3. Music, Rights and Release Information

Information and materials submitted for a release may need to be shared with third-party digital platforms, service providers, rights-management partners, payment providers or other parties involved in delivering the requested services. We only use such information for legitimate operational, contractual, rights-management, reporting or legal purposes.

Users are responsible for ensuring that the information and content they submit is accurate and that they have the necessary rights and permissions to submit and exploit that content through Record Tunes.

4. Document & Rights Verification

Record Tunes may require users to submit identity, KYC, authorization, ownership-supporting or other relevant documents when necessary for account verification, content submission, music distribution, rights verification, copyright-related claims, content conflicts, disputes, compliance or other legitimate platform requirements.

Documents and information submitted by a user may be retained as supporting records to verify the user's identity, authorization, ownership or rights relating to the content submitted through Record Tunes. If a copyright claim, content conflict, ownership dispute or similar matter arises, Record Tunes may review and use the relevant submitted information and documents to investigate the matter and support or substantiate the user's ownership, authorization or rights claim where applicable.

Submission or retention of such documents does not transfer ownership of the user's music, copyright, intellectual property or other rights to Record Tunes. The documents are retained for legitimate verification, record-keeping, claim and conflict handling, compliance and related operational purposes.

5. Banking & Payout Information

Record Tunes may collect banking and payout information such as the account holder's name, bank account number, bank name, IFSC code and other information necessary to process authorized payments.

Banking information is collected and used primarily for processing royalty payments, eligible payouts, withdrawals, bank transfers and other authorized financial transactions. It may also be retained where reasonably necessary for accounting, reconciliation, financial records, fraud prevention, dispute handling and applicable legal or compliance requirements.

Banking information is not collected for the purpose of obtaining ownership of music, content or intellectual property. It is used for payout and related financial administration purposes.

6. Sharing of Information

Record Tunes does not sell personal information as a commercial mailing list. Information may be shared when reasonably necessary with trusted employees, contractors, technology providers, payment or financial service providers, distribution and platform partners, professional advisers, or authorities where required by law.

We may also disclose information when necessary to protect the rights, property, security or integrity of Record Tunes, our users, partners or other persons.
