Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 19, 2026

Open Ear Media ("we," "us," or "our") operates openearmedia.com. This policy explains how we handle information on this website and in Open Ear Media applications that link to this policy. Linked network products may have their own privacy policies; please review the policy on the product you use.

Information we collect

• Information you provide: When you contact us, we receive your email address, name if provided, message, and any information or attachments you choose to send.
• Website usage: Our hosting and analytics providers process technical information associated with visits, such as requested pages, referring websites, browser and device information, approximate location, and security logs. Hosting infrastructure may process IP addresses to deliver and secure the website.
• Connected services: If you authorize an Open Ear Media application to connect to Google, we receive only the data allowed by the permissions you grant, as explained below.

How we use information

We use information to operate and secure our services, understand aggregate website usage, respond to inquiries, provide features you request, prevent abuse, and meet legal obligations. We do not sell personal information or use Google user data for advertising.

Analytics and third-party requests

This website uses Vercel for hosting and Vercel Web Analytics to understand traffic and page usage. Vercel Web Analytics is designed to work without analytics cookies. Learn more in Vercel's analytics privacy information.

Our homepage loads fonts and scripts from third-party providers, including Google Fonts and cdnjs. Your browser sends technical request information, including your IP address, to those providers when loading those resources. External websites, social networks, radio services, and ticketing services linked from our sites operate under their own policies.

Google user data and API access

Visiting this website does not by itself give us access to your Google account. If you connect a Google account to an application covered by this policy, Google displays the permissions requested before you authorize access. The application must explain the feature and permissions it needs; we use the authorized data only to provide and improve the user-facing feature you request.

Depending on the permissions you grant, this may include basic account information, such as your name and email address, or data from the specific Google service you connect. We do not request access to unrelated account data. Authorization credentials and any retained Google data are used only as needed to maintain the connection and deliver the authorized feature.

Open Ear Media's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

• We do not sell Google user data, use it for targeted advertising, or transfer it to data brokers.
• We do not use Google user data to train generalized artificial intelligence or machine learning models.
• We transfer Google user data only as necessary to provide or improve the authorized user-facing feature, with your consent, for security purposes, to comply with applicable law, or as otherwise permitted by Google's Limited Use requirements.
• We do not allow people to read Google user data except with your affirmative agreement for specific data, when necessary for security or legal compliance, or for internal operations involving data that has been aggregated and anonymized as permitted by Google policy.

You can revoke access at any time through your Google Account permissions. Revoking access stops future authorized access but does not automatically delete previously retained information. To request deletion of retained Google data or associated credentials, email contact@openearmedia.com and identify the application and account involved. Do not send passwords or access tokens.

When we share information

We share information with service providers that support hosting, analytics, communications, or the feature you request, only as needed for those purposes. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a business transfer subject to applicable privacy obligations. Google user data remains subject to the restrictions above.

Retention and security

We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to inquiries, providing authorized features, and meeting legal or security obligations. When it is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it. We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. Contact us to make a request or withdraw consent. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. You may also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

Children's privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can address it.

International processing

Our service providers may process information in countries other than your own, where data protection laws may differ. Applicable legal safeguards apply where required.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy as our services change. We will update the date above and provide additional notice when required. For privacy questions or data requests, contact Open Ear Media at contact@openearmedia.com.
