1. Introduction

WeAD SoundChains ("we", "us") operates soundchains.org and related services. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our platform.

2. Information We Collect

Account and profile: Email address, password (hashed), display name, optional wallet address (when you link a wallet), and profile avatar if you upload one.

Usage and content: Music you create or upload, titles, styles, lyrics, shared tracks, reels, marketplace listings, and chat messages in community features. We may store metadata (e.g. timestamps, file sizes) and content necessary to provide the service.

Technical and logs: IP address, browser type, device information, and server logs (e.g. requests, errors) for operation and security.

Payments: Payment-related data is processed by third-party providers (e.g. PayPal, crypto). We may receive transaction status and identifiers; we do not store full card numbers.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information to: provide and improve the Platform (AI generation, storage, sharing, marketplace, reels); authenticate you and manage your account; process payments and credits; send important service or policy updates; enforce our Terms and prevent abuse; and comply with legal obligations. We may use aggregated or anonymized data for analytics and product improvement.

4. Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with: (a) service providers that help us operate the Platform (hosting, APIs, payments), subject to confidentiality; (b) other users when you choose to share content (e.g. community feed, reels, marketplace); (c) law enforcement or authorities when required by law or to protect rights and safety; (d) affiliates within the WeAD ecosystem where relevant to the service.

5. Data Retention

We retain account and content data for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the service. You may request deletion of your account and associated data; we will comply except where we must retain data for legal or legitimate operational reasons.

6. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data (e.g. encryption, access controls). No system is completely secure; you are responsible for keeping your password and wallet credentials safe.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your data, or to object to or restrict certain processing. Contact us using the details below to exercise these rights. You may also unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time.

8. Third-Party Services

Our Platform may link to or use third-party services (e.g. wallets, social links, payment providers). Their privacy policies apply to their handling of your data; we encourage you to read them.

9. Children

Our service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe we have collected such data, please contact us so we can delete it.

10. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
