Privacy Policy
Your music is meant to be heard. Your personal information isn't.
This Privacy Policy describes how Sell Your Sound collects, uses, stores, and shares information when artists, curators, and visitors use the website and related services. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our users while providing a professional marketplace for music submission and discovery.
1. Information We Collect
Sell Your Sound may collect information that you voluntarily provide to us. This includes names, email addresses, account login details, profile information, and any other data necessary to operate our music submission and curation services effectively.
2. Information We Collect
- Names and email addresses for identity and communication

When artists submit music, Sell Your Sound collects vital creative data including band names, track titles, and audio files. We also process artwork, genre classifications, and streaming links. Crucially, we collect explicit content disclosures and information regarding the use of AI or AI-assisted elements in the production process.

Usage Purposes
Collected information is used to process submissions, connect artists with selected curators, detect fraud, and improve the overall music-focused marketplace experience for all members.
9. How Information Is Shared
Sell Your Sound does not sell users' personal information simply for profit. Information is shared only when necessary to operate the service. For example, when an artist submits music, the selected curator receives the song, artwork, and disclosures needed for evaluation. We also share data with trusted service providers like Wix, payment processors, and analytics partners to ensure a seamless experience. We may disclose information if legally required or to protect our community from fraud and abuse.
11. Data Security
We employ reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your music or personal profile data.
12. Data Retention
Information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary to operate Sell Your Sound, maintain transaction records, resolve disputes, and comply with legal or accounting requirements. When information is no longer needed for these legitimate business purposes, we take steps to delete or anonymize it where appropriate to protect your privacy.
