These aren't marketing bullet points — they're binding commitments. If we ever break them, hold us accountable.
“We believe platforms should serve their communities, not extract from them. Every ethical commitment on this page is a promise to the hosts, artists, and listeners who trust us with their time, music, and money.”
— The Tune Tavern Team
Six promises we make to every person on our platform.
Hosts keep 85% of skip revenue. We will never reduce this split without community consent. Our business model is aligned with creator success — we only grow when our community grows.
No black-box algorithms, no hidden metrics, no mystery curation. If a system affects who gets heard or how much someone earns, it's documented and visible.
Your data belongs to you. We collect the minimum necessary to run the platform, we never sell it, and we strip metadata from audio uploads to protect artist privacy.
Tune Tavern is for every genre, every language, every background. We actively work to ensure our platform doesn't privilege certain styles, regions, or demographics over others.
Vote manipulation, fake accounts, review fraud, and bot activity are strictly prohibited. We invest in detection and enforcement because fair discovery depends on honest participation.
You own your music. Our license is limited to hosting and streaming within the platform. We will never claim ownership, sub-license to third parties, or use your music for training AI models.
A safe community is a thriving community.
We moderate chat, profiles, and uploaded content to maintain a safe environment. Our policies prohibit hate speech, harassment, threats, explicit content, and copyright infringement.
Every moderation action can be appealed. We commit to reviewing appeals within 48 hours and providing a clear explanation of our decision. Nobody gets silenced without due process.
If you believe we're falling short of any commitment on this page, we want to hear about it. Email us directly and a real person will respond within 48 hours.
