Privacy information.

What you share

Forms collect your name, email, enquiry topic and message. Applications also ask for your role, approach to creation and work links, with an optional location. Submission date and a reference are stored with the enquiry.

How it is used

ARBA uses these details to review your application or enquiry and communicate about it. Submitting a form does not subscribe you to a marketing newsletter. Your submitted work is not published on the site.

Marketplace previews

Marketplace submissions store seller contact details, listing information and the selected 30-second excerpts privately. Full recordings selected in the preview editor remain on your device. Only approved listing descriptions and excerpts are presented to buyers; seller email addresses are not published. Contact ARBA to request removal.

Uploaded work

Artist applications can include up to three audio, image or PDF files, each up to 10 MB. Files are stored privately in the website’s cloud storage, with filenames and file references connected to your application in its database. Uploads are for ARBA to review; submitting them does not publish them or transfer ownership of your work. Contact ARBA to request removal.

Submission declarations

For artist applications and marketplace submissions, we record your rights and anti-imitation confirmations, Human / AI / AI-assisted disclosure, contributor and permission details, supplied name and email, acceptance date and the exact declaration text/version. These records are used to review authority, investigate reports and address disputes; they are not presented to buyers as verified ownership. Marketplace creation categories are displayed publicly with approved listings.

Storage and access

Responses are stored with the website and are intended for ARBA’s review. The website host handles the access and technical operation of the site. No advertising analytics have been added to this website.

Buyer applications and evaluation access

We store your signed-in identity, contact email, buyer brief, accepted evaluation conditions and submission date. Your application is private to you and ARBA. Applying does not unlock recordings. Requests for a specific listing require separate review and artist permission; grants are time-limited, revocable and logged.

Listening reactions

When you react to a sound loop, we store the loop, your choice and the date with a random browser identifier. A cookie remembers that identifier so you can change your choice without adding another vote. It expires after one year. Clearing cookies or switching browsers starts a new identifier.

Email updates

The listening-page signup collects your email, selected update types and the date of your agreement. It connects your preferences to your browser’s random identifier so early previews can follow the loops you like, including likes added later. We are currently collecting requests; email delivery has not started. You are only requesting the update types you select.

To change your preferences, submit the signup again with the same email in the same browser. To withdraw your request or remove your details, contact ARBA and choose “Privacy request”.

Your choices

Share only material you are comfortable submitting. To ask about your information, request a correction or request removal, use the contact form and choose “Privacy request”.

Keep the first contact simple
