Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

AIMixtapes (“we,” “us,” or “our”) values your privacy. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard personal information when you use AIMixtapes (https://www.aimixtapes.com) and the related applications, APIs, and services (collectively, the “Service”). If you do not agree with the practices described below, do not access or use the Service.

We may revise this Policy from time to time. When we do, we update the “Last updated” date above and, where changes are material, provide additional notice such as an in-app banner or email alert.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

• Account and contact details you provide when registering, such as creator name, email address, and password, along with authentication identifiers and tokens used to keep your account signed in.
• Profile and preference data including your display name and cookie preferences. Saved tracks are stored in your browser on the device where you save them.
• Submitted music and credits including uploaded audio, track titles, artist names, genre, mood, AI tools used, your description of the creation process, explicit-content information, and your AI disclosure and rights confirmations.
• Transaction data if you have made credit, membership, or gift purchases processed by Stripe (card type, last four digits, billing ZIP/postal code, Stripe customer ID) plus credit balances and redemption history maintained in our systems.
• Usage and device information automatically logged when you use the Service, including IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages visited, in-app events, error diagnostics, and similar telemetry.
• Review and catalog information generated when your track is submitted or reviewed, including submission status, review notes, review dates, and the public catalog entry for an approved track.
• Information from service providers used for account authentication, security checks, storage, and delivery of the Service.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Operate, maintain, and improve music submissions, editorial review, public streaming, and discovery features.
• Authenticate you, secure your account, and remember your preferences across sessions.
• Process applicable purchases, subscriptions, and redemptions, and maintain accurate records of existing transactions.
• Send account communications such as verification and password-reset messages, applicable receipts, or compliance notices.
• Show creators their submission status and review notes, and publish approved audio and credits for public listening.
• Provide customer support, investigate reports, and address technical issues or abuse.
• Develop new features, run product experiments, and analyse aggregated usage trends (only when analytics consent is granted).
• Protect the Service, our users, and our partners by detecting fraud, abuse, or violations of our Terms of Service.

4. How We Share Information

We share personal information only as necessary to deliver the Service or comply with law:

• Service providers and infrastructure partners including Google Cloud/Firebase (hosting, authentication, database, storage, App Check), Stripe (applicable payment records), PostHog (analytics when consented), email-delivery providers, and other vetted subprocessors.
• Editorial reviewers can access submitted audio and its credits privately to decide whether to publish a track and record review notes.
• Public listeners can stream approved tracks and see their track title, artist name, genre, mood, AI tool credits, creation-process description, and explicit-content information. Your account email and editorial review notes are not included in the public catalog.
• Legal obligations when we believe disclosure is required by law, regulation, legal process, or government request, or to protect the safety, rights, or property of AIMixtapes, our users, or others.
• Business transfers if we engage in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets. We will provide notice before personal information becomes subject to a materially different policy.

We do not sell personal information or share it for targeted advertising without your consent.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to make the Service work and to measure performance. Essential cookies and storage (for example, authentication tokens and security protections) are required. We also use browser storage for saved tracks. Optional categories include analytics and marketing. Cookie preferences can be managed through the cookie banner or the control below.

When you opt in to analytics, we may collect additional event data using PostHog or comparable tools to understand product usage patterns. Marketing cookies are currently disabled by default; if introduced, they will require explicit consent.

6. Your Privacy Choices

• Adjust analytics and marketing preferences via the cookie banner or the control in Section 5.
• Save or unsave tracks in the player and catalog on your device.
• Contact us using the details in Section 9 to request access, correction, or deletion of your account information or submitted content.
• Transactional emails are required; marketing emails (if any) include an unsubscribe link.

7. Data Security

We protect personal information using administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, including HTTPS for data in transit, encryption offered by our cloud providers for data at rest, access controls, Firebase App Check for abuse prevention, and ongoing monitoring for suspicious activity. No system is 100% secure, so we encourage you to use strong passwords, enable device-level security, and promptly report suspected issues.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

• Account data is kept while your account remains active and for a reasonable period thereafter to satisfy legal or audit requirements.
• Transaction and billing records are retained as required by tax and accounting laws.
• Submitted audio, credits, and review records are retained as needed for review, approved streaming, and the purposes described above. You may request removal using the contact details in Section 9.
• Aggregated or anonymised data (for example, usage statistics) may be retained indefinitely without direct identifiers. Diagnostic logs are typically kept up to 18 months unless security or compliance needs dictate otherwise.

You may request deletion of your personal data at any time; see Section 9 for details.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export personal information; object to or restrict certain processing; withdraw consent; or appeal a refusal of your request. Submit requests to support@aimixtapes.com. We will verify your identity and respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. You may designate an authorised agent where permitted.

10. International Data Transfers

We operate primarily in the United States and may process data in other countries where our service providers are located. When we transfer personal information internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or analogous mechanisms permitted by applicable law.

11. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the higher age threshold required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected such data, we will delete it. Parents or guardians who believe a child has provided information may contact us at support@aimixtapes.com.

12. Changes to This Policy

We will post any updates to this Policy on this page and, when changes are material, provide a prominent notice (for example, email or in-app alert). Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
