Privacy Policy

I Got a Gig LLC

Effective Date: June 24, 2026   Last Updated: September 1, 2026


Introduction

I Got a Gig LLC ("I Got a Gig," "we," "us," or "our") is a Louisiana company operating a text-message-based platform that helps musicians in New Orleans (and beyond) announce their shows automatically. The platform is live: musicians have public artist pages served from our application server, subscribers on paid tiers use the SMS cascade, and fans receive show announcement texts. The public site at igotagig.com also offers an email signup for launch and product announcements.

Here is how the platform works: a musician texts show details to their I Got a Gig number, and our system distributes that information — drafting submissions to WWOZ, OffBeat, and other local outlets, sending show announcements to the musician's fan subscriber list, and generating calendar links. No app needed. Just a text. Fans subscribe to a musician's show announcement list by texting that musician's keyword to the musician's dedicated I Got a Gig number — one text to opt in, one text to opt out.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use that information, and what rights you have over it. We've written it in plain language on purpose. You shouldn't need a law degree to understand how your data is handled.


1. Who We Are

I Got a Gig LLC is a Louisiana limited liability company based in New Orleans. The platform we operate is reachable at igotagig.com.

Privacy contact: privacy@igotagig.com
General contact: hello@igotagig.com
Mailing address: 838 Mandeville St, New Orleans, LA 70117


2. Who This Policy Covers

This policy covers three groups of people who interact with us. We want to be clear about which rules apply to whom.

2.1 Website Visitors and Early-Access Subscribers

Website visitors are anyone who browses igotagig.com. Early-access subscribers are people who submit the signup form on our homepage to be notified about I Got a Gig launch and product announcements — we collect an email address and, optionally, an artist or band name.

2.2 Musicians (Platform Subscribers)

Musicians are subscribers — on our free tier or a paid plan — who use I Got a Gig to maintain their artist page and (on paid plans) automate their show announcements. They text show details to their I Got a Gig phone number, and our platform does the distribution work — submitting to local publications, texting their fans, and generating calendar links. Musicians interact with us as subscribers to a service.

2.3 Fans (SMS Subscribers)

Fans are people who opt in to receive show announcement text messages from a specific musician by texting that musician's keyword to the musician's dedicated I Got a Gig number. Fans do not have an account with I Got a Gig. Their only relationship with our platform is receiving SMS messages about shows from the artist they chose to follow. We take that relationship seriously and use their phone numbers for exactly one purpose: delivering those messages.


3. Information We Collect

3.1 From Early-Access Subscribers

When you submit the signup form on our homepage, we collect:

  • Email address — required, used to notify you about the I Got a Gig launch and related announcements
  • Artist or band name — optional, helps us understand who is interested and tailor early-access invites

This information is stored in Mailchimp (operated by Intuit Inc.) using their hosted subscriber list service. Mailchimp processes the data on our behalf under their own privacy and security terms (see Section 6). We retain early-access records until you unsubscribe — every Mailchimp email we send includes a one-click unsubscribe link in the footer.

3.2 From Website Visitors

When you visit igotagig.com, we automatically collect standard web analytics data:

  • IP address (anonymized per Google Analytics 4 default settings)
  • Browser type and version
  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Referring URL (how you found us)
  • Device type

Analytics tools currently loaded on the site:

  • Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-2VXV6LENWC) — website traffic and behavior analytics. A "lead" event is fired when an early-access signup completes successfully.

Google Analytics is the only tracker we use. We previously used Microsoft Clarity (session recordings and heatmaps) and the Meta Pixel (advertising measurement); both were removed in September 2026 and no longer load on any page.

Cookies: Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser. We do not currently display a separate cookie consent banner on this site. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time, or opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

3.3 Pages Served via Reverse Proxy

Some paths on igotagig.com — including individual artist profile pages (e.g. /artists/your-band), venue pages (e.g. /venues/tipitinas), and live show pages under /live — are not served by the marketing site itself. They are transparently bridged from our application server at app.igotagig.com through a reverse proxy hosted on Cloudflare. The URL in your browser stays on igotagig.com, but the request and response are forwarded to the platform.

Both surfaces are operated by I Got a Gig LLC and are governed by this same Privacy Policy. The platform may log standard request metadata (timestamps, IP addresses, user-agent strings) for security and operational purposes, and it may set its own session cookies for authenticated areas. The Google Analytics script described above loads on both the static marketing pages and the public pages of the platform — including proxied artist, venue, and live show pages — but not in the platform's admin area.

3.4 From Musicians (Platform Subscribers)

When you sign up for and use I Got a Gig as a musician, we collect:

  • Name, artist/band name, and mobile phone number — collected at signup for account management and to operate the text-in service
  • Signup consent record — when you agree to receive platform texts at signup, we record the consent language you saw, the timestamp, and the IP address the signup came from. This record protects both of us — it's proof your consent was freely given.
  • Show information you text to us — venue name, date, time, supporting acts, and any other details you include. This is intentionally public information — it's the whole point.
  • Photos you text to us — pictures you send by MMS for publication in your artist page gallery. These are published publicly at your direction.
  • Tip jar payment handles — if you enable the tip jar, your Venmo, Cash App, and/or PayPal usernames, which are displayed publicly on your artist page so fans can tip you directly
  • Profile and page content — bio, photos, music and social links, and other content you provide for your artist page
  • Billing information — for paid plans, payment is processed by Stripe (see Section 6). Payment card details are handled and stored by Stripe, not on our servers.
  • Support communications — any messages you send to our support team

3.5 From Fans (SMS Subscribers)

When you text a keyword to opt in to a musician's show announcement list, we collect:

  • Your mobile phone number — collected at the moment you text the keyword to opt in
  • The keyword you texted — this tells us which musician's list you're subscribing to (e.g., texting "QUICKENING" subscribes you to that specific musician's announcements)
  • Opt-in timestamp and method — we record when and how you opted in. This record is required by law and protects you — it's proof that your consent was freely given and that we're not sending messages you didn't ask for.
  • Message delivery data — technical data about whether messages were delivered to your carrier. We do not track whether you read messages.

3.6 Automated Processing of Show Texts (AI Parsing)

When a musician texts show details to their I Got a Gig number, our system uses a large language model to extract the structured details (venue, date, time, supporting acts) from the message. This processing is performed through OpenAI's API, which acts as a service provider to us: the text of the message is sent to OpenAI for parsing and the extracted details are returned to our system. Under OpenAI's API terms, data submitted through the API is not used to train their models. Fan messages are not processed this way — AI parsing applies only to show details and related messages musicians send to the platform.


4. How We Use Your Information

4.1 For Early-Access Subscribers

We use the email address and (if provided) artist name you submit to:

  • Notify you about I Got a Gig — launch and feature announcements, invitations, and onboarding instructions
  • Send occasional product updates related to the launch — kept infrequent and relevant
  • Understand who is interested — in aggregate, which markets and artist types are signing up

We do not sell early-access subscriber data, and we do not share it outside of Mailchimp (which acts as our hosted processor). You can unsubscribe at any time via the link at the bottom of any email we send.

4.2 For Website Visitors

We use website analytics data to:

  • Understand how people find and use igotagig.com
  • Identify pages that are confusing or underperforming
  • Measure whether our advertising campaigns are reaching musicians in New Orleans

We do not sell website visitor data.

4.3 For Musicians

We use musician information to:

  • Operate the cascade service — parse show texts, draft WWOZ and OffBeat submissions, generate calendar links, and send fan SMS announcements
  • Send you system messages — confirmations when we receive a show text, approval prompts before a submission or fan blast goes out, and platform alerts
  • Maintain your web presence — to publish and update your artist page, and any custom website we build for you under a separate agreement
  • Process billing — to charge your subscription, send receipts, and manage renewals
  • Provide customer support — to respond to your questions and help troubleshoot issues
  • Improve the platform — to understand how musicians use the service and make it better

4.4 For Fans

We use fan phone numbers and subscription data to:

  • Send show announcement messages from the specific musician you opted in to follow
  • Send a one-time opt-in confirmation message when you first subscribe
  • Process standard SMS commands — STOP, HELP, START, and similar commands as required by TCPA and industry standards

We will not use fan phone numbers for any other purpose. Fan numbers will not be used to send I Got a Gig marketing messages, they will not be shared with other musicians on the platform, and they will not be sold. Full stop.


5. SMS Messaging — Specific Disclosures

This section contains required disclosures under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), CTIA guidelines, and The Campaign Registry (TCR) requirements for A2P 10DLC SMS registration. Please read it carefully.

Current status: SMS-based show announcements are a core feature of the I Got a Gig platform and are live. The disclosures below describe how the SMS service operates for subscribers and fans.


5.1 Musician SMS — Operational Messages

Musicians who subscribe to I Got a Gig receive operational SMS messages from our system. These are not marketing messages — they're the working messages that make the service function. They include:

  • Show received confirmations — sent when our system successfully parses a show text (e.g., "🎶 Got it! Maple Leaf Bar, Friday May 9, 9pm. WWOZ draft ready.")
  • Preview messages — sent before a fan blast is delivered, giving the musician a chance to approve or edit (e.g., "Ready to send to 47 fans. Reply 👍 to send or reply EDIT to change.")
  • System alerts — delivery errors, account notifications, and other operational notices

Message frequency: Varies based on how many shows a musician announces. A musician who texts in 4 shows per week may receive approximately 8–16 system messages per week (2–4 confirmations plus 2–4 previews, plus any follow-up interactions). During slow gigging weeks, message volume will be lower.

Opt-out: Musician operational messages are tied to your active subscription. If you cancel your subscription, operational messages will stop. You may also contact privacy@igotagig.com for assistance.

Message and data rates: Standard message and data rates may apply depending on your carrier and plan.


5.2 Fan SMS — Show Announcements

Fans receive show announcement messages from the musician they chose to follow. This section explains every aspect of how that works.

Opt-In

Fans provide explicit consent by texting a keyword (for example, "QUICKENING") to that musician's dedicated I Got a Gig phone number. No show announcements are ever sent to a fan without this opt-in action. We do not add fans to lists automatically, through website forms alone, or from any source other than an inbound keyword text.

Opt-In Confirmation Message

Upon opting in, every new fan subscriber receives exactly one confirmation message:

"All set! Check out [Musician Name]'s upcoming gigs at igotagig.com/artists/[musician]. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel."

No show announcements are sent until after this confirmation is delivered.

What Messages Fans Receive

After opting in, fans receive show announcement messages when the musician they follow announces a new gig through I Got a Gig. These messages contain: show date, time, venue, and any additional details the musician includes.

Message frequency: Varies by musician. Message volume is determined entirely by the musician's gigging schedule — we do not inject additional messages on behalf of I Got a Gig. To keep volume low, most announcements are bundled into a periodic digest, so one text may cover several upcoming shows, with time-sensitive shows sent individually. We also hold sends during overnight quiet hours (approximately 9pm–9am Central) and deliver them the next morning.

Opt-Out (STOP Command)

Fans can unsubscribe at any time by replying STOP (or UNSUBSCRIBE) to any message. Opt-out is immediate and is enforced both in our system and at the messaging-provider level, so no further show announcements can be sent to your number. You will receive a single standard confirmation of your opt-out, delivered by our messaging provider. Reply START to resubscribe at any time.

HELP Command

Fans can reply HELP to any message to receive:

"[Musician Name] fan list. Msg&data rates may apply. Msg frequency varies. Help: help@igotagig.com. Reply STOP to unsubscribe."

Message and Data Rates

Standard message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier and plan. I Got a Gig does not charge fans for messages — any charges are between you and your wireless carrier.

Carrier Disclaimer

Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Message delivery is subject to carrier network availability and conditions.


5.3 No Marketing Messages to Fans Without Separate Consent

This point is important enough to state plainly on its own:

Fan phone numbers collected through the keyword opt-in process are used for one purpose only: delivering show announcements from the specific musician the fan opted in to follow.

Fan phone numbers collected through our platform are never:

  • Used to send marketing or promotional messages for I Got a Gig
  • Shared with or accessible to other musicians on the platform
  • Sold, rented, leased, or transferred to any third party for marketing purposes
  • Used to build advertising audiences (we do not upload fan numbers to Meta, Google, or any ad platform)

If we ever wish to use fan phone numbers for any purpose beyond show announcements, we will obtain separate, explicit consent before doing so.

All categories above exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.


5.4 Short Code / Long Code / Toll-Free Number Information

I Got a Gig uses 10DLC long codes for SMS delivery — each musician with fan SMS enabled has a dedicated long code number — registered through The Campaign Registry (TCR) as required for A2P 10DLC messaging, under our registered brand and campaign.


6. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We are not in the business of selling data. Our revenue comes from musician subscriptions, not data monetization.

We share information only in the following limited circumstances:

6.1 Service Providers

We work with the following third-party companies to operate our platform. Each is contractually bound to use your information only as necessary to provide services to us:

6.2 Show Submissions to Third Parties

When a musician uses I Got a Gig, our system drafts show submissions and — upon the musician's approval — sends those submissions on the musician's behalf to:

  • WWOZ 90.7 FM (livewire calendar submissions)
  • OffBeat Magazine (listings submissions)

We may add additional local outlets over time; any new destination will work the same way — drafted by our system and sent only with the musician's approval.

This is the core function of the service and is performed at the musician's direction. The information submitted — show venue, date, time, performer name — is intentionally public information that the musician wants published. It is not private data.

6.3 Legal Requirements

We may disclose personal information if we believe in good faith that disclosure is required or permitted by law, including in response to a court order, subpoena, or lawful request by public authorities. We may also disclose information when we believe it is necessary to protect our legal rights, prevent fraud, or protect the safety of any person.

6.4 Business Transfer

If I Got a Gig is acquired, merges with another company, or substantially all of its assets are transferred, your personal information may be part of that transaction. If this happens, we will notify musician subscribers via email and post a prominent notice on our website. You will have the opportunity to request deletion of your information at that time.


7. Data Retention

We keep your information only as long as we need it. Here's how that breaks down:

Musicians: Account data (name, email, phone number, show history) is retained for the duration of your active subscription plus 90 days after cancellation. That window gives you the ability to reactivate your account without losing your history. After 90 days, your account data is deleted. Billing records are retained for 7 years as required by applicable tax and financial regulations.

Fans: Phone numbers and subscription records are retained for as long as you remain subscribed to a musician's list, plus 30 days after you unsubscribe. The 30-day buffer allows us to process any delayed STOP requests and prevent accidental re-enrollment. Opt-in records — the record that you texted a keyword, the timestamp, and your phone number — are retained for 4 years even after you unsubscribe. This retention is required for TCPA compliance and exists to protect you: it's the proof that you consented before we ever sent you a message.

Website analytics: Aggregated, anonymized analytics data may be retained indefinitely. Individual-level IP addresses are anonymized per Google Analytics 4 default retention settings.


8. Your Rights and Choices

8.1 All Users

Regardless of where you live, you have the right to:

  • Access — Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
  • Correction — Request that we correct personal information that is inaccurate or incomplete
  • Deletion — Request that we delete your personal information, subject to legal retention requirements (for example, we may be required to retain billing records or opt-in logs regardless of a deletion request)

To make any of these requests, email us at privacy@igotagig.com. We will respond within 30 days.

8.2 Musicians

You may cancel your subscription at any time by contacting help@igotagig.com. Upon cancellation, your account remains accessible during your billing period, then enters a 90-day retention window before deletion.

8.3 Fans

To unsubscribe from show announcements: Reply STOP to any message. This is immediate and always available — you never need to contact us to opt out.

To request removal of your phone number from our system entirely: Email privacy@igotagig.com. Note that opt-in records (timestamp and method) may be retained for up to 4 years for TCPA compliance purposes even after your number is removed from active mailing lists.

8.4 California Residents — CCPA Rights

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):

  • Right to Know — You have the right to know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and whether we sell it
  • Right to Know if Sold or Disclosed — We do not sell personal information. We do share certain data with service providers as described in Section 6.
  • Right to Opt Out of Sale — Because we do not sell personal information, this right is already satisfied, but you may contact us to confirm
  • Right to Deletion — You have the right to request deletion of your personal information as described above
  • Right to Non-Discrimination — We will not deny you services, charge you a different price, or provide a lower quality of service because you exercised any of these rights

To exercise your CCPA rights, contact us at privacy@igotagig.com with the subject line "CCPA Request."

8.5 Opting Out of Analytics Tracking

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. To opt out of Google Analytics across all websites, install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.


9. Security

We take the security of your information seriously. We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction — including encrypted data transmission (HTTPS), limited internal access to personal data, and use of reputable, security-certified third-party providers (Twilio, Stripe).

That said, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

A note about SMS: Text messages are transmitted through third-party carrier networks and are not end-to-end encrypted. Please do not send sensitive personal information (Social Security numbers, passwords, financial account numbers) via text message to our system. Show details — dates, venues, set times — are exactly the kind of information SMS is appropriate for.


10. Children's Privacy

I Got a Gig is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete that information promptly. If you believe we may have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us at privacy@igotagig.com.


11. Links to Third-Party Websites

Our platform and website may contain links to third-party websites and services — including WWOZ, OffBeat Magazine, Spotify, Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, Mailchimp, and others. These links are provided for your convenience. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and this Privacy Policy does not apply to them. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.


12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our product evolves, as we add new features, or as applicable law changes. When we update this policy, we will:

  • Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document
  • For material changes that affect how we use your data in a significant way, notify musician subscribers by email or SMS at least 30 days before the change takes effect
  • Post the updated policy at igotagig.com/privacy

Continued use of the platform after a policy update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. If you do not agree with changes, you may cancel your musician subscription or opt out of fan messages at any time.
