Collection of information
The information we collect from you varies depending on the way you use our Services. When you provide your contact information as a listener to a podcast (“Consumer”), the information we collect and use is different from the information we collect if you become a Bluumly podcaster or content creator using our services (“Digital Creator”) and purchase and/or license one of our services. Below, we describe the different ways we might collect information from you.
Information You Provide to Us
We collect information you provide directly to us.
For example, when you use our services as a Consumer, you provide information directly to us when you sign up for emails or other communications from us or relating to content from a Digital Creator, fill out a form, or otherwise communicate or interact with us.
The types of personal information we may collect include your name, email address, postal address, phone number, and any other information you choose to provide.
If you are a Digital Creator, we collect certain personal information from you and/or your authorized users of our services in order to facilitate our business relationship with you and provide you our products and services (collectively, “Digital Creator Information”).
Digital Creator Information we may collect from you and/or your authorized users includes: name, business name, business phone number, job title, email address associated with your business, postal and billing address, and credit card or payment information.
We also collect information a Digital Creator chooses to provide or requests that we collect on its behalf relating to its audience members or individuals that it serves (collectively, “Listener”). Digital Creators must provide their Listeners any required notices and collect any necessary consents before collecting or disclosing any such information (collectively “Listener Information”) to us. Digital Creators determine what Listener Information they collect from their Listeners, and to the extent Bluumly receives that information, we do so on behalf of our Digital Creators. In some instances, Bluumly may collect information from its Consumers in conjunction with or at the same time that it collects the same or similar information from Listeners on behalf of Digital Creators. This Privacy Policy applies as described to Consumers and the Digital Creators’ privacy policy will apply to their Listener Information.
