Genius Media Group, Inc.

Genius is a digital media company that operates a massive, crowdsourced database primarily focused on song lyrics and their interpretations. Originally launched as Rap Genius with a focus on hip-hop, the platform has expanded to include a wide range of content where over two million contributors can upload, transcribe, and annotate lyrics, news stories, and other texts. Verified artists can also participate by providing their own annotations and context for their work. While not a traditional data broker that exposes sensitive personal records, the platform's public and user-generated nature creates privacy considerations. Any information, opinions, or personal details shared by users in their public profiles and annotations are visible to everyone, which could be compiled or misused. To protect themselves, individuals should be cautious about the personal information they include in their public contributions and can request the deletion of their personal data.
