Privacy Policy

1. Introduction & Scope

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, when we share it, and your rights when you use the Producer Brain website and desktop application ("Service").

Producer Brain is a CRM and workflow tool designed for music producers to organize contacts, manage sample send-outs, and track opportunities.

Personal data refers to any information that identifies you or can reasonably be linked to you.

2. Definitions

Controller

The person or organization that determines how personal data is processed.

Processor

A third party that processes personal data on behalf of the Controller.

Personal Data

Information relating to an identified or identifiable person.

Processing

Any operation performed on personal data including collection, storage, use, sharing, or deletion.

3. Data Controller

4. Data We Collect

Account Data

• Email address
• Authentication identifiers
• Workspace identifiers

Contact & CRM Data

Data you choose to store in the CRM, such as:

• Contact names
• Email addresses
• Roles (producer, A&R, manager, etc.)
• Notes and tags

File Metadata

Producer Brain may store metadata about files such as:

• File name, file size, file path
• Associated contact or project

Actual files may remain in your connected cloud storage (for example Dropbox).

Email Sendout Data

When you use email sendouts we may store metadata including:

• Message IDs, send timestamps, delivery status, open events
• Recipient status, unsubscribe tokens, unsubscribe events, bounce or complaint status, and suppression records used to exclude recipients from future sendouts

Unsubscribe and suppression records may be retained as operational safety records so Producer Brain can honor opt-out, do-not-contact, bounced, and complaint signals across future sendouts.

Google Gmail Connection Data

When you connect Gmail, Producer Brain requests the Gmail Send permission https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.send plus the basic Google identity scopes openid and email. The Gmail permission is used only to send messages you initiate from the app. The identity scopes are used only to identify and display the connected sender.

• Producer Brain does not read, search, monitor, modify, or delete your Gmail inbox, drafts, labels, or existing messages.
• Producer Brain may store your connected Gmail address, OAuth scope, connection status, and encrypted refresh token so Gmail can stay connected and background sendouts can work. The desktop app never persists Google tokens in plaintext; if operating-system secure storage is unavailable, tokens remain in memory only for that app session.
• For background sendouts you explicitly start, the refresh token, email content, recipients, selected sample attachments, and sendout metadata are transmitted over HTTPS to Producer Brain's protected sendout service. The token is encrypted at rest and this data is processed only to create and send those emails.
• You can disconnect Gmail in the app. Disconnecting removes the stored Gmail token used by Producer Brain and requires reconnecting before further Gmail sendouts.

Technical Data

• Device type, operating system, app version
• Log data for debugging
• IP address

9. Google Workspace API Limited Use

Producer Brain uses Google Workspace APIs only to provide user-facing Gmail sendout functionality inside the app.

We do not sell Google user data, use it for advertising, transfer it to data brokers, or use it to train general artificial intelligence or machine learning models.

• HTTPS encryption

• Encrypted storage for Gmail refresh tokens used by connected Gmail features
• Infrastructure monitoring

12. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to provide the Service or comply with legal obligations. Gmail connection tokens are retained only while Gmail remains connected. Users may disconnect Gmail, request account and data deletion from the app or by emailing privacy@producerbrain.app, or request export of associated data through support.
