Plain-English summary
Audiomack's policy involves significant data sharing, particularly for advertising purposes, across different channels with third-party partners (data_use-01, data_use-02). Users implicitly consent to broad data collection and sharing simply by using the platform (risk_flags-01). The company can also change its privacy policy at any time, with continued use constituting acceptance of new terms (risk_flags-04). While some specific mobile opt-outs are provided, users' general 'Do Not Track' requests are not honored (gotchas-04).

The company may, at its sole discretion, change the terms of the Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason. Continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance of new or changed terms.

We may, at our sole discretion, change the terms of this Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason. In the event that we do change this Privacy Policy, we will post notification of updates both within the Policy itself and via notifications throughout the Platform and specifically on the Audiomack website and mobile app. Please be sure to read all updates to the Privacy Policy thoroughly before continuing to use the Audiomack platform.

How the company collects, uses, and shares your data. Look for limitations on data use and sharing with third parties, as well as data retention policies. Ideally, data collection and retention would be limited to only that which is necessary to provide the service.
The policy states that the company shares information collected from users, such as hashed email, IP address, or browser/OS information, with identity partners/service providers like LiveRamp Inc. This information may be stored in a cookie for online, in-app, and cross-channel advertising and shared with advertising companies for interest-based and targeted advertising.
Why it matters: This practice allows third parties to use user data for targeted advertising across different platforms and channels, potentially leading to more personalized and pervasive advertising content.
When you use our platform, we share information that we collect from you, such as your email (in hashed form), IP address, or information about your browser or operating system, with our identity partners/service providers, including LiveRamp Inc. LiveRamp returns an online identification code that we may store in our first-party cookie for our use in online, in-app, and cross-channel advertising and it may be shared with advertising companies to enable interest-based and targeted advertising.
The company partners with third parties that collect information across various channels, including offline and online, for delivering more relevant advertising. These partners may place or recognize cookies and collect information like IP address, browser/OS type, and demographic/inferred-interest information. This allows them to recognize users across different channels and platforms over time for advertising, analytics, attribution, and reporting purposes.
Why it matters: This extensive data collection across multiple channels by third parties means that user data can be compiled and used for highly targeted advertising that follows users across various online and offline interactions, potentially with limited transparency.
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.
Data and information collected by Audiomack may be shared with reputable third parties in the company's sole discretion to enhance the Platform, its analytics, and services.
Why it matters: While the policy states 'reputable' third parties, the company retains broad discretion to decide with whom and for what purposes data is shared, which could include partners whose data practices users may not prefer.
Data and information Audiomack collects on you (as described above) that Audiomack may in their sole discretion share with reputable third parties in hopes of enhancing the Platform, its analytics and services.
Audiomack and its third-party partners use cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, web storage, and device IDs 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.
Why it matters: This widespread use of tracking technologies allows the company and its partners to collect a detailed profile of user behavior, preferences, and location for advertising and analytics purposes, which may be more pervasive than some users expect or prefer.
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 Audiomack 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.
