Privacy Policy

What we collect

• Account info: email address, display name, handle, and password (stored hashed — we never see it).
• Profile info you provide: bio, creator roles, genres, city, avatar, and profile link.
• Content you upload: audio tracks, cover art, stories, event listings, ads, and playlists.
• Activity: plays, likes, boosts, comments, follows, and views — used for feeds and your analytics dashboard.
• Location (city-level only): the city on your profile. Listener geography in analytics is aggregated, and any location with fewer than 3 listeners is hidden entirely.

How we use it

To run the community: show your profile and tracks, order the Fresh Drops feed chronologically, compute Community Picks from boost counts, send you notifications about follows/likes/comments, and provide analytics. We do not sell your personal data. We do not use your content to train machine-learning models.

Payments

Artist Plan subscriptions, tips, and ticket purchases are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number — payment details go directly to Stripe under their privacy policy.

Sharing

Your public profile, tracks, stories, events, and comments are visible to anyone on the site — that is the point of a music community. We share data with our infrastructure providers (hosting, database, file storage) only as needed to operate the service. We disclose data if required by law.

Your controls

• Edit your profile anytime in Settings.
• Delete individual tracks, stories, events, or playlists from their pages.
• Delete your account anytime in Settings → Delete Account. This permanently removes your profile, tracks, and associated content.

Children

The Union is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has provided data, contact us and we will remove it.
