What happens to my royalty data with most music distributors?

With many distributors, your royalty and sales data is processed on third-party reporting platforms, and with distributors owned by or funded by majors, that data can end up visible to the very companies you compete with. limbo/ is different: royalty reporting runs on Curve, the royalty platform regulators required Universal Music Group to divest and that Merlin co-owns since August 2026. Your data sits on the independent sector’s own platform rather than a major’s, and is never shared with major labels. See limbo/Royalties.
