Who else touches the service.

No advertising

Parlour does not sell advertising. Recordings are not given to advertisers, and there is no ad network on the site. A host who later posts a download on another platform is doing that on their own, under that platform's rules.

Payments

Cards are charged by Stripe. Parlour stores the purse balance and the fact of a payment. It does not store the full card number. The purse is not a bank account. The house keeps 15% of a paid seat and of a gift. That commission is the company's, not a tip on top that someone can opt out of at the table.

Mail and the recording itself

Password resets, show notes, and the reminder before a scheduled table are email sent by this site through its own mail server. We do not sell the address list.

The recording, the handle, the email, and the purse ledger are the personal information the site keeps in order to run. They are used to run the table, play the tape, take payment, and answer a report or a copyright notice.
