Privacy Policy
This policy describes what information we collect when you use Fanlist’s websites, services, mobile applications, products, and content (“Services”). It also provides information about how we store, transfer, use, and delete that information, and what choices you have with respect to the information.
This policy applies to Fanlist’s online audio recording tool, including the website and mobile applications, and other Fanlist websites (collectively “the Websites”).
This policy applies where we are acting as a Data Controller with respect to the personal data of Creators, Fans, Registered Users, and Visitors (collectively “Users”) of our Services; in other words, where we determine the purposes and means of the processing of that personal data. For content and data that you upload to or make available through the Service (“User Content”), you are responsible for ensuring this content is in accordance with our Terms of Service, and that the content is not violating other Users’ privacy.
How we collect, process, and store information
We at Fanlist are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our Users. Our business model is to collect a subscription fee from Creators for services offered through the Fanlist Platform. We do not rely on the widespread collection of general user data. We will only collect and process information that we need to deliver the service to Users and to continue to maintain and develop the service.
Fanlist may collect, store, and process various kinds of data, with different legal grounds, as listed below. The following is a list of data we collect, process or store:
User account information.
To use Fanlist, Users have to provide a valid email address and full name. The User can also choose to enter a display name, a profile picture, a short bio, and social media handles that will be used to represent them on their public profile page, and in conversations.
Transaction information.
Users that register on Fanlist, as well as Users of their Services might have to provide credit card information, billing email, banking information, location at the time of transaction and/or a billing address in order to complete a transaction. The transaction data may be processed for the purpose of supplying the purchased services and keeping proper records of those transactions. This data may be used for the purpose of delivering the Services to Users. Processing this information is required for fulfilling the contract we entered into with you, at your request (per our Terms of Service). Additionally, this information needs to be retained in order to comply with accounting and tax regulation.
Usage information.
When you interact with the Services, we collect and process metadata to provide additional context about the way the Service is being used. The usage data may include your IP address, geographical location, browser type and version, operating system, referral source, length of visit, page views and website navigation paths, as well as information about the timing, frequency and pattern of your service use. The source of the usage data is our server software and our analytics tracking system.
Product Analytics data.
Fanlist logs activities by Users when Users interact with our websites or apps, when a page is visited, or when there is a conversation.
Technical log data.
Like most digital services, our servers automatically collect information when Websites or Services are accessed or used and record it in log files. This log data may include the Internet Protocol (IP) address, the address of the web page visited within the Services, browser type and settings, the date and time the Services were used, information about browser configuration and plugins, language preferences and cookie data.
Device information.
Fanlist may collect and process information about devices used to access the Services, including the type of device, what operating system is used, device settings, application IDs, unique device identifiers and crash data. Whether we collect and process some or all of this information depends on the type of device used and its settings
Location information.
We receive information from you and other third-parties that helps us approximate your location. We may, for example, use a business address submitted by your employer, or an IP address received from your browser or device to determine approximate location. Fanlist may also collect location information from devices in accordance with the consent process provided by your device. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interests, namely using this data for the purpose of ensuring the proper administration of our website and business, analyzing the use of the website and services, monitoring and improving our website and services, improving the user experience, preventing abuse, and assisting Users with support inquiries.

Processing this information is required for performing the contract we entered into with you, at your request (our Terms of Service), as well as our legitimate interest in handling your requests.
Service and transactional notifications.
Sometimes we’ll send you emails about your account, service changes, or new policies. You can’t opt out of this type of “service or transactional” emails (unless you delete your account) as they are necessary information for the Services.
The legal grounds for processing this information is that it is required for performing our commitment to communicating changes in plans and pricing to you in the contract we entered into with you, at your request (our Terms of Service).
