SongTyping is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data.
Data we collect
- Usage data: We collect anonymous usage statistics such as songs played and play counts to improve the service and display popularity rankings.

- You can control ad personalisation at Google My Ad Center, and opt out of personalised advertising from many vendors at aboutads.info/choices.
- Visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland are shown a consent prompt before personalised ads are served, and can change that choice at any time.
- For more detail, see How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Third-party services
