The notes between the notes.

linr is a group of automatic fetching systems. Apart from what your own player reports, everything shown here (genres, moods, biographies, credits, release dates, labels, similar artists, books, weather, place names and times) is collected by software from third party sources and combined without human review. It can be incomplete, out of date or wrong. linr gives no warranty about it and is not responsible for it or for anything you decide because of it. Weather is indicative only: do not rely on it for travel, safety or any decision that matters.

linr is an independent project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Spotify, Apple, TIDAL, Plex, Last.fm, MusicBrainz or any artist, label or rights holder. Names, trademarks, logos, artwork and recordings belong to their owners and appear only to identify what is playing. linr does not host, stream, record or sell music or video. Song titles, artist names and artwork come from the player on your own computer. When a player gives no cover, the helper on your computer first asks the player itself (Swinsian holds its own) and, if there is none, Apple’s public iTunes Search for the cover of the same record, sending only the artist and the album; linr does not see or store that request. A few lines of a song (its chorus) may be shown while it plays, fetched live from the community database LRCLIB; linr does not store them.

When you open linr, the team receives a short note with the approximate city and country your network reports, the kind of device, and your nickname if you are signed in. It helps a small project know who visits. linr itself stores nothing about that note and shares it with no one. Our host, Vercel, also counts page views without tracking cookies (which page, your country, the kind of device and browser, and where you came from) so we can see how many people use linr.

If you play music in a business, you remain responsible for the licences your venue needs, and personal streaming accounts are often not licensed for business use. linr does not provide or replace those licences.

Logos, nicknames, votes, chat and messages are yours, and you are responsible for them. When you upload a logo you confirm that you own it or have permission to use it. We may remove anything that infringes someone’s rights or breaks the line for others.

If you believe something on linr infringes your rights, write to copyright@getlinr.com and tell us what it is, where you saw it and who you are. We will review it promptly and remove it where appropriate.

We store your email, what your helper reports as playing, your profile, your votes, your messages and any logo you upload. We do not sell your data. Your location, if you allow it, is used in your browser to fetch the weather. Rounded to about ten kilometres, it is also sent to our own server to find the nearest airport weather report. We do not store it. To ask for your data to be deleted, write to privacy@getlinr.com.
