Bad Little Robot

<p>BLR Backline is a private front-end back office for bands, musicians, and music projects running on WordPress.</p>
<p>It gives authorized users one centralized workspace for managing releases, tracks, contacts, outreach, events, tasks, fan signups, and basic project operations without needing to work inside the standard WordPress admin area.</p>
<p>BLR Backline is designed for musicians who need practical project infrastructure without duct-taping together spreadsheets, CRMs, calendar tools, and half-broken mailing workflows.</p>
<p>Features include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Front-end dashboard for authorized users</li>
<li>Discography management for releases and tracks</li>
<li>Contact management for industry, fan, venue, press, and project contacts</li>
<li>Outreach campaign management</li>
<li>Background outreach queue processing with campaign locking</li>
<li>Newsletter signup handling with email confirmation support</li>
<li>Newsletter subscription statuses for pending, subscribed, and unsubscribed contacts</li>
<li>Event and calendar views</li>
<li>Task and workflow tracking</li>
<li>Front-end profile management</li>
<li>Privacy exporter and eraser support for supported plugin data</li>
<li>Optional uninstall cleanup controls</li>
</ul>
<p>BLR Backline is self-contained. Its dashboard assets are bundled locally with the plugin and are scoped to the BLR Backline interface rather than being loaded from third-party CDNs.</p>
<p>The plugin does not include telemetry, usage tracking, external analytics, or “call home” behavior.</p>
<p>Email sending for outreach and signup confirmation uses WordPress mail handling through <code>wp_mail()</code>. If you need authenticated delivery through a third-party provider, configure a dedicated SMTP or transactional mail plugin at the WordPress site level.</p>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>BLR Backline stores site-managed operational data inside WordPress for the features it provides.</p>
<p>Depending on which modules and workflows you use, the plugin may store:</p>
<ul>
<li>Release and track records</li>
<li>Contact records, including names, email addresses, phone numbers, company names, roles, websites, locations, newsletter signup flags, subscription status, and internal notes</li>
<li>Fan signup submissions, including email address, optional first name, signup timestamp, source label, tag details, confirmation status, and confirmation timestamps where applicable</li>
<li>Outreach campaigns and outreach logs, including recipient email address, delivery status, sent timestamp, notes, and recorded error messages</li>
<li>Event, task, finance, and notification records created by authorized users</li>
<li>Plugin settings related to dashboard access and behavior</li>
</ul>
<p>The plugin does not send analytics or telemetry to the plugin author.</p>
<p>The plugin sends outreach email and signup confirmation email only through WordPress mail handling. If the site owner configures an SMTP or transactional mail plugin, email may then be relayed through that separately configured provider.</p>
<p>BLR Backline includes integration with WordPress personal data export and erasure tools for supported contact and outreach log data, including supported newsletter confirmation details.</p>
<p>Site owners are responsible for using the plugin in a way that complies with applicable privacy, consent, marketing, and email laws and platform policies.</p>
<p>If uninstall cleanup is enabled in the plugin settings, plugin-owned data can be removed during uninstall. If uninstall cleanup is not enabled, plugin data is left in place.</p>
