Legal

Artists who upload songs to Thee Ads Guy keep full ownership of their music. By uploading, an artist grants Thee Ads Guy a non-exclusive, revocable licence to stream the uploaded snippet on the platform and to pair it with advertiser campaigns, worldwide, for as long as the song remains on the platform.

By uploading, the artist declares that the recording is human-made and that they hold, or have permission for, every right needed: the recording itself, the underlying composition, any samples, and the performances of any featured artists. Co-owners must be disclosed and must have agreed to the upload.

Advertisers must use approved platform music with their ads; uploading or pairing outside music is not permitted. Platform approval of a song does not waive any royalty, neighbouring-rights or collecting-society obligation that may apply under Canadian law.

Artists may request removal of their songs at any time by contacting support@theeadsguy.ca. Removal takes effect for future plays; completed campaigns already in flight finish their schedule.

If you believe content on Thee Ads Guy infringes your copyright, trademark or other rights, email support@theeadsguy.ca with:

• Your name, contact details and the right you hold or represent.
• A link or clear description of the content concerned.
• A short statement of why you believe the use is unauthorized.

We acknowledge complaints within 3 hours and aim to resolve them promptly. Content under a credible complaint is paused while we review it. Uploaders are notified and may respond with evidence of their rights. Repeat or bad-faith uploads lead to account suspension. Abuse of the complaint process may also lead to suspension.

Thee Ads Guy collects only what it needs to run the platform: your email address and account details, the role you choose (viewer, student, advertiser or artist), and for Canadian students who earn rewards, school-email verification and payout details handled by Stripe.

We use this information to operate your account, measure completed plays, prevent fraud and streaming abuse, and process student payouts. Fraud-prevention signals (such as playback timing and connection patterns) are reviewed by a person before any action is taken; automated signals alone never prove fraud.

We do not sell personal information. Payment and identity verification are processed by Stripe under its own privacy terms. We keep account records while your account is active and as required by Canadian tax and business-record laws.

Under Canadian privacy law (including PIPEDA), you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by emailing support@theeadsguy.ca. We respond within 30 days.
