PRIVACY POLICY.
This policy explains how ODESA Music handles information when you visit the website, contact ODESA, join an email list, use the free producer tools, create lyric videos or use EasyDAW.
Last updated: 1 November 2026
1. Who controls your information
ODESA Music is the operator of this website and the controller of personal information collected directly through it. Privacy enquiries and requests can be submitted through the Contact page.
2. Information that may be collected
- Information you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address and message.
- Subscription, download or purchase details handled through services such as Gumroad.
- Basic technical and usage information supplied by Blogger, Google, analytics services or embedded content providers, including device type, browser, approximate location, referring page and pages visited.
- Preferences and project information stored locally in your browser by ODESA producer tools and EasyDAW.
- If you choose to join the Lyric Video Maker's optional artist discovery opportunity, the artist name, song title, selected video format and resolution, and the date and time of your submission. See section 4.
3. Audio, MIDI and project files
ODESA's browser-based producer tools, Lyric Video Maker and EasyDAW are designed to process imported audio, MIDI, artwork, lyrics and project data in your browser. ODESA does not intentionally upload or retain these source files or your generated videos on an ODESA-controlled server unless a feature clearly tells you otherwise before you use it.
Some tools may save recovery data, preferences, generated material or project information in browser storage such as localStorage or IndexedDB. This information remains associated with your browser profile and device. Clearing site data, using private browsing, changing browser profiles or removing the browser may delete it permanently. You should export and independently back up important projects.
4. Lyric Video Maker: optional artist discovery
The Free Lyric Video Maker includes an optional checkbox inviting you to share details about your music with ODESA for possible discovery and consideration for a feature on our website or social channels. The box is not selected by default. You can create and download a lyric video without selecting it.
What you share: If you tick the checkbox, your artist name, song title, selected video format and resolution are submitted to ODESA, together with the submission date and time. This happens when you tick the box, even if you do not export a video. ODESA may use those details to look for your publicly available music, review it and consider getting in touch or featuring it. Submission does not guarantee that a track will be found, featured or promoted.
Where it goes: The details are received through a Google Apps Script web application, recorded in a private Google Sheet and sent as a notification to ODESA's email inbox using Google's services. They are not displayed as a public list. ODESA does not receive your audio files, lyrics, artwork or exported video through this optional feature.
Your choice and removal: ODESA relies on your consent for this artist discovery submission. You can leave the checkbox unticked without affecting the tool. If you change your mind after submitting, request withdrawal of consent or deletion through our Contact page and include the artist name and track title so we can locate the entry. Unticking the checkbox after a submission does not automatically recall information already sent. ODESA will stop using the submitted details for this purpose following a withdrawal request and handle deletion requests in accordance with applicable law.
How long we keep it: Artist discovery submissions and associated notification emails are reviewed periodically and removed when no longer needed to consider music for a feature, or following a valid deletion request, unless limited retention is necessary to meet a legal obligation or establish, exercise or defend legal claims. A feature or any separate communication may involve additional information, which will be explained at that stage.
5. Why information is used
- To operate, secure and improve the website and its tools.
- To answer messages and provide requested support.
- To deliver downloads, purchases and transactional communications.
- To consider artists for music discovery or possible features when they voluntarily opt in through the Lyric Video Maker.
- To send marketing only where there is a valid permission or another lawful basis.
- To understand website performance and prevent abuse.
- To meet legal, accounting and security obligations.
6. Third-party services
The website is hosted on Blogger and may contain services or embeds operated by Google, YouTube, Gumroad, Spotify, SoundCloud and other linked platforms. ODESA uses Google Apps Script, Google Sheets and email to process optional Lyric Video Maker artist discovery submissions. These providers may receive technical information or use their own storage technologies when their content loads, a form is submitted or you follow a link. Their processing is governed by their own applicable terms and privacy policies. Data may be processed outside the UK in accordance with the safeguards applicable to the service.
7. Legal bases
Depending on the activity and applicable law, processing may be based on your consent, performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation or ODESA's legitimate interests in operating and protecting the website, responding to users and improving its services. Optional artist discovery submissions use consent; you may withdraw it using the Contact page.
8. Retention and security
Directly collected personal information is kept only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, including legal, tax, fraud-prevention and dispute requirements. Optional artist discovery submissions are handled as described in section 4. Reasonable safeguards are used, including restricted access to the private submission spreadsheet, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.
9. Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection or portability, and to withdraw consent. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing already carried out lawfully before withdrawal. You may unsubscribe from marketing using the link in an email. Requests can be made through the Contact page. UK visitors may raise a concern with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO); visitors elsewhere may contact their relevant data-protection authority.
10. Children
The website and producer tools are not directed at children under 13. Users who are not old enough to consent under the law where they live should use the site only with permission and supervision from a parent or guardian.
11. Changes
This policy may be updated when the website, tools or legal requirements change. The last-updated date above will be revised when material changes are published.
