Privacy
How STATIC handles artist submissions and email choices.
Information we collect
When you submit a track, we collect the artist name, contact email, Spotify track link and three inspiration artist names, suggested playlist, any note you provide, and the time of submission. We also store a keyed hash of the submitting network address to limit abuse. Dashboard decisions and private editorial notes are stored with the submission. Editorial acceptance may trigger a response email that includes an optional message from the editor.
How we use it
We use this information to confirm your submission, review the track, contact you about your submission, prevent duplicate or abusive submissions, and keep an editorial record. Selecting the separate, optional email checkbox allows occasional STATIC news, playlist updates, and submission opportunities. Submitting a track does not itself add you to promotional email.
Sharing and public playlists
We do not sell artist contact information. Our hosting and email providers process information needed to operate the site. Editors can view submissions in a restricted dashboard. If a track is placed on a public Spotify playlist, listeners can see the track and its existing Spotify information. Spotify links and embedded players are provided by Spotify, whose own privacy practices apply when you use them.
Analytics
STATIC uses Google Analytics to measure page visits and interactions, including outgoing music links. Google may use cookies and similar identifiers. For details and opt-out options, see the 2 Tons Metric Privacy Policy. We do not send artist submission form contents to Google Analytics.
Retention and your choices
Submission and editorial records are kept until manually deleted; there is currently no automatic deletion schedule. You can ask us to review, correct, or delete your submission information by emailing static@2tonsmetric.com. We may retain limited records where needed for security or legal obligations. If you opt in to promotional email, you can unsubscribe using the link in those emails. Messages specifically about a track you submitted may continue.
