Privacy Policy

1. The Opening Act: What We Collect

When you join the Stage Left lineup, we collect a few things. Don't worry — we're not backstage rummaging through your stuff.

• Your setlist of basics: Email, username, display name, and a password (encrypted, because we're not animals)
• Your greatest hits: Show logs, ratings, reviews, vibes, and photos you choose to share
• Profile flair: Bio, avatar, social links, and whether you're an artist yourself (all optional, no pressure)
• The encore data: General usage analytics so we can make the app better. We track which pages you visit, not which pages you wish you hadn't.

2. The Main Event: How We Use It

We use your data to make Stage Left work. That's it. We're not selling your show history to Big Ticketmaster.

• Keep the show running (the app, not a literal show)
• Show your profile and show diary to other users (that's kind of the whole point)
• Generate your stats, charts, maps, and skill trees (the fun stuff)
• Power the social features — following, feeds, discovery
• Send you important emails like password resets (not “we miss you!” spam)

3. The VIP Section vs. General Admission

Some things are public, some things are private. Like a good venue, we have sections.

• GA (Public): Username, display name, avatar, bio, show logs (unless you go private), ratings, reviews, and vibes
• VIP (Private): Email, tags, personal notes, who you went with, ticket prices, and anything you mark as private. This stays backstage.

4. The Sound System: Security

Your data lives in Supabase (hosted on AWS) with proper encryption. Passwords are hashed — we couldn't read them even if we wanted to. Photos get compressed before storage because nobody needs a 47MB show photo. All connections use HTTPS because we're not performing in a garage (well, not anymore).

5. The Supporting Acts: Third-Party Services

We bring a few friends on tour with us:

• Supabase: Our database, auth, and storage. They're the roadies holding everything together.
• Vercel: Hosting. They keep the lights on.
• MusicBrainz: Artist data. Public API, we don't share your info with them.

None of these services get your personal data for their own use. They're session musicians, not co-writers.

6. Your Rider: Your Rights

Like any good performer, you get a rider. Here are your demands:

• Access: See all your data anytime through your profile
• Edit: Change anything, anytime. Your data, your remix.
• Delete: Walk off stage. Delete your account and everything goes with it.
• Export: Take your show data with you. No hard feelings.
• Opt out: Unsubscribe from anything non-essential. We won't be the band that doesn't leave the stage.

7. Cookies (The Boring Kind)

We use exactly one type of cookie: the “keep you logged in” kind. No tracking cookies. No advertising cookies. No cookies that follow you around the internet like a persistent fan at a meet-and-greet.

8. Age Check (No Wristband Required)

Stage Left is for users 13 and older. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 13. If your kid somehow signed up and rated a Wiggles show 5 stars, let us know and we'll handle it.

9. Setlist Changes

We might update this policy sometimes. Like a setlist, it can change night to night. If anything major changes, we'll update the date at the top. We won't pull a “surprise new album drop” on you without warning.

10. Encore: Contact Us

Got questions? Concerns? Just want to say hi? Reach out at hello@stageleft.app

Thanks for reading the whole thing. Seriously. You're the kind of person who stays for the encore.
