Privacy
policy.

• We collect what you type into the contact form: your name, email address, subject, inquiry type and message. That is the whole list.
• There are no accounts on this site and no logins. We may use a website analytics tool to see which pages people actually read — the cookies section below covers what that means.
• We use what you send us to answer you. We do not sell it, rent it, or hand it to anyone looking to market to you.
• You can ask us what we hold about you, and ask us to delete it, at info@vsthewrldrecords.com.

That summary is here so you can get on with your day. The sections below are the actual policy, and they are the ones that count.

VsTheWrld Records LLC (“VsTheWrld Records”, “the label”, “we”, “us”) is an independent record label. We run this website, vsthewrldrecords.com, and we decide what happens to the information collected through it.

This policy covers this website and the email addresses published on it. It does not cover our profiles on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or Facebook, or the streaming services our music appears on. Those platforms collect their own information under their own policies, and we have no control over what they do.

What you give us. The contact and bookings form asks for five things, and all five are required:

• Your name
• Your email address
• A subject line
• An inquiry type — Booking, Demo submission, Press / Interview, Collaboration, or Other
• Your message

The form also carries one hidden field that a person never sees and never fills in. It is a spam trap. If anything comes back in it, we treat the submission as automated and throw it away — it is never written to our database and never read by a human. It exists for that purpose only, and for no other.

What you send us by email. If you write to us directly rather than using the form, we hold whatever you chose to put in that email, in our mailbox, for as long as the thread is worth keeping.

What any web server sees. Loading a page involves your device telling our host things it needs in order to answer: your IP address, your browser and operating system, the page you asked for, and the time you asked for it. Our hosting provider handles that as part of serving and protecting the site. We do not build profiles from it, and we do not link it to form submissions.

We use what you send us to:

• Read your message and reply to it.
• Consider a booking, a collaboration, a press request or a demo, and to talk it through with you.
• Keep a record of the conversation, so we know what was said and agreed.
• Keep spam, abuse and automated submissions out of our inbox.

If you are in the UK or the European Economic Area and want the formal wording: we rely on our legitimate interests in running a record label and answering people who choose to contact us, and — where you have written to us about a possible deal, booking or release — on taking steps at your request before entering into a contract. We do not rely on consent-based tracking, because we do not do any tracking to consent to.

We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling. We do not sell it, rent it, or trade it. If a change ever made that untrue, we would say so on this page before it happened.

Privacy policies tend to describe everything a company might conceivably do. This is a list of what this site actually does not do, checked against the code that runs it:

• There are no user accounts, no passwords and no logins.
• We do not sell your information, and we do not share it with advertisers or data brokers.
• We do not use what you send through the contact form to build an advertising profile of you or to target you with ads elsewhere.
• There is no newsletter list and no marketing automation.
• We do not try to work out who you are from your browsing. Any analytics we run is for traffic in aggregate — which pages get read, roughly where visitors arrive from — not for following one person around.

If any of that changes, this policy changes with it, and the “Last updated” date at the top of this page moves.

Cookies. We set none of our own for advertising, and we never use one to identify you by name.

Analytics. We may use a website analytics service — Google Analytics or something like it — to understand how the site gets used: which pages are read, which releases people look at, roughly which country a visit came from. A service like that sets its own cookies or similar identifiers in your browser and receives your IP address and the pages you viewed, under its provider’s privacy policy as well as this one. We use it to make the site better, not to work out who you are. Where the law where you live requires consent before non-essential cookies are set, we will ask first, and declining costs you nothing here. Browser settings, privacy modes and content blockers can refuse it outright.

Session storage. The site stores exactly one value in your browser: a flag remembering that the opening animation has already played, so you do not sit through it on every page. It holds the value “1”, it says nothing about you, it never leaves your device, it is never sent to us, and your browser discards it when you close the tab.

Content served by other companies. Two things on this site are fetched from somewhere other than our own server, and both mean your browser makes a request that we do not see the other end of:

• Fonts. The two typefaces used across the site are loaded from Google’s font CDN. That request tells Google your IP address and browser details.
• Video. Some release pages embed a YouTube player. Nothing is requested from YouTube until you open a page that has one. When you do, YouTube receives your IP address and may set its own cookies, under Google’s privacy policy rather than this one. We receive nothing back from those embeds — not who watched, not what was watched.

Browser settings, privacy modes and content blockers can block both of those. The site is built to still work if you do.

When you press send, this is the path your submission takes, in order. We would rather describe it plainly than gesture at “trusted partners”.

1. It is posted to a function running on our own server, not straight from your browser to a database. That function checks the submission again, on the server, where the check cannot be skipped.
2. It is written as a single row in a PostgreSQL database hosted by Supabase. That row holds your name, email, subject, inquiry type, message and the time it arrived. Nothing else.
3. A notification containing your submission is emailed to an internal label address so that a person actually sees it. That email is delivered through Resend, which processes it in transit.
4. The site itself is built and hosted through Lovable, whose infrastructure serves these pages and runs the function in step one.

Each of those companies acts as a processor on our instructions, under its own security and privacy terms. None of them is permitted to use your submission for its own purposes. We do not disclose submissions to anyone else, with two exceptions: professional advisers who are themselves under a duty of confidence, and where the law requires it or we need it to establish or defend a legal claim.

We keep a submission while the conversation it started is live, and afterwards as a record of who approached the label and what was discussed.

• Spam caught by the trap described above is discarded on arrival and never stored.
• Routine inquiries that go nowhere are reviewed and cleared out periodically. We do not hoard them.
• Anything that led to a booking, a release, a contract or a dispute is kept for as long as we may need it for record-keeping, tax or legal reasons.

Ask us to delete yours sooner and we will, unless we are legally required to hold on to it — in which case we will tell you that, and why.

• The whole site is served over HTTPS, so what you type is encrypted in transit.
• Your submission is validated on the server, not only in your browser, and the database enforces the same limits again. A request that skipped the form entirely still cannot write something we did not intend to accept.
• The database has row-level security switched on, and the key this site uses can only insert rows. It cannot read, change or delete a single submission. There is no route from a web browser to reading someone else’s message.
• The credentials that reach the database live in server-side environment variables and are never included in anything sent to your browser.
• Access to submissions is limited to the people at the label who need to answer them.

No system is perfect and we are not going to claim otherwise. If a breach affects your information, we will tell you and any regulator we are required to notify, without unnecessary delay.

Whatever else applies where you live, you can always ask us to:

• Tell you whether we hold anything about you, and give you a copy of it.
• Correct something that is wrong.
• Delete what we hold.
• Stop using it for a particular purpose, or restrict what we do with it.
• Send you a copy in a portable format, or send it on to someone else.

Email info@vsthewrldrecords.com with “Privacy request” in the subject line, from the address you contacted us with, and tell us roughly when you wrote and what about. We will reply within 30 days. There is no charge. We may ask you a question to confirm it is really your information before we hand any of it over — that check protects you, not us.

If you are in the UK or the EEA, you also have the right to complain to your data protection supervisory authority. We would rather you came to us first so we can fix it.

If you are a California resident: we do not sell or share personal information as the CCPA uses those terms, we do not offer financial incentives in exchange for it, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising any right. Requests to know, delete or correct go to the same address.

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has sent us something through this site, email info@vsthewrldrecords.com and we will delete it.

We are a United States company, and the services described above operate in the United States and elsewhere. If you contact us from outside the US, your information will be transferred to and processed in the US, where data protection law is not the same as it is where you live. By sending us a message you understand that transfer is going to happen. Where transfer safeguards such as standard contractual clauses apply to our providers, we rely on theirs.

We will update this page when what we do changes. The “Last updated” date at the top always reflects the current version, and anything material — a new processor, a new kind of information, a new purpose — will be described here rather than quietly folded in. If you keep using the site after a change, that is the version that applies to you.

VsTheWrld Records LLC is organised under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, United States, and this policy is governed by Pennsylvania law — alongside any data protection law that applies to you where you live. Nothing on this page takes away a right you have under your local law.
