SoundCloud Global Limited & Co. KG

SoundCloud is a major online audio distribution and music-sharing platform that allows a global community of users to upload, stream, promote, and share audio content. With over 300 million tracks from 30 million artists in 193 countries, it serves as a social platform for both emerging artists and listeners to connect and interact. Users create profiles and can upload a variety of audio, which exposes personal information such as listening habits, user-generated content, email addresses, and IP addresses. This collection of personal data and user activity can create privacy risks, as this information could potentially be aggregated to build detailed user profiles for targeted advertising or other purposes. To protect their privacy, individuals should be mindful of the information they share publicly on their profiles, utilize account privacy settings to control who can see their activity, and regularly review SoundCloud's privacy policy to stay informed about how their data is being used.
