Privacy & Terms

Last updated August 26, 2026. Static Cuts// is a small, non-commercial, community-run project — this is written plainly on purpose, not as a substitute for legal advice if that ever changes.

What we collect

An account (email and password, or a Spotify login), a display name, and anything you choose to add — an avatar, an about section. Your activity on the site: ratings you give tracks, comments you post, which tracks you've marked collected, which artists you follow or pin, and any submissions (new tracks, corrections, flags) you make.

What's public vs. private

Comments and submissions are public by nature — that's how the archive gets built. Your profile has individual toggles (off by default) for showing your completion percentage, collected tracks, ratings, and followed artists to other people. Your email and password are never shown to anyone, including other admins.

Third parties involved

The site runs on Supabase (database, accounts, file storage) and is hosted on Vercel. If you log in with Spotify, Spotify handles that authentication directly — we only receive what's needed to identify your account. Search-assist tooling used behind the scenes (for finding official links) doesn't touch your personal data at all.

Your data, your choice

You can change or delete anything in your profile at any time. If you want your account removed entirely, reach out and it'll be handled directly — this is a small enough project that there's no automated self-serve deletion flow yet, just a real person on the other end.

What this is

A community-maintained discography archive — tracking metadata (titles, dates, producers, links to where a track can legitimately be found) for official and unreleased material alike, without popularity bias. This site does not host, store, or distribute audio files. Every link points to a real external platform (Spotify, and similar) — we track information about music, not the music itself.

Contributing

Submissions go through review before anything you contribute becomes visible in the archive. Be accurate, be respectful in comments, and don't submit anything you know to be false. Repeated bad-faith submissions or abusive behavior toward other users can result in your account being restricted or removed.

No guarantees

This is a hobby project, maintained by volunteers, provided as-is. Things may occasionally break, change, or move — there's no formal uptime or support commitment behind it.

Changes

These terms may be updated as the site grows. Meaningful changes will be reflected in the "last updated" date at the top of this page.
