SwankyTone Music Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 8/15/2024

At SwankyTone Records, our mission is to build a dynamic catalog of California recordings while respecting both the artists who create the music and the fans who support it. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you interact with our website, sign up for our newsletter, or use our digital smart links.

I. Information We Collect

We only collect information that is necessary to keep you updated on our roster and releases.

  • Directly Provided Information: When you sign up for the SwankyTone newsletter via our website, we collect your email address and, if provided, your first and last name.

  • Information Collected via Third-Party Partners (Feature.fm): We use Feature.fm to power our music smart links, pre-saves, and marketing campaigns. When you interact with a Feature.fm link (such as pre-saving a new SwankyTone release on Spotify, Apple Music, or another provider), you may be prompted to grant permission to access certain information from your streaming account, such as your email address.

II. How We Use Your Information

We do not believe in spamming our listeners. The information we collect is used strictly for the following purposes:

  • To send you the SwankyTone Newsletter featuring new music announcements, artist updates, and physical media releases (future).

  • To deliver promotional content related specifically to the artists and releases you have interacted with or pre-saved.

  • To understand general audience demographics to better serve our artists and fans.

III. Third-Party Partners and Feature.fm

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to outside data brokers. We only share data with trusted third-party services that directly help us operate the label and communicate with you.

Feature.fm: When you use a SwankyTone pre-save link or smart link, your data is processed through Feature.fm. Feature.fm collects and stores this data on our behalf so we can email you per Section II. “How We Use Your Information.” Please note that Feature.fm operates under its own privacy practices. You can review the Feature.fm Privacy Policy directly on their website to understand exactly how they handle the data they process.

IV. Data Security

We take reasonable and industry-standard precautions to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. Your email addresses are stored securely within our email marketing platform and Feature.fm dashboards, accessible only by authorized SwankyTone personnel.

V. Your Choices and Rights

You maintain complete control over your inbox.

  • Opting Out: You can unsubscribe from the SwankyTone newsletter at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link located at the bottom of every email we send.

  • Revoking Streaming Access: If you previously authorized a pre-save campaign via Feature.fm and wish to revoke that access, you can do so directly within the settings and privacy menus of your respective streaming platforms (e.g., Spotify or Apple Music).

VI. Changes to This Policy

We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page, and the "Effective Date" at the top will be adjusted accordingly.

VII. Contact Us
