Privacy Policy

We collect information you provide directly to us when you:

• Place an order or purchase a beat licence
• Create an account on our store
• Fill in our contact form
• Subscribe to emails or promotions
• Contact us via email, WhatsApp, or Instagram

This information may include:

• Full name and email address
• Phone or WhatsApp number (if provided)
• Billing and payment details (processed securely via Shopify Payments / third-party processors)
• IP address, browser type, and device information
• Pages visited and time spent on our site

We use the information we collect to:

• Process and fulfil your orders and deliver beat files
• Send order confirmations, receipts, and licence documents
• Respond to enquiries and provide customer support

All beats sold on Mergingstars are digital products. Upon purchase, your name and email address are attached to the licence agreement for that beat. This information may be referenced in any licensing dispute or rights verification process.

By purchasing a beat, you agree that your name may appear on the licence document associated with that track. This document is not shared publicly.

We may share your information with trusted third parties only where necessary:

• Shopify — our e-commerce platform, which stores and processes order data
• Payment processors (e.g. Stripe, PayPal) — to handle transactions securely
• Email service providers — to send order confirmations and marketing emails
• Legal authorities — if required by law, court order, or to protect our rights

All third-party providers are required to handle your data securely and in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to improve your browsing experience, remember your cart, and understand how visitors use our site.

• Essential cookies — required for the store to function (cart, checkout, login)
• Analytics cookies — help us understand site traffic and behaviour (e.g. Google Analytics)
• Marketing cookies — used to show relevant ads (only if you consent)

You can disable cookies via your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies may affect your ability to complete a purchase.

We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy — including legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. Order records are typically retained for up to 7 years in line with standard business and tax requirements.

If you request deletion of your account or data, we will action this within 30 days, except where we are required by law to retain certain information.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
• Request deletion of your personal data
• Object to or restrict how we process your data
• Withdraw consent for marketing emails at any time
• Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at ayowatsgoodvee@gmail.com@gmail.com.

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. All transactions are processed over encrypted HTTPS connections. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Our site may contain links to third-party platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, or WhatsApp. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those platforms. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any personal data.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.

Continued use of our website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
