Disclosures

Advertising

TrackGleam does not currently display third-party ads. The tool is funded entirely by the optional AI Master (see "How we make money" below). If we ever introduce advertising, we'll update this page and disclose exactly how it works — including any cookies and opt-outs — before turning it on.

Analytics & cookies

We use Microsoft Clarity and Google's tools to understand, in aggregate, how the site is used so we can improve it — things like which features get used and where people get stuck. This may involve cookies and similar technologies. We do not sell your personal information.

How AI is used

The optional AI Master uses AI to configure your master — the AI reads numeric measurements of your track (loudness, tonal balance, dynamics, stereo profile) and chooses mastering settings. The actual audio processing is classic DSP running in your browser, not generative AI, and your audio is never sent to the AI or to any server. Only the numbers are. The free master uses no AI at all.

How we make money

Mainly one way, and it's honest: the optional AI Master — a premium watermark-free download you can preview free and unlock with a small one-time purchase (a single master or a Creator Pack) or the optional Producer subscription. The core mastering tool is free and always will be.

We also include one affiliate link: when your master is ready, we suggest DistroKid for getting it onto Spotify, Apple Music and other stores. If you sign up through that link, TrackGleam may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you (new artists also get a discount). We recommend DistroKid because it's genuinely what most independent artists use to distribute their music — not because of the commission. We don't run display ads, and this is the only affiliate link on the site; if that ever changes, we'll disclose it clearly here first.

Payments

Purchases are processed securely by Stripe. We never see or store your full card details. Where Stripe acts as merchant of record, applicable sales tax/VAT is calculated and handled at checkout.
