Kwemo Privacy Policy
Last updated: 25 July 2026
Kwemo is a music rating and discussion app. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what you can do about it. If anything here is unclear, email hello@kwemo.fm.
What we collect
- Account details — the email address and display name you sign up with, handled by Google Firebase Authentication.
- What you create in the app — your ratings, reviews, posts, comments, forum threads, saved songs, concert badges, and the picks on your Kwemo card.
- Who you follow, so your feed and follower counts work.
- Listening history — only if you connect Spotify or Apple Music. See below.
- Push notification tokens, only if you turn on notifications.
Connecting Spotify or Apple Music
Connecting is entirely optional, and Kwemo works without it. If you do connect:
- We read your recently played tracks to build your listening recap and the "Right now" side of your Kwemo card.
- With your permission we can follow artists and create a playlist in your account — only when you tap the button that does it.
- Your access token is stored on your own device, not on our servers.
- We never receive your Spotify or Apple Music password.
- You can disconnect at any time from your Kwemo profile, and revoke Kwemo's access from your Spotify account page.
Spotify and Apple Music are trademarks of their respective owners. Kwemo is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by either company.
What other people can see
Kwemo is a social app, so some things are visible to other signed-in users by design: your display name, your Kwemo card, your ratings and rankings, your posts and comments, your concert badges, and your follower and following lists.
Your listening snapshot ("Right now") is shared with other users only while the Share my listening setting is on. Turn it off in your profile settings and the stored snapshot is deleted.
Your email address is never shown to other users.
What we do not do
- We do not sell your data.
- We do not share your data with advertisers.
- We do not use your listening history to train machine learning models.
- We do not track you across other websites.
Where your data lives
Kwemo runs on Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Functions, Hosting, and Cloud Messaging). Data is stored on Google's servers and protected by security rules that restrict each record to its owner.
Deleting your data
You can delete individual ratings, posts, and comments in the app. To delete your account and everything attached to it, email hello@kwemo.fm from your account's email address and we will remove it.
Children
Kwemo is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.
Changes
If this policy changes materially, we will update the date at the top and note the change in the app.
