Privacy
Short version: you can listen without telling us anything. If you submit music or email us, we keep what you sent and nothing else.
Before this goes live: set the legal entity name and registered address, register with the ICO in Livegen Radio's own name (it is a fully independent company, so it needs its own registration and its own £52 fee), fill in the data-retention periods marked [ ], add the voice-note and waitlist sections, and decide whether to self-host the font (see section 6).
1. Who we are
Livegen Radio is operated by [ ] — set the legal entity name, a business registered in England and Wales at [ ] — set the registered address. We are the data controller for everything described on this page. For anything about your data, email [privacy@ — set this address].
2. Listening to the station
You don't need an account and we don't ask for anything. Our streaming server keeps standard technical logs — IP address, browser type, which stream you connected to, and how long you listened — because that's how a stream works and how we count listeners.
We use those numbers in aggregate: how many people listened, roughly where from, which lanes are popular. We don't try to identify individuals and we don't build profiles. Logs are kept for [ ] months and then deleted.
3. If you submit music
We store what you put in the form: artist name, email, socials, track title, the link, which tool and plan you used, the date, your prompt if you gave one, the declarations you ticked, and which version of the terms you accepted.
We hold it because we have to. If a rights question is ever raised about a track we played, that record is the answer — it's how we prove the catalogue is clean. So we keep submission records for as long as the track is on air, and for [ ] years afterwards.
Your artist name and socials are public — that's the point, we put them on air and on screen. Your email is never published and never sold.
4. Email
We'll email you about your own submission. We'll only add you to anything wider if you ask, and there's an unsubscribe link on everything. If you'd rather we didn't contact you at all, say so and we won't.
5. What's stored in your own browser
The "stay in this lane" counter is saved in your browser's local storage so the station knows how many you've used today. It never reaches us. It doesn't identify you, it isn't shared, and clearing your browser data removes it. It isn't a cookie and isn't used for tracking.
We don't run advertising trackers or third-party analytics. If that changes, this page changes first.
6. Other people's services
- Our streaming host — serves the audio and keeps the logs described above.
- Supabase — stores submissions.
- Netlify — serves this website.
- Google Fonts — the typeface loads from Google's servers, which means Google sees your IP address when the page loads. [Either keep this disclosure or self-host the font and delete this line.]
- A payment processor — only if you tip an artist or subscribe. They handle the card details; we never see them.
7. Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask us to show you what we hold, correct it, delete it, or stop using it. Email us and we'll do it within a month — usually the same week, because there isn't much to look through.
If you submitted a track and want it gone, that's two separate things and you can ask for either or both: take the track off air, and delete my details. Say which you want.
If you think we've handled your data badly, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk. We'd rather you told us first so we can fix it.
8. Children
The station isn't aimed at children and we don't knowingly take submissions from under-16s. If you're under 16 and you've sent us something, get a parent or guardian to email us and we'll sort it out.
9. Changes
If we change how any of this works, this page is updated before the change happens, not after. Last updated: [date].
