Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 16, 2026

TuneVote ("we", "us", or "our") operates the TuneVote web application (the "Service"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.

We use your data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Data you provide

  • • Session name / nickname (when you choose to provide one)
  • • Song suggestions & votes
  • • Optional: email (for host accounts / artist verification)

Automatically collected

  • • IP address & approximate location
  • • Browser type, device info, OS
  • • Session timestamps & activity logs
  • • Usage analytics (via Google Analytics)

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data to:

  • Operate and maintain live collaborative music sessions
  • Enable real-time voting and queue sorting
  • Show currently active / trending sessions on the landing page
  • Generate aggregated "Top Songs / Artists" charts
  • Improve the app experience & detect abuse
  • Communicate with hosts / artists (if account exists)

3. Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell your personal data. We may share data only:

  • With hosting/analytics providers (Google Analytics, Cloudflare, etc.)
  • When required by law or to protect our rights
  • In aggregated / anonymized form (e.g. top charts)

4. Data Retention & Security

We keep session-related data only as long as necessary for the active session and short-term analytics (usually up to 30–90 days). Security measures include encryption in transit (HTTPS), access controls, and regular security reviews.

No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure — we cannot guarantee absolute security.

  • Object to / restrict processing (where applicable under GDPR/CCPA)

6. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed to children under 13 (or 16 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected such data, we will delete it.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
