Privacy Policy

Purpose

This policy indicates how and why we collect personal information from a data subject

In general, this policy indicates how and why we collect and process personal information.

Due to the nature of our audio services business, we are involved in the collection and processing of personal information of our customers, prospective customers and other persons who interact or attempt to transact with us. Any person whose information we collect is known as a “data subject” in this policy.

In compliance with the South-Africa Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013, we commit to processing the personal information of data subjects lawfully and in a reasonable manner.

Data

We collect but do not link or share personal and activity data.

We use technologies like cookies (small files stored by your browser), web beacons, or unique device identifiers to anonymously identify your computer or device so we can deliver a better experience. Our systems also log information like your browser, operating system and IP address.

We only collect personally identifiable information that you provide to us to when creating an account on our platform. This requires email and may include optional fields such as name, address, phone number, gender, date of birth and preferences settings. When using our Facebook or Google login functionality, we may gather this information from those platforms.

Our systems are not designed to associate personal information with your activities (such as pages you view, links you click, searches you make or audio you consume). We do not knowingly contact or collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us so we can promptly obtain parental consent or remove the information.
