UA-125274153-1

Effective December 23, 2020

Since day one, Wlojii has cared deeply about privacy and respecting our users. Protecting your data is extremely important to us, and this page will help you understand how and why we collect, store, transmit, protect, and delete your data.

Our Privacy Policy is designed to do two things: protect individual user privacy, and support free listening that pays artists, labels, and content creators.

Listeners deserve a great music service even if they can’t afford a monthly subscription. To make this work on Wlojii, we use digital advertising to pay artists for plays and invest in improving our service. This model is designed to provide access to streaming music without compromising individual privacy. Our users are anonymous to advertisers, and can delete their data from our system completely whenever they decide to.

Before we get into all the details, let’s talk about your rights as an Wlojii user. We’ve put together a User Bill of Rights, written in plain english, that clearly outlines how and when your data is used on our platforms.

User Bill of Rights

1 - Wlojii will only collect the minimum amount of data necessary.

Wlojii will only collect and store the absolute minimum amount of data possible to effectively run our platform. We will, for example, store data on what songs you play on our platform to enable better recommendations in the future, let artists know when their music is being listened to, and provide our label partners with aggregate stream counts necessary for accounting.

2 - Wlojii does not sell data.

Many apps, both ad-supported and subscription based, take their user data and sell it to data brokers, location companies, and other third parties for a lump sum or recurring payment. Wlojii does not sell your personal data to third parties, period.

3 - Wlojii does not transmit private or sensitive data to ad providers.

We need to run ads to keep our service alive. When you stream a song on Wlojii, a rightsholder (artist, record label, etc) gets paid out on that stream, meaning we must create some revenue in exchange for your usage of the platform. For users who do not want to subscribe, this means we must run ads.

Examples of data we may transfer to advertisers are IDFA or Android Advertising ID for app users, non-identifiable browser information for web users (language, browser name, e.g. Chrome or Safari, etc), genre of a song being listened to, and location to ensure ads reach a user in the correct country and city.

Most importantly, we do not allow ad providers to tie an ad request (when your mobile device or browser “requests” an ad on page load) to your Wlojii profile. An ad provider does not, for example, receive your name, username, email address, photo, listening history, or phone number as part of the ad request.

4 - You may request account and data deletion at any time, for any reason.

If you want to delete your account and your personal data, you can contact us by sending an email to privacy@Wlojii.com from the email address associated with your account OR by logging into your account and submitting a support ticket requesting that Wlojii erase any and all personal data tied to your account. Alternatively, you may delete your account using our user dashboard.

5 - Wlojii will take all reasonable steps to protect your account and data.

We use best-in-class data storage systems, encryption, and vendors to ensure your data and account on Wlojii stay secure.

In the next sections, we’ll dive into a lot more detail about how data is collected, stored, and protected on our platform. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to support@Wlojii.com.

Any information you provide in your public profile (username, name, location, social media feeds) and/or use of the Platform (plays, favorites, following, re-ups, playlists) is public and may be seen by other users on the Platform or by Wlojii administrators.

Information we share:

Wlojii uses several reputable third party partners and services, based in the U.S., to enhance the functionality, reliability, utility, and profitability of the Platform and to provide certain specialized services for our administrators and users. We may also store your email address, device id, and other tokens in services that enable us to send targeted messages to you via email, push notification, and on-platform messaging. Although Wlojii is not responsible for the Privacy Policy or Data Security of said third party services, we emphasize data security and integrity as a top priority when selecting which partners to work with.

Wlojii will disclose your personal information in any case where it is necessary to do so to comply with a criminal complaint, subpoena, court order, or legitimate law enforcement inquiry.

Wlojii may disclose your personal information if we feel it is necessary to do so to protect our intellectual property, rights, business interests, or the safety or reliability of our platform, users, employees, or stakeholders.

Wlojii may transfer your information to any person or party that acquires all or a substantial portion of our company or assets, or in the case of a merger, acquisition, or if the company becomes insolvent.

Notwithstanding any other provision, we partner with third parties that collect information across various channels, including offline and online, for purposes of delivering more relevant advertising to you or your business. Our partners may place or recognize a cookie on your computer, device, or directly in our emails/communications, and we may share personal information with them if you have submitted such information to us, such as device ID. Our partners may link the hashed or obfuscated personal information we share with them to the cookie stored on your browser or device, and they may collect information such as your IP address, browser or operating system type and version, and demographic or inferred-interest information. Our partners use this information to recognize you across different channels and platforms, including but not limited to, computers, mobile devices, and Smart TVs, over time for advertising, analytics, attribution, and reporting purposes. For example, our partners may deliver an ad to you in your web browser based on a purchase you made in a physical retail store, or they may send a personalized marketing email to you based on the fact that you visited a particular website. Your data may be transferred outside of the country from which it was originally collected.

5 - How we use cookies and technology

Wlojii uses cookies and related technology to enhance the Platform, provide you with a consistent experience, record login and registration information, and to serve you more relevant advertisements. Some ads served by third parties may use limited information about you and your interaction with the Platform to enhance the targeting or retargeting of advertisements and marketing campaigns.

You may refuse to accept cookies from the Wlojii and/or the Platform by declining the Desktop Notification policy that appeared to you the first time you viewed Wlojii’s Desktop Platform(s). You may refuse to share your mobile advertising identifier (commonly known as IDFA) in our iOS app by enabling the Limit Ad Tracking feature in iOS settings.

A cookie is a small file placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website which helps our site and our 3rd party advertising and data partners recognize your device the next time you visit the site. Cookies are essential for many simple functions such as recognizing a repeat visitor as logged in, and providing access to your account, favorites, playlists, and profile. Wlojii utilizes two common types of cookies - session based cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay active until deleted or deactivate after a set period of time). Other technologies include pixel tags (transparent images which help us determine if a page or email has been viewed by a user), web beacons (also known as web bugs, which serve a similar function to pixel tags), and web storage. Additionally, mobile users may be tracked using Device ID and/or hashed data to identify repeat mobile usage. These combined technologies are used both by Wlojii and our 3rd party partners to ensure essential Platform functionality; target, serve, measure, and track advertising delivery, targeting, optimization, and performance; measure Platform analytics and usage; and to measure user and audience behavior, trends, demographics, and location.

Wlojii does not currently respond to or acknowledge Do Not Track (DNT) requests sent via desktop or mobile web browsers. Wlojii does currently respect iOS Limit Ad Tracking (LAT) settings as set by the user on an individual device.

6 - Accessing and updating your information

You may update your personal information at any time by visiting your Dashboard page in your user profile. Please bear in mind that profile data that is updated may take a few hours or another reasonable period of time to update internally.

Your data will be deleted from Wlojii’s servers if you delete your account which can be done by accessing your account on our desktop site and clicking the “Delete account” button. However, please bear in mind that it may still show up on internet search engines for some time after deletion due to caching.

Please note, logging out of or deleting the mobile app from your device does not delete your user account.

Users accessing Wlojii from an Android or iOS mobile device may opt out of any sales of their personal information by using their mobile platform settings (on iOS, by enabling the “Limit Ad Tracking” setting, and on Android devices, by enabling the “Opt out of Ads Personalization” setting).

7 - Transfer to other countries/territories

Wlojii Inc. is based in the United States and follows all applicable U.S. laws concerning data storage and privacy. Although our third party providers and services are based in the United States, there may in some circumstances be cases where data is transmitted to servers outside of the U.S. as part of the normal operation of the Platform. Please be aware that not all countries have the same data storage and privacy laws as the United States, and by using the Wlojii Platform you consent to the storage, transfer, collection, and transmission of your data to other territories as necessary.

10 - Changes to our Privacy Policy
