JOYFL MUSIC — Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 10, 2025
Last updated: October 10, 2025
JOYFL MUSIC (“JOYFL,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to our websites, mobile apps, and services that link to this Policy (collectively, the “Services”).
If you are in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or United Kingdom (“UK”), see Section 14. If you are a resident of Colorado or California, see Section 13.
1) Who this Policy covers
This Policy applies when you:
- Create a listener or creator account, subscribe to a plan, or make a purchase/donation;
- Upload or distribute audio or other content;
- Sign up for newsletters, programs, or events;
- Use our websites/apps, interact with our social media, or contact support.
Children: We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (U.S.) or as defined by local law without verifiable parental consent. Users aged 13–15 require parent/guardian permission where required by law. If you believe a child provided data without consent, contact us at contact@sonofdavid.music.
2) Categories of information we collect
We collect information from you, from your devices automatically, and from third parties (in accordance with applicable law).
A. You provide directly
- Account & Contact: name, display name, email, password, phone, country, preferred language.
- Profile & Content: avatar, bio, links, genres, playlists, likes, comments, messages; audio uploads and associated metadata (titles, artwork, lyrics, credits).
- Transactions: subscription tier, purchase history; shipping info (if merch); limited payment details (handled by our PCI-compliant processors—see below).
- Support & Feedback: survey responses, trouble tickets, correspondence, program registrations.
B. Collected automatically (“Device/Usage Information”)
- IP address (which may infer approximate location), device identifiers, OS and browser, app version, crash logs, page/app views, interactions (plays, follows, shares), dates/timestamps, referral URLs, and cookie or SDK data.
- With your permission: microphone access (for recording/upload), push notifications, and approximate or precise location (for events, language, or rights/territory restrictions).
C. From third parties
- Identity, anti-fraud, or eligibility checks from verification providers; analytics/advertising partners; social logins; rights management and fingerprinting vendors; publicly available sources. We require such providers to confirm lawful sharing.
Sensitive data: We do not seek sensitive categories (e.g., health, religious beliefs). Do not include them in profiles or uploads. If a program requires limited sensitive data (e.g., accessibility needs), we will obtain your consent and protect it appropriately.
3) Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies, mobile SDKs, pixels, and similar tools to:
- Keep you signed in, remember preferences, and enable features;
- Measure usage, improve performance, and detect abuse;
- Provide content recommendations and (where permitted) marketing.
You can manage cookies in your browser/device. Blocking some cookies may limit functionality. Some browsers support Global Privacy Control (GPC); where required, we honor it for opt-out signals.
4) How we use your information
We use personal information to:
- Provide, personalize, operate, and secure the Services (including playback, recommendations, territory licenses, content fingerprinting, and takedown handling);
- Process payments and manage subscriptions (including auto-renewal where you’ve enabled it);
- Communicate about your account, updates, security alerts, and support;
- Run promotions, surveys, and events;
- Perform analytics and improve our features, catalog integrity, moderation, and accessibility;
- Enforce our Terms, prevent fraud/abuse, and protect JOYFL, users, and rights holders;
- Comply with legal obligations; and
- With consent or where permitted by law, send marketing (you can opt out anytime).
We may use de-identified and/or aggregated data for research, reporting, and product improvement.
5) Legal bases (EEA/UK)
Where applicable, we rely on contract necessity (to provide Services), legitimate interests (security, analytics, improvements, anti-fraud, limited marketing to existing users), consent (e.g., certain marketing, cookies, device permissions), and legal obligations (tax, accounting, compliance).
6) How we share information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share only as described:
- Service providers/Processors: cloud hosting, security, analytics, email/push, payment processing (we don’t store full card numbers), identity verification, content fingerprinting, customer support, and logistics. They must use your data only per our instructions and protect it.
- Rights & distribution: We may share necessary metadata with rights management partners (e.g., ISRC/ISWC, content ID systems) to detect infringement and allocate royalties (for creator programs).
- Creators/UGC: Public profile info, comments, likes, playlists, and content you choose to make public are visible to others.
- Business transfers: If we undergo a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer, data may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this Policy.
- Legal and safety: Where required by law or to protect rights, safety, and integrity, including responding to lawful requests, enforcing Terms, and preventing fraud or abuse.
- With your direction/consent: e.g., linking social accounts, participating in partner offers.
We do not share credit card numbers with third parties other than payment processors. We do not share text-message opt-in data with third parties for their marketing.
7) Marketing, preferences, and opt-outs
- Email/SMS/app notifications: use the links in messages or your Account → Notifications settings to opt out.
- Interest-based ads: adjust device settings, cookie preferences, or visit industry opt-out pages.
- Colorado/California rights and targeted advertising opt-outs: see Section 13.
8) Data retention
We retain personal information as long as necessary for the purposes in this Policy, including providing the Services, complying with legal/accounting obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements. When no longer needed, we will delete or de-identify data. If you delete your account, we generally remove or de-identify your personal data within a reasonable period, but may retain limited records (e.g., fraud prevention, tax, DMCA, financial records).
9) Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, port, or restrict/opt-out of certain processing (including targeted advertising), and to appeal our decisions. See Sections 13–14 for Colorado/California/EEA/UK details. We will verify your request and respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
10) Security
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information, including encryption in transit, access controls, and monitoring. No method is 100% secure; please use a strong, unique password and keep it confidential. Report concerns to contact@sonofdavid.music.
11) International transfers
We may process and store information in the U.S. and other countries. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) for cross-border transfers.
12) Third-party sites and integrations
The Services may link to third-party sites or include third-party SDKs. Their privacy practices govern their handling of your data. Review their policies.
13) U.S. State notices (Colorado, California, and others)
Right to opt-out of targeted advertising and certain sharing: You can direct JOYFL not to process your personal information for targeted advertising or to “share” for cross-context behavioral advertising by adjusting Account → Privacy or emailing contact@sonofdavid.music. We also process GPC/recognized opt-out signals where required.

JOYFL MUSIC — Terms of Use
Effective date: October 10, 2025

- Free trials/promos: If offered, you’ll be charged when the trial ends unless you cancel beforehand.
- Refunds: Except where required by law, fees are non-refundable. If a refund is required by your local law, we will honor it.

3) License to you; JOYFL content
Subject to these Terms, JOYFL grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Services for personal, non-commercial streaming and lawful purposes. We and our licensors retain all rights to the Services, including software, interfaces, and content we or our partners provide.
4) Your content and conduct (listeners)
You may create playlists, post comments, send messages, and otherwise interact where features permit. You agree that you will not:

6) Creator Terms (uploads, distribution, and monetization)
If you upload or distribute audio or other content (“Creator Content”):
- Rights & Clearances. You represent and warrant that you own or control all necessary rights (including masters, compositions, samples, artwork, and metadata), and that your uploads do not infringe any third-party rights or violate law, contracts, or moral rights.
- License to JOYFL. You grant JOYFL a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free (unless otherwise agreed in a separate monetization agreement), sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, transmit, adapt (e.g., transcode, normalize loudness), publicly perform, display, and make your Creator Content available on and through the Services, and to use associated names, trademarks, and artwork to operate, promote, and improve the Services. You can delete your uploads; reasonable caching/backups and prior shares may persist.
- Content ID & Moderation. You authorize JOYFL to use fingerprinting and other tools to detect duplicates, enforce territorial/rights restrictions, and manage takedowns/disputes.
- Royalties/Payments. If JOYFL offers creator monetization, additional terms (rate cards, reporting, payment schedules, tax forms, and fraud checks) will apply and are incorporated by reference.
- Moral rights. To the extent permitted by law, you waive or agree not to assert moral rights against JOYFL for purposes of operating the Services (we will not make derogatory modifications).
7) User feedback
If you send ideas or suggestions, you grant JOYFL a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use them without restriction or compensation.

We may suspend or terminate accounts for violations.
9) Ownership; no transfer
Except for the limited licenses granted in these Terms, no rights are transferred to you. Creators retain ownership of their Creator Content, subject to the license in Section 6.
10) Privacy
Our Privacy Policy (above) explains how we collect and use personal information and is incorporated into these Terms.
11) Termination
You may stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend or terminate access immediately if you materially breach these Terms, pose risk, or where required by law. Upon termination, your license ends, but Sections meant to survive (e.g., disclaimers, limitations, arbitration, IP grants as needed for prior use) will continue.
12) Disclaimers
The Services and all content are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, JOYFL disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, and does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service.
13) Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, JOYFL and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or revenues, arising from or related to your use of the Services. Our aggregate liability for any claim will not exceed the greater of $100 or the amounts you paid to JOYFL in the 12 months before the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations—those limits apply only to the extent permitted.
14) Indemnity
You will indemnify and hold JOYFL harmless from claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms, your Creator Content, or your misuse of the Services.
15) Copyright policy; DMCA takedowns
JOYFL respects intellectual property. If you believe content infringes your copyright, send a DMCA notice to:
JOYFL MUSIC — DMCA Agent
Wyatt Ernst
6 West Main Street,
American Fork, UT 84003
contact@sonofdavid.music | 651-400-0093
Your notice must include: (a) your physical/electronic signature; (b) identification of the copyrighted work; (c) identification of the allegedly infringing material and its location; (d) your contact information; (e) a statement of good-faith belief; and (f) a statement under penalty of perjury that your notice is accurate and you are authorized to act. We may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing content and, where appropriate, terminate repeat infringers.
If your content was removed, you may submit a counter-notification meeting DMCA requirements.
16) Changes to the Services or Terms
We may modify the Services or these Terms. If we make material changes, we will provide notice (e.g., in-app, email, or by posting). Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
17) Governing law; dispute resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah (USA), without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
Informal resolution. Contact contact@sonofdavid.music first; most issues resolve quickly.
Arbitration (U.S. users): Except for small-claims court or injunctive relief for IP/security, any dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the JAMS Rules. No class actions. Venue: Salt Lake County, Utah, unless the arbitrator permits remote proceedings. This clause is intended to be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. If unenforceable, disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts in Salt Lake County, Utah, and you consent to jurisdiction there.
EEA/UK users retain any non-waivable forum rights under local law.
18) Miscellaneous
- Entire Agreement. These Terms + Privacy Policy are the entire agreement.
- Severability. If a provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect.
- No waiver. Failure to enforce is not a waiver.
- Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign as part of reorganization, merger, or sale.
