PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated October 5, 2026

The Music Creative @ FIU (“TMC,” “we”) is a student-led music organization at Florida International University. This page explains what we collect through themusiccreative.org and what we do with it. Short version: we only collect what you type into our forms, we use it to run the club, and we don't sell it.

WHAT WE COLLECT

Only what you choose to submit:

Club sign-up (/join): name, FIU email, FIU student ID, phone number, major, year, and your answers about your creative background and interests.
E-Board applications (/join-team): name, email, phone (optional), the role you're interested in, your answers, and your resume file.
DJ sign-ups (/dj-booking): name, email, phone (optional), links to your work, and your experience.
Event RSVPs: name, email, guest count, and any notes you add.
Track submissions: track title, artist name, Instagram handle, streaming links, and the audio file you upload.
Feedback (/feedback): your message, and your name only if you choose to add it.
Weekly updates: your email address.

We also see anonymous, aggregate visit stats (page views, rough location, device type) through Vercel Web Analytics, which does not use cookies and does not identify you personally.

HOW WE USE IT

To contact you about the club, events, and opportunities you signed up for.
To review E-Board applications, DJ sign-ups, and track submissions.
To plan events (like headcounts from RSVPs).
To send the weekly update email, if you subscribed.
To improve the club and the site based on feedback.

Only TMC E-Board members with admin access can see form submissions. We don't sell or rent your information, and we don't use it for advertising.

WHERE IT'S STORED

We use a few services to run the site:

Supabase — stores form submissions and uploaded files.
Resend — manages the weekly email list and sends the emails.
Vercel — hosts the site and provides cookieless analytics.

Some pages include content from other services — event checkout from Posh, music players from Spotify or Apple Music, and links to Instagram. Those services have their own privacy policies and may set their own cookies when you interact with them.

COOKIES

The public site doesn't use advertising or tracking cookies. The only cookies we set are the ones needed to keep E-Board members signed in to the private E-Board area.

YOUR CHOICES

You can unsubscribe from the weekly email using the link in any email.
You can ask us to update or delete anything you've submitted — send a request through the feedback page (leave your name and email so we can find it) or DM @themusiccreativefiu.

CHANGES

If we change what we collect or how we use it, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
