Music Coast Links Privacy Policy
This policy explains how Music Co LLC (“Music Coast,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information when you use links.musiccoast.com (the “Links Site”), including the paid-campaign page at /launch/. The Links Site provides official Music Coast app downloads, editorial and festival-photo links, social and sharing tools, browser notifications, newsletter access, artist requests, and founding-artist applications.
1. Scope
This policy applies to the Links Site. The main Music Coast website, mobile apps, subscriptions, creator tools, store, secure document portal, and other services may be governed by the policies posted on MusicCoast.com.
2. Information the Links Site may process
Basic server and security data
Our hosting, content-delivery, security, and email providers may process standard request information such as IP address, country or region headers, browser or device type, requested URL, timestamps, and security signals. This information helps deliver the site, prevent abuse, enforce rate limits, diagnose problems, and protect the service.
Artist requests and founding-artist applications
The launch campaign currently uses an email-app flow. When you complete a form and select its email button, the page prepares a draft addressed to [email protected] in your device’s configured email application. The website does not transmit or store the completed form. Music Coast receives the information only after you review the draft and press Send. An artist request may include an artist or band name, genre, public artist link, your relationship to the artist, an optional email address, and an optional note. A founding-artist application may include artist and contact names, email, location, genre, public profile links, distribution and rights-status answers, music and artwork readiness, proposed track count, promotional willingness, an introduction, and required acknowledgements.
The campaign forms do not accept music, artwork, government identification, banking information, tax documents, or contracts. Do not submit sensitive identity, financial, tax, or contractual documents through these public forms. Music Coast may provide a separate secure submission process if an application advances.
Campaign attribution
To understand which campaign led to a request or application, the prepared email draft may include the landing-page URL, referring URL, draft-generation time, form type, UTM source, medium, campaign, content and term, and a Meta click identifier when present. These values are prepared locally in the browser and become part of the email only when the visitor sends it.
Temporary email-app delivery
The campaign page currently does not use server-side form delivery, a CAPTCHA, or a submission database. It validates required fields in the browser, prepares a structured mailto draft, and opens the visitor’s email application. The visitor remains responsible for pressing Send. The public page also provides a Copy Email Details fallback when an email application does not open.
Optional analytics
Where consent is required, analytics are disabled until you allow them. When active, the Links Site may use Google Analytics and approved first-party measurement to record non-sensitive events such as launch-page views, App Store or Google Play clicks, and commercial-video play or completion. The temporary email-app forms do not report an ArtistRequest or ArtistApplication conversion because the website cannot verify that a visitor actually sent the draft. Music Coast does not send artist names, notes, email addresses, rights answers, or other form contents in analytics-event payloads.
Optional marketing measurement
The standard Meta website Pixel base code for Pixel 1084452017990026 is installed in the head of every HTML-rendering Music Coast Links page and records a normal PageView for paid-campaign measurement. If you affirmatively enable Marketing measurement, the launch page may also send non-sensitive custom events such as AppStoreClick, GooglePlayClick, CommercialPlay, and CommercialComplete. The temporary email-app forms do not fire ArtistRequest or ArtistApplication because opening a draft is not proof that it was sent. Meta does not receive the names, links, notes, email addresses, rights answers, or other form contents.
Theme, consent, campaign, install, and notification preferences
The Links Site uses browser storage and a first-party consent cookie to remember theme choices, accent color, privacy choices, notification topics, installation state, and the last content version checked for notifications. The campaign page may retain UTM values and a Meta click identifier in session storage for the current browsing session so they can be included in a prepared email draft. These preferences generally remain on your device until they expire or you clear them.
Newsletter information
If you join the newsletter, the name and email address you submit are sent to FeedBlitz, the mailing-list provider used by Music Coast. FeedBlitz processes that information under its own terms and privacy practices. The quick human-verification check on the normal Links page is performed locally in your browser and is used only to unlock the newsletter form.
Browser notifications
If you enable notifications, your browser records the permission and the Links Site stores your selected topics. The service worker may periodically check Music Coast’s public content feed and show a local notification when a selected content type changes. Music Coast Links does not require a separate third-party push account for this feature.
3. Cookies and local storage
Necessary storage supports consent choices, campaign attribution during the current session, page operation, and the installable Links experience. Analytics, embedded-media, and marketing technologies depend on your privacy selection as described on the Cookie & Privacy Preferences page. Additional Meta custom-event measurement requires an affirmative choice. The standard Meta base PageView is installed across Music Coast Links as described above. You can change optional settings or clear site data through your browser.
4. Third-party providers and links
The Links Site may interact with services operated by the visitor’s email provider, Apple, Google, Meta, Discord, Facebook, FeedBlitz, Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, Telegram, WhatsApp, X, YouTube, and other providers. Once you leave the Links Site or submit information directly to a third party, that provider’s policies apply. Music Coast does not control independent third-party services.
5. How information is used
Information may be used to operate and secure the Links Site, provide the links and media you request, review artist requests and applications received by email, contact applicants, measure campaign effectiveness with consent, provide notifications you enable, process newsletter subscriptions, improve usability, investigate errors, and comply with legal obligations.
6. Retention
Browser preferences remain until they expire, you change them, or you clear site data. Campaign attribution in session storage is intended to be short-lived. Emails that visitors choose to send and related business records may be retained for artist outreach, application review, security, legal, and operational purposes. Newsletter information remains with the mailing-list provider until deleted or unsubscribed, subject to applicable requirements.
7. Your choices and rights
You may reject optional analytics and additional Meta custom-event measurement, change consent choices, disable notifications, clear local storage, unsubscribe from emails, and avoid third-party links. The standard Meta base PageView remains installed across Music Coast Links. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection regarding personal information.
8. Children
The Links Site is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children below the age required to provide valid consent in their jurisdiction. Parents or guardians who believe a child submitted information may contact Music Coast.
9. Security
Music Coast uses reasonable technical and organizational measures for the Links Site. In temporary email-app mode, form values remain in the visitor’s browser until the visitor opens and sends the draft through their chosen email provider. Visitors should not include sensitive identity, tax, banking, contract, music, or artwork files in this initial email. No internet or email service can guarantee absolute security.
10. Changes to this policy
We may revise this policy as the Links Site, campaign forms, vendors, or legal requirements change. The date at the top shows the latest revision.
