STUDIO2U

PRIVACY POLICY

Version: 1.0 Effective Date: September 3, 2026 Last Updated: September 3, 2026

Studio2U ("Studio2U," "Company," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy.

This Privacy Policy explains how Studio2U collects, uses, stores, shares, protects, and otherwise processes information when you access or use the Studio2U website, application, marketplace, booking services, communications features, payment functionality, and related services (collectively, the "Platform").

By using Studio2U, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy.

*Note on how this document works: unlike the Terms of Service and the Recording Consent Agreement, this Privacy Policy is a notice, not a contract you affirmatively agree to. At signup you acknowledge that you've read it; your contractual consent is given through the Terms of Service and, at booking time, the Recording Consent Agreement.*

1. WHAT STUDIO2U DOES

Studio2U operates a technology marketplace designed to connect artists, clients, recording engineers, producers, and other independent service providers.

Studio2U may facilitate:

• Account creation;
• User profiles;
• Discovery of service providers;
• Booking requests;
• Scheduling;
• Communications;
• Payments;
• Transaction records;
• Reviews;
• Customer support;
• Fraud prevention;
• Security;
• Platform administration; and
• Other marketplace functionality.

Studio2U is not necessarily the provider of the professional services arranged through the Platform.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Depending on how you use Studio2U, we may collect the following categories of information.

A. Account Information

This may include:

• Name;
• Email address;
• Phone number;
• Username;
• Password credentials or authentication information;
• Profile information;
• Account preferences;
• Profile photographs or other voluntarily submitted information.

B. Booking Information

When you use Studio2U to arrange a service, we may collect:

• Booking information;
• Service requested;
• Date and time;
• Location information necessary to facilitate the booking;
• Service provider information;
• Client information;
• Booking status;
• Cancellation information;
• Transaction information; and
• Communications associated with the booking.

C. Payment Information

Payments may be processed through third-party payment providers.

Studio2U may receive transaction-related information such as:

• Payment status;
• Transaction amount;
• Currency;
• Payment method type;
• Transaction identifiers;
• Refund information; and
• Other information necessary to reconcile transactions.

Studio2U does not intend to store users' full payment-card numbers when payment processing can be handled by a third-party payment processor.

Third-party payment processors may independently collect and process payment information under their own privacy policies and terms.

3. LOCATION INFORMATION

Studio2U may process location information when it is necessary to facilitate a booking or provide Platform functionality.

For example, a client may provide a session location so that an independent recording engineer can determine whether they can provide the requested service.

You should only provide location information that is reasonably necessary for the requested service.

You should not provide another person's private location information without appropriate authorization.

4. COMMUNICATIONS

Studio2U may process communications sent through the Platform in order to:

• Deliver messages;
• Facilitate bookings;
• Provide customer support;
• Prevent fraud and abuse;
• Investigate reported violations;
• Maintain Platform security;
• Resolve disputes; and
• Operate the Platform.

Users should understand that communications transmitted through a marketplace platform should not automatically be treated as confidential attorney-client, medical, financial, or similarly privileged communications.

5. AUDIO, RECORDINGS, AND USER CONTENT

Studio2U may provide a platform through which users arrange recording sessions.

Studio2U does not automatically record every recording session.

If users create recordings independently during a session, those recordings may be controlled by the users who create or possess them rather than Studio2U.

If a user uploads audio, video, photographs, documents, or other content to Studio2U, Studio2U may process that content as reasonably necessary to provide the requested Platform functionality.

Users are responsible for ensuring that they have the necessary rights, permissions, and consents to upload or share content.

Studio2U does not determine whether a user's recording of another person was legally authorized.

6. AUTOMATICALLY COLLECTED INFORMATION

When you access Studio2U, certain technical information may be collected automatically.

This may include:

• IP address;
• Browser type;
• Device type;
• Operating system;
• Approximate geographic information derived from technical data;
• Pages or screens viewed;
• Referring website;
• Interaction information;
• Date and time of access;
• Diagnostic information;
• Security events; and
• Other technical information reasonably necessary to operate and secure the Platform.

7. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

Studio2U may use cookies, local storage, pixels, analytics technologies, and similar technologies.

These technologies may be used to:

• Keep users signed in;
• Remember preferences;
• Maintain sessions;
• Understand Platform usage;
• Detect fraud;
• Improve performance;
• Measure traffic; and
• Maintain security.

Where required by applicable law, Studio2U will provide appropriate choices concerning non-essential cookies and similar technologies.

8. HOW WE USE INFORMATION

Studio2U may use information to:

Provide the Platform — including creating and maintaining accounts; facilitating bookings; connecting users; processing transactions; providing customer support; sending service communications; and operating Platform functionality.

Maintain Security — including detecting unauthorized access; preventing fraud; detecting abuse; protecting accounts; investigating security incidents; enforcing Platform rules; and protecting users and the Company.

9. WHEN WE SHARE INFORMATION

Studio2U does not sell users' personal information merely because users use the Platform.

We may share information in the following circumstances.

A. With Other Users

Information may be shared with another user when reasonably necessary to facilitate a requested interaction or booking. For example, booking participants may receive information necessary to arrange the session.

The payment processor may independently process information under its own terms and privacy practices.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, Studio2U may delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it subject to applicable legal and operational requirements.

15. CHILDREN

Studio2U is not intended for children who are below the minimum age permitted to use the Platform under applicable law.

Studio2U does not knowingly request unnecessary personal information from children.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child in circumstances where collection is prohibited, we may take steps to delete that information.

Parents or legal guardians who believe a child has provided information to Studio2U may contact us using the contact information provided below.

Studio2U does not determine whether a user's recording is lawful.

Users must obtain all legally required consent before recording another person.

Studio2U's Recording Consent, Authorization & User Responsibility Agreement forms part of the Platform's contractual framework.
