1. What We Collect
Information you provide
- ATProto DID and handle (via OAuth authentication)
- Profile information: display name, bio, avatar, genres, roles, PRO affiliation
- Track and stem metadata: titles, descriptions, genres, tags, BPM, key
- License selections for your content
- AI declaration information
Information collected automatically
- IP addresses (server logs)
- Download records (who downloaded what, when)
- Playback data (play counts)
- Activity data (likes, reposts, follows, shares)
- Audio fingerprints (Chromaprint, for future duplicate detection)
- Browser and device information (standard HTTP headers)
Information we do NOT collect
- Passwords — authentication is handled by your ATProto identity provider
- Payment information — no commerce features in the current phase
- Precise location data beyond IP-derived approximate location
2. How We Use Your Data
We use your data to:
- Operate the platform: host content, serve streams, generate waveforms
- Display your profile and content to other users
- Build remix attribution chains and provenance records
- Generate activity feeds
- Audio fingerprinting for future content matching and duplicate detection
- Platform analytics and improvement
- Respond to legal requests and enforce our terms
3. How Your Data Is Stored
Our infrastructure
- PostgreSQL on Railway (US) — metadata, user profiles, activity records
- Cloudflare R2 (global) — audio files, cover art, waveform data
- ATProto PDS — your records (tracks, stems, licenses, attributions) live on YOUR Personal Data Server, not ours. We index copies for search and display.
ATProto data ownership
Your ATProto records are portable — they belong to you, stored on your PDS. If you leave FreeMix, your ATProto identity and records go with you.
FreeMix maintains an index of your records for platform functionality. Deleting content from FreeMix removes it from our index and storage, but your PDS record management is handled by your ATProto provider.
6. Data Retention
- Account data: Retained while your account is active
- Content (tracks, stems): Retained until you delete them
- Download records: Retained indefinitely (part of the provenance chain)
- Activity data: Retained indefinitely
- Server logs (IP addresses): Retained for 90 days
- Audio fingerprints: Retained indefinitely (for content matching)
7. Your Rights
- Access: You can view your data through your profile and activity feed
- Correction: You can edit your profile and track metadata at any time
- Deletion: You can delete your tracks and stems. Note: content already downloaded by others under valid licenses remains licensed. Download records are retained as part of the provenance chain.
- Data export: Your ATProto records are inherently portable via the AT Protocol
- Account deletion: Contact contact@freemix.fm
8. Children's Privacy
FreeMix is not intended for users under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If we learn that we have collected data from someone under 18, we will delete it promptly.
9. Changes to Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via the platform. Check this page for the latest version.
