Why we use information
We use information to provide accounts and community features, moderate submissions, prevent abuse, respond to requests, send requested newsletters, maintain reliability, measure usage where permitted and comply with legal obligations.
Public information
Display names, avatars, public biographies, published playlists, badges and public links may be visible to anyone and indexed by search engines.
Legal grounds
Depending on the activity and applicable law, processing may rely on an agreement with you, consent, legal obligations, legitimate interests or legal claims.
Spotify and external media
Loading an official Spotify player connects your browser to Spotify and may allow Spotify or its partners to process technical information under their terms. Where configured, players remain blocked until external media is enabled. Direct links remain available.
Analytics, advertising and newsletters
Configured analytics loads according to the consent model. Sensitive form data is not intentionally sent to analytics. Sponsored content is labeled. Newsletter consent is separate from account creation and every marketing email includes an unsubscribe option.
Security and anti-abuse
Temporary technical identifiers, session information and security logs may be processed to prevent automated registrations, brute force, fake ratings, spam, fraud and malicious uploads. Identifiers are reduced or hashed where practical.
Sharing and transfers
Limited information may be shared with providers needed for hosting, email, backups, analytics, security, advertising, professional advice or legal compliance. The owner must complete the provider inventory before launch.
Retention
Information is retained only as reasonably necessary for its purpose, including security, moderation, disputes and legal requirements. Expired tokens are removed, active account data is retained while needed, and backups follow the configured schedule.
Your rights
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights of access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, consent withdrawal and complaint. Contact info@poprock.club. Identity verification may be required.
Account deletion and children
Deletion can be requested in account settings. Some records may be anonymized or retained for limited security or legal reasons. The default minimum account age is 16 unless legally reviewed and configured otherwise.
Security, changes and complaints
Reasonable safeguards are used, but no online service guarantees absolute security. Material policy changes may be communicated on the website or through account notices. Privacy questions can be sent to info@poprock.club. You may also contact the Personal Data Protection Agency of North Macedonia or another competent authority.
