Privacy Policy

Route 66 — Best of Americana is owned and operated by Mediterra Capital LLC ("Mediterra Capital", "we", "us"). This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and how we use it.

What we collect

• Account: email, hashed password (or OAuth identifier from Google / Apple / Spotify).
• Preferences: favorites, follows, block list, curator playlists you've saved.
• Playback context: resume position for videos, aggregate play counts.
• Third-party tokens: Spotify access + refresh tokens and account id if you connect Premium.
• Reports & moderation: reports you file and moderator actions.

Camera and microphone

Route 66 never accesses your camera or microphone in the background, and never uses camera or microphone data for analytics, advertising, or personalization. The native iOS app only requests these permissions the first time you tap a specific control that needs them, and only for the purpose described on that screen.

Camera is requested only when you tap:

• "Take a photo" on an artist claim — for example, to photograph a venue marquee, a tour poster, or a signed release so the moderation team can verify that you're the artist submitting the claim. The photo is attached to that single claim submission and is not reused anywhere else.
• "Attach a photo" on a broken-link or content report — for example, to send a screenshot of an incorrect show date or an inappropriate profile image so moderators can act on the report within 24 hours.

Microphone is requested only when you tap:

• "Record a voice note" on a content report — for example, a 10-second spoken description of what's wrong with a listing when typing on mobile is impractical. The recording is attached only to that report and delivered to the moderation queue.

If you deny either permission, the rest of the app continues to work; only the specific "take a photo" or "record a voice note" control is disabled. You can change these permissions any time in iOS Settings → Route 66 → Camera / Microphone.

How we use data

• To operate the service (sign-in, playback handoff, personalization).
• To moderate content and enforce our Terms.
• To communicate operational notices (auth emails, security alerts).

Sharing

We do not sell personal data. We share only with the providers required to run the service (hosting, auth, email delivery, and third-party playback partners) and only the minimum data needed.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account and personal data in-app from Account → Delete account. Deletion is immediate and irreversible; cascades remove favorites, follows, block list, and third-party connections. Moderator audit records are retained in de-identified form.
