Privacy Policy

Effective 17 July 2026

This policy explains what information BlaqueSoul Studio ("we", "us") collects when you use blaquesoul.studio, why we collect it, and the choices you have. The short version: we collect what we need to run the studio, your music is private unless you choose to publish it, and we don't sell your data.

1. Information we collect

  • Account information: your email address and password (stored as a secure hash — we never see or store your plain password).
  • Profile information you choose to add: display name, studio name, bio, location, website, and avatar image.
  • Content you create: song prompts, lyrics, generated audio, cover art, uploaded reference audio, stems, personas, genres, sessions, collections, and marketplace listings.
  • Billing information: subscriptions and purchases are processed by Stripe. We store your plan, subscription status, and credit balance — your card details never touch our servers.
  • Usage information: standard technical logs (such as IP address and browser type) and privacy-friendly page analytics used to keep the service reliable and improve it.

2. How we use your information

  • To operate the studio: generating music from your prompts, storing your library, managing credits and subscriptions, and delivering features like stem separation and the marketplace.
  • To process music generation, your prompts and settings are sent to our AI music partners. Reference audio you upload for covers is shared with those partners solely to fulfil your request.
  • To secure the service: authentication, fraud prevention, and abuse detection.
  • To communicate with you about your account — password resets, billing, and important service changes.
  • We do not sell your personal information.

3. What is public

  • Private by default: your songs, uploads, and library are visible only to you.
  • If you post a track to the Vibe Feed (making it public), its title, cover art, audio, lyrics, genre, and your display name become publicly visible — including on a public listening page and potentially the BlaqueSoul homepage — and may be indexed by search engines.
  • Your public artist profile (display name, avatar, bio, follower counts, and public tracks) is visible to anyone with the link.
  • Beats you list on the marketplace are publicly browsable. You can unpublish content at any time and it will leave public surfaces as they refresh.

4. Storage and third parties

  • Your content and account data are stored on our own infrastructure. Audio and images are stored in our media storage and served via our CDN.
  • We rely on a small set of processors to run the service: Stripe (payments), our AI music generation partners (creating your songs), Cloudflare (networking and content delivery), and our analytics provider (aggregate usage).
  • These providers receive only what they need to perform their function.

5. Cookies

  • We use a single essential authentication cookie (httpOnly) to keep you signed in. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

6. Your rights and choices

  • You can edit your profile, unpublish public tracks, and delete individual songs at any time from the studio.
  • You can request a copy of your data or full deletion of your account and content by contacting us. We will action verified requests within 30 days.
  • You can cancel your subscription at any time through the billing portal; access continues until the end of the paid period.

7. Data retention & security

  • We keep your account data while your account is active. Deleted content is removed from the live service immediately and from backups on their rotation schedule.
  • We use industry-standard measures — encrypted transport (HTTPS), hashed passwords, tokenized sessions, and least-privilege access — to protect your data.

8. Children

  • BlaqueSoul Studio is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country), and we do not knowingly collect their data.

9. Changes & contact

  • If we make material changes to this policy we will update this page and, where appropriate, notify you by email.
  • Questions or requests: [email protected]
