Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

HEADY.FM (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is an internet radio station operated by Prospect Media. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you visit heady.fm (“the Site”). For privacy requests, contact us at privacy@heady.fm.

2. Data We Collect

We collect information in two ways: information you provide directly, and information collected automatically.

a) Analytics Data

We use analytics tools to collect anonymous usage data by default, including:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Referring website or search query
• General geographic region (country/city — not precise location)
• Device type, browser, and operating system
• Session and engagement metrics

Analytics tools do not collect your name, email address, or any information that directly identifies you. You can opt out of analytics tracking at any time using the Cookie Preferences option in the site footer.

b) Account Information

If you create an account, we collect your email address and any profile information you provide (display name, avatar). This is stored securely via Supabase and is used solely to provide account features (saved songs, comments, preferences).

c) Functional Data

We use browser localStorage to remember your consent decision and audio player preferences. No cookies are used for this; no data is sent to any server.

3. Why We Collect It

• Analytics: To understand how listeners use the site so we can improve the listening experience, fix bugs, and prioritize features.
• Account features: To save your song library, post comments, and personalize your experience.
• Functional preferences: To remember your audio and display settings across visits.

4. Marketing Pixels & Consent Mode

We use an opt-out model for analytics tracking. Analytics cookies are active by default when you visit the site. When you first visit, a non-blocking notice informs you that tracking is active and provides the option to opt out.

We collect analytics data only — we do not use trackers for advertising, remarketing, or user profiling. Ad storage, ad user data, and ad personalization signals are always denied. You can opt out of analytics tracking at any time via Cookie Preferences.

5. Your Rights — CCPA & CIPA

California residents have the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA):

• Right to Know: You can request details about the personal information we collect and how it is used.
• Right to Delete: You can request deletion of personal information we hold about you.
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale: We do not sell personal information.
• Right to Non-Discrimination: Opting out of tracking does not affect your access to HEADY.FM.

To exercise these rights, email privacy@heady.fm.

6. How to Opt Out

You have several options to opt out of analytics tracking:

• Cookie Preferences: Use the Cookie Preferences button in the site footer to change your decision at any time.
• Browser settings: Block third-party cookies in your browser settings (note: this may affect other site functionality).

7. Data Retention

Analytics data is retained for 14 months by default, after which it is automatically deleted. Account data is retained as long as your account is active. You can request deletion at any time by emailing privacy@heady.fm.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be noted by updating the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
