Privacy & rights

Listening room

What stays on your device

Favorites, queues, playlists, the current song, and low-data mode are saved in your browser. They are not attached to a public fan profile and are not sent to Darius.

Information you choose to share

What the site stores

The site stores information only when you submit it: mailing-list details and consent, chosen email preferences, fan messages, event responses, merchandise interest, membership interest, or a licensing inquiry or collaboration proposal. Private submissions stay in the artist control room unless a separate approval and permission process makes something public.

Release pages may record limited anonymous totals such as a page view, a link click, or a reminder request. Those events do not include an email address, name, or advertising profile.

Anonymous site measures

The site may also count public page views, catalog search terms and whether they found a result, mailing-list signup pages, song starts and completions, creative-era interest, broad device class, page load time, and responses to a message test that Darius explicitly activates. No visitor id, tracking cookie, or advertising profile is created, and names or email addresses are not copied into these analytics records.

A unique view means the first visit to a public page during one browser-tab session. The temporary list of pages stays in that tab, is not sent as an identifier, and disappears when the session ends.

These first-party totals exist only in the private artist control room. Darius can end a message test instantly and delete the anonymous analytics records from the same panel.

Your choices

Email control and deletion

Every mailing-list message is designed to include a private link for changing topics, changing frequency, pausing, or unsubscribing. The site keeps an auditable consent and unsubscribe record so a person who leaves is not silently added again.

To ask about a private submission or request deletion, use the private Talk to Boogie form and say which submission or email address the request concerns.

Listener-map and founding-listener submissions require separate public permission. A city is shown only after at least three approved people opt in there; the map never shows individual names or emails. Founding-listener recognition shows only the approved public name, optional broad location, and message.

Creative proposals

Collaboration contact stays private

A collaboration proposal stores the name, email, creative role, organization, project type, supplied HTTPS work link, idea, and consent. It does not promise a response or approval. Darius decides whether to research, decline, or continue a relationship.

Private relationship history, contact paths, credit questions, project briefs, rights questions, and outreach drafts are available only in the artist control room. A message can leave the site only after separate human review, approval, and scheduling through an approved provider.

Artist-controlled assistance

How AI is used

AI in this project is a private drafting assistant. It can suggest copy, organization, transcripts, and summaries for an authorized artist user. It cannot publish music, change credits, delete files, send email, make a rights claim, or post anywhere on its own.

Authorized artist users can deliberately select private site facts or responses as context for a draft. The public listening room does not automatically send listening activity or fan submissions to an AI model.

Private business records

Rights and money stay in the control room

Rights research, registration identifiers, split sheets, contracts, royalty statements, budgets, private contact paths, responsibility assignments, and stewardship plans are restricted to approved artist accounts. Linked proof remains a private document.

A status shown in the private office is an organizational record, not independent proof of ownership, registration, a valid signature, legal advice, collection, or payment.

Copyright and permission

Music, images, and reuse

Music, recordings, photographs, artwork, writing, names, and logos remain owned by Darius or their credited rights holders. Streaming, embedding an approved player, or downloading an explicitly offered fan file does not grant permission to sample, repost, synchronize, train a model, sell, or otherwise reuse the work.

Nothing is licensed automatically. For film, television, advertising, games, podcasts, or other commercial use, begin with the private Licensing & Sync inquiry. Clearance is confirmed only through a separate written agreement.

Storage and safety

Private archive boundaries

Source masters, drafts, physical-archive records, rights notes, fan identities, and control-room data are private. A recording appears publicly only after an authorized artist user explicitly publishes a reviewed web-delivery version.

A restricted collection link can reveal an artist-approved sequence to invited people, members, or family and friends. It never unlocks a private master: every playable song still needs its own explicitly published web version. Darius can replace the link to revoke the old access token.

This explanation will change when the site adds a new service or changes what it collects. It is a practical plain-language promise, not a substitute for a negotiated license or legal advice.
