What Birthday Song with Name collects when you type a name, which providers handle it, how long it is kept, and how to get a song removed.

Oct 21, 2026

The short version

This is a free tool that turns a name into a birthday song. There are no accounts, no payments, and no newsletter. The only thing you have to give us is a name, and the only thing we keep in our own database is the name itself, so the song can be recorded and served again. If a name is still in the queue, you can choose to leave an email address so we can tell you when it is ready. We also use two analytics tools, Microsoft Clarity and Google Analytics, to see how the site is used. They set cookies, which are listed below.

What we collect

The name you type. This is the one piece of content the tool needs. If a song for that name already exists, we serve it and add one to its play count. If it does not, the name joins a recording queue together with a count of how often it has been asked for, so we know which names to record next.

Your IP address, briefly. When a name is not in the library yet, your IP address is held in server memory for a few seconds to stop a single source from flooding the queue. It is not written to our database.

An email address, only if you choose to leave one. When a name is queued, you can ask to be emailed once the song is recorded. We store that address next to the name, send one email about that song, and delete the address straight after. It is not used for anything else and is never added to a mailing list.

Your browser remembers queued names. Names you queued are saved in your own browser's local storage, so the site can tell you on your next visit that a song is ready. They stay on your device, and clearing site data removes them.

Usage analytics. Microsoft Clarity and Google Analytics record how the site is used: the pages you visit, clicks, scrolling, mouse movement, your device and browser type, the page that sent you here, and an approximate location derived from your IP address. Clarity also builds session replays and heatmaps that show how a page was used. Anything typed into an input box, including the name and email fields, is masked in those replays and never sent to Clarity, and numbers and email addresses shown on the page are masked as well. Other page text is not masked, so once a song is ready, a replay can show the name it was made for. Song page addresses contain the name too (for example /happy-birthday/emma), and so do links that open the generator with a name filled in, so both tools record it as part of the page address. These tools tell browsers apart with a random ID stored in a cookie, not with your name or email.

Nothing else. We do not create an account for you, and we never see payment details, because nothing here is for sale.

How the songs are made

Songs are not generated while you wait. We record queued names in batches with AI singing-voice software, then upload the finished audio so it is ready the next time anyone asks for that name. The name is the only input that software receives.

Every recorded name has its own page, such as /happy-birthday/emma, where the song can be played and downloaded. Sharing a song sends a link to that page. Anyone with the link can open it, and the page is marked so search engines do not index it. The page is the same for everyone who asks for that name, and it does not say who shared it.

Why a name is not usually personal data

A first name on its own — Emma, Joe, Siobhán — does not identify anyone in particular. We do not link the names you type to you, to each other, or to any profile. If you type a full name, be aware it is stored in the queue and, once recorded, alongside the audio produced from it, and it appears in the address of that song's page.

Third parties involved

Vercel hosts the website. Like any web host, it keeps standard request logs, which include IP addresses, for a limited period.
Supabase hosts the database that holds the song library and the recording queue.
Cloudflare R2 stores the audio files and delivers them to your browser.
Resend delivers the one-off email when you ask to be notified about a queued name.
Microsoft Clarity records usage analytics, session replays, and heatmaps.
Google Analytics records usage analytics.

They process this data so the tool can work and so we can see how it is used. Microsoft and Google also handle analytics data under their own terms: see the Microsoft Privacy Statement and the Google Privacy Policy. We do not sell data to anyone, and there is no advertising on this site.

How long things are kept

Recorded songs are kept indefinitely, because reuse is exactly what makes the tool free — a song made once is served to everyone who asks for that name afterwards. Queued names stay until they are recorded or removed. A notification email address is deleted as soon as the email about that song is sent, or when the name is removed from the queue. The in-memory IP check lasts a few seconds. Clarity keeps recorded sessions for 30 days. Google Analytics keeps user-level and event-level data for 14 months. Aggregated reports in both tools can be kept longer.

Getting something removed

If a song or a queued name should be deleted, email support@birthdaysonggen.com and say which name. We will remove the audio and the record of it. We cannot tell which request was originally yours, since we do not track that.

Cookies

The analytics tools set cookies so they can recognize a returning browser:

_clck (Microsoft Clarity, 1 year) stores the random Clarity user ID.
_clsk (Microsoft Clarity, 1 day) links page views into a single session.
_ga and _ga_<ID> (Google Analytics, up to 2 years) tell visitors and sessions apart.

Clarity can also set cookies on Microsoft's own domain, such as MUID and CLID, which Microsoft uses to recognize a browser across sites that use its services.

If you arrive through a link tagged with a utm_source campaign label, a first-party cookie keeps that label for 30 days. It identifies the link, not you, and is not shared with anyone. Your browser may also store a theme preference locally so the site remembers light or dark mode. That never leaves your device.

You can block or delete these cookies in your browser settings, and the tool keeps working without them. Google also offers a browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics.
