Echo

Introduction

Welcome to Echo (“we,” “our,” or “us”). Echo is a social platform for ranking, reviewing, and discovering music. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using Echo, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

Account Information: name, username, email, phone number, profile picture, and general location
Music Data: your Apple Music connection, listening activity, and library details you choose to sync
Content You Create: rankings, scores, reviews, comments, lists, collections, photos, and anything else you share on Echo
Activity & Usage Data: how you use the app, including features used, content you interact with, searches, and time spent
Device Information: device type, OS version, language, and identifiers
Information from Partners: information we receive from services you connect to Echo or from partners we work with

How We Use Your Information

Provide, personalize, and improve Echo
Power rankings, recommendations, charts, and community features
Build new features, products, and services
Create insights and trends from community activity, such as charts and listening statistics
Keep Echo safe, secure, and free of spam
Communicate with you about your account and what’s new on Echo

How We Share & License Information

Music is better shared — that’s the whole idea behind Echo.

Here’s how information moves through the platform:

With other users: your profile, rankings, reviews, and activity, based on your privacy settings
With service providers: companies that help us run Echo, like hosting, analytics, and communications
With partners: we may share or license information collected on Echo and insights derived from it — such as charts, rankings, and listening trends — to improve Echo, support how we operate, and build new music experiences; where practical, we use aggregated or de-identified data that doesn’t identify you personally
For legal reasons: when required by law or to protect Echo and our users
As part of a business change: if Echo is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale, information may transfer as part of that transaction

Your Content

You own what you create on Echo. By posting, you give us permission to host, display, adapt, and share your content and license it as part of operating, promoting, and improving Echo — for example, showing your review to friends, featuring a great ranking, or including your scores in community charts. The full license is in our Terms of Service.

Your Choices & Rights

You can:

Access and update your profile and account information anytime
Control visibility of your activity through your privacy settings
Delete your account and associated data from Settings
Ask us to access, correct, or export your data by contacting us

Third-Party Services

Echo connects with Apple Music to search music, sync your listening, and power playback features. Apple’s own terms and privacy policy apply to their services. We also rely on trusted providers for things like infrastructure, analytics, and notifications.

Data Retention & Security

We keep your information while your account is active and as long as needed to run Echo, comply with the law, and resolve disputes. We use industry-standard safeguards to protect your data. Aggregated or de-identified information may be retained and used after your account is deleted.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as Echo evolves. We’ll post updates here and, for significant changes, let you know in the app. Continuing to use Echo after an update means you accept the revised policy.
