Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 10, 2026 · Operator: Nicólas Soul (sole proprietorship), Nashville, Tennessee · Website: soulnicolas.com

Short version: I only collect what the site needs to work, to see which songs people love, and to email you if you ask me to. I don't sell your information, and there are no ads or tracking pixels here.

1. Overview and hosting

This website is a music app and fan site. It is hosted on Cloudflare. The music, release information, comments and sign-up lists are stored with Google (Google Drive, Google Sheets and Google Apps Script), which also streams the audio you play. These providers handle basic technical data (such as your IP address and browser type) to deliver the site and keep it secure.

2. What is collected, feature by feature

When you…What is collectedWhy
Visit or browse the siteTechnical data your device sends with any web request: IP address, browser and device type, pages requested. Handled by Cloudflare and Google as our hosts. I don’t run analytics or advertising trackers.To load the site and keep it secure.
Play a songA random ID stored on your device (not your name or email), which song, how many seconds you listened, whether you finished or skipped it, whether you are on a phone or computer, and which share link you used. A play counts after 30 seconds.To see which songs fans love. This is not used to identify you.
Open a fan club linkThe name and member number I gave that link (for example, the first name I know you by).To welcome you and keep track of links.
Leave a comment on a songThe name you type, your comment, and the time in the song it refers to. Your name is also remembered on your own device so you don’t have to retype it.To show your note to me (and, if a link allows it, other listeners).
Join the Soul Tribe (/join)First name, email and your consent. Optional: last name, city, birth year, Instagram or TikTok handle, how you found me, and favorite release. Also which page you signed up from.To send you the newsletter and understand who is listening.
Receive the newsletterI send from my own account. If you tap a reaction link (“Loved it”, “Pretty good”, “Not my favorite”), your email, the song and your answer are saved. If you unsubscribe, your consent is switched off.To send updates you asked for and learn what you like.
Use the tour tracker (#ROADTO100SHOWS)Your browser loads show data from a public Google Sheet and my YouTube subscriber count from YouTube, so Google and YouTube see your IP address. Nothing you type is collected. If a fan-footage form is added later, I will update this policy first.To show the live map and follower counts.
Look at the Tour → Shows list (shows)The list is provided by Bandsintown and loads from their servers, so Bandsintown sees your IP address and browser details, and may set its own cookies and use analytics tools (for example Google Tag Manager). If you tap Follow, RSVP or Tickets, you are dealing with Bandsintown (or the ticket seller) under their policies. I don’t receive anything you enter there.To show my upcoming and past shows.
Something goes wrongA short anonymous error message from the app (and sometimes your browser type). No names or emails.To find and fix bugs.
Email meYour email address and whatever you write.To reply to you.

3. Cookies and storage on your device

This site doesn’t use advertising or tracking cookies of its own. (The Bandsintown shows list is a third-party service and may set its own; see section 4.) It saves a few small items in your browser’s own storage so it works well: your random listening ID, the name you used on a comment, your volume, a saved copy of the song list so it opens faster, your recent plays and play queue, and whether you dismissed the “Add to Home Screen” tip. You can clear these any time in your browser settings; the site will still work, but may forget your name and volume.

5. How your information is used

6. Sharing

I don’t sell your personal information, and I don’t “share” it for advertising. I share information only with the service providers above so they can run the site, or when required by law, legal process, or to protect rights, property, or safety.

7. How long it is kept

Listening records, comments, the fan list and the error log are kept until they are no longer useful or you ask me to remove your information. The error log is trimmed automatically to a few thousand entries. If you unsubscribe from the newsletter, I stop emailing you but may keep the record that you did, so I don’t email you again by mistake.

8. Where information is processed

Cloudflare and Google run servers in the United States and other countries. By using the site you understand your information may be processed in those places.

9. Children

The site is not intended for anyone under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The birth year on the sign-up form is optional. If you believe a child has given me information, email me and I will delete it.

10. Your choices

Because listening records use a random ID rather than your name, I can’t look up “your” listening unless you tell me the ID stored on your device.

11. Changes

If this policy changes, I will update it here and change the effective date. If a change affects how I use your email, I will tell newsletter subscribers.
