By using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

Information we collect

Information you provide directly

• Account information. When you create an account, we collect:
  • Email and password if you sign up with email/password authentication.
  • Name, email address, profile picture, and a unique account identifier from Google (and, in the future, Apple) if you sign in with those providers.
• Username. A username is required to use Track One. Your username is publicly visible to other users of the Service.
• Profile information. Optional details you add to your profile, such as a bio or avatar.
• Content you create.Records you log (“spins”), the people you follow, comments, reactions, and other activity within the app.

Information collected automatically

• Usage data. We use Firebase Analytics and Amplitude to understand how the Service is used — for example, which screens are viewed, which features are used, and aggregate session information. This data is associated with a randomly generated identifier and, where applicable, your account ID. For signed-in users, your authentication method (for example, email/password or Google) is also associated with your account ID in Amplitude.
• Crash and performance data. We use Firebase Crashlytics to collect information about crashes and performance issues, including device model, operating system version, and a stack trace of what the app was doing when the issue occurred.
• Device information. Basic technical information about your device, such as device type, operating system, app version, and language settings.

Information we do NOT collect

• We do not collect payment or financial information.
• We do not collect precise location data (GPS coordinates).
• We do not access your contacts, photos, microphone, or camera unless you explicitly grant permission for a specific feature.
• We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

How we use information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the Service
• Authenticate you and keep your account secure
• Display your activity to other signed-in users
• Send you emails related to the Service, including account notifications, security alerts, transactional messages (such as password resets), and occasional product updates. You can opt out of non-essential emails at any time.
• Communicate with you in response to support requests
• Analyze usage trends to improve features and fix bugs
• Comply with legal obligations

How information is shared

With other users

• Discogs. Track One uses the Discogs database to identify records. We query Discogs for catalog information; we do not share your personal information with Discogs. discogs.com (Privacy Policy)
• Email delivery providers. We use third-party email service providers to send transactional and product emails. These providers receive your email address and the contents of messages we send you, solely for the purpose of delivering those emails.
• Hosting and infrastructure providers. We use Railway and other infrastructure providers to host portions of the Service.

For legal reasons

We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of Track One, our users, or the public.

In connection with a business transfer

If Track One is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

• Analytics opt-out. To opt out of analytics, contact us at [email protected].

If you are in the European Economic Area, UK, or Switzerland

You have additional rights under the GDPR, including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data; the right to data portability; and the right to object to processing. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Our legal basis for processing your information includes: performance of a contract (providing the Service), legitimate interests (improving and securing the Service), consent (where required, such as for certain analytics), and legal obligations.

If you are in California

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you have the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete your personal information, the right to correct inaccurate information, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information.

Data retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, we delete your personal information within 30 days, except where retention is required for legal, security, or fraud-prevention purposes. Anonymized or aggregated data that cannot be linked back to you may be retained indefinitely.

Data security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS), authenticated access to our backend systems, and access controls on our infrastructure. However, no system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.

Children’s privacy

Track One is not intended for users under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will delete it.

If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you should use the Service only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

International users

Track One is operated from the United States. If you use the Service from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, which may have different data protection laws than your country.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you through the app, by email, or by updating the “Last updated” date at the top of this policy. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
