Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026
At Ghost Producer World, your privacy and the confidentiality of your musical projects are our highest priority. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal and financial information when you use our platform.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us when creating an account, such as your name, email address, and payment details (processed securely via third-party gateways like PayPal or Stripe). We also collect data regarding your browsing behavior on our platform to improve our catalog algorithms.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To process transactions securely between buyers and producers.
- To generate the legally binding Copyright Transfer Agreements automatically.
- To send you updates regarding your track sales, offers, or account status.
3. Confidentiality Guarantee (NDA)
Any purchase made on Ghost Producer World is protected by strict Non-Disclosure rules. We will never publicly disclose the identity of a buyer who purchased a specific track, nor will we disclose the real identity of the ghost producer unless explicitly agreed upon by both parties.
4. Cookies
We use essential cookies only — the small pieces of storage strictly required for the platform to function. We do not use advertising, profiling or third-party tracking cookies, so there is nothing non-essential for you to reject.
- Authentication — keeps you securely logged in to your account (Supabase).
- Security & anti-fraud — protects sign-up and checkout from bots and abuse (Cloudflare Turnstile / Cloudflare).
- Payments — required by our payment processor to detect fraud during checkout (Stripe).
Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver a service you request (logging in, staying secure, paying), they are exempt from prior consent under the ePrivacy Directive / GDPR. You can still block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but parts of the site (login and checkout) may stop working.
5. Identity Verification & Data Retention
To keep the marketplace safe for both buyers and producers, we ask for a photo of a government-issued ID and its document number:
- Buyers — once, before the first purchase. There is no waiting for approval; it simply protects sellers against payment fraud (e.g. chargebacks filed after the files were delivered).
- Producers — as part of seller verification, reviewed by our team before selling is enabled.
How it is protected: documents are stored encrypted in a private bucket, are never shown publicly or to other users, and are only accessible to our verification team through expiring, access-controlled links.
How long we keep it: the image of your document is automatically and permanently deleted 30 days after submission (or after seller review is completed). We keep only a non-reversible digital fingerprint (a cryptographic hash) and the document number, used exclusively to prevent banned accounts from re-registering. We never sell or share your identity data with third parties.
Your rights: under the GDPR you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time via the Support Center. Note that data required to comply with legal, tax or anti-fraud obligations may be retained where the law requires it.
Terms of Use
Welcome to Ghost Producer World. By accessing or using our website, you agree to comply with and be bound by the following terms and conditions.
1. General Platform Rules
Ghost Producer World acts as a marketplace to facilitate the buying and selling of exclusive electronic music tracks. We do not own the tracks uploaded by users prior to their sale. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any account that violates our terms, engages in fraudulent activity, or uploads stolen content.
2. Purchasing and Offers
Buyers can purchase tracks at the listing price or make custom Offers. If a producer accepts an Offer, the buyer is obligated to complete the transaction. All sales are final. Due to the digital nature of the audio files and the immediate transfer of copyright, we do not offer refunds once the files have been downloaded.
3. Platform Commission
Ghost Producer World deducts a commission based on the seller's producer level — from 20% (Beginner, Level 1) down to 15% (Legend, Level 5). The remaining 80% to 85% is transferred directly to the seller's account balance, ready for withdrawal.
Refund & Cancellation Policy
Last updated: July 2026
Ghost Producer World is a marketplace for digital audio products (ghost-production tracks delivered as WAV/MP3 files and, where applicable, project files) and for custom production services. Because our products are intangible digital goods delivered instantly, the following policy applies to every purchase.
1. Digital Tracks & Offers — All Sales Are Final
When you buy a track (at list price or through an accepted Offer), you receive a non-exclusive or exclusive license to downloadable audio files, together with an automatically generated copyright transfer agreement. Due to the digital, non-returnable nature of these products, all sales are final and non-refundable once the files have been downloaded. Once a file has been delivered and downloaded, it cannot be "returned", and a refund is therefore not possible.
2. Before You Download — Technical Issues
If, before downloading, you experience a genuine technical problem — a corrupt file, the wrong file delivered, or the download link not working — contact us within 48 hours of purchase through the Support Center. We will repair the delivery or, if we cannot, issue a refund for that specific order. This applies only where the files have not yet been successfully downloaded.
3. Custom Production Services
Custom service orders (e.g. a track made to order) follow the terms agreed on the order page. A buyer may cancel and request a refund only before the producer has delivered the work; once a demo or the final delivery has been provided, the order is considered fulfilled. All service refund requests are reviewed and approved by our team on a case-by-case basis to protect both buyer and producer.
4. Cancellations
You may cancel a purchase at any time before completing payment. After payment is completed for a digital product, the order is processed immediately and cannot be cancelled, subject to the exceptions in sections 2 and 3 above.
5. Chargebacks & Fraud
Filing a chargeback for a digital product that was successfully delivered and downloaded is considered fraudulent. To protect our sellers, every buyer verifies their identity before their first purchase (see the Privacy Policy). We reserve the right to dispute illegitimate chargebacks with the evidence of delivery on file and to permanently ban the associated identity from the platform.
6. How Payments Are Processed
All card payments are processed securely and encrypted by our payment processor, Stripe. Ghost Producer World does not collect, see or store your full card details on its own servers.

Transfer of Rights
This is the core of our business model. Understanding the transfer of rights is crucial for both buyers and sellers on Ghost Producer World.
1. Absolute Ownership
Upon the successful completion of a payment, the buyer is granted 100% of the Master and Publishing rights. The track becomes entirely royalty-free for the buyer. The buyer has the right to release the track under their own artist name, sign it to any record label, and collect all royalties generated from streaming, radio, and live performances.
2. The Seller's Obligations
Once a track is sold, the producer (seller) relinquishes all claims to the track. The producer may not use the track, its main melodies, or its specific vocal processing in any future projects. The producer cannot claim credit publicly for the track unless explicitly permitted by the buyer.
3. The Legal Contract
A PDF contract is automatically generated at the moment of purchase, documenting the permanent transfer of intellectual property from the seller to the buyer. This document serves as legal proof of ownership for record labels and distribution platforms.
Upload Agreement
By uploading a track to Ghost Producer World, you (the Producer) agree to a strict set of rules to ensure the safety and quality of our marketplace.
1. Originality and Exclusivity
You guarantee that the track you are uploading is your original creation. You must hold 100% of the rights to the track at the time of upload. Tracks uploaded to Ghost Producer World must be exclusive to our platform. You cannot list the same track for sale on other ghost production websites simultaneously.
2. Original Composition Requirement
- Every track must have a 100% original melody — composed entirely by you, with no ready-made melodic samples.
- You must not use any uncleared, copyrighted samples (e.g., ripping a vocal or melody from another song).
- Uploading a track built on ready-made melodic samples will result in rejection and may lead to account termination.
3. Quality Standard
Our A&R team reviews every submission. We reserve the right to reject any track that does not meet the industry standard for mixing, mastering, and arrangement. You must provide all required assets, including the Master WAV, Unmastered mixdown, Stems, and MIDI files.
