PRIVACY
POLICY.

01. Who we are

The Senate DJs is a non-commercial DJ collective. This website presents member profiles and public posts and provides an invitation-only portal for members. We do not handle bookings or payments between visitors and members.

02. Information we collect

We collect information that members or invited members provide, including names, stage names, email addresses, location, biography, profile links, images, media, posts, house assignment, access role, charter acceptance details, private member messages, Senate proposals, comments, and ballots. We may also receive information you send when you contact us.

Like most websites, our hosting, security, and analytics services may process basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages requested, referral source, timestamps, and authentication or analytics cookies.

03. How we use information

We use information to operate and secure the website, authenticate members, maintain profiles, publish member-approved content, administer invitations and permissions, record charter acceptance, support member communication and Senate voting, respond to questions, understand site traffic and engagement, diagnose problems, and improve the site.

04. When information is shared

We do not sell personal information. We share information only when needed to operate the site, comply with law, protect the collective or its members, or when you direct us to publish it. Service providers may process limited information on our behalf, including Vercel for website hosting, Supabase for database and authentication services, Resend for transactional email, Cloudflare Turnstile for contact-form spam protection, and Google Analytics for website traffic and engagement measurement.

Public profiles and posts are visible to anyone. Embedded music or video from services such as Mixcloud, SoundCloud, or YouTube may allow those services to receive technical information under their own privacy policies.

Private messages, Chamber proposals, comments, and voting activity are restricted to authenticated active members. Individual ballots are kept private from other members; the Chamber displays aggregate results according to each proposal's results setting.

05. Cookies and authentication

We use cookies or similar browser storage needed to keep members signed in, protect accounts, remember essential site state, and measure how visitors use the site through Google Analytics. Google explains how it uses information from sites that use its services on its partner sites policy page. Third-party media players may set their own cookies when loaded or used. We do not currently operate an online shop.

06. Retention and security

We retain information for as long as it is needed to operate the collective, maintain public content, document membership and charter acceptance, meet legal obligations, or resolve disputes. We use reasonable safeguards, but no online system can guarantee absolute security.

07. Your choices

You may ask to review, correct, or remove personal information associated with you. Some records, such as signed charter records or published material with an ongoing organizational purpose, may be retained when appropriate. Members can update much of their public profile through the member portal.

08. Children

The site and member portal are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

09. Changes and contact

We may update this policy as the site changes. The effective date above will reflect the latest revision. For privacy questions or requests, email senatedj@gmail.com.
