Privacy Concerns

What Data is Collected

Qmusic NL collects listening history, app usage patterns, and device identifiers. DPG Media's identity and profile services capture account information and consent preferences.

Third-Party Data Sharing

User data is shared with the following third parties:

• Firebase (Google) - app analytics, crash reporting, performance monitoring, and push notifications
• Google Mobile Ads - targeted advertising based on usage data
• Google Tag Manager - tag and event management for analytics
• Facebook SDK - behavioral analytics and advertising attribution
• Adjust SDK - campaign attribution and install tracking
• Gemius SDK - audience measurement
• DPG Media - user profile management, consent handling, and identity services

Understanding the Scores

Positive Security Features

• The app uses established, well-known third-party services rather than obscure data brokers or unvetted analytics providers.
• DPG Media's Privacy Gate integration provides a structured consent management layer, giving users a defined way to manage privacy preferences.
• Data sharing is contained to a known set of advertising and analytics partners with clear, disclosed purposes.

Areas for Improvement

• Data storage on the device could be more tightly controlled to reduce how long cached content remains accessible to other processes.
• Analytics data collection shares some behavioral data with advertising partners, and more granular opt-out controls presented within the app would give users greater choice over what is shared.
• A small number of network configuration choices have room to align more closely with current best practices, though the overall network security posture remains strong.
