Our Policies

At The Pack, policies are more than documents—they’re the foundation of everything we do. They keep us accountable to our cooperative principles, ensure fairness and transparency for artists and listeners, and protect the cultural and creative rights that make local music so vibrant. From our Code of Ethics and Data Sovereignty Policy to our commitments on cultural preservation, ethical AI, and responsible investment, these guiding frameworks help us build a platform you can trust. Explore our policies linked below to see how we put artists first at every step.
