Cookie & Local Storage Policy
1. What Are Cookies & Browser Storage Technologies?
Cookies and web storage technologies (including HTML5 LocalStorage, SessionStorage, and IndexedDB) are small data files or client-side storage structures placed on your device by websites you visit. They are used to make websites work securely and efficiently, remember authentication sessions, cache creative media for editing, and provide playback preferences.
At ONE CLAP ("we", "us", or "our"), we adhere to strict data minimization and transparency standards under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) and global privacy frameworks. We do not use invasive third-party ad-tracking cookies or sell your browsing history.
2. Storage Technologies Utilized by ONE CLAP
We classify our browser storage mechanisms into the following specific, necessary categories:
| Storage Key / Name | Provider | Category | Purpose & Expiration |
|---|---|---|---|
| firebase:authUser:[apiKey] | Firebase / Google Auth | Strictly Necessary | Maintains creator sign-in session and authorization tokens. Stored in IndexedDB / LocalStorage until user signs out. |
| oneclap_active_artist_uid | ONE CLAP (First-Party) | Strictly Necessary | Associates current session with the creator's verified craft profile. Cleared on browser close or sign-out. |
| oneclap_cookie_consent | ONE CLAP (First-Party) | Strictly Necessary | Remembers your cookie preferences and consent choices across visits. Persisted for 12 months. |
| oneclap_media_vault (IndexedDB) | ONE CLAP (First-Party) | Studio Functionality | Temporary in-browser cache holding your recorded video takes and custom audio during watermarking and trimming prior to upload. Stored locally on your machine. |
| youtube-nocookie.com (embeds) | YouTube / Google | Media Delivery | When you play approved audition videos, we use YouTube's official privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com), which prevents YouTube from storing tracking cookies unless you click play. |
3. Do We Use Third-Party Advertising Trackers?
ONE CLAP does NOT embed Meta Pixel, TikTok tracking tags, cross-site programmatic advertising cookies, or data-broker spyware. Our platform is strictly an artistic talent discovery engine and film industry casting network.
Our server-enforced Content Security Policy (CSP) restricts network connections strictly to approved Firebase cloud backends, Google Fonts, and the privacy-enhanced YouTube embed player.
4. How to Manage and Control Cookies
You have complete sovereignty over your browser data. You can control, inspect, or delete cookies and site storage at any time through your web browser settings:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies → See all site data and permissions.
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Manage Data.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data.
Note: Disabling strictly necessary storage (such as Firebase Authentication or IndexedDB) will prevent you from signing in, recording audition takes, or submitting challenge entries.
5. Compliance with India's DPDP Act, 2023
In accordance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023:
- Notice is provided prior to collecting or storing any personal data or persistent identifiers.
- Consent is freely given, specific, informed, and capable of being withdrawn at any time.
- You may exercise your statutory right to erasure, data review, or grievance redressal by contacting our designated Grievance Officer.
