4. Cookies & Consent

We use cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience, measure traffic, and serve advertising where applicable.

Cookie Consent Banner: When you first visit our site, you'll see a cookie consent banner at the bottom of the screen. You can choose to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored locally for 180 days and we won't show the banner again during that time.

Essential Cookies: Some cookies are essential for the core functionality of our service and may still be used even if you reject non-essential cookies. These enable basic features like page navigation and access to secure areas.

Changing Your Choice: You can change your cookie preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies and localStorage for our site. The banner will appear again on your next visit, allowing you to make a new choice.

You can also control cookie settings through your browser preferences, though some features of the service may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

5. Advertising (Google AdSense)

We display advertisements on some pages of our website (such as our blog) using Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Show you relevant ads based on your interests
• Measure ad performance and effectiveness
• Prevent fraud and ensure ad quality

If you reject non-essential cookies via our consent banner, we will attempt to show non-personalized ads where supported. Non-personalized ads are still based on contextual information (like the content of the page you're viewing) but do not use your browsing history or personal information.

To learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services, visit Google's privacy policy. You can also manage your ad preferences through Google Ads Settings.

6. Third-Party Services

Ready to Promo relies on third-party services to operate, including:

• Spotify API: To retrieve track metadata and audio features for analysis.
• Google (Advertising & Analytics): To display ads and measure traffic on our site. Google uses cookies and similar technologies as described in the Advertising section above.
• Hosting and infrastructure providers: To host and run our service.
• Analytics tools: To understand user behavior and improve the service.

Ready to Promo does not control how these third-party services handle your data. These third parties have their own privacy policies that govern how they collect, use, and protect your information. We recommend that you review the privacy policies of these third-party services separately to understand their data practices.

7. Affiliate Links

Ready to Promo may include affiliate links to third-party music promotion platforms and services. When you click on these links, you may be redirected to external websites that have their own privacy policies and data practices.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

8. Data Storage and Security

We use reasonable technical measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

As an MVP-stage product, we continue to improve our security practices, but we cannot guarantee absolute security. By using Ready to Promo, you acknowledge that you share information at your own risk.

9. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as necessary to operate and improve the service, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. Usage data and analysis results may be stored to improve our models and service quality.
