Privacy

StreamToWax helps you find vinyl listings for albums from the music and record-library services you connect. We try to collect only what the product needs to scan your library, show your results, and keep the service reliable.

What We Access

When you connect a music or record-library provider, StreamToWax uses the official authorization flow for that provider to read album data needed for a scan, such as artist, album title, release metadata, artwork, and provider identifiers.

StreamToWax requests read-only access where possible. We do not modify, save, delete, reorder, or write to your connected provider libraries.

What We Store

• Encrypted provider credentials, such as user or OAuth tokens, so the service can run scans for your session.
• A stable anonymous user identifier for your browser session.
• Your latest scan result, including album metadata and matched eBay listings.
• Shared lookup caches for MusicBrainz and eBay search results, keyed by album/search data rather than personal profile information. If you enter a ship-to ZIP for eBay shipping estimates, cache keys use a hashed location value.
• Programmatic album and artist pages generated from album/listing data when enough high-confidence listings exist.
• If you use Price Watch, your normalized email address, watch settings and status, authorization history, alert delivery records, and email preference history.

Price Watch And Email Choices

Price Watch email is operational email requested by you. It includes authorization messages, price alerts, and links to manage or stop your watches. Authorizing a Price Watch does not subscribe you to marketing email.

Marketing email is optional and covers equipment deals, industry trends, and new features. The marketing checkbox starts unchecked. We record the time, source, and version of an opt-in after the email address is authorized. Existing Price Watch users are not automatically opted in.

You can change the marketing preference on the Price Watch manage page without stopping operational Price Watch email. Marketing messages will also include an unsubscribe method. Stopping all Price Watch email is a separate action and does not change your marketing preference.

StreamToWax stores the controlling email preference in its application database. PostHog receives the watcher identifier, email address, and preference fields needed for email delivery and suppression. If we send marketing campaigns, they will use a message category separate from operational Price Watch email. We do not sell or rent the Price Watch email list.

Cookies

We use HTTP-only cookies to keep you signed in after connecting a provider and to recognize a browser that has authorized Price Watch management. We also use local browser storage for small interface preferences, such as albums you mark as owned and the ship-to ZIP you enter for shipping estimates.

We use PostHog for product analytics, including page views, button clicks, provider connection events, scan events, and related browser diagnostics. PostHog may use cookies or local storage to remember an anonymous analytics identifier, and product analytics settings may include session replay, heatmaps, and autocapture to help us diagnose broken flows.

Third Parties

StreamToWax uses connected music and record-library providers to read authorized library data, MusicBrainz to improve album matching, eBay to find current vinyl listings and shipping estimates, Amazon to provide optional album search or product links, PostHog for product analytics, diagnostics, and email delivery, Railway to host the app, Cloudflare for DNS and edge security, and Postgres for application storage. eBay and Amazon links may include affiliate tracking.

Affiliate Links

Some outbound eBay and Amazon links are affiliate links. If you buy through those links, StreamToWax may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. See the Affiliate Disclosure for more detail.

Disconnecting And Deletion

Use the Disconnect button in the app to delete your stored provider credentials and latest scan result from StreamToWax and clear your StreamToWax session cookie. Shared caches and generated public album/artist pages may remain because they are not tied to your personal account.

You can also contact us at [email protected] for help with access or deletion requests.

Retention

We retain Price Watch and email-preference records as needed to operate requested watches, honor opt-outs, prevent abuse, resolve delivery problems, and meet legal obligations. If you opt out, we may keep a minimal suppression and consent-history record so the address is not added again by mistake. You can request deletion using the contact details below, subject to records we must keep for security or legal reasons.

Security

Provider credentials are encrypted before storage. Access to production systems is limited to operating the service. No internet service can be guaranteed perfectly secure, but we keep the stored data narrow and avoid collecting payment details.

Changes

We may update this policy as StreamToWax changes. The latest version will always be posted here with the updated date above.
