Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 9, 2026

Garimpa.Club ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect:

• Email address — used for authentication and account recovery
• Name and username — displayed on your public profile
• Avatar — provided by your authentication provider or uploaded by you

Profile Data

Your public profile includes your username, display name, avatar, and any public lists you create. This information is visible to other users.

Collection Data

We store information about your music collection, wishlists, and custom lists. This data is associated with your account and may be publicly visible depending on your settings.

Authentication Data

We use third-party authentication providers (such as Google and GitHub) to manage sign-in. We receive limited profile information from these providers as part of the authentication process. We do not store your passwords.

Usage Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how people use Garimpa.Club and to improve the Service. It may collect pages visited, referring pages, device and browser information, and bounded interactions with features and shared links.

For signed-in users, Google Analytics may receive your stable Garimpa account ID so activity can be associated across sessions. We do not send your name, username, email address, telephone number, authentication session ID, search text, or form values as analytics properties.

When you select an offer, Garimpa records a bounded operational click before redirecting you to the store. With your consent, we may also send Google Analytics the offer, provider, page surface, item type, and Google client and session identifiers. The operational record can include your account ID when signed in. We do not send authentication session IDs or visitor fingerprints to Google Analytics.

Cookies

We use essential cookies for:

• Authentication — to keep you signed in
• Locale, time zone, and currency preferences — to keep formatting consistent across visits
• Login redirects — to return you to the page you were viewing after sign-in

Google measurement uses cookieless signals until you allow cookies. If you allow cookies, analytics and advertising cookies may be set or read to measure visits, attribute conversions, and create remarketing audiences. The embedded YouTube player may set its own cookies in accordance with Google's policies.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Provide and maintain the Service
• Display your public profile and lists to other users
• Authenticate your identity
• Send essential communications (account security, service updates)
• Improve the Service

3. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with:

• Service providers — infrastructure and hosting services necessary to operate the platform
• Legal requirements — when required by law or to protect our rights

4. Third-Party Services

Garimpa.Club uses data from:

• Discogs — music release database (subject to Discogs' Terms of Service)
• Fanart.tv — artist and album artwork
• Google Analytics and advertising services — aggregate page-view and account-creation conversion measurement and, when you allow cookies, remarketing (subject to Google's Privacy Policy)
• YouTube API Services — embedded video playback (subject to Google's Privacy Policy). The embedded YouTube player may collect usage data in accordance with Google's privacy practices.

These services have their own privacy policies that govern their data practices.

5. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account:

• Your profile, lists, and collection data are permanently deleted
• Some anonymized data may be retained for service improvement

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and secure authentication practices. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access your personal data through your account settings
• Update your profile information at any time
• Delete your account and all associated data
• Export your collection and list data

To exercise these rights, visit your account settings or contact us.
