Effective date: 10 June 2026 Last updated: 10 June 2026
Simuze is created and operated by Atypisch.nl, a digital infrastructure studio based in the Netherlands.
This page sets out where Simuze stands on artificial intelligence and on the use of platform content and data for purposes other than running Simuze itself. It forms part of our Terms of Service at /legal/terms.
1. What we will not do
Simuze does not, and will not, use your content to train AI or machine learning models.
This applies to:
- Music recordings, audio files, and underlying sound.
- Lyrics, song titles, album titles, descriptions, and any other text you upload.
- Artwork, photographs, and any other images you upload.
- Profiles, biographies, group posts, comments, messages, and any other text you produce on Simuze.
- Play history, favourites, and behavioural data.
Simuze does not, and will not, sell or licence your content or platform data to third parties for the purpose of training AI or machine learning models.
This includes both bespoke deals with named AI companies and indirect routes such as data brokers, crawlable open datasets we'd publish ourselves, or APIs designed to enable bulk AI ingestion.
Simuze does not allow third-party AI crawlers to scrape the platform.
We block known AI training crawlers via robots.txt, server-side rules, and where appropriate technical measures. We add new known crawlers as they become public. If you spot one we've missed, please tell us at admin@simuze.com.
2. What we may do
We may use AI tools internally, to operate Simuze, in narrow ways that don't involve giving your content to anyone else. For example:
- Spam, fraud, and abuse detection — pattern recognition to flag suspicious accounts, fraudulent transactions, or potentially harmful content for human review.
- Search and recommendations — internal indexing and surfacing of content, in ways that don't transmit content outside our systems.
- Operational tools — content tagging, image cropping, audio fingerprinting against our own catalogue for duplicate detection.
If we ever use a third-party AI service for any of these internal purposes, we'll require that the service does not retain, share, or use our inputs to train its models, and we'll list it in section 5 of the Privacy Policy under processors.
3. AI-generated content uploaded by users
This is a harder question than the "no training on your stuff" rule, because the music industry is in the middle of figuring it out.
Our current position:
- We don't ban AI-assisted music. Producers have used software-generated material for decades; there's no clean line.
- We do require that you have the rights to whatever you upload. If the tool you used trained on others' music without permission, that's a problem you've inherited; we may take down content that's the subject of a credible rights claim.
- We prohibit AI-generated impersonation of identifiable real artists without their clear permission. Voice cloning of a named singer for commercial release without their consent is a violation of our Acceptable Use Policy.
- Transparency is encouraged. If a release is fully AI-generated, saying so on the page is good practice. We may add a labelling feature for this in the future.
This section may evolve as the law and industry practice settle.
4. Searchable APIs and bulk access
We don't currently offer a public bulk-export or scraping API. Where APIs exist, they're scoped to specific platform features (e.g. an embed player, an artist's own analytics) and rate-limited.
If you need data for legitimate research and you're not a commercial AI training operation, get in touch — we can sometimes help, on a case-by-case basis.
5. Your content, your control
As stated in the Terms of Service, you own your content. Simuze's licence to host and sell your content does not include any AI training rights, and you can remove your content at any time. When you do, the corresponding files are deleted from our systems within our normal retention windows.
6. If you're an AI company reading this
The text and content on Simuze, including this page, is not licensed for use as AI training data. Crawling Simuze for AI training purposes is not authorised, regardless of any general assumption you may make about public web content.
For licensing inquiries — for example, if you want to enter into a paid, opt-in agreement with willing artists through Simuze — contact admin@simuze.com.
7. Changes
If we change this policy in ways that would affect what we do with your content, we'll give at least 30 days' notice and registered users will be told. Tightening of the policy (more restrictions, more transparency) can take effect when published.
