Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 15, 2026

1. Information We Collect

When you create an account or use our services we may collect:

  • Account information — name, email address, and password (stored using BCrypt hashing).
  • Payment information — processed securely through Authorize.net. We store only the last four digits of your card number and the transaction reference. We never store full card numbers.
  • Usage data — analyses run, reports purchased, and pages visited to improve the service.
  • Communications — emails or messages you send us.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • Provide and improve our analysis reports, consulting services, and platform features.
  • Process payments and send transaction confirmations.
  • Respond to your inquiries and support requests.
  • Send service-related notices (e.g., email verification, password resets).

3. Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share data only with service providers necessary to operate the platform (payment processing via Authorize.net, email delivery) and when required by law.

4. Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption, BCrypt password hashing, CSRF protection, and Content Security Policy headers. Payment processing is handled entirely by Authorize.net's PCI-compliant infrastructure.

5. Cookies

We use session cookies to keep you logged in and maintain your preferences. We do not use third-party tracking or advertising cookies.

6. Third-Party Services

Our analysis tools query public APIs (YouTube, Last.fm, MusicBrainz, Ticketmaster) to gather artist metrics. These queries use artist names you provide and do not transmit your personal information to those services.

7. Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time by emailing info@advise.events. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or a notice on the site. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance.
