Privacy

Music-link measurement

When you follow an Artefex music redirect, the site records a random event ID, time, song and selected service, approved campaign tags, whether a Meta click ID was present, the referring host when available, request method, a coarse device class, conservative bot or prefetch indicators, and the redirect response status.

The Artefex redirect-event table does not intentionally store your raw IP address, the Meta click ID itself, a full query string, a full referring URL, or your raw browser user-agent string. Artefex targets deletion of redirect records after 90 days through a private operating process.

Site analytics

Regular website pages on artefex.net use the Meta Pixel to measure page visits. Meta may receive browser and device information and may use cookies or similar technologies under its own privacy terms. The direct music-redirect endpoint does not render a page or load the Meta Pixel.

Messages and service providers

If you use the contact form, the name, email address, subject, and message you submit are processed by Formspree so Artefex can receive and answer your message. The site and music redirects are hosted on Microsoft Azure, whose infrastructure may process the network information needed to serve and secure requests.

Streaming and video links

Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, SoundCloud, and YouTube apply their own privacy practices after you choose a service. Artefex does not receive confirmation that an individual redirect became a play, stream, save, or follow.

Your choices

You can use browser privacy controls or content blockers for optional page analytics. You can also visit a streaming service directly instead of using an Artefex redirect. For privacy questions or deletion requests concerning information controlled by Artefex, email alex@artefex.net.
