Our Privacy Principles
Collaboarator is committed to putting users first and believes you should know what
data we collect about you, why we collect it, and how we use and share it. That’s why
we’ve designed this Privacy Policy to give you simple, clear, and actionable information
about our privacy and data protection practices.
We believe users should also have meaningful choices over the data we collect, use and
share as described in this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to take full
advantage of these tools so you can make the best decisions about the data you share.
Information We Collect
All the personal information we collect is related to providing the Platform and its
features and falls into three general categories:
- Information you provide to us
- Information collected automatically
- Information we obtain from third parties
Information You Provide
We ask for and collect the below personal information when you use the Platform. This
information is necessary for the adequate performance of the contract between you and
us and to allow us to comply with our legal obligations.
We process this information in light of our legitimate interest in improving the Platform
and giving our users the best experience, and where it is necessary for the adequate
performance of the contract between us and you. Without it, we may not be able to
provide you with all the requested services and features of the Platform.
You don’t need to register for a Collaboarator account in order to visit our Platform.
However, certain Services require that you register for an account and, by doing so,
you will need to provide us with certain information. This information will be publicly
accessible and may be viewed by anyone accessing the Website, or using our API or other Services.
Please bear this in mind when considering whether to provide any additional information about
yourself:
- Profile Information - you may choose, at your discretion, to provide
additional information for your public profile on Collaboarator – for example: description, search distance,
and email preference.
-
Communications - When you communicate with Collaboarator by email or
through the Platform, or use the Platform to communicate with other users,
we collect information about your communication and any information you
choose to provide.
-
Survey Information - If you participate in any survey, you may provide
certain personal data as part of your response, unless you respond
anonymously.
-
Information You Post - You may provide personal data when you upload
Content to the Platform, or when you post comments, or contribute to
community discussions.
Information we Collect Automatically
There is certain information that we collect automatically as the result of your use of
the Platform, or through the use of cookies and other web analytics services as
described in our Cookie Policy. This information generally includes:
- Usage Information - We collect information about your interactions with the
Platform, including the pages that you visit and links you click on, streaming,
offline listening or downloading tracks, uploading or recording tracks,
connecting your Facebook, Google, or Spotify account, sharing Content with another
user, following or unfollowing another user, posting a comment, performing a search,
the time, frequency and duration of your visits to the Platform, and whether you
interact with email messages,
for example, if you opened, clicked on, or forwarded the email message.
-
Log Data – We automatically collect log information when you use the
Platform, even if you have not registered for an account or logged in. That
information includes, among other things: details about how you’ve used the
Platform (including links to third party sites or services), Internet Protocol
(IP) address, access times, your browser type and operating system, device
information, device event information (e.g., crashes, browser type), and the
page you’ve viewed or engaged with before or after using the Platform.
-
Cookies – We use cookies and other similar technologies, such as pixels, local
storage, and mobile device identifiers and may also allow our business
partners to use these tracking technologies on the Platform, or engage others
to track your behavior on our behalf. For more information on our use of
these technologies, see our Cookie Policy.
-
Location Data – When you use certain features of the Platform, we may
collect data about your general location (e.g. IP address). We use this data to
provide you with location-based services (such as advertising and
personalized content). Most mobile devices allow you to control or disable the
use of location services for applications in the device’s settings.
-
Device Information – We collect information from and about the devices you
use, including how you interact with the Platform and information about
device itself, such as the hardware model, operating system, IP addresses,
cookie information, device settings, mobile device and advertising identifiers,
apps installed, browser type, language, battery level and time zone. Apple’s
iOS Advertising Identifier (IDFA) and Google’s Android Advertising ID are
examples of device identifiers. This information allows us to recognize and
associate your activity, and provide personalized content and advertising,
consistently across all of your devices
-
Software Development Kits – We may use third parties including our business
partners and service providers who use mobile SDKs to collect information
and information related to how mobile devices interact with the Platform. An
SDK is computer code that app developers can include in their apps to enable
ads to be shown, data to be collected and related services and functionality
to be implemented. A mobile SDK is in effect the mobile app version of a
pixel tag or beacon. We may use this technology, for instance, to analyze
how you interact with content and advertisements and to enable analytics or
other features through mobile devices.
-
Collaboarator Widget – Other websites may integrate Collaboarator widgets;
when you visit a website with a Collaboarator widget embedded, we may
receive certain information, including information about the website you
visited. Collaboarator and the widget may be able to recognize you, and in
some cases the widget may be used to show personalized content. We know
when you interact with a widget, and websites containing the widgets may
receive this information as well.

Facebook, Google, or Spotify.
