Privacy
Short version: we keep your email so you can sign in, and we only write to you if you ask us to.
What we keep
If you become a member we keep your email address, the date you joined and a yes or no for whether you want an email when new music is out. We also keep the simple visit counts described below.
Why
Your email is how you sign in. We send you a one-time link instead of asking for a password.
If you tick "Email me when new music is out" we will write when there is a new release. A few times a year at most. You can untick it on the members page whenever you like.
We never sell or share your email. We do not use it for anything else.
Who handles it
Member accounts are stored with Supabase, our sign-in and database provider. Sign-in emails are sent through our email provider. The site itself is served as plain pages with no ad trackers.
Simple visit counts
We count visits with our own small tool, not Google Analytics and not ad trackers. For each visit we note the page, what you played or clicked (a song, the Spotify player, a social link), the type of device and the site that linked you here. A random number stored in your browser lets us count a repeat visit once. It is not your name and it is not a cookie.
If you are signed in as a member, that activity is linked to your membership so we can see what members listen to. Only the site owner can see it.
If your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, we record nothing at all.
Spotify players
Release and track pages can show a Spotify player. It only loads when you tap play. Once it loads, Spotify's own privacy policy applies to it.
Cookies and storage
We do not use cookies. Your browser keeps two small things: the random visit number above and, if you sign in, a sign-in token so you stay signed in. Signing out removes the token. Clearing your browser data removes both.
Deleting your account
Email hello@statictrails.com from the address you signed up with and ask us to delete your account. We remove your email and everything linked to it, usually within a few days, and reply to confirm.
