LyricLingo.org Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

LyricLingo.org is the data controller for information processed through our platform. We are committed to transparent processing and to safeguarding your rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

2. Personal Data We Collect

• Account information — name, email address and login credentials for your account.
• User-generated content — lyrics, translations, comments and direct messages you upload or create when using the Services.
• Usage data — IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages viewed and actions taken within the platform.
• Payment data — subscription payment details handled by our trusted third-party payment processor.

3. Lawful Basis and Purposes

We rely on consent, contract, legal obligation and legitimate interests as lawful bases for processing personal data. In particular the privacy notice tells you why data are processed, how long they are kept, and with whom they may be shared.

• Providing the Services — operating, maintaining and improving LyricLingo.
• Communication — responding to enquiries, sending account notifications and service updates.
• Marketing (optional) — sending newsletters or promotions with your explicit consent; you may withdraw consent at any time.
• Analytics — understanding usage patterns to improve user experience.
• Compliance — meeting legal obligations and enforcing our Terms of Service.

4. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above. When data is no longer required we will delete or anonymise it. Our privacy notice explains the retention periods that apply to specific categories of information.

5. Sharing Personal Data

• Service providers — carefully selected vendors (such as hosting and payment processors) who support our operations under contract.
• Legal authorities — when required to comply with the law or protect our rights and the rights of others.
• Other users — content you publish (lyrics, translations, comments) may be visible to other LyricLingo users. We never sell your personal data.

6. International Transfers

If personal data is transferred outside the UK, we implement safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or other legally recognised transfer mechanisms to maintain adequate protection. You can contact us for more details about cross-border transfers.

7. Your Rights

Under the UK GDPR you have the right to be informed, access, rectify, erase, restrict, object, port your data and withdraw consent. The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) require us to give clear information about storage and access technologies and to obtain consent where required.

To exercise your rights, contact our Data Protection Officer using the details below. We will respond within one month.

8. Security

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss or destruction. Despite our efforts no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children’s Data

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If you believe we have collected information from a child without parental consent, please contact us so we can delete it.

10. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this policy to reflect legal or operational changes. Any significant updates will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
