Who runs Pressings

Pressings is run by Metis Signal LTD. Contact: help@mypressings.com.

What we store

We store your email address, a hashed password, collection details, sleeve photos, listening notes, trivia and sharing settings. We can't see your password. If you connect Discogs, we store your personal token encrypted. We also keep search usage and value-refresh history to run the service.

The operator can technically access stored collection data and decrypt Discogs tokens, and only does so to run and support the service.

What is public

Your collection is private unless you turn on sharing. Only the records and notes you choose to share are public. Prices, values, purchase details, listening setup and your email are never included on share pages. You can hide individual records or switch sharing off in Settings.

Services we use

Lovable Cloud provides hosting, account sign-in, database and photo storage. These services process the account data and content needed to operate Pressings.

  • Discogs receives your search terms, barcodes, catalogue numbers or release IDs. Your optional token is sent to Discogs to identify your connection, including when testing it or retrying a lookup from your browser.
  • MusicBrainz and Wikipedia receive artist/title search terms or release/article IDs when you choose Dig deeper.
  • Brave Search receives your search terms when web search is available. Otherwise, opening a DuckDuckGo search sends your search terms to DuckDuckGo.

We do not send these search services your collection, purchase details, listening notes or email. Following an external link takes you to a service with its own privacy policy.

How we use your data

We use your data to provide your catalogue, keep your account secure, operate optional lookups and sharing, and support the service. We rely on performing our agreement with you for the service and legitimate interests for security and support. We do not sell your data, show ads or use tracking cookies beyond sign-in. Sign-in uses essential cookies or browser storage.

Download, deletion and retention

Your data is kept until you delete your account. In Settings → Your data, Download my data provides a JSON copy, including photo links valid for 24 hours. Delete my account removes your account, collection, stored photos and connection details from the active service. Copies in provider backups may remain until their normal backup retention period ends.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can ask to access, correct or erase your personal data, restrict or object to processing, and receive a portable copy where applicable. Contact help@mypressings.com to exercise these rights or ask a question. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
