3. How We Collect Personal Data

  • Directly from you, when you register, make a booking, complete a profile, or contact support.
  • Automatically, through cookies and similar technologies when you use our website or app.
  • From third parties, including payment processors (confirming successful transactions) and Event Managers (relaying event-related information).

4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Our website and app use cookies and similar tracking technologies to keep you logged in, remember preferences, understand how the Platform is used, and support marketing efforts. Cookies may be set by MyMuute directly or by third-party service providers acting on our behalf.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser or device settings; note that some Platform features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

On your first visit we ask whether you accept analytics. If you choose "Essential only", we do not run our page analytics. You can change this any time via "Cookie preferences" in the site footer. MyMuute does not use session-replay tools and never records keystrokes, form contents or passwords.

5. How We Use Your Personal Data

  • To create and manage your account and facilitate bookings between Clients and Musicians.
  • To process payments and payouts through our payment processor(s).
  • To coordinate event logistics through assigned Event Managers.
  • To produce and distribute marketing content, including photos and video captured at Events, as described in our Terms of Service.
  • To send marketing communications, such as newsletters, offers, and platform updates, where you have not opted out (see Section 7).
  • To maintain the safety, security, and integrity of the Platform, including reviewing conduct and resolving disputes.
  • To comply with legal, tax, and regulatory obligations.

6. Minors on the Platform

MyMuute knowingly onboards Musicians under the age of 18. Before a minor Musician is permitted to register or accept any Assignment or Marketplace Booking, MyMuute requires formal, documented consent from the minor's parent or legal guardian.

6.1 What Guardian Consent Covers

Guardian consent authorizes the minor's registration, participation in Events, and the collection and use of the minor's personal data (including performance footage) as described in this Policy and MyMuute's Terms of Service.

6.2 Guardian Rights

A parent or guardian may request access to, correction of, or deletion of their minor's personal data, or withdraw consent for future participation, by contacting our Data Protection Officer using the details in Section 13. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

6.3 Minimization

We limit the personal data collected from minor Musicians to what is reasonably necessary to facilitate their participation on the Platform.

7. Marketing Communications

With your consent, MyMuute may send you marketing emails and SMS messages about new features, promotions, and platform updates. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link in our emails, replying STOP to SMS messages, or contacting our Data Protection Officer. Opting out of marketing does not affect transactional messages necessary for your bookings or account, such as booking confirmations and payment notices.

8. Sharing & Disclosure of Personal Data

  • Payment processors, to process transactions and payouts securely.
  • Event Managers and relevant internal personnel, to coordinate bookings and logistics.
  • Cloud hosting and infrastructure providers, who store data on our behalf under contractual confidentiality and security obligations.
  • Professional advisers, regulators, and law enforcement, where required by law or to protect MyMuute's legal rights.
  • A successor entity, in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of some or all of MyMuute's assets.

MyMuute does not sell personal data to third parties for their own independent marketing purposes.

9. International Data Storage & Transfers

MyMuute stores personal data using a hybrid infrastructure that includes both Nigeria-based servers and international cloud hosting providers. Where personal data is transferred outside Nigeria, MyMuute takes reasonable steps to ensure it remains protected in a manner consistent with the NDPA, including through contractual safeguards with our hosting and service providers. These providers include our cloud hosting and database provider, our email delivery provider, our payment processor, our web font provider (which receives your IP address when fonts load), and video hosts (YouTube/Vimeo) when you play a performance video. By using the Platform you are informed of these transfers under Sections 41–43 of the NDPA.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal data for as long as your account remains active, and for a reasonable period afterward, typically up to five (5) years following account closure or the completion of a booking, to meet contractual, accounting, tax, and legal obligations, and to resolve any disputes.

Marketing data is retained until you opt out or withdraw consent. Media captured at Events may be retained and used for marketing purposes for as long as reasonably necessary for that purpose, subject to any exclusivity or restriction arrangements agreed under our Terms of Service. You may request earlier deletion of specific data, subject to Section 12.

11. Data Security

MyMuute implements reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration, including access controls, encryption of sensitive data in transit, and restricted internal access on a need-to-know basis. No system is completely secure, and MyMuute cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data MyMuute holds about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
  • Request deletion of your personal data, subject to our legal and contractual retention obligations.
  • Object to or request restriction of certain processing, including direct marketing.
  • Request a copy of your personal data in a portable format, where technically feasible.
  • Withdraw consent previously given, where processing is based on consent.
  • Lodge a complaint with the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) if you believe your data protection rights have been violated.

To exercise any of these rights, contact our Data Protection Officer using the details in Section 13. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

13. Data Protection Officer & Contact

For questions about this Privacy Policy or to exercise your data protection rights, contact our Data Protection Officer (DPO) at legal@mymuute.app.

14. Third-Party Links

Our website or app may contain links to third-party websites or services. MyMuute is not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal data.

15. Changes to This Policy

MyMuute may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, including to reflect changes in our operations, such as the introduction of a marketplace booking model or the finalization of our payment processor arrangements. Material changes will be communicated to registered users, and continued use of the Platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.

This Policy should be read alongside our Client Terms of Service and Musician Terms of Service.
