Who is responsible

The controller of the data described here is [OWNER: legal name of the operator], [OWNER: postal address].

For data requests write to info@producer.fm.

What we keep when you read the site

  • There are no accounts, no sign-in and no newsletter on the site today.
  • Public pages set no cookie and load no tracking or advertising script.
  • When you follow a store link (an address under /go/), we record the link, the time, the path of our page you came from (without any query), and whether the request came from a browser, a bot or an AI agent. We do not store your IP address or your browser's user agent with it.
  • To tell a repeat click from a first one, we keep a one-way hash of a daily secret, your IP address, your user agent, the link and the date. It cannot be turned back into your address, and it is deleted at midnight UTC the same day.
  • Our hosting provider keeps request logs (IP address, browser, address requested, time) to run and protect the service, for [OWNER: retention of the hosting logs].

Videos

Tool pages can show YouTube videos. The player loads only when you press "Play video"; before that your browser makes no request to YouTube. We use YouTube's privacy-enhanced address (youtube-nocookie.com).

The home page and the videos page list popular videos. Their preview pictures come from our own server, not from YouTube; a video opens on youtube.com in a new tab only when you choose it.

Once the player loads, YouTube receives your IP address and browser data and may store data in your browser. Read Google's privacy policy.

Store links

Some store links are affiliate links. When you follow one you leave our site; the store may set its own cookies to credit us with a sale. That is governed by the store's own privacy policy.

People named on tool pages

Some tool pages name artists who use the tool, with a link to the public source. If you are named and want the entry removed, write to us through the contact page.

Service providers

  • Vercel: hosting, region Frankfurt.
  • Neon: database, region Frankfurt.
  • Upstash: cache, region Frankfurt.
  • Anthropic: receives facts collected from vendors' public product pages to draft summaries. It receives no data about visitors.

[OWNER: confirm the data processing terms with each provider and any transfer outside the EU]

Legal bases and retention

Click records and the repeat-click hash rest on our legitimate interest in counting how store links are used [OWNER: confirm the legal basis]. Click records are kept for [OWNER: retention of click records]. The hash is kept until midnight UTC.

Your rights

You can ask for access to, correction or deletion of your data, object to its use, or ask us to restrict it, through the contact page. Because we store no address or identifier with clicks, we usually cannot find a click of yours.

You can complain to a data protection authority: [OWNER: name of the competent authority].

Changes

Accounts, a newsletter, wishlists, profiles and advertising are not built yet. This page will describe them before they go live.
