Privacy Policy

Bachata FM ("we", "our" or "bachata.fm") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it and the rights you have over it when you use our website and services.

Information you provide directly:

• Name and email address when you register or sign in.
• Profile photo (if you use Google Sign-In).
• Any content you submit through contact forms.

Information collected automatically:

• Usage data: pages visited, session duration and actions taken.
• Device data: browser type, operating system and IP address.
• Cookies and similar technologies (see section 6).

We use the information collected to:

• Provide and improve the Service.
• Manage your account and authenticate your identity.
• Personalise your experience (e.g., remembering your Top 20 votes).
• Send you service-related communications (if you opt in).
• Analyse traffic and site usage for statistical purposes.

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share it with:

• Service providers: Firebase (Google) for authentication, database and storage; Vercel for web hosting.
• Analytics tools: Google Analytics for anonymised traffic statistics.
• Legal requirements: if required by law to disclose information to comply with a legal process or protect rights.

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as necessary to provide the Service. You can request the deletion of your account and data at any time by writing to us at privacy@bachata.fm.

We use essential cookies for site operation (session, language preferences) and analytics cookies to understand how the Service is used. You can disable non-essential cookies in your browser settings, though some features may be affected.

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. However, no Internet transmission is 100% secure.

The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we discover we have collected data from a minor, we will delete it immediately.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate information.
• Request deletion of your data.
• Object to the processing of your data.
• Request data portability.
