends or the purpose is met, we erase the data without undue delay. Electronic files are deleted by means that make them unrecoverable. Data we must keep by law is stored separately.
We operate the Service from the Republic of Korea, but we entrust processing to the companies below, all of which store or process data outside Korea.
Legal basis: these transfers are necessary to perform our contract with you. For EU/EEA users we rely on GDPR Art. 6(1)(b) (contract); for Korean users on PIPA Art. 28-8(1)(3) (processing entrusted or stored abroad where necessary to perform the contract with the data subject). The particulars required by PIPA Art. 28-8(2) — recipient, country, data, timing and method, purpose and retention — are disclosed below. We therefore do not ask for a separate overseas-transfer consent checkbox.
If you choose Google sign-in, we receive your email, name and profile photo from Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). Google's terms also name Google Ireland Limited for consumer services in the EU.
Korea benefits from an EU adequacy decision. Transfers to other countries are protected by Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards. Data processing agreements are in place with the processors we currently use.
The transfer to Paddle begins when paid subscriptions launch; we will confirm its data processing agreement and update this Policy at that point.
We do not disclose your personal data to third parties without your consent or a legal basis, and we never share it for advertising or analytics.
We use no analytics or advertising cookies. We only use the following essential and functional storage.
You must be 16 or older to use the Service. We ask you to confirm this at sign-up, and we delete the data of anyone under 16 as soon as we become aware of it.
You may access, correct, delete, restrict, object, withdraw consent and download (port) your data at any time. Use the in-app settings (data export, account deletion) or the contact below; we respond without undue delay and within one month under the GDPR. EU users may lodge a complaint with their local supervisory authority.
Encryption in transit (HTTPS), row-level access control, least-privilege admin access, access logging and regular permission audits.
Remedies: Korea Internet & Security Agency privacy report centre (118, privacy.kisa.or.kr), Personal Information Dispute Mediation Committee (1833-6972, www.kopico.go.kr)
