This privacy policy explains how øLu AnuAkin ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you use our website at oluanuakin.me.
Email Addresses: When you sign up for our mailing list or submit the contact form, we collect your email address (and name, if provided in the contact form).
Audio Player Data: When you use the audio player, we record information about how you interact with it. Specifically:
• Listening activity — tracks played, how long you listen, whether you complete a track, and whether you seek within it.
• Approximate location — country, region, and city, derived from your IP at the moment of the request. Your raw IP is never stored; a non-reversible daily hash is used solely to count unique listeners and resets every 24 hours.
• Device type — mobile or desktop, derived from your browser's user agent.
• Session identifier — a randomly generated ID created when you open the site and cleared when you close the tab. It is not linked to your identity in any way.
• Platform link clicks — if you click a link to Spotify, Bandcamp, Apple Music, or another platform, the destination is recorded alongside the track you were listening to.
• Referring source — the domain you came from (e.g. instagram.com), if any. No path or query string is stored.
• Time of play — the UTC hour at which listening occurred.
Muses Player (private listening): The Muses (Unmastered) preview player at oluanuakin.me/muses sends listening data to Starboard, the music distribution and audience-metrics platform that hosts the audio. Specifically:
• Listening duration — seconds of active playback per track, sent in 15-second intervals while audio is playing.
• Approximate location — country, region, and city, derived from your IP at the moment of the request. Your IP is forwarded to Starboard for geographic aggregation; we do not retain it on our servers.
• Browser user-agent — the device and browser identifier your browser sends with every web request.
• Persistent device identifier — a randomly generated UUID created on your first visit and stored in your browser's localStorage under the key sbDeviceId. It contains no personal information and is used only to count unique listeners. You can clear it at any time by clearing site data for oluanuakin.me in your browser settings.
We do not collect your name, email address, or any contact information unless you submit the mailing list signup or contact form. The main site audio player uses no cookies and only a session-scoped identifier that clears when you close the tab. The Muses preview player uses a persistent localStorage identifier (disclosed above) that you can clear from your browser at any time. We do not collect browser fingerprint data, and we do not collect any data from other tabs or sites.
Mailing List: Email addresses collected through the mailing list signup are used solely to send you updates about new music releases, projects, and related announcements. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email.
Contact Form: Information submitted via the contact form is used only to respond to your inquiry.
Audio Player Data: Listening data helps us understand which music resonates with listeners, where the audience is located, and which platforms they prefer. It informs release decisions and promotional strategy. It is never sold, shared with advertisers, or used for any purpose other than understanding how people engage with the music.
We use Web3Forms to process form submissions (mailing list and contact form). Web3Forms forwards submissions to our email inbox. Their privacy policy is available at web3forms.com/privacy.
We use Starboard to host audio for the Muses preview player and to aggregate listening metrics for that release. The data described in the "Muses Player" section above is forwarded to Starboard via our own backend proxy. Once received by Starboard, the data is governed by Starboard's data retention and privacy practices.
We do not share your information with any other third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.
Email addresses submitted through forms are stored in our email inbox and may be added to our mailing list platform (if we migrate to one in the future). We retain your information until you request deletion or unsubscribe from the mailing list.
Anonymous listening data collected through the main site audio player is stored in our analytics database and retained for up to 12 months, after which it is deleted.
Listening data from the Muses preview player is sent to Starboard and retained according to Starboard's policies. Our own servers do not store this data.
You have the right to:
• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate information
• Deletion: Request deletion of your data
• Unsubscribe: Opt out of the mailing list at any time
To exercise these rights, contact us at contact@oluanuakin.me.
Because audio player data is anonymous and not linked to any identity, fulfilling deletion requests for listening data requires you to provide your session ID. While on the site, you can find it in your browser's sessionStorage under the key olu_sid.
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
This website is not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top will reflect any changes. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
