Personal information we collect

We collect the following types of personal information about you when you access our Platforms:

  • Communications to us: Your communications to us, including any feedback, comments, queries, issue reports, or other communications that you send to us.
  • Any other information that you provide to us with your permissions, consents or preferences.

Information we collect when you use our Platforms:

When you use our Platforms, we collect certain types of Information about how you use or access our Platforms. This includes:

  • Usage data:  Data collected and processed about you when you access the Platforms, such as your search queries, products/ songs you browse or songs that you play/ share/ download, playlists you create, songs you mark as ‘favourite’, your account settings, times at which you access the Platforms, time spent on certain pages, inferences of your interests and preferences based on your usage.
  • Technical data: Technical data may include data about the devices, software and technology you use such as hardware model, operating system, IP address, preferred languages, unique device identifiers, advertising identifiers, serial numbers, device motion data, mobile network data and web browser details.
  • General or approximate location data: General location data, such as your city, region, or country. This may be understood from technical data such as your IP address, language setting of your device, manual selection of your location, or payment currency.
  • Cookies: We use cookies or other similar technologies to recognise your device, remember you and support the continuity of your experience. Cookies are files which are downloaded to your device when you access our website or web apps.
  • Purchase or transactional data: Transactional details, such as details about your purchase orders, delivery address and the payments to and from your accounts with us. However, we do not store and do not have access to your financial information such as your bank account numbers, credit/ debit card numbers, or UPI handle.
  • App-specific: App-specific permissions, such as Bluetooth, SMS, and other permissions. Most app-specific permissions require manual approval by you. If you have given Platforms access to non-essential permissions, but wish to turn them, you can do so through your phone’s settings. The app may not function in case you revoke certain essential app permissions.  For instance, our physical products like the Carvaan device would require mandatory Bluetooth permissions to integrate with the Platforms and function. Since app permissions can change from time to time, we may provide additional information about specific app permissions within the app, or on the platform-specific app store, such as on the App Store or Play Store.

Information we receive from other sources:

We may receive information about you from third parties, such as authentication partners, or advertising and marketing partners. If you use a different account (such as Google or Facebook) to sign in to our Platforms, we receive information such as your name, email address, profile URL and profile picture. This will be explained to you by the third party when you first connect the account with the Platform.
