Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

The Short Version

We collect your email and region when you subscribe. We collect order details when you buy something. We use minimal, functional cookies. We never sell your data — that would be a betrayal of everything this movement stands for.

This privacy policy exists because we believe you should know exactly what happens with your information. We're a movement fighting for data ownership — our own practices have to reflect that. If anything here is unclear, email us at privacy@musicishistory.com and we'll explain it in whatever level of detail you need.

What We Collect

When you subscribe: Your email address and optionally your name, city, and region. This is stored in our subscribers database so we can notify you about events in your area and movement updates.

When you purchase from the store: Your name, email, shipping address, and order details. Payment is processed by Stripe — we never see or store your full card number. Stripe receives the minimum information needed to process your payment.

When you visit the site: We use minimal, functional cookies required for the site to operate (session management, form submissions). We do not use analytics tracking, advertising cookies, or any third-party tracking pixels.

Why We Collect It

  • To notify you about events in your region
  • To send movement updates to subscribers
  • To process and fulfill store orders
  • To count signatories of the Digital Dignity Charter

That's the complete list. We do not collect data for advertising, profiling, or resale. We do not build behavioral models. We do not track you across the web.

What We Don't Do

We don't sell your data. We don't share it with advertisers. We don't feed it to algorithms. We don't use it for purposes you didn't agree to. This is a movement about data ownership — every practice here reflects that commitment.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access — Request a copy of all data we hold about you
  • Correction — Update or correct your information
  • Deletion — Request that we delete all your data permanently
  • Portability — Receive your data in a standard, machine-readable format
  • Unsubscribe — Opt out of communications at any time via the unsubscribe link in any email

To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@musicishistory.com. We respond within 30 days.

Cookies

We use minimal, functional cookies only. These are required for the site to operate correctly (maintaining sessions, processing forms). We do not use:

  • Advertising or tracking cookies
  • Third-party analytics (no Google Analytics, no Mixpanel, no Hotjar)
  • Social media tracking pixels
  • Any cookie that persists beyond your session unless necessary for functionality

For full details, see our cookie policy.

Third Parties

We use a small number of services to operate the site. Each is chosen for minimal data exposure:

  • Supabase — Database hosting. Stores subscriber and content data. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit.
  • Stripe — Payment processing for store purchases. Stripe receives your payment details directly — we never see your full card number. Stripe's privacy policy applies to payment data.
  • Resend — Email delivery for subscriber notifications. Receives your email address to deliver messages on our behalf.
  • Cloudflare — CDN and DDoS protection. May log IP addresses temporarily for security purposes.

We do not share data with any parties beyond those listed above. We do not sell access to our subscriber list to any third party for any purpose.

Data Security

All data is encrypted in transit (TLS/HTTPS) and at rest. Access to production databases is restricted to essential personnel only. We use row-level security policies to ensure data access is limited to authorized operations.

Changes to This Policy

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top and notify subscribers by email for any material changes. We don't do silent updates. You'll always know what changed and why.

Music is history. Let's make sure it has a future.
