Privacy Policy
Last Updated: December 29, 2025
1. Overview
Sidehall ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our music-based pairing service through Slack and Spotify.
2. Information We Collect
To provide our service, we collect the following information:
- Slack Workspace Data: We collect your Slack user ID, workspace ID, and basic profile information (name, avatar) to facilitate pairings within your organization.
- Spotify Data: When you connect your Spotify account, we access your top artists, tracks, playlists, and recently played tracks. We use this data to generate pairing matches, track your "New Discoveries," and show you your sync history. We do not store your entire historical listening library.
- Contact Information: We collect your work email address to manage your account and send service-related notifications.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
- To generate monthly music-based pairings between members of the same Slack workspace.
- To display shared musical interests between paired users.
- To provide you with personal "New Discoveries" reports and sync history.
- To provide and improve the Sidehall service.
- To communicate with you about your account or service updates.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal data. We only share your music preferences with the specific person you are paired with each month. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights.
5. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Your Rights and Choices
You can disconnect your Spotify or Slack accounts at any time through the Sidehall settings. You may also request the deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
