PrivacyPrivacy

The short version

Your songs are yours. Private songs are visible only to you and the people you invite. We don’t sell your data or show you ads.

What we collect

• Your account: your name, username, email address and, if you add them, a photo, a short bio, location and the roles you choose.
• What you make: songs, ideas, versions, comments, invites and the choices you make on your songs.
• If you join the beta list: your name, email, what you make, an optional link and an optional note.
• Notifications: if you turn them on, the address your browser gives us for delivering them. Turning them off removes it.
• Technical: when something breaks, which page it was, what went wrong and your browser type, so we can fix it.
• Recording quality: after each recording, how quickly it started and whether any of it was lost, with your browser type and kind of device. Never the audio itself, and not linked to your account.
• Getting started: the first time you join, add an idea, record, build on someone’s idea or decide on someone’s work, so we can see where Second Verse is hard to use. We look at these as daily totals, not per person.
• Which features get used: a daily count each time a newer feature is used (for example the piano voicings or the command bar), so we know what to keep. Counts only — nothing about who.
• Reports and blocks: if you report something, what you reported, why and any note you add; if you block someone, who. Only the people who run Second Verse see reports, and the person reported isn’t told who sent it.
• Tell us: if you send us a note from the account menu, what you wrote, the kind of note, and the page you were on (without anything after a “?” in its address). Only the people who run Second Verse read it, and it’s deleted with your account.

How we use it

• To run Second Verse: show your songs to the people allowed to see them, credit your work, and tell you when something happens on your songs.
• To send your beta invite and occasional beta news. Every email lets you stop them.
• To fix problems and keep the service safe.

Who can see what

Private songs: you and the people you invite. Public songs: anyone with the link, and they appear on Explore and in search. Your profile shows your public work only.

Where it’s kept

On Google Cloud and Vercel, in the United States.

Your choices

You can edit your profile, make songs private and turn notifications off at any time. Your account page lets you download everything you made and delete your account yourself; or email us (below) and we’ll take care of it, beta details included.
