What information is Roon server collecting from me?

[danny (Danny Dulai)]

As noted above, your music collection does not qualify as your linked or unlinked personal data, nor is your play history or any other thing we collect about how you use Roon.

This only applies to your “personal information”, “payment information”, and “location information” as per our privacy policy. The rest does not fall under any of these laws because it can not be tied back to you personally.

where is stored the information you collect from me ?, Is it transferred outside of the EU by any chance ?,

It is stored in the US. If you have a problem with that, let us know and we will cancel your account. We will get that added to the T&C so accepting it qualifies you to accept it.

Is it share with any third party in any way, shape or form ?.

Yes it is, I answered this here, as stated above by @Martin_Webster

To answer your other EC information:

• the name of the company or organisation that is processing your data (including the contact details of the DPO, if there is one);

Roon Labs LLC

• the purposes for which the company/organisation will use your data;

To provide functionality and support for the software Roon, and the services associated with your subscription. Your email is your login, your name is used for addressing you, and your IP/location is used for licensing copyright materials.

• the categories of personal data concerned;

This is all listed on the privacy policy under personal information, payment information, location information.

• the legal basis for processing your personal data;

The name/email is for obvious reasons. The questionable one is location/IP, and that is for copyright reporting.

• the length of time for which your data will be stored;

I noted this above.

• other companies/organisations that will receive your data;

I noted this above. None.

• whether data will be transferred outside the EU;

Yes.

• your basic rights in the field of data protection (for example, the right to access and transfer data or have it removed);

You can change it all or cancel your account.

• the right to lodge a complaint with a Data Protection Authority (DPA);

We are not stopping you

• the right to withdraw your consent at any time;

Just cancel your membership and/or change what you want. We will remove all except what was noted above.

• the existence of automated decision-making and the logic involved, including the consequences thereof.

There are none.

It is a good idea though to have an external audit for this matter. Data protection and online privacy is a serious matter here in Europe for consumers and service providers alike.

It is for us too. We have worked hard to do the lawful thing. As for an auditor, I don’t think you realize that we are under 20 employees, and quite a small company. We are doing well, but the costs associated with an audit like this are quite large.

I am using my trial period with Roon to not only evaluate the product, but also the company policies and respect for consumer privacy.

We’ve architected our system so that it fits the legal requirements, not so it meets the needs of every person that has their own personal definition of “privacy”.

If you don’t like that your Roon usage is known to us, vote with your dollars. If you are worried about us telling someone that Pepe A listens to Michael Jackson, you have nothing to worry about. If you are worried about adding a tick to Michael Jackson’s popularity, now is the time to leave.
