This document describes how Love Error // Ghost Protocol handles submissions and personal information. It is written in plain language. Where legal terminology is required, it is included alongside ordinary words.
Love Error // Ghost Protocol is a concept album in progress. The project collects anonymous fragments from the public — voice notes, written messages, photographs, ambient audio — through public-facing submission forms. Material is reviewed offline and either transformed into the final record or deleted during review.
This project is not a service. It is not a platform. It is not a business. It is an artistic archive being assembled toward a single creative work.
The project is operated by an individual artist, based in the United States (Iowa). For purposes of data protection law, this individual is the data controller and sole data processor of the archive.
Only what you choose to submit through one of the five submission forms. Submission types include:
The forms do not require your name, email address, location, age (beyond an affirmation that you are 18+), IP address, or any identifying metadata. The project does not ask for them. They are not collected by the project even when accidentally provided in submission contents.
No analytics, tracking pixels, cookies, or third-party trackers are present on this website. There is no advertising. There are no user accounts.
1. You submit through one of the Tally-hosted intake forms. Submissions briefly reside on Tally's servers (EU-hosted, GDPR-compliant intake provider).
2. The project's operator drains submissions from Tally on a regular cadence — at minimum weekly — pulling all submissions to a closed offline drive.
3. The cloud copy on Tally is then deleted.
4. On the offline drive, each submission is reviewed. Submissions either:
No submissions are sold, shared with third parties for commercial purposes, used as AI training data, or retained in unaltered form on any cloud-connected system after the regular drain.
If you submit a voice recording or photograph, you should know: even when transformed for use on the album, a voice or face may remain recognizable to people who know you. The project takes care to alter submissions so they function as texture rather than identification, but no transformation guarantees full unrecognizability.
By submitting, you affirm you accept this risk.
No other third parties are involved in the project's intake, processing, or archive operations.
Once a submission has been transmitted through the form, it cannot be retrieved, recalled, edited, or removed by the submitter. This is intentional. The project's nature requires permanence in either direction — either through transformation into the album, or through deletion during review. There is no third option.
By submitting, you accept that this is final.
This project is restricted to individuals aged 18 and over. Submissions from minors are not solicited, not accepted, and will be deleted if identified during review.
The following content is out of scope and will be deleted on review without use:
By submitting, you affirm that your submission does not contain any of the above, and that you have the right to share any content you submit — including any other person's voice, image, or words it may contain.
Where applicable law grants individuals specific rights regarding their personal data (for example: the EU General Data Protection Regulation, the United Kingdom GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act, or any state privacy laws granting rights of access, correction, deletion, or portability), the project will respond to lawful requests made in writing through the contact address below.
Note that because the project collects no identifying information at intake, the practical ability to locate, modify, or delete a specific anonymous submission may be limited. The project will make reasonable efforts to honor lawful requests where the submission can be identified by the requestor with sufficient specificity.
This statutory contact is provided solely to honor legal obligations. The project does not offer a general-purpose takedown service; all submissions either appear on the final record in transformed form or are deleted during review.
This privacy policy and any disputes arising from the project's data practices are governed by the laws of the State of Iowa, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Submissions from outside the United States are welcomed but processed under United States law.
This policy may be updated. The "last updated" date at the top of the page will reflect any changes. Material changes will be reflected in the content of this document, not in separate notifications.
This document tries to be honest. If something here is unclear or appears inaccurate, the legal contact above is the place to raise it.
