Your privacy is important to us at BeatSphere Inc. ("BeatSphere," "we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). Please read this policy carefully.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect via the Service includes:
A. Personal Data You Provide to Us
- Communications: If you contact us directly or communicate with other users through the Service (e.g., chat messages), we may collect the content of those communications.
B. Data Collected Automatically
- Location Data: With your permission, we collect your geolocation data to provide location-based services, such as showing you nearby music listeners on the map. You can disable location services through your device settings, but this may limit your ability to use certain features of the Service.
- Cookies and Similar Technologies: We may use cookies, beacons, tags, and scripts to collect and track information and to improve and analyze our Service. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for various purposes, including to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain our Service.
- Personalize and improve your experience on the Service.
- Enable you to discover and connect with other users based on location and music preferences.
- Facilitate communication between users.
- Respond to your comments, questions, and requests, and provide customer support.
- Monitor and analyze usage and trends to improve the Service.
- Send you technical notices, updates, security alerts, and administrative messages.
- For legal compliance, such as enforcing our Terms of Service.
- For other purposes with your consent.
4. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.
5. Data Retention
We will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, or as required by law (for example, for tax, accounting or other legal requirements). When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
6. Children's Privacy
Our Service is not directed to individuals under the age of 13 (or the applicable minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us.
7. Third-Party Links and Services
The Service may contain links to third-party websites or services (like Last.fm) that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
