This section sets out the categories of recipients of the personal data collected or generated through your use of the Dromni Platform.

The following personal data will always be publicly available on the Dromni Platform:

  • Your profile name
  • Your profile photo
  • Who you follow on the Dromni Platform
  • Who follows you on the Dromni Platform (you can remove followers)

We will only share the following personal data with those outlined in the table below:

  • where sharing of particular personal data is needed for the use of a Dromni Platform feature, or a third party application, service or device, which you have chosen to use; or
  • if you otherwise grant us your permission to share the personal data, e.g. by selecting the appropriate setting in the Dromni Platform or by giving your consent
Categories of recipientsReason for sharing
Third party applications, services and devices you connect to your Dromni AccountTo connect your Dromni account, and/or allow you to use the Dromni Platform in connection with third party applications, services or devices. Examples of such third party applications, services and devices include: social media, mobile devices, desktop applications and devices, VR headsets and game consoles.

This will be publicly displayed to anyone who uses the Dromni Discord Community. We’ll also display any questions or comments you post.
Other Dromni usersTo share content and information about your use of the Dromni Platform with other Dromni users, including your ‘Followers’.  

Information we may share

Categories of recipientsReason for sharing
Service providersSo they can provide their services to Dromni. These service providers may include those we hire to:
– give customer support
– operate the technical infrastructure we need to provide the Dromni Platform
– assist in protecting and securing our systems and services (e.g. Google’s reCAPTCHA)
– help market Dromni’s (and our partners’) products, services, events and promotions
Payment processorsSo they can process your payments, and for anti-fraud purposes.  
Advertising partnersSo our ad partners can help us deliver more relevant advertising to you on the Dromni Platform. For example, our ad partners help us facilitate tailored advertising: This is when we use third party information to tailor ads to be more relevant to you (also known as interest based advertising).
An example of a tailored ad is when an ad partner has information suggesting you like cars, which could enable us to show you ads about cars.
You can control tailored advertising in your account privacy settings under “Tailored Ads”.
If you are “opted out” of Tailored Ads, you may still get advertising on ad-supported services (such as podcasts or the Free Service Option) based on your registration information and ads based on the content you are streaming on our Services. For example, if you are streaming a cooking podcast, you may hear an ad for a food processor or if you are streaming a workout playlist, you may hear an ad for sports clothing.  
Marketing PartnersTo promote Dromni with our partners. We share some personal data with these partners where necessary to: enable you to participate in Dromni promotions, including trials or other bundled offersto promote Dromni in media and advertising published on other online serviceshelp us and our partners to measure the effectiveness of Dromni promotions   Examples of partners include:
– marketing or sponsorship partners
– websites and mobile apps who sell us advertising space on their services
– device, app and mobile partners who also offer Dromni promotions  

Our partners may also combine the personal data we share with them with other data they collect about you (e.g. your use of their services). We and our partners may use this information to present you with offers, promotions, or other marketing activities that we believe will be relevant to you.  
Other partner sharingWe may share personal data with partners to help us understand and improve the performance of our products and partnerships.
Academic researchers    For activities such as statistical analysis and academic study, but only in a pseudonymised format. Pseudonymised data is where your data is identified by a code rather than your name or other information that directly identifies you.
Law enforcement and other authoritiesWhen we believe in good faith it’s necessary for us to do so, for example: to comply with a legal obligationto respond to a valid legal process (such as a search warrant, court order, or subpoena)for our own or a third party’s justifiable interest, relating to:
– national security
– law enforcement
– litigation (a court case)
– criminal investigation
– protecting someone’s safety
– preventing death or imminent bodily harm.  
Purchasers of our businessWhere we sell or negotiate to sell our business to a buyer or possible buyer. In this situation, Dromni will continue to ensure your personal data is kept confidential. We’ll give you notice before your personal data is transferred to the buyer or a different privacy policy starts to apply.

6. Data retention and deletion

Retention

We keep your personal data only as long as necessary to provide you with the Dromni Platform and for Dromni’s legitimate and essential business purposes, such as:

  • maintaining the performance of the Dromni Platform
  • making data-driven business decisions about new features and offerings
  • complying with our legal obligations
  • resolving disputes

Deletion

If you close or request that we close your account, we’ll delete or anonymise your personal data so it no longer identifies you, unless we’re required to keep something or we still need to use it for a legally justifiable reason.

Here are some examples of situations where we’re legally allowed or required to keep some of your personal data:

  • if there’s an unresolved issue relating to your account, such as an outstanding credit or unresolved claim or dispute
  • for our legal, tax, audit and accounting obligations
  • for our legitimate business interests such as fraud prevention or to maintain security.

7. Transfer to other countries

When carrying out the activities described in this Policy, Dromni shares your personal data internationally with subcontractors and partners. They may process your data in countries whose data protection laws are not considered to be as strong as EU laws or the laws which apply where you live. For example, they may not give you the same rights over your data.

Whenever we transfer personal data internationally, we use tools to:

  • make sure the data transfer complies with applicable law
  • help to give your data the same level of protection as it has in the EU

We do this using a variety of protections, as appropriate for each data transfer. For example, we use:

  • Standard Contractual Clauses (or an alternative legal tool) to require the third party to protect your data and to provide you with EU-level rights and protections
  • technical protections, such as encryption and pseudonymisation
  • policies and processes to challenge disproportionate or unlawful government authority requests

You can exercise your rights under the Standard Contractual Clauses by contacting us or the third party who processes your personal data.

8. Keeping your personal data safe

We’re committed to protecting our users’ personal data. We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to help protect the security of your personal data. However, be aware that no system is ever completely secure.

We have implemented various safeguards including pseudonymisation, encryption, access, and retention policies to guard against unauthorised access and unnecessary retention of personal data in our systems.

To protect your user account, we encourage you to:

  • use a strong password that is unique to your Dromni account
  • never share your password with anyone
  • limit access to your computer, smartphone and other devices using the Dromni Platform
  • log out once you have finished using the Dromni Platform on a shared device

You can log out of Dromni using the “Sign out” function on your account page.

If other individuals have access to your Dromni account (for example if you’ve given them permission to use your account on a shared device), then they can access personal data, controls and the Dromni Platform available in your account.

It’s your responsibility to only provide individuals with permission to use your account where you’re comfortable sharing this personal data with them. Anyone else’s use of your Dromni account may impact your personalised recommendations and be included in your data download.

9. Children

The Dromni Platform has a minimum “Age Limit” in each country. The Dromni Platform is not directed to children whose age:

  • is under the age of 13 years
  • or, makes it illegal to process their personal data
  • or, requires parental consent to process their personal data

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the applicable Age Limit. If you’re under the Age Limit, please do not use the Dromni Platform, and do not provide any personal data to us.

If you’re a parent of a child under the Age Limit and become aware that your child has provided personal data to Dromni, please contact us.

If we learn that we’ve collected the personal data of a child under the applicable Age Limit, we’ll take reasonable steps to delete the personal data. This may require us to delete the Dromni account for that child.

When using a shared device on the main Dromni Platform, you should be cautious about playing or recommending any content to individuals under 18 years old which could be inappropriate for them.

10. Changes to this policy

We may occasionally make changes to this Policy.

When we make material changes to this Policy, we’ll provide you with prominent notice as appropriate under the circumstances. For example, we may display a prominent notice within the Dromni Platform or send you an email or device notification.

Liability for contents

As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages in accordance with general legislation pursuant to Section 7 (1) of the German Telemedia Act (TMG).

Obligations to remove or block the use of information under the general laws remain unaffected. However, liability in this regard is only possible from the point in time at which a concrete infringement of the law becomes known.
