Privacy policy
Auravis Productions (“we”) runs this website and the song links on it. This policy explains what we collect, why, and for how long. Questions: auravis@auravisprod.org.
This website
We use no cookies, no advertising or analytics trackers, and no third-party scripts, fonts or embeds. Everything on these pages is served from our own domain.
To learn which work people look at, we count actions such as opening a page, starting a video or tapping “Start a project”. We keep only daily totals per action and page. We do not store IP addresses or anything else that identifies you.
Contact form
When you send the contact form we keep what you typed — your name, email, and anything else you chose to include — so we can reply. We store it in our own database on Cloudflare and use it only to answer you. We delete it after two years, or sooner if you ask.
To stop the form being abused, we count messages per connection per day using the same kind of one-way, daily-changing code described under song link pages below. It cannot be turned back into your IP address and is deleted after two days.
Song link pages
When you open a song page (addresses starting /r/) or tap through to Spotify or Apple Music, we count it. We keep only aggregate totals — views and taps per link — together with:
- the country the visit came from, which our hosting provider derives from your connection;
- which ad or post the link belonged to, taken from the link itself.
We do not store IP addresses. We use no cookies, no advertising or analytics trackers, and no third-party scripts on these pages.
To avoid counting the same visit twice, we briefly keep a one-way, truncated code made from your connection, browser type and a random value that changes every day. It cannot be reversed into your IP address, and because the random value changes daily, it cannot connect your visits across days. These codes, and the daily value, are deleted after two days.
Streaming services and other sites
When you tap through to Spotify, Apple Music or a social profile, you leave this site and their privacy policies apply.
Public posts and comments
To understand what listeners respond to, we use the official APIs of platforms such as YouTube and TikTok to read publicly available posts, comments and trend data about music. We use this in aggregate to guide creative decisions. We do not collect private information, contact the people who wrote the posts, or build profiles of individuals. Short quotes may be kept as internal research notes, with a link to where they appeared.
Where data is kept
Our hosting, link counts and contact messages run on Cloudflare. Aggregate link totals and research notes are kept in Airtable. We do not sell data or share it with advertisers.
Your choices
Apart from contact messages, we do not keep information that identifies you, so there is usually nothing on file to access or delete. To see or delete a message you sent us — or if you believe we hold something else about you, such as a quote from one of your public posts — email auravis@auravisprod.org and we will take care of it.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top will change with it.
