What We Collect
Audio Content
We store voice memos, stems, and demos uploaded for collaboration previews.
Identity Data
Real names and PRO (Performance Rights Organization) IDs for royalty distribution.
Music-Specific Data Usage
Unlike standard apps, our platform processes Audio Metadata. We use this to:
- Generate unique audio fingerprints to prevent copyright infringement.
- Connect your location to nearby verified recording studios.
- Sync your calendar with session bookings to avoid double-booking.
Third-Party Services
We may share data with trusted third-party service providers (such as hosting partners or analytics tools) only to the extent necessary to provide our services. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
Your Rights
Under various data protection laws, you have rights regarding your data, including:
- The right to access and export your data.
- The right to request deletion of your information.
- The right to withdraw consent for marketing communications.
Artist Control Notice
You can request the permanent deletion of your "Stems" and "Demos" at any time. However, contractual data regarding finalized bookings will be retained for 7 years for financial and tax audit purposes.
