At TheGlobeTop100, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website.
1. Data We Collect
As we do not operate user accounts, we collect minimal data:
- Technical Data: IP address, browser type, and location (country level) to help us analyse the global reach of our charts.
- Usage Data: Information about how you use our site, such as which tracks you play.
2. How We Use Your Data (Our Legal Basis)
We process this data based on "Legitimate Interests." We use the data to refine the "Impact Score" of tracks across different regions and to improve the music discovery experience for our visitors. This does not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
3. Third-Party Services
- Fonts: We use Google Fonts to ensure our website displays correctly. When you visit our site, your browser may request these fonts from Google’s servers, which may log technical data such as your IP address.
- Audio Previews: Our audio previews are self-hosted on our own servers. We do not use third-party streaming widgets (such as Spotify or Deezer players), so no third-party tracking cookies or data collection occurs when you play a song on our site.
4. Data Retention & Security
We store data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, typically for the statistical analysis of chart trends. We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access.
5. Your Legal Rights
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), you have the right to:
- Request access to, correction of, or erasure of your personal data.
- Object to the processing of your data.
- Withdraw consent (where applicable).
