What we collect, and why.
Last updated October 2, 2026. Plain-language version — no legalese we don't need.
What we collect
Email address — if you sign up for drop notifications. Used only to email you when a new gauntlet or release goes live. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe.
Wallet address — if you vote on BLOOM or send a crypto tip. Used to enforce one vote per person per gauntlet, and to record where a tip came from. We never ask for a private key or seed phrase, and never could — that's not how wallets work, and anyone asking you for one isn't us.
Submitted audio and notes — if you submit a track through Seeds, we store the audio file, the title/note you provide, and an automated transcript used for content screening before anything goes live.
Belief Button notes — if you leave a personal note with a tip, that note is stored so it reaches the artist regardless of which payment method you used.
Basic analytics — page views via Vercel Analytics, which doesn't use cookies or track you individually across other sites.
What we don't do
We don't sell your data. We don't share your email or wallet address with advertisers. We don't track you across other sites.
Who else touches this data
The infrastructure running this site is provided by third parties who process data on our behalf: Neon (database hosting), Cloudflare (audio file storage), Resend (sending emails), Vercel (hosting and analytics), and standard wallet connection tooling for anything involving BLOOM votes or tips. Each of these only sees what's necessary to do their part.
How long we keep it
A losing week's submissions and votes are removed once that week closes. Winning submissions, and the record of who won each week, are kept permanently as the public archive — that permanence is the whole point of the hall of fame. Email subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe.
Your rights
You can unsubscribe from email at any time via the link in any email we send. To request deletion of other data we hold about you, reach out via the brand/contact email in the footer below and we'll handle it directly.
