Your data
is yours.
No fine print. No data brokers. No profiles built behind your back. This is what we actually do — and what we never do.
Your data is yours. We will never share it with anyone — unless a court orders us to.
If you pay for Diaspora Flows, your data stays on Diaspora Flows. It goes to Stripe to process your payment, and nowhere else — ever. Not to advertisers. Not to labels. Not to anyone.
Ads based on what's playing — not who you are.
We serve ads to fund the free tier and the artist royalty pool. But the targeting is contextual — based on the music, not on you. Five signals. Nothing personal. Nothing leaves the platform about you as a person.
The only five things we use.
This is the complete list of data used to serve ads to free listeners. Not a summary. The whole thing.
What's playing right now — Highlife, Amapiano, Soca. Content metadata about the music, not about you.
Your country, from your billing address. Not your city. Not your neighbourhood. Country only.
Mobile, desktop, or tablet. Used only to format the ad correctly. Not used for targeting.
Morning, afternoon, or evening. Rounded to a four-hour window. A timestamp — not a pattern about you.
Whether you're on the free tier. Binary. Determines whether an ad is shown at all.
Advertisers buy 'Amapiano listeners, South Africa, weekend evenings.' They do not receive your name, your account, or anything that identifies you as a person.
