Privacy Policy
Effective 16 July 2026
SceneSat ("we") runs an internet radio station and show archive for the demoscene community, available at scenesat.com and through the SceneSat apps for iPhone, Apple TV and other platforms. This policy describes what personal data we handle, why, and what your choices are. The short version: we store what's needed to run a radio station with a community — an optional account, your chat messages, and your listening positions — and nothing else. We don't track you, we don't profile you, we don't run ads, and we never sell or share your data with anyone.
What we collect, and why
Account (optional)
You can listen, browse the archive and read the chat without an account. If you sign in (via our own account system at id.scenesat.com), we store your username, display name, e-mail address and an internal account identifier. We use these to recognize you across devices and to attribute your chat messages. We don't use them for anything else.
Chat messages
Messages you post in the SceneSat chat are public. They're relayed live between the platforms our community uses (the website, the apps, IRC and Discord), and messages posted during live shows become part of that show's public record — they can be replayed alongside the show's recording in the archive. Post accordingly: treat the chat like the public stage it is.
Listening data
If you're signed in, we store your playback positions for archived shows (so you can resume on another device) and which shows you've listened to. Without an account, the apps send an anonymous "this show was listened to" signal that isn't linked to you — it just helps us know what the community enjoys.
Technical data
Like every service on the internet, our servers keep standard technical logs (IP address, requested URL, app or browser version) for operating, securing and debugging the service. These are routinely rotated and are not used to build profiles.
What we don't do
- No advertising, no ad networks, no marketing profiles.
- No third-party analytics or tracking SDKs in the apps or on the site.
- No selling, renting or sharing of personal data with third parties. The only data that leaves SceneSat is what you post publicly in the chat, which is bridged to the community's IRC and Discord channels as described above.
- No data collection from children — SceneSat is not directed at children.
Where your data lives, and for how long
Our services are hosted on our own infrastructure in the European Union. Account data and listening positions are kept for as long as your account exists. Chat messages are part of the public community record and of the show archives, and remain so; if a message needs to be removed, contact us. Server logs are kept only briefly.
Your rights
You can ask us at any time to show you the personal data we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete your account and the data linked to it (EU residents: these are your GDPR rights, and SceneSat is the data controller). Deleting your account removes your profile and listening data; chat messages may remain in the public record but are unlinked from your account on request.
Contact
Questions, requests, or anything unclear: e-mail us at info@scenesat.com.
Changes
If this policy changes, the current version will always be at this address, with the effective date above updated.
