Global EDM Authority Privacy Policy
Last Updated: February 20, 2026
1. Introduction to Our Data Ecosystem
Welcome to Global EDM Authority (globaledmauthority.com). We operate at the intersection of music media and business, serving as a news outlet, record label, music publisher, and neighboring rights administrator. Because we handle everything from unreleased “IDs” to sensitive royalty tax forms, your data privacy is foundational to our mission.
2. Information We Collect
To provide a comprehensive suite of music services, we collect data across several specific pillars:
Media & News: For festival announcements, press releases, and editorial inquiries, we collect contact information via press@globaledmauthority.com.
Artist Demos: When you submit to our record label via demos@globaledmauthority.com, we collect your artist alias, legal name, and private streaming links.
Publishing & Royalties: For rights administration, we collect IPI/IPN numbers, ISRC codes, and tax identification via publishing@globaledmauthority.com.
Business Inquiries: General correspondence and neighboring rights inquiries are handled via office@globaledmauthority.com, contact@globaledmauthority.com, or neighboring@globaledmauthority.com.
3. How We Protect Your Intellectual Property
We understand that in the EDM world, a leaked track can ruin a release cycle.
Secure Storage: All demos and unreleased masters are stored on encrypted servers with restricted internal access.
Metadata Integrity: We ensure your digital fingerprints (ISRCs) are handled with precision during the Music Publishing registration process to prevent “black box” royalty loss.
4. Third-Party Data Sharing (Music Industry Partners)
We do not sell your data. However, to fulfill our role as your Neighboring Rights and Publishing administrator, we share necessary data with:
Collection Societies: (e.g., SoundExchange, PPL, ASCAP/BMI) to ensure you are paid.
DSP Partners: (Spotify, Apple Music, Beatport) for distribution and chart reporting.
Sync Licensing Leads: Sharing track metadata with music supervisors for film, TV, and gaming placements.
5. Cookies and Global EDM Trends
We use cookies to analyze which sub-genres are trending on our site. This helps our news team cover the right festivals and our label sign the right sounds. You can opt out of non-essential cookies via your browser settings at any time.
6. Your Rights and Contact Information
Under GDPR and CCPA, you have the right to access, export, or delete your personal data. For all privacy-related inquiries, please contact:
7. How We Use Cookies & Tracking Technology
To provide a high-performance experience at globaledmauthority.com, we use cookies, pixels, and local storage. These technologies allow us to understand how you interact with our news, music, and services.
A. Essential & Functional Cookies
These are strictly necessary for the website to function. They allow you to log into secure areas, such as the Submit Demo portal or your Publishing Dashboard, and ensure our site remains secure against DDoS attacks.
B. Analytical & Performance Cookies
We use Google Analytics and other industry-standard tools to track:
Which EDM sub-genres (Techno, Tech House, etc.) are trending.
Geographic locations of our readers (vital for our Record Label to plan artist tours).
Average time spent on EDM News articles to improve our editorial quality.
C. Marketing & Retargeting Pixels
We may use Meta (Facebook/Instagram) and TikTok pixels. For example, if you read a news story about a specific festival, these pixels help us show you relevant music releases from our Record Label or updates about that event on social media.
D. Third-Party Music Players
Our site embeds players from SoundCloud, Spotify, and YouTube. These third-party services may set their own cookies to track your listening habits and provide “Play” functionality. We do not have direct control over these external cookies.
8. Managing Your Preferences
You are in control. Most web browsers allow you to:
View what cookies are on your device and delete them individually.
Block third-party cookies.
Block cookies from particular sites.
Block all cookies from being set.
Note: Disabling cookies may limit your ability to use certain features, such as our demo submission forms or artist login areas.
