These clear GIFs tell us whether you opened the newsletter, clicked on any of the content or forwarded the newsletter to someone else. This provides us with useful information regarding the effectiveness of our email newsletters, which we can use to ensure that we are delivering information that is relevant to our users.</p></li> <li><p><strong>Flash cookies</strong>: We use Flash cookies to synchronize information between multiple SoundCloud® players. This ensures that one player is stopped when another player starts. <strong>We do not use Flash cookies for the purposes of collecting any personal data, and do not use Flash cookies to respawn any cookies that you might previously have deleted.</strong></p></li> <li><p><strong>HTML5 local storage</strong>: We use HTML5 local storage to store your default listening volume (i.e. the volume at which you prefer to hear sounds on SoundCloud®) and, in the case of pro users, to set the widget control color. If you access the mobile version of our website, we use HTML5 local storage to store certain cookie data, including your user plan, authentication data, your username and your display preferences. We further use HTML5 local storage to store the track IDs of the last 250 tracks you have listened to. This information helps us to suggest content that you might enjoy when you visit the Platform without being logged in or when you sign up for a SoundCloud account. Depending on your browser you can remove local storage when clearing your cache and cookies. <strong>We do not use HTML5 local storage to collect any personal data.</strong></p></li> <li><p><strong>Activity Tracking</strong>: In our apps we make use of Appboy, an in-app analytics and messaging service provided by Appboy, Inc. (<strong>“Appboy”</strong>). When you launch a SoundCloud App, Appboy collects and stores usage data from our iOS and Android mobile apps on our behalf in order to help us understand how users are interacting with our apps for the purpose to customize the app experience to users’ needs and to engage with them. Appboy is used to track activities within the App such as likes, follows and plays. This information, including your IP address, is transmitted and stored by Appboy on servers in the United States. For more information see <a href="https://www.appboy.com/privacy">Appboy’s privacy policy</a>. If you wish to opt out of Appboy tracking, please see the <a href="#opting-out">Opting Out</a> section below.</p></li> <li><p><strong>App performance tracking</strong>: Our mobile apps use the app performance and analysis technology “adjust”, a service provided by Adjust GmbH (<strong>"Adjust"</strong>). When you launch the SoundCloud app, Adjust collects install and event data such as the number of tracks played and the listening time from our iOS and Android mobile apps in order to help us understand how our users are interacting with our apps and to optimize and analyze mobile ad campaigns. For such analysis, Adjust uses your anonymized (hashed) IDFA or Android ID, and your anonymized (hashed) IP- and MAC address. The hashes used are one-way hashes and it is not possible to identify you or your mobile device individually. If you wish to opt-out of Adjust tracking, please see the <a href="#opting-out">Opting Out</a> section below.</p></li> <li><p><strong>Bug reporting</strong>: We work with Crashlytics, Inc (<strong>“Crashlytics”</strong>) to report any bug affecting our iOS and Android mobile apps. If either app crashes during normal use, the app will send certain information about the incident to Crashlytics. This information consists of the device type, OS version and certain hardware information about your mobile device, and the time of the crash, the state of the application at the time of the crash, and stack traces. The information does not include your IP address or any other information that could be used to identify you or your mobile device individually, and does not include any other information from your mobile device. Click <a href="http://try.crashlytics.com/terms/">here</a> to review Crashlytics' privacy policy. To opt out of bug reporting please see the <a href="#opting-out">Opting Out</a> section below.</p></li> <li><p><strong>Personalized advertising on mobile devices</strong>: Where cookie technology is not available other unique identifiers may be used instead (e.g. in mobile applications), which perform similar functions, such as IDFA, Android-ID or the Google Advertiser ID. To opt-out of identifiers on mobile, please see the <a href="#opting-out">Opting Out</a> section below.</p></li> </ul> <h2 id="opting-out">Opting out</h2> <p>We think it’s important that you are able to control the collection of personal data relating to your use of SoundCloud®, and have therefore made sure that you can opt out of any personal data collection using cookies or other technologies as set out below.
