This Privacy Policy explains how OSBeats LLC collects, uses, processes, shares, and retains information when you use OSBeats services, including the Marketplace, creator and artist features, OSBeats Vocal Studio, mastering tools, OSAI, collaboration features, the OSBeats Plugin Bridge, and related services.
2. Information We May Collect
Account and Profile Information
We may collect information such as your name, display name, email address, account identifiers, authentication information, account type, profile information, artist or creator information, social links, preferences, and account settings.
Music, Uploads, and Creative Content
When you choose to use relevant features, OSBeats may process music, beats, songs, vocals, recordings, stems, project files, mixes, masters, artwork, images, metadata, lyrics, descriptions, and other content you upload, create, transmit, save, or share.
Vocal Studio and Session Information
Depending on the features you use, OSBeats may process Vocal Studio project and session information, track information, collaborators, session invitations, chat or collaboration information, exported files, recording metadata, processing settings, presets, and other information needed to provide studio functions.
Device, Audio, MIDI, and Plugin Information
OSBeats may process technical information about your browser, operating system, device, audio configuration, microphone or audio device availability, MIDI device availability and messages used by the service, Plugin Bridge connection status, plugin metadata, application versions, IP address, diagnostic events, and technical logs.
Some device, MIDI, audio, plugin, or bridge information may be processed locally on your device and may not be transmitted to OSBeats unless transmission is necessary for a feature you use, diagnostics, security, synchronization, collaboration, or support.
Messages and Collaboration Information
We may process messages, collaboration invitations, session activity, shared files, reports, and other communications submitted through OSBeats features.
Transaction and Subscription Information
We may collect records of purchases, memberships, subscriptions, licenses, promotions, payouts, refunds, payment status, transaction identifiers, and related marketplace or billing activity.
Usage, Security, and Support Information
We may collect feature usage, listening activity, saved music, analytics, error information, browser and network information, security events, moderation history, reports, support requests, and logs needed to operate, protect, troubleshoot, and improve OSBeats.
3. Microphone, MIDI, Local Device, and Browser Permissions
Certain Vocal Studio features require browser or operating-system permission to access a microphone, audio device, MIDI controller, local-device connection, or similar hardware capability.
Your browser or operating system may present its own permission prompt. OSBeats uses these permissions only to provide features you choose to use and subject to the controls made available by your browser, operating system, or device.
You may revoke device permissions through your browser or operating system, although doing so may prevent the affected feature from working.

5. Payment Information
Payment processing may be handled by third-party processors such as Stripe, PayPal, or other supported providers. When a payment processor handles card or financial credentials directly, OSBeats does not need to receive or store complete payment-card credentials.
OSBeats may retain transaction identifiers, payment status, purchase records, subscription information, payout information, and other records necessary for billing, fraud prevention, accounting, customer support, and dispute resolution.

Do not place confidential or sensitive personal information in fields or content intended for public display.
8. Cookies and Local Storage
OSBeats may use cookies, browser storage, session storage, local storage, or similar technologies for authentication, preferences, security, saved settings, interface state, and service functionality. Additional information is available in the OSBeats Cookie Policy.
9. Retention
Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain accounts, preserve transaction and license records, support projects or content, prevent fraud, maintain security and moderation history, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with legal obligations.
Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information and the reason it is maintained.
10. Security
OSBeats uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information and systems.
No online service, transmission method, storage system, browser, device, or software application can guarantee absolute security. Users are also responsible for protecting their account credentials and devices.
11. Your Choices and Privacy Requests
You may update certain account, profile, privacy, and device settings through OSBeats, your browser, or your operating system.
Where applicable law provides rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or obtain information about personal data, requests may be submitted through the OSBeats support process. OSBeats may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
Some information may need to be retained despite a deletion request when required for legal obligations, transaction records, fraud prevention, security, disputes, enforcement, or other legally permitted purposes.
12. Children
OSBeats is not directed to children under 13, and users under 13 may not create or use an OSBeats account.
If OSBeats learns that personal information has been collected from a child under 13 in circumstances where parental consent is legally required and was not obtained, OSBeats will take reasonable steps to address the information in accordance with applicable law.
13. Third-Party Services
OSBeats may link to or integrate with third-party services, plugins, payment processors, identity providers, browsers, device manufacturers, or other products. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this Privacy Policy.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
OSBeats may update this Privacy Policy as products, technologies, legal requirements, or information practices change.
Material changes may be communicated through the website, account notices, email where appropriate, or an in-product notice. Where applicable law requires consent for a materially different use of information, OSBeats will seek the required consent before that use.
