This information may include:

Google Analytics

Paatly uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website. Google Analytics may collect information such as page views, sessions, approximate location, device and browser information, traffic sources, engagement, and interactions with website features.

We use this information in aggregated reports to understand which pages are useful, identify technical problems, and improve Paatly.

Google describes how it uses information from websites and applications that use its services on its partner sites information page.

You can learn about Google’s available privacy controls and the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Advertising and Google AdSense

Paatly uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and other advertising vendors may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, device information, or similar technologies to serve, measure, limit, and personalize advertisements where permitted.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve advertisements based on your previous visits to Paatly or other websites.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve advertisements based on visits to Paatly and other websites on the Internet.

You can manage or opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings. Depending on your location, additional advertising and consent choices may also be presented through a cookie or privacy message.

Even when advertisements are not personalized, cookies or similar technologies may still be used for purposes such as frequency capping, aggregated reporting, security, fraud prevention, and advertisement delivery.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your browser or device. Paatly and its service providers may use cookies, local storage, tags, pixels, and similar technologies.

These technologies may be used for:

  • Operating essential website features
  • Remembering privacy or cookie choices
  • Measuring website traffic and performance
  • Understanding how visitors interact with pages
  • Serving and measuring advertisements
  • Preventing spam, fraud, and misuse

Where required, non-essential analytics or advertising technologies will be used according to the choices provided through our consent system.

You can also control or delete cookies using your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how certain website features, embedded content, or advertisements work.

Embedded content and external services

Paatly may embed or link to content provided by third parties, including YouTube videos and other music or media services.

When you load or interact with embedded content, the third-party provider may receive technical information about your device and visit and may place cookies or use similar technologies according to its own privacy policy.

Paatly does not control how an external website or embedded-content provider processes information after you interact with its service. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those providers.

How we use information

We may use information collected through Paatly to:

  • Operate, maintain, and secure the website
  • Provide song pages, search, and other website features
  • Review lyrics, translations, corrections, requests, and other submissions
  • Contact contributors when clarification is required
  • Send submission-status or review-related communications
  • Respond to questions, feedback, and legal requests
  • Credit accepted contributions using a supplied display name
  • Understand website traffic and usage
  • Improve content, usability, accessibility, and performance
  • Display and measure advertisements
  • Prevent spam, fraud, misuse, and security threats
  • Comply with applicable legal obligations

We do not currently use contributor email addresses to send general promotional newsletters unless we separately ask for permission to do so.

How information may be shared

We may share limited information with service providers that help us operate Paatly. These may include:

  • Website hosting and content-delivery providers
  • Analytics providers
  • Advertising providers
  • Email and form-delivery providers
  • Spam-prevention and security providers
  • Embedded-content providers

These providers may process information according to their own terms, privacy policies, or agreements with Paatly.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

  • Comply with applicable law, legal process, or a valid government request
  • Investigate fraud, spam, abuse, or security incidents
  • Protect the rights, safety, or property of Paatly, our visitors, or others
  • Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims
  • Complete a reorganisation, transfer, or sale of the website, subject to appropriate safeguards

We do not exchange personal information for money. Advertising and analytics providers may nevertheless collect or receive certain online identifiers and usage information as described in this policy.

Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including reviewing contributions, responding to enquiries, maintaining website security, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations.

Submission and correspondence records may be retained so that we can document editorial decisions, manage follow-up questions, prevent repeated abuse, and respond to future concerns.

Analytics, advertising, hosting, and security providers may apply their own retention periods. Paatly may also use configurable retention settings offered by those providers.

Information may be retained for a longer period where required to comply with law, preserve security records, resolve a dispute, or establish, exercise, or defend a legal claim.

When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete it, anonymize it, or retain it in a form that no longer identifies an individual. Limited residual copies may remain temporarily in backups until those backups are overwritten or securely deleted.

International data processing

Some service providers used by Paatly may process or store information in different countries or regions.

Those locations may have data-protection laws different from the laws applicable to you. Where required, reasonable steps may be taken to use appropriate safeguards for international processing.

Your privacy choices and rights

Depending on applicable law and your relationship with Paatly, you may have the right to:

  • Ask what personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Request deletion of information that is no longer required
  • Withdraw consent where processing depends on consent
  • Object to or restrict certain processing where applicable
  • Request removal of a public contributor display name
  • Raise a concern about how your information is handled

These rights are not absolute. We may retain or continue processing certain information when legally permitted or required, including for security, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, or legal claims.

To make a privacy request, contact us using the details at the end of this policy. We may need to ask for information reasonably necessary to verify your identity and locate the relevant records.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or misuse.

However, no website, internet transmission, or electronic-storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should avoid submitting sensitive personal information that is not required for your request or contribution.

Children’s privacy

Paatly is a general-audience music-information website. We do not knowingly request personal information from children through our contribution or contact forms without appropriate authorization where required by law.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has submitted personal information to Paatly, please contact us. We will review the request and take appropriate steps, including deletion where required.

Links to other websites

Paatly contains links to websites and services that we do not operate. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information or using their services.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when Paatly’s features, service providers, or legal obligations change.

When we make changes, we will publish the updated policy on this page and revise the “Last updated” date. Significant changes may also be highlighted on the website where appropriate.
