Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2 May 2026
Last updated: 2 May 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Old Skool Rave Tapes handles information when you use this website.

1) Who we are

Old Skool Rave Tapes is an online radio station and archive project dedicated to old skool rave, hardcore, jungle, early drum & bass, live sets, studio mixes and pirate radio shows.

2) Information you provide through the contact form

If you use the contact form, we collect the details you submit, including your name, email address, subject and message.

This information is used only to receive and respond to your enquiry. Typical enquiries may relate to events, tapes, flyers, metadata corrections, broken links, app support or general questions.

3) Contact form spam protection

The contact form uses server-side spam and abuse controls. These may process technical information such as IP address, request timing, message content patterns, link counts and repeated failed submission attempts.

These checks are used to protect the website, reduce spam and prevent abuse of the contact form.

4) Server logs and security

Like most websites, our server and security systems may record basic technical information when you visit, such as IP address, browser user agent, request URL, date and time, and security events.

This information is used for security, troubleshooting, abuse prevention and maintaining the website.

5) Embedded radio player and playlist history

This website includes embedded player and playlist history features from our radio server. When you use these features, your browser may connect to the radio server to load the player, stream audio or display recently played tracks.

6) Third-party links and services

This website links to third-party services including app stores, PayPal, Amazon Alexa, radio directories, social media pages, record labels and music-related websites.

If you click those links, you leave this website. Those third-party services are responsible for their own privacy practices.

7) Cookies and tracking

This static website does not use advertising cookies or third-party analytics cookies. Embedded or linked third-party services may use their own cookies or tracking technologies when you interact with them.

8) Email retention

Messages sent through the contact form may be retained in the receiving mailbox for as long as reasonably needed to deal with the enquiry, maintain records, prevent abuse or follow up on relevant matters.

9) Legal basis

Where applicable under UK data protection law, we process contact form messages and server/security logs on the basis of legitimate interests, including responding to enquiries, operating the website, protecting the service and preventing abuse.

10) Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion or restriction of personal information we hold about you.

11) App privacy policy

This website privacy policy covers the website only. The Old Skool Rave Tapes mobile app has its own privacy policy.
