Privacy Policy: Bridgr, Inc. // Elwood

Last Updated: April 20, 2026

1. INTRODUCTION & OUR MISSION

Bridgr, Inc. (“Bridgr,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Delaware corporation dedicated to uniting and elevating humanity through the proliferation of music creation and performance. Our technology brand, Elwood, provides the infrastructure to lift the “Artist’s Voice in the Age of AI” through low-latency remote synchronization and original media production. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle data across our public-facing websites and our proprietary technology platform.

2. THE LAYERED COLLECTION MODEL

We distinguish between the data collected from casual visitors to our public site and the high-fidelity data required from our registered production participants.

  • A. Website Visitors: For individuals browsing itselwood.com or our related public pages, we collect standard technical identifiers (such as IP addresses, browser type, and cookies) to optimize site performance and analyze engagement with our "Gap Content" and recruitment narratives. We do not capture audio, video, or biometric data from passive website visitors.
  • B. Registered Platform Participants (Artists & Cast): For those who log into the Elwood technology stack or participate in our production sessions (e.g., No Room for Solos), we collect specialized data required for "Production Validation." This includes:
    • High-fidelity audio recordings and vocal stems.
    • Visual likenesses captured during remote synchronization.
    • Professional performance metrics (e.g., streaming analytics) used to validate casting within our Artist Recruitment Pipeline.

3. BIOMETRIC DATA NOTICE (REGISTERED PARTICIPANTS ONLY)

In accordance with the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) and similar standards, we provide notice that for registered participants, we may process “Biometric Audio Data”—defined as the unique acoustic and rhythmic signatures of a vocal performance.

  • Purpose: This data is processed exclusively to calibrate our proprietary synchronization engine, ensure high-fidelity output for our documentary productions, and optimize our AI-augmented technology stack.
  • Informed Consent: Capture of this data is subject to explicit opt-in at the point of login or via the terms of a specific Cast Agreement.
  • Retention: Biometric identifiers are retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the stated technology-validation goals or the duration of the applicable production lifecycle, whichever is shorter, and in no event longer than three (3) years from the date of collection unless a longer period is required by law. All other personal data is retained for the duration of the user relationship and for a period of seven (7) years thereafter, or as otherwise required by applicable law. Upon expiration of the applicable retention period, data will be securely deleted or anonymized.

4. HOW WE USE YOUR DATA

We utilize information to advance the "human spirit" in music creation:

5. DATA SHARING & SUB-PROCESSORS

6. STEALTH MODE & CONFIDENTIALITY

Certain aspects of the Elwood roadmap remain in "Stealth Mode." Participants in our internal production tiers are governed by the specific terms of their talent agreements (e.g., the No Room for Solos Cast Agreement) and the platform's Terms of Service, which include strict non-disclosure obligations.
