Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

When you create an account or complete a purchase on Smear Audio, we collect the information you provide directly: your email address, first name, last name, and purchase history. We do not store payment card details — payment processing is handled entirely by our payment provider.

How We Use Your Data

We use your information solely to operate the storefront: to create your account, deliver plugin serial numbers, manage license activations, and send transactional emails related to your orders. We do not use your data for advertising or sell it to any third party.

Data Sharing

Your data is not shared with third parties except as strictly required to deliver our service — specifically our payment processor for transaction handling and our hosting infrastructure. These parties are contractually bound to handle your data securely and in compliance with applicable law.

Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us. Transactional records may be retained for up to 7 years to comply with Finnish accounting regulations.

Your Rights

If you are in the European Union or EEA, you have the right to access, rectify, or erase your personal data, to restrict or object to processing, and to data portability. To exercise any of these rights, or if you have questions about this policy, contact us at [email protected].

Governing Law

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of Finland. Smear Audio is an independent engineering project based in Finland, and data processing is subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable.
