1. Account information
When you sign in with Google, we receive and store:
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:
Anonymous visitors also get a random device ID stored in your browser so we can count unique listeners without requiring sign-in.
3. Imported listening history
If you upload a listening-history export, we process the music and listening fields you select, which may include track, artist, album, playback date and time, duration, skip status, and source-file name. We use this data to provide your private Analytics and related library features. We strip IP-address fields before saving, and do not accept a raw export file for storage.
At import, you may separately choose to contribute de-identified music listening patterns to our research and commercial-insights program. This choice is optional and is not required to import or use your private Analytics. If you opt in, we exclude raw files, account details, IP addresses, device data, podcasts, audiobooks, and other non-music activity from that program. You can withdraw the choice later; withdrawal stops future use of your source data for that program, although it may not reverse a completed aggregate that no longer reasonably identifies you.
4. Analytics
To understand how the site is used and improve it, we collect basic session data for all visitors (signed in or not), including:
This data helps us understand traffic, fix problems, and develop the service. We may create aggregated or de-identified insights from this information, but do not disclose identifiable listening histories for third parties' independent use except as described in this policy. 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.
The next three sections cover mobile background play only
Everywhere else, Suffering Jukebox plays public YouTube videos. That is what runs on a computer, and on a phone with the screen on, and it involves no uploaded files, no artist license, and no copyright intake. Uploaded audio exists for one reason: a phone cannot keep a YouTube video playing once the screen goes off. Sections 5, 6 and 7 apply to that feature and to nothing else.
5. Audio you upload for mobile background play
If you sign in and upload an audio file for a track, we store the file in our cloud storage and keep a record of:
Personal audio uploads are private to your signed-in account. They are stored in a private bucket and delivered through time-limited authorized links. They are played only when you turn on background play on a phone, and they are never used for another listener unless you separately sign the Artist Catalog License and an administrator verifies and approves the audio for public mobile background play. You should only upload audio you have the right to store and personally play.
6. Artist rights submissions
Artist licensing exists so that a signed and verified catalog can play in the background on somebody else's phone. It changes nothing about ordinary playback, which is a public YouTube video either way. If you apply to make uploaded artist audio available for public mobile background play, we record the information needed to verify and preserve the license, including your legal and stage names, organization, authority, country, website, phone number, ownership and contributor statements, writers and publishers, electronic signature, account and email, agreement version and fingerprint, timestamp, IP address, browser information, review status, reviewer notes, and the private audio files covered by the submission. Approved artist audio may be made available only for that background-play feature; signature, contact, account, audit, and review data remain restricted to authorized operators and service providers.
7. Copyright notices
Our copyright intake covers audio uploaded for mobile background play, which is the only audio we host. A complaint about a video playing on YouTube belongs with YouTube. Copyright notices and counter-notices contain legal contact and claim information, including name, organization, email, phone, mailing address, signature, work and material descriptions, IP address, browser information, linked accounts or tracks, review notes, and enforcement actions. We use and retain this information to investigate claims, contact the parties, preserve an audit record, enforce the repeat-infringer policy, and comply with legal obligations. A notice or account information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary to process the statutory notice-and-counter-notice procedure or respond to lawful process.
8. Local browser storage
We store a few small preferences on your device so the app remembers your choices:
Playback uses the embedded YouTube player on a computer, and on a phone with the screen on. 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.
We use your data to operate, secure, maintain, improve, develop, analyze, and understand Suffering Jukebox; conduct research; and support business planning and development. Specifically:
We may use, disclose, license, publish, or commercialize aggregated or de-identified statistics and insights that do not reasonably identify you. We do not disclose identifiable listening histories to third parties for their independent use except with your consent, at your direction, as required by law, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to applicable law.
Your data is stored using Supabase and delivered through Vercel. Data is transmitted over HTTPS. Private files are protected by account ownership policies and time-limited links. Authorized site operators and infrastructure providers can technically process data when needed to operate, secure, support, review, or comply with legal obligations; other visitors cannot browse private uploads, signatures, contact details, IP addresses, or internal review records.
You have the right to:
To request a copy of your data, deletion, or withdrawal of an optional listening-insights contribution, contact us at support@outlawapps.online.
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.
If we make meaningful changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Where a change creates a materially new use of personal information, we will provide notice and obtain consent when required by applicable law.
