Effective as of January 10, 2018

This Privacy Policy helps you to make informed decisions about your relationship with us, so please read it carefully.

1 Introduction
The Privacy Policy is here to do three things:

a)   Explain the way we use information that you share with us in order to build a great product and give you a great experience with it.

b)   Ensure that you understand what information we collect with your permission, and what we do — and do not do — with it.

c)   Hold us accountable for protecting your rights and your privacy under this policy. All the information we collect is related to providing our app service and its features.

There are two categories of information we collect:

1) Information that we must have in order for you to use our app.

2) Information that we can use to provide additional features and improved experiences if you choose to share that information.

The first category includes:

Registration information, including your name, birth date, address, and other information you provide when you sign up for our app.

Broad, non-specific location, which we derive from your IP address. Our licenses to deliver music and other content to you are location-specific, so we need to know what country you're in The music you listen to and your interactions with the Service. This allows us to make recommendations to you and suggest relevant content.

Technical and sensor information necessary to operate our app. This includes the type of browser and device you use, data from the touchscreen, and information from your device's accelerometer and gyroscope sensors. This enables you to control our app.

The second category includes information that enables us to offer you additional features. We never receive any of the following information unless you expressly choose to share it with us.

We will never gather or use your specific device location without first getting your explicit permission.

We will never access your photos, and we will never scan or import your photo library or camera roll.

We will never scan or import your contacts unless you ask us to.

We will never access or use your microphone.

Information in the first category is information you must provide in order to use our app. When you agree to our Privacy Policy, you give us the right to collect this information and use it for the purposes described. Information in the second category is information we will only collect if you explicitly give us permission to do so in the future. Acceptance of our Privacy Policy does not mean you have granted us permission to access or use information in the second category; we're just explaining to you that we could ask you for that permission.

In some contexts, we will share certain information. For example, like most services, if you sign up for our app through a third party like Facebook or a mobile provider, we share some information with them and they share some information with us in order to enable your account. And we also share de-identified information with our music industry partners to help them understand how the content they license to us is performing, with marketing partners who help us with promotional efforts, and with advertisers that allow us to offer a free service. There also may be times when you want us to share information. For example, when you make playlists, you might want those playlists to be visible to your friends… and you might not. Similarly, you can ask us to share information (like your email address) with artists or record labels, or other partners who may want to directly send you news or promotional offers, but you can also revoke that permission at any time.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know. Throughout this Privacy Policy we refer to the our app Service or the Service. These terms are defined in our Terms and Conditions of Use (the "Terms and Conditions of Use").

2 Key highlights of what you're consenting to

The collection, use, sharing, and other processing of your information, including for advertising-related purposes (as described in the rest of this Privacy Policy, so please keep on reading!).

The public availability of your information and the controls over such information as described in Sharing information.
