Melodio has a diverse community of users in various ages. However, for users in the United States, Melodio is not directed to any minors under the age of 13. If we become aware that any Personal Data has been collected by us from a user under the age of 13, we will delete such Personal Data and terminate the user’s account. If you believe that we have collected Personal Data from a minor under the age of 13, please contact us by using the contact details provided in the “How to contact us” section below. For users in other regions, in order to protect the privacy and Personal Data of minors, we will obtain parental or legal guardian’s consent where the local laws in your country or region require before processing minors’ Personal Data. Please note, we will limit the types and scope of Personal Data collected from minors as much as possible and also limit the functions available to minors.
The scope of Personal Data we collect depends on the functions of the Service you use and how you use these functions. The purposes and types of Personal Data we collect are summarized in the below.
A. The Personal Data you directly provide to us
Registration and Login. If you choose to register for a Melodio account by email, we may need to collect your basic profile information, included but not limited to your user nickname, avatar, email and password. If you refuse to provide such Personal Data, you will not be able to complete the registration process and will not be able to access or use any of our Service. New users of Melodio may also log in through a third-party platform account (e.g., Apple or Google) (please refer to Section 1.C below for more information).
Voice Data. We may use your voice data via the recordings, audio files, videos you uploaded to create AI music output via Large Language Model (LLM) that can be utilized by other users. More specifically, this AI music output may contain your unique vocal characteristics, allowing others to listen, distribute and utilize.
Creating UGC and Sharing. When you post any user-generated content (“UGC”), e.g., upload audio reference (if any) and create your AI music work within Melodio, we may need to collect the UGC you post, the time you post, location data, recordings or unique voice samples, etc. depending on the specific function you use.
Contact. We may use the contact information provided by you (e.g., email address) to conduct user survey or to send you information about products and services that may be of interest to you. Where required by applicable laws and regulations, we will obtain your consent before sending you marketing messages. If you are not interested in such information, you may refuse at any time during the communication, for example, by clicking on the unsubscribe/refuse option or sending us a reply to opt-out.
B. The Personal Data provided by you or generated during your use of Melodio
Content Viewing. Any user can view publicly available UGC within Melodio and you do not need to register a Melodio account or login to view such UGC via our website. Whether you are viewing after login or as a visitor, we may collect your browsing history so that you can record and further explore the content you have viewed.
Input Message. When you use the music creating function, we may collect your text data and/or voice data from your uploaded audio refence (if any), depending on the specific method you use. We process your input data only for the music creation and security purposes, such as automatic screening illegal information about pornography, violence, or scams.
