We publish one notice per relationship, so you only read what applies to you. Every document says who it is for.

Promises

What we hold to.

The plain-language version of the documents below. Each of these is written down in one of them.

01 Free for artists The handle, the pages, your team and verification. Apps that read artists at volume are the ones who pay.
02 Reachable, not listed Every artist has an address, and nothing here is a directory to browse. Our sitemap holds an artist only while its own search-engine switch is on.
03 The artist owns the profile Owners edit it and choose the apps that work on it. A person an app gives access edits it too and runs the team, but never takes an owner away. Owners cut an app off at any time, and its access with it.
04 We say that we check, never how Verified means TAP checked that the people behind this profile are the artist or their team. The methods are ours to choose and change.
05 Counted unless you say no, measured only if you say yes One script counts visits from your first page, without a cookie, unless you turn it off, and the same switch stops the counts an artist reads: views, clicks, copies, downloads and messages. On our own pages, a pixel measures the adverts we run once you allow it. Support chat always waits for a press, and so do the players until you say yes.
06 Every change is logged Who did what, and when. Apps included. The artist sees all of it.
Artists and their teams
Terms of service The agreement between you and us for holding an artist and the passport we issue you. Free, short on purpose, and plain about what we each owe and how it ends. Privacy for artists and their teams What we hold about you as a holder, why we are allowed to, how long it stays, and what you can do about any of it. How verification works What verified on an artist means, what it does not mean, how an artist earns it, and the grounds on which we take it away again. What you may not publish The limits on what goes on an artist, what we will not host at all, and what happens when a line is crossed. Reports, warnings and appeals.
Visitors
Privacy for visitors What happens when you read an artist's page without signing in. What our servers log, what counts your visit and how to turn it off, and what we never do. Cookie policy Three strictly necessary cookies, two that remember what brought you here, which you can turn off, the cookies that remember your choices, and what advertising and embedded players bring once you say yes.
Fans
Privacy for fans What happens when you ask TAP to tell you about a release, or to save one to your library. What we hold, what we do with it on release day, and how to end it.
People named by an artist
Privacy for contacts For people listed on somebody else's artist who never signed up. What we hold, who put it there, and how to correct it or come off entirely. Shared responsibility with artists How we and an artist divide responsibility when the artist publishes details about someone else, and which of us answers when that person asks.
Callers and developers
API conditions of use What you may do with register data you take from us, how long you may keep it, and the closed list of purposes every approved application is bound to. Developer agreement For registered applications. Purpose limits, what you may keep and for how long, how corrections reach you, and what a breach costs.
Everyone
Who receives register data Where the register gets its data, who we pass it to, which providers process it on our instruction, and who carries responsibility at each step.
