Frequently asked questions

Here are some of our frequently asked questions, you can contact us if you have any other queries.

What is Vollou and how does it work?

Vollou is an innovative solution designed to ensure accurate royalty distributions for artists and music venues. It features two key products: a device for venues and a portable device for artists on tour. The venue device is installed in music venues and autonomously tracks the music played, transmitting this data to Performance Rights Organisations (PROs) and providing a dashboard for venue owners. For artists and DJs on tour, the portable device captures live music performances and communicates this data to an artist dashboard and PROs. Utilising advanced audio recognition technology, Vollou can identify even live-altered music, ensuring precise data collection for accurate royalty payments.

How do artists benefit from Vollou's technology?

Artists benefit from Vollou's technology through more accurate and fair royalty payments. The traditional methods of tracking played music often result in imprecise data, leading to inaccurate royalty distributions. Vollou's advanced system accurately identifies and reports live and recorded music, ensuring artists are compensated fairly for their work. This is particularly beneficial for artists whose music is played in venues or live performances, providing them with a transparent and dependable source of income from their creations.

Is Vollou's technology compatible with existing systems used by PROs or venues?

Vollou offers a bespoke solution that can be adapted to any API. Alternatively, venues and PROs can use Vollou's own dashboard to manage their operations.

What type of data does the Vollou device collect, and how is privacy handled?

The Vollou device collects data by converting audio tracks into digital fingerprints locally, ensuring no raw audio is stored or transmitted. This fingerprint is then sent to Vollou's servers for recognition, and the associated metadata—like track title, artist, duration, and playback time—is stored. This process upholds privacy, as only essential data is collected and securely handled, primarily to facilitate accurate royalty distributions and provide insights on the user dashboards. Vollou's approach ensures that data is used exclusively for its intended purpose while adhering to stringent data protection standards, including compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), demonstrating our commitment to user privacy and data security.
