Dyal ("we", "our", "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding your data when you use the Dyal application and related services (the "Service").
TLDR: We collect what you give us (account info, uploads) and some automatic usage data.
We collect information that you provide directly to us, as well as information collected automatically when you use the Service:
Information You Provide
| Data | What it includes |
|---|---|
| Account info | Username, email address, and password (stored in hashed form, never as plain text) |
| Profile info | Display name, bio, profile picture, and other optional details you choose to provide |
| Content | Audio clips, comments, and other content you upload or create |
Information Collected Automatically
| Data | What it includes |
|---|---|
| Usage data | How you interact with the Service (plays, likes, follows, browsing patterns) |
| Device info | IP address, device type, operating system, browser type |
| Log data | Access times, pages viewed, crashes, and referring URLs |
TLDR: To run the app, improve it, keep you safe, and personalize your experience.
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
We process your information based on your consent (when you create an account), contractual necessity (to provide the Service), and our legitimate interests (security, improvement, and analytics).
TLDR: We never sell your data. Never have, never will. We only share it when you post publicly, with service providers that help us run things, or when the law requires it.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We have never sold user data and we never will. Your data is not our product — you are not the product. We make money by building a great product, not by selling your information to advertisers or data brokers.
We may share your information only in these limited circumstances:
TLDR: We encrypt your data and follow security best practices, but nothing online is 100% bulletproof.
We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, including:
No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially reasonable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
TLDR: You can see, fix, delete, or download your data. California and EU residents have additional rights.
You have the following rights regarding your personal information:
To exercise these rights, contact us at support@dyalapp.com. We will respond to your request within 30 days.
California Residents (CCPA). If you are a California resident, you have the right to: (1) know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose; (2) request deletion of your personal information; (3) opt out of the sale of your personal information (we do not sell personal information); and (4) not be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights. To submit a verifiable consumer request, contact us at support@dyalapp.com.
TLDR: Your data may be processed in the United States. By using Dyal, you consent to this.
Your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from your country of residence. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of your information to these countries. We take steps to ensure that your data receives an adequate level of protection wherever it is processed.
TLDR: We use essential cookies for login and preferences. No third-party ad trackers. No selling your browsing data. None of that.
We use cookies and local storage technologies. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings, though disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the Service.
We do not use third-party advertising trackers, sell data to advertisers, or share your browsing behavior with anyone. Your listening habits and activity on Dyal stay on Dyal.
TLDR: Dyal is not for kids under 13. If we find out a child signed up, we delete their data.
The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately at support@dyalapp.com.
TLDR: We keep your data while your account is active. Delete your account and we delete your data within 30 days.
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. When you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes (such as resolving disputes or enforcing our Terms). Aggregate, anonymized data that cannot be used to identify you may be retained indefinitely.
TLDR: We might update this policy. We'll let you know if anything big changes.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the new policy on this page, updating the "Last updated" date, and, where appropriate, sending you a notification through the Service or via email. Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
