Privacy

GOAT BAND stores the minimum needed to run the game: your email address (for sign-in), a username, your bands, generated songs, votes, and credit history. Guests are identified by an anonymous cookie so an in-progress band survives a refresh.

Song generation sends only non-identifying musical characteristics to our AI providers — never your personal data and never real artist names. Payments are processed by Stripe; we never see or store card numbers.

Product analytics are first-party event counts used to improve the game. To delete your account and data, contact the address in the site footer of the production deployment.

Advertising

GOAT BAND is free to play, supported in part by advertising. Where ads are shown, third-party ad partners (such as Google) may use cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure ads, which can involve sharing limited technical data (like your device/browser and IP-derived region) with those partners. This is the “sharing/sale” of data as some privacy laws define it. Buying a 12- or 99-song credit pack removes ads permanently for your account.

There is no option to decline advertising: ads keep the game free, and the only way to remove them is buying a 12- or 99-song pack. We never show ads to signed-in ad-free members. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we ask our ad partners for non-personalized ads only (no interest-based targeting). During beta, visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland are not shown any ads.

Ads never appear while you build a band — only on results, community, and song pages, and on the home page once you have finished a band. To space out full-screen ads we keep a small counter of finished runs and visits in your browser's local storage; it never leaves your device.
