Privacy Policy

Overview

MusicianSpace (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates musicianspace.net and related subdomains, and provides a musician-focused profile, media, and publishing workspace. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, store, and protect your information when you use our services, and explains your choices regarding your information.

MusicianSpace is committed to protecting your privacy and complying with all applicable laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for EU/EEA users and applicable US state privacy laws including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

Our services contain links to third-party websites and integrations. Information collected by those third parties is governed by their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites or platforms.

1. What Information We Collect

We collect information in three ways: information you provide directly, information collected automatically, and information from third-party sources.

1a. Information You Provide Directly

• Contact information — your name and email address, collected during registration
• Account credentials — username and password if you register with email
• OAuth profile data — when you sign in with Google or Facebook, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from those providers
• Profile and content inputs — names, links, release details, event details, descriptions, and other content you add to your musician space
• Uploaded images — photos and artwork you upload to accompany your profile, releases, events, or updates
• Communications preferences — settings related to service updates and support messages
• Communications — any messages or feedback you send us via email or support channels

1b. Information Collected Automatically

When you use MusicianSpace, we automatically collect certain technical and usage information including:

• Log data — IP address, browser type and version, operating system, pages visited, time and date of visits, referring URLs
• Device information — hardware model, screen resolution, and device identifiers
• Usage data — features used, content edited or published, clicks, and other interactions with the platform
• Session data — login times, session duration, and navigation patterns

This information is collected using cookies and similar technologies as described in Section 4, and via Cloudflare Web Analytics.

1c. Information From Third Parties

We may receive information about you from third-party sources including:

• Google and Facebook — profile data when you authenticate via OAuth
• Cloudflare — request and security metadata for infrastructure protection
• Infrastructure and security providers — request metadata and abuse-prevention signals needed to protect the platform

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information for the following purposes:

2a. To Provide the Service

• Create and manage your account
• Authenticate you when you log in
• Save and publish the content you add to your musician space
• Store uploaded media and artwork for your public pages

• Protect the platform from abuse, spam, and security threats

2b. To Communicate With You

• Respond to your support requests and inquiries
• Notify you of changes to the platform or these policies

We will not send you marketing emails without your explicit consent. You can opt out of any non-essential communications at any time by contacting [email protected].

2c. To Improve the Platform

• Analyze usage patterns to improve features and user experience
• Monitor platform performance and fix technical issues

We use only anonymized and aggregated data for platform improvement. We do not use your personal profile, release, event, or media content for unrelated product training or resale.

• Enforce our Terms of Service
• Protect the rights, property, and safety of MusicianSpace, its users, and the public

3. Media and Security Processing

MusicianSpace processes certain data through infrastructure and security services needed to operate the platform. You should be aware of the following:

• Media hosting — uploaded images and artwork are stored and served through infrastructure providers so your musician space can display them
• Security screening — requests, uploads, and account activity may be checked for abuse, spam, malware, or unauthorized access attempts
• Authentication — OAuth providers process the information needed to sign you in when you choose Google or Facebook login

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of Google, Meta, Cloudflare, and any other provider you use through the platform to understand how they handle data submitted through their services.

4. cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate and improve the Service.

4a. Necessary cookies

These are required for the Service to function. They enable core features such as authentication, session management, and security. These cannot be disabled without breaking the Service.

4b. Functional cookies

These remember preferences such as display settings and help us personalize your experience on the platform.

4c. Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. Cloudflare Web Analytics does not use cookies and does not track individuals across sites — it provides only aggregated, privacy-respecting analytics data.

4d. Managing cookies

You can configure your browser to refuse or delete cookies at any time. However, disabling necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in and using the Service. MusicianSpace does not currently respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals.

5. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We share your information only in the following circumstances:

5a. With Service Providers

We share information with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate the platform, under strict contractual obligations to protect your data:

• Email and infrastructure providers — transactional delivery and platform operations
• Google — OAuth authentication
• Facebook / Meta — OAuth authentication
• Storage and infrastructure providers — hosting, media delivery, backups, and platform operations
• Security and abuse-prevention providers — bot detection, DDoS protection, and platform protection
• Transactional email providers — account verification, password reset, and service messages
• Cloudflare — infrastructure, DDoS protection, CDN, and privacy-respecting analytics

Each provider is required to handle your data only as necessary to provide their specific service and in compliance with applicable privacy laws.

5b. For Legal Reasons

We may disclose your information if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to:

• Comply with a legal obligation, court order, or government request
• Enforce our Terms of Service or protect our legal rights
• Protect the safety or security of our users or the public
• Investigate or prevent fraud or security incidents

5c. Business Transactions

If MusicianSpace is involved in a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or similar business transaction, your information may be transferred to the relevant third party as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

5d. With Your Consent

We may share your information with third parties when you explicitly direct us to do so or provide your consent.

6. Data Storage and Security

MusicianSpace stores your data on servers located in the United States. If you are located in the EU/EEA, your data is transferred to and processed in the United States. We rely on standard contractual clauses and other appropriate safeguards for international data transfers as required by GDPR.

We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS), access controls, and security monitoring. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and logging out after each session.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. When you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable period, except where retention is required by law. See our Terms of Service Section 9 for details on what happens to your content upon account deletion.

8. Your Rights — EEA / UK Residents (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right to access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Right to rectification — request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
• Right to erasure — request deletion of your personal data (“right to be forgotten”)
• Right to data portability — request your data in a commonly used machine-readable format
• Right to restriction — request that we limit how we process your data
• Right to object — object to processing based on legitimate interests
• Right to withdraw consent — where processing is based on consent, withdraw it at any time
• Right to lodge a complaint — file a complaint with your local data protection authority (e.g., ICO in the UK, or your national DPA in the EU)

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days. Response time may be extended by up to two additional months for complex requests.

9. Your Rights — US Residents (CCPA / State Privacy Laws)

If you are a resident of California or another US state with applicable privacy legislation, you may have the following rights:

• Right to know — request the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the sources, purposes, and third parties we share it with
• Right to delete — request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions
• Right to correct — request correction of inaccurate personal information
• Right to opt out of sale — MusicianSpace does not sell your personal information
• Right to non-discrimination — we will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will verify your identity before processing your request. You may designate an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf.

10. MusicianSpace as a Data Processor

When MusicianSpace acts as a tool for creators — processing profile, media, release, event, and update content for public musician spaces — MusicianSpace may act as a “data processor” on behalf of those creators who are the “data controllers” for their own audience-facing content. In these circumstances, MusicianSpace processes data only as directed by the creator’s use of the Service.

Creators using MusicianSpace to publish content are themselves responsible for complying with applicable privacy laws with respect to their audience, including GDPR obligations if their musician space serves EU users.

11. Children's Privacy

MusicianSpace is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete such information promptly. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately at [email protected].

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post any changes on this page with a revised date at the top. For material changes, we will provide more prominent notice via email or a notice on the platform. Continued use of MusicianSpace after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. If you disagree with any changes, you must stop using the Service.
