What Deck Spotter keeps, and what you can do about it
Deck Spotter is run by Scribey, a solo DJ project based in London, United Kingdom. Scribey is the data controller for everything described here. Last updated 16 September 2026.
What is stored
- Your email address, so you can sign in and so the account is yours.
- The photos you take or choose, kept privately against your account.
- The track details read from each photo: artist, title, mix, BPM, key, length, genre.
- The date and time a photo was taken, and its location, when your phone saved that inside the photo. iPhones often strip location from photos you pick from your library.
- Any feedback you send through the in-app chat.
Why it is stored
To give you the service you asked for: reading your photos and keeping a history you can search. That is our contract with you.
If you join the mailing list, we email you about once a month. That is consent, and you can withdraw it at any time by replying or using the unsubscribe link.
Who it is shared with
- Our hosting provider, which runs the app, the database and the private photo storage on servers inside the European Union.
- OpenAI, which reads each photo you submit in order to return the track details. Photos are sent for that reading only and are not used to train models.
- HubSpot, our mailing list and contact tool, which receives your email address and first name if you join the list.
Nothing is sold, and nothing is shared for advertising. Some of these providers operate outside the UK and EU; transfers rely on standard contractual clauses.
How long it is kept
Your photos and track history stay until you delete them or ask for the account to be closed. Deleting a spot in the app removes the record and the photo.
Mailing list details are kept until you unsubscribe or ask to be removed. Feedback messages are kept while they are useful, and no longer than two years.
Cookies and storage
Deck Spotter uses only what it needs to work: a sign-in session so you stay logged in, and small settings saved on your device, such as whether you dismissed a tip and your cookie choice. Photos taken with no signal are held on your device until they can be read.
There is no advertising, no analytics and no tracking of you across other websites, so there is nothing optional to switch off. Clearing your browser data removes all of it and signs you out.
Your rights
Under UK and EU GDPR you can ask for a copy of your data, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, ask us to stop using it, or object to how it is used. You can also ask for it in a portable form. We answer within one month, free of charge.
Email hello@scribey.co.uk and say what you would like. If you are unhappy with the answer, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
