Privacy Policy of zvyk.me

1. Who is responsible for data processing

The administration of zvyk.me determines the purposes and methods of processing the data necessary for the website to work. Questions about privacy can be sent through the feedback form.

2. What data may be processed

• Technical information: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, address of the requested page, referral source, date and time of the request, error and security logs.
• Account data: username, email address, a secure representation of the password and profile details, if you register or sign in to the website.
• Data provided voluntarily: the text and contact details in complaints, comments or other forms on the website.
• Data about the use of music features: selected tracks, playlists, listening and download history, ratings, player settings and other actions you take on the website.
• Local browser data: recent searches, display mode of lists, player state and temporary interface markers.

We do not ask you to provide special categories of personal data unless it is necessary to process a particular request.

3. Where the information comes from

Data comes directly from you, automatically from your browser and device, and is also created while you interact with zvyk.me features. We do not collect more information than is needed for the purposes defined in this Policy.

4. How the data is used

• to open pages, play music and make downloads work;
• for registration, authorisation, comments and feedback;
• to save favourites, playlists, history and user settings;
• to protect accounts, prevent abuse and diagnose errors;
• to analyse the stability, performance and usability of the website;
• to comply with legal requirements and properly handle legitimate requests.

The basis for processing, depending on the situation, is providing the requested function, a legitimate interest in the safe and stable operation of the website, your consent or an obligation established by law. zvyk.me does not apply automated decisions that by themselves create legal or similar significant consequences for you.

5. Cookies and browser storage

The website uses cookies, localStorage and sessionStorage. They are needed for the session and authorisation, form protection, saving player settings, playlist display mode, recent searches and the temporary state of your actions. Some of these records are deleted when the session ends, others are stored longer to remember your choices.

Cookies and local data can be cleared or limited in your browser settings. If necessary cookies are blocked, account sign-in, playlists, the player or some interface elements may not work correctly.

6. Third-party services and external resources

To display fonts and load the technical library of the interface, the website uses Google services, including Google Fonts and Google Hosted Libraries. During such a request the provider may receive your IP address, browser data, the page address and the time of the request in accordance with its own privacy rules.

Some pages may contain external media, links or embedded materials. Your interaction with them is governed by the rules of the relevant provider. The administration does not transfer personal data to third parties for their independent advertising, but may involve hosting providers, technical suppliers or comply with a lawful request from an authorised body.

7. Retention period

Data is stored no longer than is necessary for the purposes of its processing, the security of the website, fulfilling your request or complying with the law. The period depends on the type of information: session data may be short-lived, browser settings are kept until you clear them, and account information and related actions are kept until the account is deleted or until they are no longer needed.

After the required period ends, the information is deleted, depersonalised or retained only when its further storage is directly required by law.

8. Information security

To protect data, technical and organisational measures are used: a secure HTTPS connection, access control, permission separation, security logs and software updates. No method of data transmission or storage guarantees absolute security, so we regularly review the available protection measures.

9. Your rights

Within the limits of the law you may:

• find out about the sources, composition, storage location and purpose of processing your data;
• get access to your personal data;
• request the correction of inaccurate or outdated information;
• ask to delete your data or restrict its processing if there is no lawful basis for further storage;
• withdraw consent when the processing is based on it;
• object to the processing and file a complaint with the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights or with a court.

To protect against unauthorised access, we may ask you to confirm your identity. The response is provided within the timeframes set by applicable law.

10. Children’s data

The website is not specifically intended for minors to provide personal data on their own. If parental consent is required by the age or legislation of the user, the relevant features should be used only after such consent is obtained. A legal representative may contact the administration to clarify or delete a child’s data.

11. Links to other websites

zvyk.me may contain links to third-party resources. This Policy does not apply to their pages, so before providing data we recommend reading the documents of the relevant resource.

12. Updates to the Policy

The Policy may change together with the website’s features or legal requirements. The current version is always posted on this page, and the date of the last update is indicated at the beginning of the document. If changes materially affect how data is processed, we will notify you in a way available on the website.

13. Contacts

To ask a question, exercise your rights or report a privacy issue, send a message through the contact page of zvyk.me. In your message, provide enough information to find the relevant data, but do not send your password or other secret details.
