Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information Drum Circle ("we", "us") collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. This page is maintained by the Drum Circle team to answer common privacy questions about the Service. It is not a substitute for legal advice.

Information we collect

• Account information — username, email (if you sign in), and authentication identifiers from providers like Google.
• Content you submit — directory listings, messages, and any text or audio you choose to share in a live room.
• Technical data — IP address, browser type, device, approximate location derived from IP, and usage events needed to run and secure the Service.
• Cookies — see our Cookie Policy.

How we use information

• To operate live rooms, voice chat, and the directory.
• To moderate content and prevent abuse.
• To improve the Service and understand how it is used.
• To communicate with you about the Service.
• To comply with legal obligations.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information with service providers that help us run the Service (hosting, authentication, analytics, email delivery), and when required by law. Directory listings you submit are public by design.

Voice & live audio

Live voice in rooms is transmitted in real time to other participants in the same room. We do not record voice chat unless explicitly stated. Treat anything you say in a live room as public to the people in that room.

Your choices

• Access, update, or delete your account by contacting us.
• Opt out of non-essential cookies via your browser.
• Request a copy of your data.

Children's privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

International users

We operate globally and may process your information outside your home country. By using the Service you consent to that processing.

Security

We use industry-standard safeguards to protect your information, including encrypted transport (HTTPS) and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be announced on the site.
