3. What Data We Collect

We may collect the following categories of personal information:

Automatically collected data (via Google Analytics):

• IP address (anonymized)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Pages visited, time spent, click behavior
• Approximate geographic location (country/region level)
• Referral source

Data collected through third-party embeds and links:

• When you interact with embedded YouTube players or Spotify players, those platforms may collect data independently according to their own privacy policies.
• When you click affiliate links (via CJ.com / Commission Junction), CJ.com and the respective advertiser may place tracking cookies and collect data about your interaction.

Data collected when you submit a fan vote:

• The option you selected (e.g. "CD", "VINYL", "BOTH", "NOT INTERESTED")
• A timestamp of your submission (UTC)
• A randomly generated, anonymous browser identifier (client_id) — generated locally in your browser and stored in localStorage. This identifier is not linked to your name, email, IP address, or any other personal data and is used only to prevent the same browser from voting multiple times.

Vote data is stored in a Google Sheet via Google Apps Script (Google LLC, USA) and additionally cached in your browser's localStorage as a fallback. We do not collect IP addresses, account information, or any other personally identifying information through the voting feature.

We do not operate contact forms, email newsletters, or user accounts. We do not directly collect names, email addresses, or payment information.

4. How We Use Your Data

We use the data described above for the following purposes:

• Website analytics: To understand how visitors use our Website and improve content and user experience (via Google Analytics).
• Affiliate tracking: To earn commissions when you purchase products or services through our affiliate links (via CJ.com), at no additional cost to you.
• Embedded content: To display music and video content from Spotify and YouTube.
• Fan voting: To collect aggregated, anonymous fan preferences about future releases (e.g. format polls). Only the chosen option, a timestamp, and a random anonymous browser ID are stored — never your identity, IP address, or contact details.
