PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy describes how VibeAiVerse ("we," "our," or "us"), operated by Sonya Smith in North Carolina, USA, collects, uses, and shares information about you when you access or use our platform, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By using the Service you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this Policy.

We collect information you provide directly to us, such as your name, username, email address, password, payment information, and any content you upload or post. We also collect information generated by your use of the Service, including listening history, stream counts, play duration, search queries, and interaction data. Additionally, we automatically collect technical information such as IP address, device type, operating system, browser type, and referring URLs.

We use the information we collect to: provide, operate, and improve the Service; process payments and manage subscriptions; calculate and distribute creator payouts; send transactional and promotional communications (you may opt out of marketing emails at any time); personalise your experience; enforce our Terms of Service and other policies; detect and prevent fraud or abuse; and comply with applicable legal obligations.

We may share your information with: service providers who assist us in operating the platform, including Stripe for payment processing and cloud hosting providers, under appropriate data-processing agreements; creators whose music you stream (aggregate, anonymised data only — never individual user identities); other users to the extent your profile is public; and law enforcement or government authorities when required by applicable law or in response to valid legal process.

We retain your personal information for as long as your account remains active or as necessary to provide the Service and comply with our legal obligations. If you request deletion of your account, we will delete or anonymise your personal information within a commercially reasonable period, except where retention is required by law or necessary for legitimate business purposes such as resolving disputes or enforcing our agreements.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to: access a copy of the personal information we hold about you; request correction of inaccurate data; request deletion of your personal information; object to or restrict certain processing activities; and data portability. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@vibeaiverse.com. We will respond to verified requests within the timeframes required by applicable law.

We implement industry-standard technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encryption of data in transit (TLS) and at rest, access controls, and regular security assessments. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to maintain your session, remember your preferences, analyse usage patterns, and improve the Service. Essential cookies are required for the Service to function. You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings or any cookie-management tool we provide, though disabling certain cookies may affect Service functionality.

VibeAiVerse is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take prompt steps to delete that information. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us at privacy@vibeaiverse.com.

The Service may contain links to third-party websites, applications, or services that are not owned or controlled by VibeAiVerse. This Privacy Policy applies only to the Service. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy practices, or policies of any third-party sites or services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you visit.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy and, where appropriate, by sending an email to the address associated with your account or displaying a notice within the Service. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy.

This Privacy Policy is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes arising from this Policy shall be subject to the dispute resolution provisions set out in our Terms of Service.
