LAST UPDATED: Mar 13, 2026

SKELLA CLUB ("we", "us", "our") operates the music-sharing platform at skella.club. We only collect what we need to make the site work and give you useful features. We're not in the business of harvesting unnecessary data.

What We Do NOT Collect

To put your mind at ease, here's what we explicitly do not do:

  • We don't sell your data — Never have, never will.
  • We don't track you across other websites — No cross-site tracking, no ad networks.
  • We don't run ads — No ad networks, no third-party advertisers, no ad-targeting data.
  • We don't collect your contacts — No address book, no phone numbers, no social graph scraping.
  • We don't use your content for AI training — Your music stays yours. We don't feed it to AI models.
  • We don't store payment card numbers — Stripe handles payments. We never see or store your card details.
  • We don't collect precise location — No GPS, no geolocation tracking.
  • We don't do browser fingerprinting — No device fingerprinting for tracking purposes.

  • Usage analytics: We track plays, downloads, pack views, and profile views to help creators understand how their content is used. This includes owner ID, viewer ID (when logged in), resource ID, and event type.
  • Payment data: Payment processing is handled by Stripe. We do not store card numbers. We store subscription status and Stripe customer ID only.

8. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and secure authentication. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
