When you use the Dance Freex Radio website, limited technical information may be collected automatically by our website platform and service providers. This can include information such as browser type, device type, IP address, general usage information and cookies or similar technologies where applicable.
If you contact Dance Freex Radio directly, we may also receive information that you choose to provide, such as your name, email address and the contents of your message.

DFR20 AND MUSIC DATA
Dance Freex Radio operates DFR20, an internal music intelligence and discovery system.
DFR20 helps us identify, catalogue and understand music recordings and their presence across legitimate third-party music platforms.
This may involve processing publicly available information relating to music recordings, releases, artists and associated content.
DFR20 is designed to distinguish between information about music and recordings and information relating to individual users. We do not use DFR20 to build profiles of individual listeners or to monitor their personal viewing or listening behaviour.
YOUTUBE API SERVICES
DFR20 uses YouTube API Services, including the YouTube Data API.
The YouTube API is used to search for music recordings and retrieve publicly available information associated with relevant YouTube videos. This may include:
video IDs and URLs;
video titles;
channel or uploader names and channel identifiers;
publication dates;
video duration;
publicly available engagement statistics such as view, like and comment counts; and
other publicly available metadata supplied through the YouTube Data API.
This information is used for music identification, catalogue research, music discovery and analysis relating to Dance Freex Radio's programming and music ecosystem.
Dance Freex Radio does not use DFR20 to obtain YouTube passwords or login credentials.
DFR20 currently accesses public YouTube information using application credentials and does not require listeners or website visitors to sign into their YouTube or Google accounts.
DFR20 does not upload, modify or delete YouTube content and does not perform actions on behalf of YouTube users.
Use of YouTube-related functionality is subject to the YouTube Terms of Service.
Information provided by Google and YouTube is also subject to the Google Privacy Policy.
STORAGE OF YOUTUBE API DATA
DFR20 may temporarily retain information obtained through the YouTube Data API where necessary for music identification, catalogue resolution, avoiding unnecessary repeated searches, and maintaining the operation of the service.
Stored YouTube API data is managed in accordance with applicable YouTube API Services policies, including requirements concerning refreshing or deleting stored API data.
YouTube remains the authoritative source for YouTube content and associated metadata.
We do not sell personal information obtained through YouTube API Services.
