Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Unit72 LLC, doing business as "TunePulse" ("we," "our," "us," or "Company"), operates TunePulse, an audio sharing and feedback platform located at tunepulse.com (the "Service"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience on our platform. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we protect it, and your rights regarding your personal information. This policy applies to all users of the Service, including artists, listeners, and all other visitors.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Account Information

When you create an account with TunePulse, we collect personal information including your email address, display name, and account password. Your password is securely stored using industry-standard hashing techniques. You may optionally provide additional profile information such as a profile photograph and biographical information (bio). This information helps us create and manage your account and enables other users to discover and connect with you.

2.2 Audio Content and Associated Data

When you upload audio files to TunePulse, we collect and store the audio files themselves along with associated metadata including the title, description, genre classification, tags, and any other information you provide to describe your content. We also collect feedback, comments, and other interactions that other users share regarding your uploads.

2.3 Usage and Analytics Data

We automatically collect information about how you interact with the Service. This includes play counts, download counts, listening duration, feedback interactions, the pages and features you access, and other engagement metrics. This data helps us understand how the Service is being used and enables us to provide analytics to artists about their audience engagement.

2.4 Technical and Device Information

When you access TunePulse, we automatically collect technical information about your device and connection. This includes your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, device type and model, operating system, referring URLs, and the times and dates of your access. This information is used for security, troubleshooting, and service optimization.

2.5 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on TunePulse. Essential cookies are necessary for proper functioning of the Service, including session management and security features. Analytics cookies help us understand how users interact with the Service. Where required by applicable law, we obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies, and you can manage your cookie preferences at any time.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Provide, operate, and maintain the Service
• Process your account registration and authentication
• Track and display play counts, downloads, and engagement analytics for your content
• Send service-related communications including account updates, security alerts, feature announcements, and policy changes
• Improve, enhance, and develop new features and functionality
• Detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, security incidents, and unauthorized use
• Comply with applicable legal obligations, court orders, and regulatory requirements
• Respond to your inquiries and customer support requests

Important Note: We do not use your audio content to train artificial intelligence models, machine learning algorithms, or generative AI systems. Your audio remains your intellectual property, and we do not use it for any purposes beyond operating the Service.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

For users in jurisdictions that require a legal basis for processing personal information (such as the European Union under GDPR), we rely on the following legal bases:

• Contract Performance: Processing necessary to provide the Service and fulfill your account requirements
• Legitimate Interests: Processing in our legitimate interests to operate, improve, and secure the Service
• User Consent: Processing based on your explicit consent, which you may withdraw at any time
• Legal Obligation: Processing required to comply with applicable laws and regulations

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your information in the following circumstances:

5.1 Service Providers

We work with service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as cloud hosting providers, analytics platforms, email delivery services, and payment processors. These providers are contractually obligated to use your information only as necessary to provide services to us and to maintain the confidentiality and security of your information.

5.2 Legal Compliance and Protection

We may disclose your information when required by law, including in response to court orders, subpoenas, law enforcement requests, or other legal processes. We may also disclose information to protect the rights, privacy, safety, and property of TunePulse, our users, the public, or third parties when we have a good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary.

5.3 Business Transfers

If Unit72 LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, asset sale, bankruptcy, or other business transaction, your personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide notice before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

5.4 Public Profile Information

Your display name, profile information, uploaded audio content, play counts, and other information you designate as public are visible to other TunePulse users and the general public as configured by your privacy settings. This information may be indexed by search engines and shared across the internet unless you configure it as private.

6. Data Storage and Security

Your information is stored on secure cloud infrastructure located in the United States. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encryption of data in transit using TLS (Transport Layer Security) and encryption at rest on our servers. We maintain access controls, conduct regular security assessments, and follow security best practices to prevent unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no security system is completely foolproof. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information, and transmission of data over the internet carries inherent risks. We encourage you to use strong, unique passwords and to keep your account credentials confidential.
