Privacy Policy

Who we are

Side B is operated by Unnecessary Ventures LLC, trading as “Side B.” We are the data controller for the personal information described in this notice, which means we decide how and why it is collected and used. You can reach us at hello@sidebapp.com.

What we collect

When you create a Side B account, we collect your email address and any display name you choose. If you make a mixtape, we store the songs, title, dedication, and any voice notes you add. We also keep basic usage logs so the app can function (for example, authentication sessions, device and browser information, IP address, and mixtape IDs).

Legal basis and retention

We process account and mixtape data to perform our contract with you, security and fraud-prevention data under our legitimate interests, marketing emails with your consent (withdrawable at any time), and tax or accounting records to meet legal obligations. We keep data for as long as your account is active, and delete or anonymise it when it is no longer needed.

How we use it

We use your information to run Side B: creating mixtapes, sending them to recipients, syncing your library, and processing Supporter subscriptions. We do not sell your personal information to anyone.

Sharing with third parties

We use a few trusted services to keep Side B running:

• Lovable Cloud for authentication, database, and storage.
• Paddle as our Merchant of Record for the sale of Supporter subscriptions — payments, subscription management, invoicing, and tax compliance.
• Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube for song search and playback links.
• Sender for optional newsletter/email delivery if you sign up for updates.

Cookies and tracking

Side B uses standard session cookies to keep you signed in. We do not use advertising trackers or third-party analytics cookies.

Your choices

You can delete your mixtapes, update your profile, or stop receiving newsletter emails at any time. To close your account or request a copy of your data, contact us through the Contact page.

Security

We use industry-standard encryption in transit (HTTPS) and at rest for your data. Access to your account is protected by your password or social sign-in provider.

Changes

We may update this policy as Side B grows. If we make significant changes, we’ll post the new version here and update the “Last updated” date.
