Modern Soundworks ("Modern Soundworks", "we", "us", or "our") is a registered United States limited liability company specializing in music-related software, audio mastering, and technical consulting. This Privacy Policy applies to our website (modernsoundworks.co), our native desktop applications (including TrackVision and DDP Studio), and our client audio services.

2. Information We Collect

We only collect information necessary to deliver software, conduct audio mastering services, and respond to your inquiries:
