Privacy Policy

The website is operated by Bunyamin Aras, known professionally as ARAS / BE. Ü, in Australia. References to “we”, “us” and “our” mean the operator. Privacy questions and requests can be sent to the email below.

The website currently provides music promotion, fan signups and enquiries. It does not process purchases, payments or confirmed bookings on-site.

Please do not send payment details, identity documents, sensitive personal information or another person’s private information unless it is necessary, you have the right to share it and we have agreed an appropriate way to receive it. You can browse without joining the mailing list. Without the required contact details, we may not be able to process a signup or respond to an enquiry.

• Fan signups: first name, email address, optional location, signup date and subscription status. The signup page and campaign parameters, such as UTM source, medium and campaign, may also be recorded.
• Enquiries: name, email address, selected topic, message and submission time, together with any information you choose to include in correspondence.
• Technical and usage information: IP addresses, browser or device details, pages and referral sources, campaign identifiers, interactions with music or download links, and cookie, visitor or session identifiers. What is collected depends on the tools enabled, your browser and any applicable choices.
• Security and administration: technical logs, anti-spam attempts and administrative session information needed to operate and protect the website.

• To deliver requested fan updates, music news and welcome emails, and manage subscriptions and opt-outs.
• To respond to enquiries and maintain relevant correspondence. Sending an enquiry does not automatically subscribe you to marketing.
• To operate, secure and troubleshoot the website, prevent spam and understand site performance and campaign engagement.
• To meet applicable legal obligations, handle complaints and protect legitimate rights.

Cookies and browser storage may support security, administrative sessions, preferences, analytics and advertising measurement. The site uses Google Tag Manager to manage tags; analytics and advertising technologies may include Google Analytics, PostHog, Meta and TikTok, depending on which tools are enabled. PostHog is configured for analytics and may support interaction or session recording when enabled. Third-party tools can collect technical information under their own policies.

Some tags and embedded services may load when a page opens, before you interact with the page. You can manage cookies and tracking restrictions in your browser and relevant provider settings. Blocking cookies does not necessarily prevent every third-party network request, and restrictions may affect site features. This policy is a notice, not consent to optional tracking.

The site includes music players and links to services such as Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, SoundCloud and social platforms. An embedded provider may receive your IP address, device information and page details when its player loads, even before playback. Following an external link takes you to a service governed by its own privacy policy and terms.

We do not control those providers’ independent processing. Please review their privacy settings and policies before using their services.

Information may be processed by authorised people assisting with the site and providers of hosting, database storage, email delivery, technical support, security, analytics and advertising services. This includes Emergent-managed hosting or email services and the relevant analytics or media providers described above. Enquiries may be forwarded by email to the operator for a response.

Information may also be disclosed where required or permitted by applicable law, to respond to lawful requests, or to obtain professional advice and protect legal rights. Subscriber and enquiry contact details are not displayed as a public directory on this website.

Service providers operate internationally. Information may be stored or processed outside Australia, including in the United States and other countries where the relevant provider or its infrastructure operates. Actual locations depend on the service and can change. Contact us for available information about a particular provider or transfer.

Where Australian privacy law applies to a disclosure, we must take the steps required by that law. We do not represent that all information remains in Australia.

Information is held in the site’s systems, service-provider systems and relevant email correspondence. Access to subscriber and enquiry records is restricted through administrative access controls. Reasonable care is taken to protect information, but no online service or transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

Retention depends on the purpose, ongoing correspondence, subscription status and legal or record-keeping needs. The site does not currently apply a fixed automatic deletion period to all records. Unsubscribing changes your mailing status; it does not automatically erase your record. Limited opt-out information may be retained to honour your choice. You can contact us to request deletion, subject to applicable obligations and legitimate retention needs.

Joining the fan list requests occasional music, release and live updates from ARAS. You can opt out using the unsubscribe link in fan emails or by emailing us with your request. Unsubscribe requests are to be honoured within five working days, as required by Australian spam law.

Opting out of marketing does not prevent a response to an enquiry you send or another necessary non-marketing communication. Contact us if an unsubscribe link is not working or you continue to receive unwanted updates.

You can ask what personal information we hold about you, request correction or deletion, or raise a concern by contacting us. We may need reasonable information to verify your identity before disclosing or changing a record; please do not send identity documents unless requested through an agreed process. Rights and any exceptions depend on the laws that apply.

Please describe your concern and how we can respond. We aim to acknowledge complaints promptly and provide a response within 30 days, or explain if more time is needed. If the matter is unresolved and within its jurisdiction, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). Other statutory complaint rights are not limited by this policy.

This is a general-audience artist website. If you are under 18, ask a parent or guardian before joining the mailing list or submitting personal information. A parent or guardian who has concerns about information provided by a child can contact us for review.

If you appear in website content and have a privacy concern about its use, please contact us and identify the relevant page or image.

This policy may be updated as the website, services or legal requirements change. The date above identifies the latest revision. Material changes may also be communicated where appropriate or required. An update does not override consent requirements or other rights under applicable law.
