Privacy notice
Your data, in plain English.
Last updated: August 13, 2026
Who this notice covers
This notice explains how Skitza handles personal information when Producers, Artists, public visitors, and people who contact us use skitza.app. Skitza is operated by Gili Asraf as an Israeli עוסק מורשה (registration number 315016071) from Ein Gedi 7, Hadera, Israel.
Skitza is a web service for independent music Producers and the Artists they work with. Gili Asraf is responsible for the personal information handled through Skitza.
Questions or privacy requests can be sent to privacy@skitza.app. We aim to send an initial response within 7 business days.
Age limit
Skitza's Israel-only beta is for people aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly offer accounts to people under 18. If you believe someone under 18 has given us personal information, email privacy@skitza.app.
Information we collect
- Account and profile data: your name, email address, authentication identifier, account role, profile image, studio name and URL, timezone, currency, brand settings, preferences, and sign-in status.
- Client and studio data: contact details, private Producer notes, tags, projects, products, offers, accepted terms, sessions, comments, files, artwork, credits, notification choices, and availability settings.
- External-payment records: a Producer's payment instructions, the price and payment plan users agree to, payment status, and proof of a payment made outside Skitza. Skitza does not collect payment-card details or move money between Producers and Artists.
- Communications: messages and transactional email details needed for invitations, bookings, reminders, comments, payment updates, and support.
- Technical and usage data: IP address, browser and device data, pages and features used, request and error details, security events, and similar operational data. Depending on our production configuration, this can include analytics and session-replay data described below.
How we use information
- Authenticate users and keep Producer and Artist workspaces separate.
- Operate profiles, projects, bookings, agreements, external-payment records, audio review, controlled downloads, notifications, and support.
- Protect accounts and files, prevent abuse, troubleshoot, and improve Skitza.
- Keep an accurate history of accepted terms, work, sessions, payment records, and changes where that history is part of the service users asked us to provide.
Google Calendar data
Connecting Google Calendar is optional and available only to a Producer. We request access only after the Producer chooses Connect Google Calendar.
What we access
- The connected Google account identifier and email address.
- The calendar list, including calendar names, timezones, access roles, and which calendar is primary, so the Producer can choose calendars inside Skitza.
- Busy and free time from the calendars the Producer selects, so Skitza can avoid offering times that are already busy.
- Google's event permission covers the calendars you can access. Skitza uses it to create, update, read, delete, watch, and reconcile Skitza session events in the destination calendar the Producer chooses.
- Those session events can include the session title and time, Producer and Artist names and email addresses, RSVP status, an Artist-safe Skitza link, and private linkage metadata. When updating an existing Skitza-linked event, Skitza may read and preserve the email address, display name, and RSVP status of other attendees already on that event. This reading is temporary; Skitza does not save those other attendees in its database.
What we store
We store the connected Google account identifier and email, granted permissions, connection and sync status, encrypted access and refresh tokens, calendar names and timezones, access roles, selected-calendar settings, encrypted calendar identifiers, and limited linked-event and sync records. Google access and refresh tokens are encrypted before they are stored.
For unrelated Google events, Skitza uses busy/free intervals and does not store or display their title, attendees, description, location, Google Meet details, or reminders. Artists can see which Skitza booking times are available; they do not see the Producer's unrelated Google event details.
How Google data is used and shared
We use Google data only to provide the visible Calendar features described above, maintain and secure the integration, provide support, and comply with law. We do not sell Google user data, use it for advertising or credit decisions, or use it to train a generalized AI model. We disclose it only to service providers acting for Skitza where needed to host, secure, operate, or troubleshoot the integration; when the user directs or consents to the disclosure; or when security or law requires it.
When Skitza delivers a confirmed session through the Producer's connected Google Calendar, Skitza asks Google to send calendar invitations and updates to the Producer and Artist attendees on the Producer's behalf.
People at Skitza or its service providers do not read Google user data unless you specifically ask for support and agree to that access, the access is needed to investigate a security or abuse incident, the law requires it, or the data has been aggregated and de-identified for internal operations.
Skitza's use of information received from Google Workspace APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
Disconnecting or deleting Google data
- Open Dashboard → Calendar, open the Google Calendar control, and choose Disconnect.
- Skitza then tries to stop Calendar notifications and revoke Google authorization, permanently clears the stored access and refresh tokens, and removes the saved calendar selections. New changes stop syncing.
- Existing Google events remain in Google Calendar and can be removed there. A retained technical record can include the Google account identifier and email, encrypted destination-calendar identifiers, Google event or watch identifiers, permissions, sync status, timestamps, safe error codes, and linked booking history. It does not include the cleared tokens or active calendar selections.
- To request deletion of the remaining Google-derived account or operational data, email privacy@skitza.app from the account email. We may need to verify your identity. You can also remove Skitza from your Google Account's third-party connections, but that alone does not delete data already stored by Skitza.
Analytics, diagnostics, and browser storage
When configured, PostHog helps us understand page and feature use. For signed-in users, it can receive the Clerk user ID, email address, first name, pageviews, and product events. We configure it to respect the browser's Do Not Track setting.
When configured, Sentry receives error, performance, request, device, and diagnostic information. That information may include an IP address or account context. Sentry session replay is currently disabled. Public song-listening and invitation routes have additional collection protections.
Skitza and Clerk use cookies and similar browser storage for sign-in, security, language and studio preferences, invitation flow, uploads, playback, and offline or recent-audio behavior. Clearing site data in your browser removes locally stored Skitza data and may sign you out.
When we share information
We use service providers to run Skitza. They process information for the function listed here and under their own service terms and privacy commitments:
- Clerk — authentication, account management, and invitations.
- Neon — database hosting.
- Vercel — website hosting and server runtime.
- Cloudflare R2 — audio, artwork, documents, and payment-proof storage.
- Resend — transactional email delivery.
- Namecheap — domain-name service and legal and privacy email forwarding.
- Google — the optional Google Calendar connection and attendee updates, and Gmail for receiving and storing forwarded legal and privacy requests.
- PostHog — product analytics, when configured.
- Sentry — error, performance, and diagnostic information, when configured.
We may also disclose information when a user directs us to, to protect users or the service, in response to a valid legal requirement, or as part of a business transfer subject to applicable notice and consent requirements. We do not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising.
Messages sent to legal@skitza.app or privacy@skitza.app pass through Namecheap email forwarding and are received in Google Gmail. The information processed can include the sender's name and email address, recipients, subject, message, attachments, and delivery details.
Retention and deletion
We keep information for as long as needed to provide and secure Skitza, maintain the records users asked us to keep, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. Account, project, content, booking, and operational records can remain while an account or relationship is active. For records controlled by Skitza, the following limits apply:
- Google access and refresh tokens stored by Skitza and saved calendar selections are removed immediately when the Producer disconnects Google Calendar. Limited account, event, watch, and sync identifiers can remain when needed for safe reconnection, shared booking history, security, or legal obligations.
- After we verify an account-closure request, we delete or de-identify non-shared account, profile, and audio data within 30 days, unless it must be kept for a legal or security reason.
- Backups may retain deleted information for up to 90 days.
- Security and diagnostic logs may be kept for up to 12 months.
- Accepted terms, external-payment records and proofs, sessions, and related audit history may be kept for up to 7 years when needed to preserve a shared record, resolve a dispute, establish or defend a legal claim, prevent fraud, or meet a legal record-keeping obligation.
- Legal, privacy, and support messages are kept only as long as needed to answer the request, keep a relevant business or legal record, resolve a dispute, or meet a legal obligation.
When retention is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify the information where practical. Service providers may retain their own limited logs and backups under their commitments and applicable law.
Your choices and requests
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export, object to, restrict, or delete personal information. You can change many profile, notification, file, public-link, and Calendar settings inside Skitza. For another request, email privacy@skitza.app. We may verify your identity and may keep information where the law or the integrity of another user's shared record requires it.
Security and changes
We use access controls, HTTPS, encrypted Google tokens, hashed public-link tokens, and private or short-lived file-delivery methods. No online service can promise perfect security.
We may update this notice when the service or our legal obligations change. We will update the date above and provide additional notice when a material change requires it. We will ask for consent before using previously collected Google data for a new purpose when Google's policies or applicable law require it.
