Document History

Welcome to SourceAudio!

SourceAudio.com provides a music search, licensing, and distribution platform (the “Platform”) which hosts branded websites (“Branded Sites”) for client companies (“Clients”) who make them available to end users (the “User” or “you”). The Platform is owned and operated by SourceAudio Holdings LLC (“SourceAudio”, the “Company”, “we”, or “us”). Under applicable law, SourceAudio is the “data controller” of personal data collected through the Platform. We have created this privacy policy in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for the Platform.

Information We Collect

When you use the Platform, we may automatically gather the following information:

  • IP address

The following information is gathered when you enter it:

  • Email address
  • Name
  • Additional personal information may be requested by Branded Sites but you will only enter it voluntarily

If you do not wish to provide this information, you will not be able to create an account, log in, or use many Platform features. Some Branded Sites allow access without logging in and you may access those, according to the settings enabled by the Client who created that Branded Site.

Where Information Is Processed

The Company is based in the United States. No matter where you are located, you consent to the processing and transferring of your information in and to the U.S. and other countries. The laws of the U.S. and other countries governing data collection and use may not be as comprehensive or protective as the laws of the country where you live.

How We Use Your Personal Information

By using the Platform and providing us with your Personal Information, you are granting SourceAudio your consent to use your Personal Information in the following ways, which are necessary for the operation of the Platform.

  • Handling customer service requests, such as reaching out if we identify a problem you’re having with the Platform.

    If you encounter a problem using the Platform and you reach out to us for assistance, we may use your contact information you previously entered to find more information about the issue and help address it.

    If the Platform generates an error while you’re using it, we may log your name, email, or IP address to help us diagnose and fix the problem. In some rare cases, we may reach out to you once the error has been resolved. No one outside of SourceAudio employees has access to these logs.

    We may also reach out preemptively to notify you of important events, such as site downtime, security issues, and new features or services we add.

    We will never sell or share your contact information with third parties for marketing or any other purposes not explicitly outlined in this Policy.

  • Providing your personal information to Clients whose Branded Sites you have signed up for.

    SourceAudio.com is a technology platform that other companies (“Clients”) use so when you’re on a Branded Site, you’re typically on a site we are hosting for a third party. When you access that Branded Site and provide it your personal information, the Client who set up the Branded Site has access to that information through the Branded Site’s UI, our API, and downloads of user information.

    Your information will not be provided to Clients whose Branded Sites you did not proactively join.

    Our Clients are not bound by this Policy. If you have questions about how Clients use your information, please reach out to them directly or by clicking the Help link in the upper right after logging in.

  • Retaining contact info when you license tracks or use a paid service.

    Paying for a Branded Site or purchasing a license, a subscription, ISRCs, or SourceAudio File Delivery transfer enters you into a contract with us and/or our Clients. When you do that, some portion of your personal information is retained in perpetuity pursuant to the terms of that contract.

  • Providing information directly to Integrated Service Providers

    As you use the Platform, we may provide some of your personal information directly to the following companies, whose services we use to provide features for the Platform.

    Braintree Payments

    The Platform uses Braintree Payments to store and process credit cards. When you enter a credit card, you are actually providing your information directly to Braintree who will store and use it for processing payments you authorize. The Platform and its Clients do not see or store your credit card information.

    Please visit https://www.braintreepayments.com to learn more about how Braintree handles your personal information.

    SendGrid

    The Platform uses SendGrid to send emails, such as playlist sharing notifications, invoices, etc. When those emails go to you, we provide SendGrid with your email address so they know were to send them and your name as part of the email subject or body, if relevant.

    Google Analytics

We do not use this information to follow individuals but instead look for broader trends.

    Clients may have their own Google Analytics tracking enabled on their Branded Site but any data collected is similarly anonymized.
