Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 2, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how DataStorm Insights LLC collects, uses, and protects information during your streaming experience.
1. Information We Collect
We prioritize data minimization. We do not require account registration to access our general content.
A. Usage Data (Automatic)
- Engagement Metrics: We track audio playback (starts, stops, speed) and e-reader activity (scroll depth, reading time) to see which stories resonate most.
- Technical Data: IP address (anonymized), browser type, and device identifiers for security and performance.
B. Voluntary Data
- Direct Submissions: If you voluntarily submit feedback or subscribe via our support tools, we collect the email address and comments you provide.
2. Use of AI and Data
DataStorm Insights LLC uses the collected data to maintain our streaming service and detect technical issues.
AI Protection: We do not use your personal interaction data to train third-party AI models. Our audiobooks are AI-narrated, but your listening habits remain private and are not shared with the AI providers used to generate our content.
3. Cookies & Global Privacy Control (GPC)
We use essential cookies to remember your playback position in an audiobook.
2026 Compliance Note: Our site is designed to recognize and honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals sent by your browser. If your browser transmits a "Do Not Track" or GPC signal, we automatically limit non-essential tracking.
4. Your Rights (CCPA/GDPR/State Laws)
Regardless of your location, you have the right to:
- Know: Request a disclosure of the categories of data we have collected in the last 12 months.
- Delete: Request the deletion of any personal data (such as emails sent to us).
- Opt-Out: Since we do not sell your personal data, no opt-out of "sale" is necessary, but you may opt-out of non-essential analytics.
5. Data Retention
Usage data for the audiobook player is typically retained for 30 days in an identifiable form before being anonymized or deleted, unless required for legal or security purposes.
