Privacy Policy

We may collect information that you provide directly, information collected automatically, and information received from third parties. This may include:

• name, artist name, label name, distributor name, company name, role, contact details, billing details, and account profile information;
• account credentials, dashboard preferences, user permissions, team-member access settings, and support communications;
• identity, business, tax, banking, payment, and verification information where required for payouts, compliance, fraud prevention, or account approval;
• catalog, release, metadata, ownership, royalty, splits, payment allocation, contractual, and rights-related information;
• communications, support requests, content review responses, dispute materials, takedown requests, and documentation you send to us;
• technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, referring URLs, log data, analytics data, and usage data;
• cookies, pixels, analytics identifiers, and similar tracking information; and
• information from digital service providers, payment processors, analytics providers, fraud-prevention vendors, rights databases, business partners, distributors, or other third parties.

We may use information for purposes such as:

• providing, operating, maintaining, securing, and improving our website, platform, dashboards, and services;
• creating, verifying, managing, supporting, and administering accounts;
• processing content submissions, catalog deliveries, metadata, takedowns, corrections, royalty reports, payment records, and service requests;
• communicating with you about your account, services, pricing, agreements, content, support issues, updates, and administrative matters;
• processing payments, royalties, invoices, taxes, reserves, chargebacks, refunds, and related financial records where applicable;
• monitoring platform performance, security, fraud, abuse, content quality, rights issues, and policy compliance;
• responding to legal requests, rights disputes, copyright notices, counter-notices, platform inquiries, and governmental requests;
• enforcing our terms, agreements, policies, and rights; and
• protecting Vesta, our users, rights holders, partners, payment systems, platforms, and the public.

Because Vesta may serve individual artists, labels, rights holders, distributors, and enterprise partners under different plans and commercial structures, the specific categories of information collected, purposes of processing, sharing arrangements, retention periods, and operational requirements may vary by service, account type, catalog, plan, agreement, territory, and business need.

Where applicable, privacy-related terms for a particular service, project, catalog, distributor relationship, white-label arrangement, payout program, or enterprise relationship may be addressed in a separate agreement, order form, statement of work, data-processing agreement, or other written arrangement. If there is a conflict, the separate written arrangement controls with respect to the specific service covered by that arrangement.

We may use cookies, analytics tools, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to support login sessions, platform functionality, security, usage analytics, preference management, and user experience. You may be able to control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling cookies may affect website or platform functionality.

We may share information:

• with service providers, contractors, advisors, vendors, hosting providers, analytics providers, identity-verification providers, payment processors, tax-service providers, and other partners who help operate our platform and business;
• with digital service providers, distributors, sub-distributors, collection partners, payment partners, rights databases, fraud-prevention tools, and platform partners as needed to provide services;
• with account owners, administrators, labels, distributors, team members, rights holders, or representatives associated with your account or catalog, depending on account permissions and service structure;
• when necessary to comply with law, regulation, legal process, governmental request, copyright notice, rights dispute, tax requirement, payment processor requirement, or platform requirement;
• to protect the rights, safety, property, security, or integrity of Vesta, our users, rights holders, platforms, partners, or others;
• in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, bankruptcy, or similar business transaction; and
• with your consent or at your direction.

We do not sell personal information unless otherwise disclosed or permitted under applicable law.

If you access our website or services from outside the country in which our systems or service providers are located, your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in other jurisdictions where privacy laws may differ from those in your location. By using the services, you acknowledge that such transfers may occur as part of providing a global music, distribution, royalty, and platform service.

We may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, provide services, maintain accounts, process payments, comply with legal, accounting, tax, audit, copyright, platform, and reporting obligations, resolve disputes, detect fraud, enforce agreements, and protect our rights. Retention periods may vary depending on the information type, service, account status, catalog, legal requirement, and business need.

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Our website or services may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, dashboards, payment systems, analytics tools, or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of those third parties. Your use of third-party services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

Our website and services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without appropriate consent. If we become aware that we have collected such information unintentionally, we may delete it. Users who submit content or create accounts must have legal capacity to enter into these Terms or must use the services through a parent, guardian, authorized representative, label, distributor, or other legally responsible party where permitted.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection to certain processing activities. To exercise any applicable rights, contact us using the details below. We may request information necessary to verify your identity, authority, account ownership, or relationship to the relevant catalog before responding.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted with an updated effective date or otherwise communicated where appropriate. Continued use of the website, platform, or services after changes become effective constitutes acknowledgment of the revised Privacy Policy.
