Privacy

What this page is about

This site runs on two things that touch you at all: a measurement tool from Meta, which only runs if you let it, and analytics from Cloudflare, which sets no cookies and identifies nobody.

Nothing else. There are no accounts, no newsletter, no tracking across other sites, and nothing is sold to anyone.

Advertising measurement — only with your consent

We run ads on Instagram and Facebook. To know whether an ad brings people who go on to listen, rather than people who simply land and leave, we use Meta’s pixel together with their Conversions API.

It does nothing until you accept. Before that there is no Meta code on the page, no cookie of any kind, and nothing sent anywhere. The banner remembers your answer in your browser’s own storage, not in a cookie.

If you accept, this is collected when you click through to a streaming service:

• a cookie Meta sets in your browser, _fbp, which is a random id for your browser and nothing more
• your IP address and your browser’s user agent
• which page you were on, which release it was about, and which platform you clicked
• the click id Meta attaches to the link if you arrived here from one of our ads, and only then

The purpose is narrow: to measure which ads work, and to let Meta show ours to people who behave like people who listen. The legal basis is your consent, and nothing else — there is no legitimate-interest claim behind it.

We are joint controllers with Meta for this. Meta’s Business Tools terms make us and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited joint controllers for the event data described above, which means both of us answer for it. The split of responsibilities is set out in Meta’s controller addendum.

It leaves the EU. Meta Platforms Ireland processes it and passes it on within Meta, including to the United States, under their own terms and transfer safeguards. What they do with it is governed by Meta’s privacy policy.

We keep nothing. No part of this is stored on our side — not in a database, not in a log we read. Our server passes the click to Meta and forgets it. How long Meta keeps it is Meta’s to state, in the policy linked above, and we are not going to invent a period here.

Withdrawing your consent

Change your mind at any time, here:

Withdraw consent

Withdrawing stops the pixel immediately, forgets your answer, and deletes the cookies Meta set on this site. It cannot reach data Meta already holds — for that, use the rights below, or Meta’s own settings.

Analytics, which needs no consent

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to see which pages get read. It sets no cookies, stores no identifier for you, and cannot follow you to another site. It reports counts, not people, so there is nothing to consent to and nothing to withdraw.

If you email us

An email to us is an email: we have whatever you wrote and the address you wrote from, for as long as the thread is useful.

One thing worth saying plainly: our mailbox is a Gmail account, so Google receives and stores what you send us, under Google’s privacy policy. If that is not what you want for something sensitive, write from an address you are comfortable with, or ask us for another way to talk.

Your rights

You can ask us what we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, object to its use, or ask for a copy. Write to the email address at the top of this page and we will answer. For data held by Meta, Meta has to answer too — that is what joint controllership means.

If you think we have handled this badly, you can complain to the Dutch data protection authority, Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.

Changes

If this changes in a way that affects what is collected, the banner asks again rather than quietly assuming your old answer still stands.
