Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
Welcome to Band Jams ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our audio collaboration platform ("Service").
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
Information You Provide
- Account Information: Name, email address, and password when you create an account.
- Profile Information: Profile picture, bio, and other optional details you choose to add.
- User Content: Audio files, comments, messages, and other content you upload or create.
- Communications: Information you provide when you contact us for support.
Information Collected Automatically
- Usage Data: Information about how you interact with our Service, including pages visited, features used, and actions taken.
- Device Information: Browser type, operating system, device identifiers, and IP address.
- Cookies: First-party cookies only — strictly-necessary authentication plus functional preferences (e.g. theme, current band). We do not use tracking or advertising cookies, and our analytics is cookieless.
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve our Service.
- Process and complete transactions.
- Send you technical notices, updates, and support messages.
- Respond to your comments, questions, and requests.
- Monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities.
- Detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent transactions and abuse.
- Personalize and improve your experience.
- Facilitate collaboration features between users.
We may share your information in the following circumstances:
- With Your Consent: When you share content with collaborators or make content public.
- Service Providers: With third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf (hosting, analytics, customer support).
- Legal Requirements: If required by law or in response to valid legal process.
- Protection of Rights: To protect the rights, property, and safety of Band Jams, our users, or others.
- Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:
- Encryption of data in transit and at rest.
- Regular security assessments and updates.
- Access controls and authentication requirements.
- Secure data centers and infrastructure.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. We will also retain and use your information as necessary to:
- Comply with our legal obligations.
- Resolve disputes.
- Enforce our agreements.
When you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal purposes.
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information:
- Access: Request access to your personal information.
- Correction: Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Deletion: Request deletion of your personal information.
- Portability: Request a copy of your data in a portable format.
- Opt-out: Opt out of certain data processing activities.
To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information provided below. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe.
We use only first-party cookies, and we do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies. The cookies we set are:
- Strictly-necessary cookies: authentication cookies that keep you signed in. The Service cannot work without these.
- Functional preference cookies: small cookies that remember your choices — your light/dark theme, your most recently used band, and list view settings.
For product analytics we use Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights, which are cookieless: they store nothing on your device and count visitors using a hashed, non-identifying request signal that is discarded within 24 hours. We do not use Google Analytics, advertising pixels, or any third-party tracking cookies.
You can instruct your browser to refuse cookies, but the strictly-necessary authentication cookies are required to sign in and use your account.
Our Service may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by us. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
We use the following third-party services:
- Authentication: Google and GitHub for OAuth sign-in.
- Hosting: Cloud infrastructure providers for data storage.
- Analytics: To understand usage patterns and improve our Service.
Our Service is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete such information from our systems.
Your information may be transferred to and maintained on servers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.
If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data to the United States and process it there.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes are effective when they are posted on this page.
