This policy explains how we collect, use, and manage data when you visit and interact with our website. It includes cookies, pixels, server-side tracking, and other technologies. It also outlines how and why we collect information, always respecting your choices.

We are committed to transparency and only activate non-essential data collection with your explicit consent.

1. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include:

Web beacons (also called pixels or clear gifs): small files that help us track visits or email interactions.

Server-side tools: technologies that record user interactions without using browser storage.

These tools help us understand how visitors use our platform, improve the experience, and — with your consent — support communication and insights into user engagement.

2. Why do we collect data?

We collect and process data to:

• Ensure the website functions properly
• Monitor site performance and resolve issues
• Understand how users navigate and interact with our platform
• Improve the design and experience of our services
• Measure and enhance our own communication and outreach efforts (with consent)
• Help event organizers better understand interest in their events

Some tools use browser cookies. Others operate server-side using secure, privacy-conscious methods such as hashed identifiers or data from form submissions — always in accordance with your preferences.

3. Types of data collection tools we use

Essential cookies

Required for the website to function. These include login, session management, and security features.

Performance and functionality cookies

Support enhanced site features. If disabled, parts of the site may not work as intended.

Analytics cookies

Help us understand site usage, so we can improve features and layout.

Personalization and engagement tools

Used — only if you opt in — to tailor your experience and track interactions such as email engagement or specific actions on our website. These tools do not rely on cookies but use secure, server-based tracking.

Organizer tools

Event organizers may use cookies or other technologies on our platform to analyze engagement and interest in their listings. These are operated independently and do not store personal identifiable information.

Third-party websites using Toon's platform

Some websites use Toon's platform services for their own tracking and analytics needs. It's important to understand the distinction between Toon's own data collection and website owner data collection:

Toon's data collection:

When you visit Toon's main application (toon.fm), we collect data to improve our services, understand user behavior, and enhance the platform experience. This data belongs to Toon and is subject to our privacy practices.

Website owner data collection:

When you visit a website that uses Toon's platform services, the website owner may choose to implement their own tracking and analytics. In such cases:

• Toon does not keep track of usage on provisioned websites
• The website owner has full ownership of any data they collect
• Any data-related inquiries should be directed to the website owner
• Toon can assist in intermediating contact when the website owner's contact information is not easily accessible

Each website owner is responsible for their own data practices, compliance with applicable laws, and handling any data subject requests related to their website.

4. Updates to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes to our practices, technologies, or applicable regulations. Significant updates will be clearly communicated.
