Privacy notice
Last updated Thu, Oct 15, 2026
Draft: this notice is still being reviewed, and the details of where information is stored will be confirmed before the app goes online.
Who we are
This app is run by String Bone Presents!, a registered company in Ontario, Canada. It's used by band managers ("users") to book and organize gigs and rehearsals for their bands: String Bone Presents!'s own bands, and, during the Beta, a small number of invited users with their own bands.
Each user is responsible for the information about their own bands, musicians and contacts. String Bone Presents! keeps it safe and runs the app for them, and is responsible for users' own account information. Each organization's information is kept separate: no user can see another's. Questions or requests: info@stringbone.ca.
What we keep
- Musicians: your name, email address, phone number and instruments; which bands you play in; dates you've said you can't play; gig offers made to you (role and pay) and your answers; rehearsal invitations and your answers; any notes you add; and when you last signed in. The band manager may also keep notes about your work with the band.
- Venue, festival and booking contacts: business contact details (name, role, organization, email, phone) and notes about bookings.
- Users (band managers): name, email address, organization name, the two-step sign-in set-up, and any problem reports they send.
Why
Only to book gigs and rehearsals: sending offers, invitations, reminders and confirmations, putting lineups together, and keeping a record of past bookings. We don't sell personal information, use it for advertising, or share it with anyone except as below.
Who can see it
- Your band manager (the user who added you) can see everything about their own bands. Other users can't, and String Bone Presents! doesn't look inside users' organizations except to fix a problem a user has asked about; it sees only each organization's name, who runs it, and usage counts (how many bands, musicians and gigs).
- Other players see your name, role and phone number only on gigs you've both accepted. Players never see fees, the manager's notes, other players' offers, or bookings for bands they don't play in.
- Companies that run the app for us (hosting, the database, and sending email) handle the information only on our behalf and under our instructions.
Where it's kept
The app is being set up to keep information in Canada (Montreal), with emails sent through a Canadian email service. This will be confirmed, and this section updated, before the app goes online.
Cookies
One cookie keeps you signed in (for up to 30 days). There are no advertising or tracking cookies.
How long we keep it
While you're involved with the bands. If you leave a band, your record is kept so past gigs stay accurate, but your access ends. If you ask us to, we'll remove your personal details: your name is replaced with "Former player", your email, phone and notes are deleted, and your sign-in is deleted unless you still play in another band. Backup copies are kept for a limited time and then deleted.
Your rights
- See and download your information: sign in and open Your data, or ask us for anything else we hold about you (such as the manager's notes).
- Correct it: ask us, and we'll fix it.
- Remove it: ask us to remove your personal details, as described above.
- Stop being contacted: ask us, and we'll stop sending you offers and invitations.
We'll answer within 30 days. If you're not satisfied, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
Keeping it safe
Sign-in is by invitation only. The band manager also needs a code from an authenticator app. The database itself enforces who can see what, every change is logged, and connections are encrypted once the app is online.
Changes
If we change this notice, we'll update the date above and let musicians know about any important change.
