Ketburn is a free, browser-based music visualizer with a live public chat feature. It is provided as-is for entertainment purposes. There is no account system, no login, and no registration.
Ketburn collects the absolute minimum data required for the chat feature to function:
Display name: A nickname you choose when you join. This is not verified and does not need to be your real name. It is stored temporarily on Firebase (Google's real-time database service) and on your device via localStorage.
Chat messages: Text messages you send in the public chat. These are transmitted via Firebase so other connected users can see them. All messages are automatically and permanently deleted after 5 minutes. No message history is retained.
Avatar selection: Your chosen avatar icon, stored on your device via localStorage and shared with Firebase so other users can see it.
Audio data: If you grant microphone or screen audio access, the audio is processed entirely within your browser for visualisation purposes. No audio data is transmitted, stored, or recorded anywhere. It never leaves your device.
Ketburn does not collect, store, or process any of the following: real names, email addresses, phone numbers, passwords, IP addresses, location data, payment information, cookies for tracking, analytics data, or any other personally identifiable information.
Ketburn uses Firebase Realtime Database (operated by Google) to relay chat messages and user presence between connected devices. Firebase processes the display name, avatar choice, and chat messages you provide. Google's privacy policy applies to data processed by Firebase: policies.google.com/privacy
Ketburn uses Google Fonts to load typefaces. No other third-party services, analytics, advertising, or tracking tools are used.
Chat messages are automatically deleted from Firebase after 5 minutes by the application. No backups of chat messages are made. Display names and avatar choices persist on your device via localStorage until you clear your browser data. User presence data in Firebase is removed when you disconnect.
If you are located in the UK or European Economic Area, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR, including the right to access, rectify, and delete your personal data.
Since Ketburn does not collect personally identifiable information and all chat data is automatically deleted within 5 minutes, there is typically no personal data to access, rectify, or delete. If you have concerns, you can contact us at the email below.
You can delete all locally stored data (display name and avatar choice) at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage for ketburn.com.
Ketburn is not intended for anyone under 18. The chat feature is a public, unmoderated space.

Users who engage in discriminatory behaviour in the chat may have their messages removed. By using Ketburn, you agree to treat all users with respect and dignity.
