Privacy

This is a test version. The tracks are test recordings and the plays are free test plays. Nothing here is a purchase.

What we collect

Your email address, only to send you a sign-in link. We keep a one-way hash of it, not the address itself. We keep the country your connection appears to come from, to apply regional rules, and a record of each play: which track, when, and which country it was played from. We set one cookie that keeps you signed in for 7 days.

What we do not collect

Your name, or payment details (there are no payments). Your IP address is not stored in readable form: it is hashed for rate limiting, and the play records do not hold it.

Who handles it

Cloudflare hosts the service, stores its operational logs (invocation logging is off, and earlier records expire within 7 days), and sends the sign-in email from mail.alphastate.com. Our media provider receives your random listener ID, the track you play, your country, and the start and end of each play. It never receives your email.

How long we keep it

Sign-in links and rate-limit records are deleted automatically after they expire. Play records have no end date today.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account with the Delete account button on the Niche page. We clear your play balance, replace the hash of your email so it no longer links to you, delete your sign-in records and ask our media provider to erase your ID. We keep play records under an anonymous ID.

Plays

If a track fails to start, your play may already have been used. Contact us and we will restore it.
