Effective Date: June 30, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Esjaysi (“I,” “me,” or “my”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit esjaysi.com (the “Site”), submit song requests, leave tips, contact me, or interact with livestreamed performances.
By using this Site, you agree to the practices described below.
1. Information I Collect
I collect only the information necessary to operate the Site and provide interactive features such as song requests, tipping, contact forms, and livestream access.
Song Request Form
When you submit a song request, I may collect:
- Song title
- Artist name
- Optional name, nickname, or shoutout message
- Optional custom request notes
- Technical metadata such as IP address, browser type, and submission time (which may be collected automatically by website software or plugins)
Tips and Payments
If you choose to leave a tip or donation, payment information may be collected by third-party payment processors.
Depending on the payment method, this may include:
- Payment amount
- Transaction ID
- Billing or payment account details
- Payment status
I do not store full credit card numbers or full payment credentials on my own servers.
Payments are processed through third-party providers such as:
- Stripe

Their privacy practices govern how payment data is handled once you interact with their systems.
Contact Forms

2. How Information Is Used
Information collected through the Site may be used to:
- Process and organize song requests
- Prioritize requests during performances
- Process tips and donations
- Respond to messages and inquiries
- Operate livestreams
- Improve website performance and user experience
- Prevent fraud, abuse, spam, or chargeback disputes
- Maintain security and technical functionality
3. Tips and Song Requests
Tips or donations made through the Site are voluntary gratuities intended to support live music performance.
Tips are not purchases of guaranteed services.
Although I make reasonable efforts to honor song requests, submitting a request or leaving a tip does not guarantee that:
- a requested song will be performed,
- the song will be performed immediately,
- the song will be performed in full,
- the song will be performed in its original arrangement, or
- an unlisted song can be performed.
Performance decisions may depend on timing, venue limitations, technical issues, repertoire familiarity, artistic judgment, and audience flow.
4. Livestreams and Recorded Performances
Some performances may be livestreamed through third-party platforms such as Twitch and embedded on this Site.
Livestreams may include audio, video, or both.
Recordings may be:
- viewed live,
- temporarily stored by streaming providers,
- archived for a limited time, or
- clipped/highlighted for later sharing.
Public Performances
If a performance occurs in a public venue, audience members or patrons may be incidentally visible or audible in the background.
I make reasonable efforts to focus cameras on performers, but incidental capture of surrounding guests may occur.
By entering areas where recording or livestreaming is taking place, individuals may be captured incidentally in audio or video.
5. Cookies and Analytics
This Site may use cookies, analytics tools, and performance tracking technologies.
These tools help measure:
- page visits
- traffic sources
- site performance
- general visitor behavior
The Site uses services and plugins such as Jetpack and related website analytics tools.
These services may collect information such as:
- IP address

You can control cookies through your browser settings.
6. Third-Party Services and Links
The Site may contain links to or integrations with third-party services, including payment providers, streaming services, and external platforms.
Examples may include:
- Stripe

- Twitch
- social media platforms
When you leave this Site or interact with embedded third-party services, those providers’ privacy policies apply.
I am not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services.
7. Data Retention
Information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for:
- business operations

I may delete data sooner when no longer needed.
8. Data Security
I use reasonable administrative and technical measures to help protect information submitted through the Site.
However, no website, payment system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.
Use of the Site is at your own risk.

This Site is not directed toward children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
