The notice, in ten parts
Effective date
This notice takes effect on [EFFECTIVE DATE TO BE SET AT LAUNCH] and replaces any earlier version.
What the contact form collects
The contact form collects a name, an email address, an optional telephone number, the service chosen from the list, the kind of enquiry, the number of performers, a session date, any access or equipment needs and the message text. No other field is present and no hidden field is added. The form does not collect payment details and the website has no payment page.
What the subscribe form collects
The subscribe form collects an email address and the path of the page the address was entered from. The path is kept so the studio knows which page prompted the subscription; it is not used to build a profile of the visitor.
Why the information is collected
A contact message is collected to answer the enquiry it contains, to confirm the price for the scope described and to agree a date. A subscribed address is used only to send the session notes described beside the form, and never for a different purpose.
Who else receives it
Messages and subscriptions are transmitted by an email delivery service acting on the studio's instructions. [PROCESSOR NAMES TO BE LISTED AT LAUNCH.] No information from either form is sold, rented or shared for advertising, and no advertising or analytics script runs on this website.
How long it is kept
A contact message is kept for as long as the enquiry is open and for twelve months afterwards, so a returning artist can be answered in context. A subscribed address is kept until the visitor unsubscribes or asks for removal.
Security, stated honestly
The forms are sent over an encrypted connection and access to messages is limited to staff who answer them. No transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure, and the studio does not claim otherwise.
What a visitor can choose
Every field on the subscribe form is optional in the sense that nobody must subscribe. On the contact form the telephone number is optional and a message can be sent without it. Every session-notes email carries an unsubscribe link that works without a reply.
Asking for deletion
A request to see, correct or delete stored information can be sent by email or telephone using the details below. The studio confirms in writing once the request has been carried out.
Who to contact about this notice
Ridgeline Sound Rooms, Foundry Walk, Asheville, North Carolina. Email [email protected].
Picture and film credits
Every photograph on this website, and the opening film, were made by somebody else. Sixteen entries are listed below: eleven photographs under a Creative Commons Attribution licence, four photographs released under CC0, and the film recorded from one of the attributed photographs. The Attribution licence asks for two things: that the creator is named, and that any change made to the work is indicated. Both are done for every entry, and this page is linked from the foot of every page because the licensed work appears on every page.
The change is the same in every photographic case. Each frame was cropped to the shape the page needed, resized, colour-graded with one shared grade, and re-encoded to AVIF, WebP and JPEG. Nothing was retouched, composited or captioned, and no person was added to or removed from any frame. The film was made differently and is described in its own entry.

SSL SL9000J (72ch) @ The Cutting Room Recording Studios, NYC
Rebecca Wilson · CC BY 2.0
Appears as the opening film on the home page. Changed for this website: the photograph was colour-graded and then recorded as a slow ten-second pan along the console, scaled to 1280 by 720, silent, and looped. The film has no footage of its own — every frame of it is part of this one photograph.
Released into the public domain
Four of the entries above are released under the Creative Commons Zero public-domain dedication, which asks for nothing at all: three photographs by Dayron Villaverde and one by Jonathan Velasquez. They are credited above anyway, because the work is theirs. No other public-domain picture is used on this website.
Typefaces
The two typefaces on this website, Syne and DM Sans, are served from this site’s own files under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. No request goes to a font service while a page is read.
The full record — original file, original size, the exact crop box, and the date each licence was checked — is kept in ASSET_SOURCES.md alongside the website's files.
