Privacy Policy

• Your email address, to sign you in with a one-time code and to send essential account emails.
• Profile details you enter: first name, birthday (we show only your age), gender, who you want to see, your city and its approximate coordinates, an optional tagline, and your age and distance preferences.
• Your Ten: the ten songs you pick, their order, any liner notes, a title and its kind.
• What you do in the app: likes (including which song and any note), skips, matches, messages, songs you share, blocks and reports.
• Billing status if you subscribe to The Album. Payments are handled by Stripe; we never see or store your card number.
• Technical data such as IP address and device/browser information, used for security, rate limiting and fixing bugs.

We don’t ask for photos, and there’s nowhere to upload one. We don’t connect to your streaming accounts: song details and 30-second previews come from Apple’s public iTunes catalogue.

• To run the service: build your Rotation, calculate Harmony, deliver likes, matches and messages.
• To sign you in and send account emails (sign-in codes, important changes).
• To keep people safe: review reports, enforce our Terms and prevent abuse.
• To manage subscriptions to The Album.

Other members can see your first name, age, city, approximate distance from them, tagline, your Ten (with liner notes) and your Harmony with them. When you like someone, they can see which of their songs you picked and your note if they have The Album, or once you match. Messages are visible only to the two people in the chat.

Nobody else sees your email, your birthday or your exact coordinates.

We use service providers to run ThePlaylistDating: hosting and databases, email delivery, and Stripe for payments. They process data on our behalf and only as needed to provide their service. We don’t sell personal data, and we don’t share it with advertisers. We may disclose information if the law requires it or to protect someone’s safety.

Delete your account any time from your profile (Profile → Delete account). We immediately and permanently delete your profile, your Ten, your likes, your matches and every message. Payment records kept by Stripe are retained as tax and accounting law requires.

If you joined our waitlist, we keep your email and your place in line so we can tell you when we open. Email privacy@theplaylistdating.com to be removed.

Depending on where you live (for example under GDPR or CCPA) you can ask to access, correct, export or delete your personal data, or object to how we use it. Most of this you can do in the app; for anything else, email privacy@theplaylistdating.com.

Data travels over HTTPS. Sign-in uses one-time codes, so there’s no password to leak. Access to personal data is limited to what’s needed to run and support the service. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects your data, we’ll tell you.

ThePlaylistDating is for people 18 and over. We delete accounts we learn belong to anyone younger.

If we change this policy we’ll update the date at the top, and tell you in the app or by email if the change is significant. Questions: privacy@theplaylistdating.com.
