Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 21, 2026
1. Information We Collect
When you create a RiffCharts account, we collect your email address, username, and any profile details you choose to add — bio, location, social links, and avatar. When you upload a song, video, or picture, we store the file, its title, and any metadata you provide (album, genre). We also collect ratings, favorites, and comments you post.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to operate your account, display your public artist profile, calculate Riff Scores from community ratings, and show your uploaded content to other users. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
3. Cookies
RiffCharts uses cookies to keep you signed in and to remember basic preferences like your theme. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect your ability to stay logged in.
4. Analytics & IP Address
To measure site traffic — such as visits and unique visitors — we log the IP address of each request together with the page viewed, for logged-in and anonymous visitors alike. This data is used only in aggregate, for internal analytics, and is never sold or shared with third parties. You can opt out of this tracking at any time using the Analytics toggle on our Cookie Preferences page.
5. Content You Upload
Songs, videos, and pictures you upload remain yours. By uploading, you grant RiffCharts a license to host, display, and stream that content on the platform so other users can listen, watch, rate, and comment on it. You control whether downloads are enabled for your songs.
6. Sharing & Third Parties
We use third-party infrastructure (such as Cloudinary for media hosting) to operate RiffCharts. When you use the Share buttons, you're taken to that platform's (Facebook, X) own sharing flow, which is governed by their privacy policy, not ours.
7. Your Choices
You can edit or delete your profile information, remove uploaded songs, videos, or pictures, and delete your account at any time from Settings. Deleting your account removes your public profile and uploaded content from RiffCharts.
