This Privacy Policy describes how Bohdi LLC (“Bohdi,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects your personal information when you access or use the Bohdi Platform, including the website, mobile application, API, and any related services (collectively, the “Platform”). By accessing or using the Platform, you consent to the data practices described in this Privacy Policy.
By accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our practices described here, you may choose not to use the Platform.
This Privacy Policy should be read in conjunction with our Terms of Service and, if applicable, the Artist Agreement.
We collect information in the following categories:
Account Information: Email address (optional for Members; required for Artists), phone number (optional; may be required for identity verification), profile name and picture, gender (optional), date of birth (required), and country of residence.
Artist-Specific Information: If you apply to be an Artist: artist or band name, biography, social media links (e.g., Instagram, SoundCloud, Spotify), and professional information to verify your identity and eligibility.
Content You Upload: Music files (MP3, FLAC, WAV, stems), cover art and images, song metadata (title, genre, explicit content flag, AI certification status), and any comments or descriptions you provide.
Financial Information: Transaction records (amounts, types, timestamps), wallet balance and funding history, payout preferences and history (Artists only), and tax information (when applicable). Note: Credit/debit card details are collected and processed directly by our payment processor, Stripe, and are never stored on Bohdi's servers.
Communications: Messages you send to us (support requests, feedback), reports you file against content or users, and any other communications with our support team.
Usage Data: Streaming activity (songs played, duration listened, timestamps), search queries and search history (stored locally on your device; not on Bohdi servers), playlist creation and updates, and in-app interactions.
Location Data: Geographic location information that you voluntarily provide (such as city, country, or map coordinates for your profile). Bohdi does not request access to your device's GPS or location services.
Device and Technical Data: IP address, device type and model, operating system, browser type and version, unique device identifiers, app version, and system settings.
If you access the Platform through a mobile application distributed via the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, we provide privacy disclosures as required by the applicable app store, including Apple's App Store Privacy “Nutrition Labels.” These disclosures summarize our data collection and use practices in the format required by each app store.
Payment Processor (Stripe): Confirmation of successful payments, refunds, or chargebacks, and limited billing information necessary to reconcile transactions.
Authentication Providers: If you register or log in using a third-party authentication provider (which Bohdi may offer in the future), we may receive basic profile information such as your name and email address.
Other Users: Information you provide when reporting content or users, or when other users tag or mention you on the Platform.
If you fund your wallet or receive payouts, our payment processor may collect identity verification data as required by applicable Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations. This may include government-issued identification, proof of address, and date of birth. This data is processed and stored by our payment processor (Stripe) and is not stored on Bohdi's servers.

Artist profiles (including artist name, bio, social links, geographic location, and uploaded songs) are publicly visible on the Platform
We share information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, as described in Section 5. These providers are contractually required to maintain the confidentiality and security of your personal information and are prohibited from using it for any purpose other than providing services to Bohdi.
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to: (a) comply with a legal obligation, court order, or government request; (b) enforce our Terms of Service and other agreements; (c) protect the security or integrity of the Platform; or (d) protect the rights, property, or safety of Bohdi, our users, or the public.
If Bohdi is involved in a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide notice of any such change and any choices you may have regarding your personal information.
We may share your information for other purposes with your explicit consent.
We may share aggregated or de-identified data that cannot reasonably be used to identify you, for purposes such as industry analysis, research, or marketing.
We may share limited information with music rights organizations, performing rights organizations (PROs), or mechanical licensing entities as necessary to comply with music licensing obligations, report usage data, or respond to legitimate inquiries regarding content on the Platform.
We use the following third-party services that may process your personal information:
Stripe (Payment Processing): Processes wallet funding, stream charges, purchases, and payouts. Stores payment information securely per PCI-DSS standards.
Sentry (Error Monitoring): Tracks errors, performance issues, and debugging information. PII transmission is disabled.
Hosting and Cloud Infrastructure: Standard cloud hosting providers that store data and serve the Platform.
All third-party service providers that process personal information on our behalf are required to maintain appropriate security measures and are contractually prohibited from using your personal information for any purpose other than providing services to Bohdi. We conduct periodic reviews of our service providers' data protection practices.
When your account is deleted, we immediately anonymize your personally identifiable information (making it inaccessible and dissociated from your identity) or delete it within ninety (90) days, except where we are required by law to retain it.
Aggregated and de-identified data may be retained indefinitely for analytics and research purposes.
We maintain the following specific retention schedules:
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:
Encryption of data in transit (TLS/SSL)
Secure hashing of passwords (never stored in plaintext)
Role-based access controls for internal systems
Security monitoring through error tracking and application performance monitoring
Personally identifiable information is excluded from error monitoring and crash reporting (PII transmission disabled in Sentry)
In addition to encryption in transit, personal information stored on our servers is encrypted at rest using industry-standard encryption algorithms.
Despite our efforts, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information. You use the Platform at your own risk.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:

You may update or correct inaccurate personal information through your account settings, or by contacting us.
You may request deletion of your account and personal data by using the account deletion feature in settings or by contacting us. Deletion is subject to certain exceptions (e.g., when we must retain data for legal, compliance, or safety reasons).
You may clear your search history at any time through the Platform's settings.
You may opt out of promotional communications by using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, or by updating your notification preferences in account settings.
You may disable push notifications through your device's operating system settings.

If Bohdi meets the applicable thresholds under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) -- including annual gross revenue exceeding $25 million, buying/selling/sharing the personal information of 100,000 or more consumers or households, or deriving 50% or more of annual revenue from selling or sharing personal information -- the following rights apply to California residents.
These rights apply to “personal information,” which under the CCPA/CPRA generally means information that identifies, relates to, describes, or could be linked with a particular California resident or household.
You have the right to request that we disclose: (a) the categories of personal information we collected about you; (b) the categories of sources of that information; (c) the purpose for which we collect or use the information; and (d) the categories of third parties with whom we share that information.

You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you.
Bohdi does not sell your personal information. We do not share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. Therefore, there is no sale or sharing to opt out of.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA rights. You will not receive different pricing or quality of service as a result of exercising these rights.
You may designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf, provided the agent has your written permission and can verify their identity.
To exercise your California privacy rights, contact us at privacy@bohdi.world.
We will verify your identity before fulfilling any request. For account holders, we will verify your identity by confirming your registered email address and requesting additional information as needed. We will respond to your request within forty-five (45) days of receipt.
Bohdi honors Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as a valid opt-out request under the CCPA/CPRA. If we detect a GPC signal from your browser, we will treat it as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, to the extent applicable.
