Privacy Policy

You do not need to sign up to listen. Without an account, your settings, theme, chosen languages and recently played songs are kept only in your own browser. They never reach our servers, and clearing your browser data removes them.

If you join a Mehfil as a guest, the first name you type is shown to the other people in that room while you are in it.

• Sign-in details: your email address and a securely handled password, or your Google sign-in. We never see or store your password in readable form.
• Profile: your display name, and the avatar you pick (or your Google profile picture).
• Your library: liked songs, the playlists you make or import, playlists you save, and any cover picture you upload.
• Your taste: the languages and artists you chose, so Home can be made for you.
• Settings: such as streaming quality.
• Reports you send: which playlist or Mehfil you reported and why.

We do not ask for your phone number, address, date of birth, contacts or location.

Only to run Groovia for you: to sign you in, keep your library in sync across devices, make recommendations from your taste, send the emails you ask for (confirming your address, resetting your password), keep the service safe, and fix problems.

We do not use your data for advertising, and we do not build profiles of you for anyone else.

Everything in your account is private by default. Other people see only what you choose to make public:

• A public playlist shows its name, description, cover and songs, with your display name and avatar, and can appear in search and Community playlists.
• A public Mehfil is listed while it is live, with its name, host name and what is playing. A private Mehfil is reached only by its link, code or QR.

Your email address is never shown to other listeners.

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it with advertisers or data brokers.

We rely on a small number of trusted service providers to host the app, store data and handle sign-in. They process data only on our behalf, only to run Groovia, and under their own security commitments. We may disclose information if the law requires it.

To stop abuse, such as automated requests or spam, we briefly count requests by account or network address. These counts delete themselves within a day.

If part of the app fails, a short error report (what went wrong, on which page, and the browser type) may be sent so we can fix it. It does not include your password or your library.

Groovia uses no advertising or tracking cookies. Your browser's own storage keeps you signed in and remembers your settings and recent plays. You can clear it at any time from your browser settings, which signs you out on that device.

We keep your account data for as long as you have an account. A Mehfil's details are deleted when it ends.

To delete everything, go to Settings, Account and data, Delete account. This permanently removes your playlists, uploaded covers, likes, saved playlists, profile, taste and your sign-in. It cannot be undone. If you cannot reach Settings, write to us and we will do it for you.

Data travels over encrypted connections, and each request to your account is checked against your sign-in before anything is read or changed. No service can promise perfect security, so please use a strong password that you do not use elsewhere.

Groovia is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly keep data about them. If you believe a child under 13 has made an account, write to us and we will delete it.

If we change how we handle your data, we will update this page and its date. For significant changes we may also let you know in the app.

For any privacy question or request, write to univora8@gmail.com. Groovia is a product of Univora.
