  1. Sharing Your Personal Data

This section sets out the categories of recipients of the personal data collected or generated through your use of the Mofity Service.

Publicly available information

The following personal data will always be publicly available on the Mofity Service:

  • Your profile name
  • Your profile photo
  • Your public playlists
  • Who you follow on the Mofity Service
  • Who follows you on the Mofity Service (you can remove followers)

Personal data you may choose to share

We will only share the following personal data with those outlined in the table below:

  • where sharing of particular personal data is needed for the use of a Mofity Service feature, or a third party application, service or device, which you have chosen to use; or
  • if you otherwise grant us your permission to share the personal data, e.g. by selecting the appropriate setting in the Mofity Service or by giving your consent

Third party applications, services and devices you connect to your Mofity Account

Reason for sharing is To connect your Mofity account, and/or allow you to use the Mofity Service in connection with third party applications, services or devices.
Examples of such third party applications, services and devices include: social media applications, speaker devices, televisions, automotive platforms, or voice assistants, which interact with the Mofity Service.
You can see and remove many third party connections under “Apps” in your account.

Support community

Reason for sharing is to enable you to use the Mofity Support Community service.
When you register for an account on the Mofity Support Community, we’ll ask you to create a specific profile name. This will be publicly displayed to anyone who uses the Mofity Support Community. We’ll also display any questions or comments you post.

Other Mofity users

Reason for sharing is To share information about your use of the Mofity Service with other Mofity users, including your ‘Mofity Followers’.
For example, under “Social” settings you can choose whether to share your recently played artists and your playlists on your profile.

Artists and record labels

Reason for sharing is to receive news or promotional offers directly from artists, record labels or other partners.
You may choose to share personal data (for example, your email address) for this purpose. You’ll always have the option to change your mind and withdraw your consent at any time.

Information we may share

See this table for details of who we share to and why.

Categories of recipients

Reason for sharing

Service providers

So they can provide their services to Mofity.
These service providers may include those we hire to:

  • give customer support
  • operate the technical infrastructure we need to provide the Mofity Service
  • assist in protecting and securing our systems and services (e.g. Google’s reCAPTCHA)

help market Mofity’s (and our partners’) products, services, events and promotions

Payment processors

So they can process your payments, and for anti-fraud purposes.

Advertising partners

So our ad partners can help us deliver more relevant advertising to you on the Mofity Service.
For example, our ad partners help us facilitate tailored advertising:

  • This is when we use third party information to tailor ads to be more relevant to you (also known as interest based advertising).
  • An example of a tailored ad is when an ad partner has information suggesting you like cars, which could enable us to show you ads about cars.
  • You can control tailored advertising in your account privacy settings under “Tailored Ads”.

If you are “opted out” of Tailored Ads, you may still get advertising on ad-supported services (such as podcasts or the Free Service Option) based on your registration information and ads based on the content you are streaming on our Services. For example, if you are streaming a cooking podcast, you may hear an ad for a food processor or if you are streaming a workout playlist, you may hear an ad for sports clothing.

Marketing Partners

To promote Mofity with our partners. We share some personal data with these partners where necessary to:

  • enable you to participate in Mofity promotions, including trials or other bundled offers
  • to promote Mofity in media and advertising published on other online services
  • help us and our partners to measure the effectiveness of Mofity promotions


Examples of partners include:

  • marketing or sponsorship partners
  • websites and mobile apps who sell us advertising space on their services
  • device, app and mobile partners who also offer Mofity promotions


Our partners may also combine the personal data we share with them with other data they collect about you (e.g. your use of their services). We and our partners may use this information to present you with offers, promotions, or other marketing activities that we believe will be relevant to you.

Other partner sharing

We may share personal data with partners to help us understand and improve the performance of our products and partnerships.
You can see and remove many partner connections under “Apps” in your account.

Academic researchers

For activities such as statistical analysis and academic study, but only in a pseudonymised format. Pseudonymised data is where your data is identified by a code rather than your name or other information that directly identifies you.

Other Mofity group companies

Where we have offices, to carry out our daily business operations and so we can maintain and provide the Mofity Service to you.

Law enforcement and other authorities

When we believe in good faith it’s necessary for us to do so, for example:

  • to comply with a legal obligation
  • to respond to a valid legal process (such as a search warrant, court order, or subpoena)
  • for our own or a third party’s justifiable interest, relating to:
    • national security
    • law enforcement
    • litigation (a court case)
    • criminal investigation
    • protecting someone’s safety

preventing death or imminent bodily harm.

Purchasers of our business

Where we sell or negotiate to sell our business to a buyer or possible buyer.
In this situation, Mofity will continue to ensure your personal data is kept confidential. We’ll give you notice before your personal data is transferred to the buyer or a different privacy policy starts to apply.

 

  1. Data Retention and Deletion

Retention

We keep your personal data only as long as necessary to provide you with the Mofity Service and for Mofity's legitimate and essential business purposes, such as:

  • maintaining the performance of the Mofity Service
  • making data-driven business decisions about new features and offerings
  • complying with our legal obligations
  • resolving disputes

Deletion

If you close or request that we close your account, we'll delete or anonymise your personal data so it no longer identifies you, unless we're required to keep something or we still need to use it for a legally justifiable reason.

Here are some examples of situations where we're legally allowed or required to keep some of your personal data:

  • if there's an unresolved issue relating to your account, such as an outstanding credit or unresolved claim or dispute
  • for our legal, tax, audit and accounting obligations
  • for our legitimate business interests such as fraud prevention or to maintain security.
  1. Transfer to other countries

When carrying out the activities described in this Policy, Mofity shares your personal data internationally with Mofity group companies, subcontractors and partners. They may process your data in countries whose data protection laws are not considered to be as strong as EU laws or the laws which apply where you live. For example, they may not give you the same rights over your data.

Whenever we transfer personal data internationally, we use tools to:

  • make sure the data transfer complies with applicable law
  • help to give your data the same level of protection as it has in the EU

We do this using a variety of protections, as appropriate for each data transfer. For example, we use:

  • Standard Contractual Clauses(or an alternative legal tool) to require the third party to protect your data and to provide you with EU-level rights and protections
  • technical protections, such as encryption and pseudonymisation
  • policies and processes to challenge disproportionate or unlawful government authority requests

You can exercise your rights under the Standard Contractual Clauses by contacting us or the third party who processes your personal data.

  1. Keeping Your Personal Data Safe

We're committed to protecting our users' personal data. We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to help protect the security of your personal data. However, be aware that no system is ever completely secure.

We have implemented various safeguards including pseudonymisation, encryption, access, and retention policies to guard against unauthorised access and unnecessary retention of personal data in our systems.

To protect your user account, we encourage you to:

  • use a strong password that is unique to your Mofity account
  • never share your password with anyone
  • limit access to your computer and browser
  • log out once you have finished using the Mofity Service on a shared device
  • read more detail on protecting your account

You can log out of Mofity in multiple places at once by using the "Sign out everywhere" function on your account page.

If other individuals have access to your Mofity account (for example if you've given them permission to use your account on a shared device), then they can access personal data, controls and the Mofity Service available in your account.

It's your responsibility to only provide individuals with permission to use your account where you're comfortable sharing this personal data with them. Anyone else's use of your Mofity account may impact your personalised recommendations and be included in your data download.

  1. Children

Note: This Policy doesn't apply to Mofity Kids, unless the Mofity Kids Privacy Policy says so. Mofity Kids is a separate Mofity application.

The Mofity Service has a minimum "Age Limit" in each country. The Mofity Service is not directed to children whose age:

  • is under the age of 13 years
  • or, makes it illegal to process their personal data
  • or, requires parental consent to process their personal data

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the applicable Age Limit. If you're under the Age Limit, please do not use the Mofity Service, and do not provide any personal data to us. Instead, we recommend using a Mofity Kids account.

If you're a parent of a child under the Age Limit and become aware that your child has provided personal data to Mofity, please contact us.

If we learn that we've collected the personal data of a child under the applicable Age Limit, we'll take reasonable steps to delete the personal data. This may require us to delete the Mofity account for that child.

When using a shared device on the main Mofity Service, you should be cautious about playing or recommending any content to individuals under 18 years old which could be inappropriate for them.

  1. Changes to this Policy

We may occasionally make changes to this Policy.

When we make material changes to this Policy, we'll provide you with prominent notice as appropriate under the circumstances. For example, we may display a prominent notice within the Mofity Service or send you an email or device notification.

  1. How to contact us

For any questions or concerns about this Policy, contact our Data Protection Officer any one of these ways:

You can also visit our Privacy Center for more clarification of this Policy.
