Review Our Privacy Policy to Protect Your Personal Data
Understand how we handle the digital traces you leave behind when tuning into our remote transmissions and submitting sound art to the void.
Introduction to Our Privacy Practices
Last updated: June 15, 2026
Broadcasting audio from isolated places requires a delicate balance between reaching a global audience and respecting the silence of our surroundings. We apply this same philosophy to your personal data. When you connect to our streams or send us your recordings, you leave a digital footprint. We treat these traces with strict confidentiality.
Our approach is rooted in minimal collection. We gather only what is strictly necessary to maintain the signal—nothing more. This document outlines the mechanics of our data handling, ensuring you know exactly what happens when you interact with our infrastructure.
Third-Party Services and External Links
Pushing a live audio feed from a remote forest to listeners worldwide relies on external networks. We partner with specific streaming relays and server hosts to keep the broadcast alive. These infrastructure providers process connection requests on our behalf, operating under strict data processing agreements that prevent them from repurposing your information.
You will occasionally find links to artist portfolios or external archives within our program notes. Navigating away from our domain means entering a different data environment. We do not control the tracking mechanisms employed by these external sites. Always review the privacy frameworks of any destination you visit after leaving our transmission.
Information We Collect from Listeners and Artists
We collect information you provide directly when using the site. If you submit a track for an upcoming broadcast, we require an email address and a name or alias. This allows us to organize the schedule and notify you when your work hits the airwaves. Some artists choose to send physical media to our drop boxes. In these cases, return addresses and physical packaging details are recorded solely for archival cataloging before being securely destroyed.
For listeners tuning in, our servers temporarily log IP addresses and browser types. This is a technical requirement for routing the audio stream to your device. We do not deploy invasive tracking scripts or build behavioral profiles based on your listening habits.
How We Utilize Your Data for Our Broadcasts
We use collected information to provide and improve our services. Connection logs help us monitor server stability during peak transmission hours, ensuring the audio does not drop when thousands of listeners connect simultaneously. We analyze aggregate listener counts to determine which geographical regions are tuning in. This geographic data dictates where we might position future physical transmitters or host localized listening events. It is a tested method for mapping the reach of our signal without compromising individual anonymity.
Artist contact details remain siloed in our submission database, used exclusively for broadcast coordination. While we implement strong encryption for all submission portals, no digital transmission is entirely immune to interception. We design our systems to mitigate risk, but absolute security remains an ongoing challenge in any networked environment.
Your Rights Regarding Personal Information
You retain authority over the data you share with us. If you submitted audio files and wish to have your contact details purged from our records after the broadcast concludes, you can request immediate deletion. Listeners can also inquire about any temporary connection data associated with their network.
We believe in transparent operations. You have the right to access, correct, or erase your personal information without facing unnecessary administrative hurdles. Our team handles these requests directly, bypassing automated systems to guarantee your data is handled with human oversight.
Policy Updates and Contact Information
Technology shifts constantly, and our methods for capturing and distributing sound evolve alongside it. We will revise this document whenever we integrate new streaming protocols or alter our submission workflows. Significant changes will be announced during our live broadcasts and noted at the top of this page.
If you have questions about how your data is handled—or wish to exercise your rights, reach out to our operators. You can find our secure communication channels on the Contact & Submissions page.
