Income is Cyneqi Premium (£1.99) and Premium+ (£8.99) subscriptions via PayPal, nothing else. The £90 goal is the two server bills plus a small reserve for bandwidth beyond the allowance and for the months when subscriptions dip. 10% of every subscription goes into a charity fund, sent to a charity at the end of each month. There are no ads sold, no sponsorships and no donations outside Premium.
Per-server health, capacity and today's activity are always public on the Status page.
| Data | Why we keep it | How long | Who can see it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Discord ID, username, avatar, email | To sign you in and show your name on the site and on your stream's host card. Email is only what Discord provides; we never send mail. | Until you ask us to delete your account | You; your username and avatar on streams you host and playlists you publish |
| Custom display name and picture | Optional, set in the profile editor; shown instead of your Discord name. | Until you change or remove it | Same as above |
| Playlists (titles, YouTube video IDs, order) | So your playlists are there next time. | Until you delete them | You; everyone if you publish a playlist |
| Premium preferences (custom images, toggles, layout) | To render your stream card the way you set it. | Until you change them | You; viewers of your stream see the result |
| PayPal subscription ID and status | To know whether Premium is active. We never see or store card numbers, bank details or your PayPal password. | While the subscription record exists | You and the admin |
| Sessions (stream link ID, party code, queue) | To run your stream. No account needed. | Unused sessions: 1 day. Used: 14 days. Account-linked: 60 days after last use | Anyone you give the link or code to |
| Per-browser member ID | A random ID in your browser storage, used only to enforce per-member queue and skip limits in a party. | Until you clear site data | The streaming server, per session |
| Viewer IP addresses | Counted in memory for 30 seconds to show "viewers" on a stream. Never written to disk. | 30 seconds | Nobody; only the count is shown |
| Aggregate counters | Songs played, stream hours, GB served, request counts per day, for the Status page and capacity planning. | 62 days | Public, as totals only |
Cyneqi Music lets you search YouTube and stream music into VRChat instances through a personal stream link. It is a small, independently run service provided as-is, with no uptime or availability guarantee. Current health is published on the Status page.
Each server has a fixed number of concurrent stream slots. Streams idle for four minutes stop automatically, and some slots are reserved for Premium hosts. We may limit sessions that are clearly automated or abusive.
Breaking these rules can result in removal of sessions, published playlists or account access. Severe abuse may be reported to VRChat or Discord.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the service is provided without warranties of any kind, and we are not liable for any damages arising from its use or unavailability.
These terms may be updated as the service evolves; the current version always lives on this page with the date above. Continued use after changes means you accept them.
Cyneqi Music is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by VRChat Inc., YouTube/Google, Discord or PayPal.
