Privacy

Last updated: 12 November 2026.

LivesetDB is responsible for the data on this page. Questions, or a request about your data: contact@livesetdb.com.

Without an account

You can listen and browse without an account. We then store nothing about you on our servers.

Your queue, the sets you played, where you stopped in a set, your settings and the genres you like stay in your own browser (local storage). We do not receive them. Clearing your browser data removes them.

Like every website, our servers see your IP address when they send you a page. We use it only to deliver the page and to stop abuse, and we do not store it in our database.

Measurements

We count page views, plays and loading speed as totals, without cookies or user IDs. Those totals decide what is popular on the site.

To count a listener once a day and keep bots out, our server turns your IP address into a code that lives only in its memory and is gone the next day. We never store the address or the code.

With an account

An account is free. You log in with a link we mail you, or with a passkey; there is no password. We store:

1. your email address, your nickname if you choose one, your language, and when you joined and last visited;

2. your login sessions and passkeys (the public key and the kind of device, such as iPhone or Mac);

3. the sets you save, the artists, events, labels and genres you follow, your lists, and your listening history (the last 500 sets, with where you stopped);

4. the mail we sent you.

We use this only to log you in, keep your library, show sets that match your taste and send you the mail below. We store no IP addresses, no age and no payment details, and we never sell or share your account data with advertisers.

The weekly mail

With an account you get a mail on Sunday with the new sets from what you follow and in your genres. It is on when you sign up and you can turn it off with one click: the link at the bottom of every weekly mail, or Settings › Your music. A week with nothing new sends no mail.

We send mail through Brevo (Sendinblue SAS, France), which processes your email address and the content of the mail for us, within the EU.

How long we keep it

Your account data stays until you delete your account. A login link works for 15 minutes; a session ends 90 days after your last visit. We delete sent mail after 30 days. When you delete your account, everything above is erased straight away; our backups are overwritten within a week.

Your choices and rights

In Settings › Account you can download all your data as a file, change your nickname and delete your account. You can also ask us by mail to see, correct or erase your data, or object to how we use it. If you think we handle your data wrongly, you can complain to the Dutch data protection authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).

Advertising

The site is paid for by advertising from Google AdSense. In the EU, the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, Google's consent message asks on your first visit whether ad partners may use cookies and personal data. Without your consent you only see ads that are not based on your browsing. Your listening history and account data never go to advertisers.

With consent, Google and its partners use cookies to show ads based on your earlier visits to this and other websites. How Google uses this data: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can turn off personalised ads from Google at adssettings.google.com. You can change your choice any time via "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page.

Embedded players

When you play a set, the player of Mixcloud, SoundCloud or YouTube loads. Those services have their own privacy policy.

Changes

When we change what we store or why, we update this page and the date at the top.
