privacy policy
soundspace is a small platform run by one person. this is what we collect, why, and what we won't do.
what we collect
when you sign up:
- your email address (for login + occasional service messages)
- your chosen handle
- your birthday (only your age is shown — and only if you choose)
- your password, stored hashed — we never see it in plain text
when you use the site, we also store:
- your profile fields — bio, favorite artist, genres, avatar, profile song
- your reviews, ratings, replies, and reactions
- your friendships and friend requests
- basic technical info (browser type, ip address) via standard server logs, used for security and debugging
what we don't do
- we don't sell your data. ever.
- we don't share it with advertisers or data brokers.
- we don't use your reviews to train external ai models.
- we don't track you across other sites.
- we don't use third-party tracking cookies.
third parties we use
to run the site we rely on a few services. each one only gets the minimum data they need to do their job:
- supabase — stores your account, profile, and reviews. (database + auth)
- vercel — hosts the website and serves pages to you.
- apple music — we query their public catalog when you search for music. we don't send your account info to apple.
- resend (when enabled) — sends transactional emails like welcome and password-reset messages.
each of these has their own privacy practices. we've picked providers that take privacy seriously, but we encourage you to read their policies if you're curious.
who can see your stuff
your profile, reviews, replies, and reactions are public by default — that's the point of the platform. your email and birthday are private and never shown to other users.
your friend requests are visible only to you and the person you sent them to.
cookies
we use a small number of strictly necessary cookies to keep you logged in. we don't use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking.
your rights
you can:
- edit your profile information anytime from /profile/edit
- delete individual reviews from your own profile
- delete your entire account by emailing us — see below
- request a copy of all data we hold about you by emailing us — we aim to respond within 30 days
account deletion
email info@soundspace.fm from the address tied to your account. we'll delete your account, reviews, replies, friendships, and personal info within 30 days. public reviews may persist briefly in cached pages or backups but will be removed from active storage.
children
soundspace is not for children under 13. if you believe a child under 13 has an account, please email us so we can remove it.
where we operate
soundspace operates from the united states. if you're using the site from elsewhere, your data is transferred to and stored in the u.s. (where our hosting providers operate).
changes
if we make significant changes to this policy, we'll update the “last updated” date and, for material changes, notify you in the app or by email before the change takes effect.
