Privacy Policy

The Short Version

• We don't sell your data.
• We don't share your data with advertisers or data brokers.
• We only collect what we need to run the jukebox, track plays, and improve the experience.

Who We Are

Suffering Jukebox is a fan-built music explorer that started with the Silver Jews and Purple Mountains catalogs and has grown to include other artists added by the community, hosted at www.sufferingjukebox.stream. It's a Johnny Outlaw project. Questions? Email support@outlawapps.online.

What We Collect

1. Account information

When you sign in with Google, we receive and store:

• Your email address
• Your display name
• Your profile photo

Sign-in is optional. You can browse and listen without an account, but some features (playlists, personal play counts) require it.

2. Listening & interaction data

When you use the jukebox, we store activity tied to your session or account so the app can work:

• Play events: which tracks you played, when, and for how long (plays are logged after ~10 seconds of playback)
• Ratings: thumbs up/down votes on tracks
• Playlists: names, track lists, and public/private setting for playlists you create
• Feedback: comments you leave on tracks, if you choose to
• Lyrics edits: corrections you submit and their edit history
• Artist submissions: YouTube artists, channels, or playlists you add to the site's community catalog

Anonymous visitors also get a random device ID stored in your browser so we can count unique listeners without requiring sign-in.

3. Analytics

To understand how the site is used and improve it, we collect basic session data for all visitors (signed in or not), including:

• Pages visited and how long you stay on the site
• Referring link or campaign (e.g. Gmail, a shared link, or direct visit)
• Browser type, device type, and operating system
• Your IP address, which we store with the visit and use to derive an approximate city and country
• A random session ID stored in your browser for the visit

This data helps us understand traffic and fix problems. We do not use it for advertising profiles or sell it to anyone. The city and country are worked out from your IP address on our own servers using our hosting provider's network data, so your IP address is not sent to any third-party geolocation service.

4. Local browser storage

We store a few small preferences on your device so the app remembers your choices:

• Light/dark theme
• Your rating votes (synced to the server when signed in)
• Filter and display preferences
• Lyrics font size

YouTube

Playback uses the embedded YouTube player. When you play a track, YouTube may collect data according to Google's Privacy Policy. We don't control what YouTube collects. We just embed their player.

How We Use Your Data

We use your data for one purpose: making Suffering Jukebox work. Specifically:

• Powering play counts, ratings, and personal stats
• Saving and sharing your playlists
• Showing admin metrics to site operators (aggregated, not sold)
• Understanding traffic and improving performance

That's it. We are not in the business of monetizing your information.

What We Don't Do

• We do not sell your personal data to anyone.
• We do not share your data with third-party advertisers or data brokers.
• We do not run ads on Suffering Jukebox.
• We do not use your data to build profiles for advertising purposes.

Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored securely using Supabase, a hosted database platform with industry-standard security practices. Data is transmitted over HTTPS. IP addresses and email addresses are readable only by the site operators, never by other visitors: the public parts of the app can see play counts, ratings and lyrics history, but not the IP address or email address behind them.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the data we have on you
• Request correction or deletion of your account and associated data

To request a copy of your data or deletion, contact us at support@outlawapps.online.

Children's Privacy

Suffering Jukebox is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Changes to This Policy

If we make meaningful changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of Suffering Jukebox after any changes means you accept the updated policy.
