We collect only the data necessary to provide and improve the Service. Below is a complete breakdown:
| Data Type | What It Includes | When Collected |
|---|---|---|
| Account Information | Email address, display name, password (hashed) | At registration |
| Usage Data | Genre selections, generation counts — anonymized, no PII | During active use |
| Device Identifier | Anonymous device ID for rate limiting; not tied to identity | On first access |
| Publishing Data | Legal name, PRO affiliation, IPI/CAE number — only when you opt into publishing | Publishing opt-in only |
| IP Address | Used for rate limiting and consent logging; not sold or profiled | On each request |
Account information is used to authenticate you, maintain your session, associate your compositions with your account, and deliver the features you have subscribed to.
Device IDs and IP addresses are used to enforce usage rate limits, detect fraudulent activity, and protect the platform from abuse. This data is retained for no longer than 90 days for security purposes.
When you opt into publishing services, your legal name, PRO affiliation, and IPI number are used exclusively to register your compositions with the relevant Performing Rights Organizations and to administer royalty collection on your behalf. This data is shared only with the PROs necessary to process your registrations.
We may analyze anonymized, aggregated usage patterns — such as popular genres, generation volumes, or feature usage trends — to improve the platform and understand musical trends. No personally identifiable information is included in this analysis.
We use the following trusted third-party services to operate Soniq. Each provider has been evaluated for data handling practices consistent with this policy:
| Provider | Purpose | Data Shared |
|---|---|---|
| Anthropic API | AI lyrics and song generation | Song prompts only — no PII is transmitted |
| Upstash Redis | Rate limiting and analytics | Anonymous device ID and request counts |
| Supabase | User accounts and publishing records | Account info and publishing metadata (encrypted at rest) |
| Stripe | Subscription payment processing | Payment details — we never store card data; all card data is handled exclusively by Stripe |
| Vercel | Platform hosting and deployment | Standard web server logs (IP, request paths — retained per Vercel's policy) |

Soniq uses a minimal, privacy-first approach to cookies:
You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies at any time. Blocking session cookies will require you to log in on each visit.
Soniq is intended for users who are at least 13 years of age. Users under 13 are not permitted to create accounts or use the Service. Users between 13 and 17 may access limited creative features of the platform with verifiable parental consent, but are not eligible for publishing services.
Publishing features require users to be at least 18 years old. By opting into publishing services, you confirm that you meet this age requirement.
If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided personal information without appropriate consent, we will delete that information promptly. If you believe a minor has used the Service improperly, please contact us at legal@nuwavmedia.com.
