Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 20, 2026
1. Overview
SawtiQ is operated by Smarter Broadcast Corp. (“we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our website and applications (collectively, the “Service”).
By using SawtiQ, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.
2. Information We Collect
Account Information. When you create an account, we collect your email address and display name. If you sign in via a third-party provider (such as Google, where offered), we receive your name, email, and profile picture from that provider.
Usage Data. We collect data about how you interact with SawtiQ, including tracks you favorite, playlists you create, and listening activity. This helps us personalize your experience.
Device & Log Data. We automatically collect standard log information such as IP address, browser type, and referring page when you visit our Service. This data is used for security and diagnostics.
3. Cookies
SawtiQ uses essential cookies to maintain your login session. These are strictly necessary for the Service to function and cannot be disabled.
We do not use advertising cookies. If we add optional analytics cookies in the future, we will update this policy and provide a choice mechanism.
4. How We Use Your Data
- To authenticate you and maintain your session
- To save your favorites, playlists, and preferences
- To send transactional emails (password reset, account verification)
- To monitor and improve the reliability and security of the Service
- To comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
5. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
- Sign-in providers — where third-party sign-in (such as Google) is offered, that provider’s privacy policy applies to data it processes during authentication.
- Resend — for transactional emails (verification, password reset). Your email address is shared with Resend solely for email delivery.
Our audio catalog is curated from publicly available sources. Metadata such as track titles, artist names, and album information is collected from public platforms.
6. Data Retention
We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you request account deletion, we will remove your personal data within 30 days. Anonymized usage statistics may be retained indefinitely.
7. Security
We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including TLS encryption for data in transit, secure cookie handling, and access controls on our infrastructure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your account and associated data
- Object to or restrict certain processing activities
- Data portability (receive your data in a structured format)
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected] from the e-mail address on your account (we verify requests by matching that address). We respond to verified requests within 30 days (45 days for California requests), extendable once where the law permits.
California residents
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use it (described in this policy), to request deletion, to request correction, and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information other than to provide the Service. An authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf with your written permission.
EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland
We process account and usage data to perform our contract with you (providing the Service), and device and log data on the basis of our legitimate interest in the security and reliability of the Service. You may object to processing based on legitimate interest, withdraw consent where processing relies on it, and lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority. Our servers are located in the United States; when you use the Service from outside the US, your data is transferred to and processed there.
9. Children and Family Listening
SawtiQ’s Kids Corner offers nasheeds and recitations suitable for children, and families are welcome to listen together. No account is needed to stream: children can listen without providing any personal information. Accounts and sign-in are intended for adults and for parents or guardians who manage listening on a child’s behalf.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under the age of digital consent where you live). If you believe a child has created an account or provided us with personal data, contact us at [email protected] and we will delete it promptly.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting a notice on our website. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
