tapaboom.io · updated 2026-09-05

Last updated: 2026-09-15. This page explains what TapaBoom (tapaboom.io) stores about you and why. The short version: you can use the whole soundboard without an account, and we store as little as we can.

Without an account

Playing and downloading sounds needs no account. Likes and soundpads you create as a guest are kept in your browser (local storage) and never leave your device unless you sign in and choose to keep them. Our servers keep standard access logs (IP address, browser type, requested page, time) for security and to count plays; logs are rotated and not used to build profiles.

With an account

You can sign in with Google or Discord. We receive and store only what is needed to run your profile: an account identifier, your email address, display name and avatar. We do not get your password and we do not post anything on your behalf. Signing in sets a session cookie (tb_session) so you stay logged in.

What you create

Sounds you upload, buttons you design and public soundpads are shown on the site under your username. You can hide a soundpad or delete an upload from your profile at any time.

Analytics

To understand which sounds and pages people actually use, we run two analytics services: Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC) and Yandex Metrica (YANDEX LLC), including Metrica's session replay (Webvisor). They set their own cookies (for example _ga and _ym_uid) and collect pseudonymous usage data: pages viewed, clicks, scrolling and mouse movement, approximate location derived from the IP address, device and browser type. We use these reports only to improve the site — not for advertising — and we do not link them to your TapaBoom account. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on and the Yandex Metrica opt-out, or by blocking cookies for tapaboom.io in your browser.

Cookies and third parties

We use one first-party session cookie for login, browser storage for guest data, and the analytics cookies described above. The site is served through Cloudflare, which processes connection data to protect the site. We do not run advertising trackers.

Deleting your data

Write to [email protected] from the email linked to your account and we will delete the account, uploads and profile data. Guest data lives only in your browser — clearing site data removes it.

Children

TapaBoom is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.
