Acceptable Use Policy
Last updated: May 7, 2026
This Acceptable Use Policy is incorporated into the Terms of Service. It applies to all use of TrackID, including uploads, profiles, links, invitations, comments, notes, downloads, local cache, desktop workflows, public pages, and private sharing.
TrackID is built for music collaboration and controlled sharing. Do not use it to exploit creators, leak unreleased work, evade access controls, or build systems that copy or extract other people's content.
1. Rights and Music Content
You must not upload, store, share, stream, download, or otherwise use content unless you have the rights and permissions needed for that use.
You must not:
- upload or share leaked, stolen, unreleased, embargoed, confidential, or unauthorized music;
- upload recordings, compositions, lyrics, samples, stems, remixes, covers, artwork, names, likenesses, metadata, or credits without required rights;
- use TrackID to distribute bootlegs, leaks, pre-release files, private label assets, or collaborator files you were not authorized to share;
- mislabel content, remove attribution, falsify credits, or hide rightsholder information;
- use TrackID to pressure, blackmail, dox, extort, or threaten an artist, collaborator, label, publisher, manager, or listener.
2. Confidentiality and Access Controls
You must respect the access controls and visibility choices set by uploaders.
You must not:
- access, copy, download, record, forward, publish, or redistribute content outside the permissions granted to you;
- guess, enumerate, buy, sell, trade, scrape, or share invite links, share tokens, private URLs, session tokens, one-time codes, or download links;
- bypass private, link-only, invite-only, profile, download, or comment restrictions;
- use another person's account, device, session, email, OTP, token, or invite without permission;
- encourage others to evade TrackID controls or a creator's sharing choices.
3. Abuse, Harassment, and Impersonation
You must not use TrackID to harm, mislead, or intimidate people.
You must not:
- harass, bully, threaten, abuse, exploit, or target people or groups;
- impersonate another person, artist, label, company, moderator, or TrackID representative;
- use usernames, handles, profile fields, artwork, links, or metadata to create confusion, false affiliation, or false endorsement;
- post hateful, violent, sexually exploitative, defamatory, invasive, or illegal content;
- publish private personal information without authorization.
4. Spam, Manipulation, and Platform Misuse
You must not manipulate TrackID or disrupt other users' workflows.
You must not:
- send spam, mass invites, deceptive invites, misleading notifications, or unwanted commercial messages;
- create fake accounts, fake engagement, fake likes, fake relationships, fake plays, fake downloads, or coordinated manipulation;
- sell, rent, trade, or broker accounts, handles, invite links, access tokens, plays, downloads, comments, likes, or network relationships;
- use bots or automation to create accounts, upload content, follow users, scrape profiles, trigger emails, or manipulate analytics;
- overload, probe, attack, interfere with, or degrade TrackID systems.
5. Security, Malware, and Reverse Engineering
You must not compromise the Service, users, or connected systems.
You must not:
- upload malware, spyware, ransomware, malicious scripts, corrupted files, or harmful payloads;
- scan, probe, test, attack, or bypass authentication, authorization, storage, streaming, download, API, or rate-limit controls;
- reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, or tamper with TrackID apps, APIs, protocols, clients, or security features except where applicable law does not allow us to restrict that activity;
- interfere with logging, moderation, copyright, support, abuse, or safety systems;
- use TrackID to compromise DAWs, plugins, local devices, browsers, email accounts, or third-party services.
6. Scraping, Data Mining, and AI Training
Unless you have rightsholder authorization and explicit TrackID-approved opt-in, you must not:
- scrape, crawl, harvest, fingerprint, download at scale, or data-mine content, profiles, links, metadata, waveforms, comments, notes, or relationships;
- build datasets, indexes, embeddings, fingerprints, training sets, model inputs, benchmarks, or similarity databases from User Content;
- train, fine-tune, evaluate, prompt, or otherwise develop AI or machine learning systems using User Content;
- use automated systems to reconstruct, identify, match, classify, attribute, or commercially exploit tracks, voices, samples, stems, collaborators, or listening behavior.
This restriction applies even if content is public or accessible through a link, unless the rightsholder has clearly authorized the specific use and TrackID has approved it.
7. Legal Compliance
You must comply with all applicable laws and third-party obligations, including copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, data protection, consumer protection, export control, sanctions, anti-spam, and computer misuse laws.
You must not use TrackID where doing so would violate contracts, label or publisher restrictions, NDAs, embargoes, employment obligations, collaborator agreements, union rules, or court orders.
8. Enforcement
TrackID may investigate suspected violations and may remove content, disable links, restrict downloads, limit features, suspend accounts, terminate accounts, preserve records, report conduct, or take other lawful action. We may act without advance notice when needed to protect users, rightsholders, the public, or the Service.
