What we store
- Account
your email address, held by our sign-in provider (WorkOS).
- Profile
everything you enter during onboarding and editing — roles, gear, skills, availability, city, and the audio samples you upload.
- Location
never your exact position. Your map pin is blurred by roughly a kilometre before it is saved; only the blurred point exists in our systems.
- Messages and files
what you send in chat, so your conversations work.
- Response-time samples
how long you take to reply, used only to compute the response-time badge on your own profile.
What we don't store
No exact coordinates. No payment details — payments happen directly between musicians, outside PatchBay. No advertising trackers and no cookies for analytics: we use Vercel Web Analytics, which is cookie-free and aggregates page views without identifying you.
Who processes data for us
Vercel (hosting and analytics), Convex (database and realtime), Cloudflare R2 (audio file storage), WorkOS (authentication). Each holds only what its job needs.
Deleting your account
Settings → Danger zone deletes your account in place. It erases your profile, your audio samples and the files behind them, the text and attachments of every message you sent, and every collaboration request you sent or received. Two things remain: empty message rows, so conversations still read in order for the people you talked to, and the founding-slot audit record, which keeps its number but no longer points at anyone.
Your rights
You can see almost everything we hold about you on your own profile and in your own chats. For a full export, or anything else — hello@patchbay.city, answered by a human.
