iCloak

Effective Date: August 15, 2025

Last Updated: August 15, 2025

Welcome to iCloak. By using this website and its services, you agree to the following terms and conditions. Please read them carefully before making a purchase.

1. Overview

iCloak is a digital service that allows users to apply protective transformations ("cloaking") to their audio files. The processed output is delivered as a downloadable file for personal or professional use.

The cloaking process is intended to make audio more resistant to use in AI training but is not guaranteed to prevent all forms of automated analysis or copying.

2. Usage

Users can upload and process audio files at no charge to test the cloaking service and preview the full result in their browser. Downloading the protected file requires payment, and the download option appears only after the track has been successfully processed.

3. Pricing and Payment

All paid downloads are processed securely via PayPal. Prices are listed in AUD and include GST where applicable. You must ensure your payment method is valid and authorised.

4. Delivery

Once payment is completed, your cloaked file will be available immediately for download. Delivery is digital and occurs through the iCloak interface.

5. Refund Policy

Due to the nature of digital goods and the fact that cloaked files are delivered instantly, we do not offer refunds for change of mind or accidental purchases. However, if the service fails to deliver the cloaked file, or the file is faulty, you are entitled to a remedy under the Australian Consumer Law. In such cases, please contact us at hello@melodiq.io and we will work with you to provide an appropriate solution.

5A. Australian Consumer Law

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes any guarantees, warranties, rights, or remedies that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.

6. User Responsibility

You are solely responsible for the content you upload. Do not submit any material that you do not have the rights to use, or that violates intellectual property or privacy laws. iCloak accepts no liability for content you submit or distribute using the service.

6A. Ownership of Uploaded Content

You retain all ownership rights to your uploaded content. iCloak does not claim any rights over your audio other than those necessary to process and deliver the cloaked file. Files may be temporarily stored only to facilitate processing and delivery.

7. Use of the Service

You may not use iCloak for unlawful purposes, including the concealment of malicious or copyrighted material intended for unauthorised use. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access for any user found to be in breach of this clause.

8. Limitation of Liability

iCloak is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that the service will be error-free, uninterrupted, or fit for your specific purpose. In no event shall iCloak or its creators be liable for any loss of data, profit, or other damages resulting from the use or inability to use the service.

Nothing in this Section 8 is intended to exclude, restrict or modify any non-excludable rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

9. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to update or modify these terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page and take effect immediately.

10. Contact

For any questions, technical issues, or refund concerns, please contact us at hello@melodiq.io.

11. Privacy

Use of the service is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and store personal information.

12. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia. You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Queensland.

1. Our Commitment

We protect your music and your privacy. iCloak is designed to process your audio securely and discard it once processing is complete. We do not use your music to train AI models. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your content and personal information in compliance with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

2. Your Music Files

We do not retain your uploaded audio files except as required to deliver the cloaking service. Specifically:

• Audio is processed in temporary memory only.
• Protective noise is applied during your session.
• Audio data is discarded once processing completes.
• No permanent copies are stored on our servers or databases.

Operational exceptions: In rare cases, temporary retention may occur for technical troubleshooting, service improvement, or legal compliance. Any retained files will be deleted as soon as reasonably practicable.

3. AI Training Policy

We do not use your music to train AI models. Your uploaded content:

• Is not analyzed for machine learning purposes.
• Is not added to any training datasets.
• Is not shared with third-party AI services for training.
• Exists only temporarily to enable the cloaking process.

4. Data We Do Keep

To operate the service and meet legal obligations, we store limited metadata only:

• Session tracking: Anonymous session IDs for service functionality.
• Payment records: PayPal transaction IDs, payment status, and tax information where required.
• Usage statistics: Processing time and file size metrics (no audio content).
• Technical logs: Error messages and performance data for troubleshooting.

We do not store personally identifiable information unless you provide it voluntarily for customer support or communication purposes.

5. Session Privacy

• Each session uses a unique, anonymous identifier.
• No personal account is required unless you choose to create one in the future.
• Session data is cleared after processing or upon browser closure.
• Processing occurs on secure servers under our control.

6. Security Measures

• File uploads are encrypted in transit using HTTPS.
• Processing occurs in isolated, temporary memory environments.
• No permanent file storage systems are used for audio content.
• Payments are processed securely through PayPal — we do not store full payment details.

7. Your Rights

As we do not store personal information about our users, there is no personal data to access or correct. If you contact us directly, we will only use the information you provide for the purpose of responding to your enquiry and will not retain it longer than necessary.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Effective Date" will reflect the most recent update. Continued use of the service after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.

9. Governing Law

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia.
