Privacy and community guidelines

Everything on Open Music Atlas — listening, exploring the map, sharing places and downloading Atlas Cards — works without an account. You only sign in to like songs, save places to your own atlas, and comment.

When you sign in

You sign in with Google. From Google we receive your name, your email address and the address of your profile picture. We keep these, together with the songs you like, the places you save and the comments you write.

Next to your comments, other people see only your first name and the initial of your last name. Your email address is never shown publicly; the atlas's moderators can see it when reviewing reported comments.

Signing in sets cookies that keep you signed in, and nothing else. The site's visitor statistics don't use cookies. We don't show advertising, and we never sell or share your information.

Deleting your account

On Your atlas, Delete my account removes your account and everything you added: likes, saved places, comments and reports. It happens at once and can't be undone.

Community guidelines

Each place has a conversation about its song, its music and the place itself. To keep it good for everyone:

• Be kind. People from every country in the world read these pages.
• Keep to the music and the place. Disagreement is fine; attacks on people or peoples are not.
• Don't post anyone's personal details, including your own.
• No advertising or spam. One link per comment at most.

Anyone signed in can report a comment. A comment reported by three people is hidden until a moderator reviews it, and moderators may hide or remove comments that break these guidelines.
