4. Third-Party Data Processors

MusiGod uses the following third-party services to operate the platform. Each processes your data only as necessary to provide their service:

5. Uploaded Documents and Statements

Documents you upload are stored in our secure database (Supabase) and are accessible only to MusiGod staff authorized to work on your account. Documents are used exclusively to:

• Verify catalog ownership and rights
• Support recovery case analysis and society submissions

Documents are retained per our Document Retention Policy. Royalty statements are retained for a minimum of 5 years. Signed agreements are retained for 7 years. See Section 8 for full retention schedules.

6. Signatures and Agreement Records

When you sign an agreement or accept terms through the platform, we record:

• The version of the document you signed
• The timestamp and method of signature
• Your IP address and device information at the time of signing
• A hash of the rendered agreement for integrity verification

These records constitute the binding signature event and are retained as part of our immutable legal audit trail. They are not deletable under standard deletion requests.

7. Audit Findings and Recovery Intelligence

MusiGod generates analytical outputs including audit scores, royalty leakage estimates, recovery probability scores, and recommended actions. These outputs are derived from your catalog data using our internal algorithms. They are:

• Used solely to conduct recovery operations on your behalf
• Not shared with third parties except collection societies as necessary for recovery
• Retained as part of your operational record for dispute resolution and audit defense

• Correction — Request correction of inaccurate data
• Deletion — Request deletion of data not subject to legal retention requirements
• Portability — Request export of your catalog metadata in a structured format
• Restriction — Request restriction of processing in certain circumstances

Note: Deletion requests cannot remove data subject to legal holds, active recovery cases, or statutory retention requirements. We will inform you of any applicable restrictions when processing your request.

10. Operational Audit Logs

MusiGod maintains an immutable operational audit log of key platform events including agreement signatures, authorization grants, terms acceptances, and administrative actions. These logs exist to protect both you and MusiGod in the event of disputes and cannot be modified or deleted by any party.

12. Security

MusiGod employs industry-standard security practices including encrypted data storage (Supabase encryption at rest), HTTPS-only data transmission, API key authentication, and role-based access controls. We conduct periodic security reviews of our infrastructure.

No system is perfectly secure. In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.
