There are no attorneys up here in space, so I don't have a long, complicated terms of service page. If you know of any space attorneys, please send me their name and email.
If you use this website, you may be entering into some kind of relationship with me (Bredon Jones). It might be creative, it might turn into a business relationship, it might just be purely social. We’ll figure it out together.
I retain full rights to any lyrics or music that I share on this site, unless you buy the exclusive rights from me. But if you want to use my lyrics or music in your music or other art (without buying rights), just let me know! And preferably make me a part of the process of producing your track.
If you share music or lyrics on this site that are contributing to my musical themes and ideas, then I will have some rights to what you have shared. Tracks on here are usually going to be started by me. But if you contribute and I actually use your contribution, you will have rights to the music of some kind. You may even have rights if I choose not to use your contribution in a finished track. We’ll work that out on a case-by-case basis, but generally from a songwriting credit perspective, we’ll do even splits. There may be cases when I want to take a larger split, but I really lean towards even splits in almost all cases.
If you share completely original music or lyrics that you want to work on with me, then I will only attain rights of any kind once we have talked about what makes sense.
Bottom line: I’m pretty easy going and we’ll figure it out together. It’s best not to assume anything and just talk to me about how you want things to work. You can email me about anything related to these terms of service at terms@bredoninspace.com and we can have a deep and exciting conversation about using the text of this page in a song. It will be a banger. We will get paid.
Well, here you are: an intrepid website surfer checking out my privacy policy. I applaud you for your thorough nature. Don't expect much legalese here. I'll update this after the first time I get sued.
I’m not going to do anything shady with your data except try to make music with it. Though, I've been really inspired by Kae Tempest lately and I may channel them while I read aloud everyone's email addresses over a cool, synthy backing track.
I do use some tools that are provided by Google, Facebook, and possibly other big, scary internet companies. I use them because they make my life and yours a bit easier. Basically, I use their services to allow you to log in to this site using your existing account logins. If you are worried about them stealing your soul through my website and then advertising bidets to you on Instagram, it’s probably a good idea if you just close this website right now. But I'll tell you that I do not use other tracking or analytics from Google, Facebook or otherwise. I only use their social login features.
(I personally don’t give a shit if they know that I like to have, for example, a clean butt, so I am pretty loose with my “personal data” like toilet paper preferences and whatnot. But I understand that some people have different ideas about that and I don't judge.)
As for data security in general, I’m pretty stingy with things like your passwords and I use all the appropriate and up-to-date security measures to ensure no one hacks the site and steals the raw text of the lyrics you shared with me. Void knows what they would do with them. It would be a miracle if anyone started caring about lyrics written by non-Billie Eilish people like you and me. But anything's possible.
I also don’t share your email with anyone but myself. My nefarious purposes include sending you emails about things in which you have shown an interest on this website. Sometimes I might try to sell you a hat or something like that so I can make a living. But you’ll be able to turn off and unsubscribe from anything you don’t like.
Anyway, just email me at privacy@bredoninspace.com if you have any questions about anything related to my terribly amateur privacy policy. I’m easy to talk to.
Coming soon: I'm the only one up here right now and this place is just perfect for me. I will add more about this as soon as I take on some new Explorers.
