JamStream does NOT record, store, or permanently retain audio streams. Audio is transmitted directly between users' devices via encrypted WebRTC peer-to-peer connections. JamStream's servers act as WebRTC signaling intermediaries but do not intercept, process, or retain audio content. TURN server relay (used as fallback when direct P2P is unavailable) transmits but does not store audio. Audio data transiting TURN servers is encrypted using DTLS-SRTP and not accessible to JamStream staff.
JamStream recognizes that voice data may constitute biometric information under certain state laws including the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA, 740 ILCS 14/), the Texas Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier (CUBI) Act, Washington My Health My Data Act, and equivalent laws. JamStream's position on voice data:
Coin purchase processing. Coin purchases are processed exclusively by PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A. ("PayPal"), a PCI-DSS compliant third-party processor. JamStream does not store raw payment card numbers, CVV codes, or full payment account details. JamStream retains: PayPal order/transaction identifiers; gross USD amounts; coin-pack identifier; timestamps; partial payment-method descriptors (e.g., last four digits where surfaced by PayPal). These records are retained for billing reconciliation, fraud prevention, tax compliance, and accounting purposes per Section 7 (7-year retention).
Creator payout (cash-out) processing. Where you submit a Creator Payout request (Section 8.14 of the Terms), JamStream collects and stores: the PayPal email address you provide; the amount in Coins and equivalent USD; a list of consumed earning ledger entries (computed and stored at submission); status; processing timestamps; the PayPal transaction ID returned by PayPal after a successful payout. The PayPal email is also remembered as a saved field on your Account record for convenience on future requests; you can change or remove it at any time by submitting a new request with a different email. JamStream does not have access to your PayPal account credentials, balance, or other PayPal-side data.
Tax reporting. Where applicable thresholds are met, PayPal issues IRS Form 1099-K to U.S. recipients. JamStream does NOT issue Form 1099-NEC for payouts processed via PayPal (because PayPal, as a third-party settlement organization, is the reporting party for those payments). JamStream may issue or be required to issue tax forms in non-U.S. jurisdictions where local law applies; recipients will be notified.
If you contact JamStream support, submit a DMCA notice, send an abuse report, or otherwise communicate with us directly, we collect and retain those communications and their metadata for the purpose of resolving your inquiry and for quality and legal purposes.
If you use Google or another third-party service to sign in, we receive limited profile data from that service (typically: name, email, profile picture) as authorized by you under that service's terms. We do not receive your third-party service password.
JamStream allows users to access certain Service features as a "Guest" without registering a full account. When you use the Service as a Guest, Firebase Authentication automatically assigns you an anonymous unique identifier (UID) stored in your browser. We disclose the following about Guest accounts:

Each processor is bound by a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) compliant with GDPR Article 28 and equivalent laws. Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) are in place for data transfers to non-adequate third countries.
Your username, display name, profile picture, public profile, and Content you share in public Rooms, Battles, and Concerts is visible to other Service users and potentially the general public. Once shared publicly, this information may be cached or re-shared beyond our control.
We may disclose your personal information to law enforcement agencies, courts, government authorities, or other authorized parties when: (a) required by applicable law, court order, subpoena, or legal process; (b) necessary to prevent, detect, or investigate crimes; (c) required to respond to mandatory reporting obligations (including CSAM reports to NCMEC); (d) necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of JamStream, our users, or others; or (e) necessary in connection with enforcement of these Terms. We will endeavor to notify you of legal demands for your data where legally permitted, except where such notice is prohibited by law or in urgent circumstances.
JamStream cooperates with law enforcement and government agencies in accordance with applicable law. When JamStream receives valid legal process (subpoenas, court orders, warrants, or equivalent international instruments), JamStream may: (a) disclose user data and account information to the requesting authority without prior notice to the user, where providing notice is legally prohibited or would obstruct the investigation; (b) preserve user data pending receipt of formal legal process upon an informal request from law enforcement; (c) report suspected criminal activity — including CSAM, terrorism, sex trafficking, and serious threats to life — to relevant authorities proactively, without waiting for legal process. Where legally permitted, JamStream will notify affected users of legal requests for their data. JamStream will not disclose law enforcement requests where doing so is prohibited by law (e.g., under a court order sealing the request). JamStream challenges overbroad or legally deficient legal process through available legal channels. Users may contact legal@jamstream.live for information about JamStream's law enforcement guidelines, subject to applicable legal restrictions.
If JamStream is involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, your personal information may be transferred to the acquiring entity or new owner. We will provide advance notice where required by applicable law and, where required, seek consent for material changes to data processing.
We may share aggregated or de-identified data that cannot reasonably be used to identify any individual for analytics, research, marketing, or promotional purposes, without restriction.
| Data Category | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Active Account data | Duration of Account | Service provision |
| Account data after deletion | 90 days post-deletion request | Backup, fraud prevention |
| Coin purchase transaction records (PayPal) | 7 years from transaction | Israeli tax law (Income Tax Ordinance §131), U.S. and E.U. tax compliance, AML |
| Earnings ledger entries | 7 years from earning event | Tax/AML compliance; required to substantiate creator income |
| Withdrawal requests (paid, rejected, cancelled, expired) | 7 years from final processing | Tax/AML compliance, dispute defense, fraud audit |
| Transaction history (in-Service Coin movements: tips, gifts, ticket sales) | 3 years from event (or longer if subject to legal hold) | User dispute support, fraud investigation |
| Chat messages | 90 days, or until deletion | Service delivery |
| Moderation records & bans | 5 years from incident | Safety, legal defense |
| DMCA records | As required by US Copyright law | Legal compliance |
| NCII removal records (TAKE IT DOWN Act) | 3 years from removal | Compliance audit; cooperation with future legal process |

| Server access logs | 90 days | Security, debugging |
| Legal hold data | Duration of legal proceedings + applicable statute of limitations | Legal defense |
| Backup data | Up to 30 days after deletion | Disaster recovery |
We may retain certain data beyond these periods where required by applicable law or where retention is necessary for establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. The 7-year retention for financial records aligns with Israeli accounting and tax-record retention requirements.
JamStream implements appropriate technical and organizational security measures, including:
No security system is perfectly impenetrable. In the event of a personal data breach, we will notify affected users and applicable supervisory authorities within the timeframes required by law:
Breach notifications will specifically identify: (a) the categories of data affected; (b) whether specific users' data was confirmed accessed or stolen (not merely "may have been exposed"); (c) the steps we have taken to address the breach; and (d) steps you can take to protect yourself. We maintain this standard in part because courts (e.g., Greenstein v. Noblr, 9th Cir. 2024) have held that vague "may have been exposed" notices are insufficient to establish standing for affected users. We will provide details of the breach, data affected, and steps taken to mitigate harm.
To protect children, comply with mandatory reporting obligations, and enforce these policies, JamStream operates a multi-layered automated and human-reviewed safety system. This Section describes that system in plain language so you understand what we scan, why we scan it, what we report, to whom, and when. For the full standalone framework — including evidence preservation, internal SLAs, and trusted-flagger procedures — see our Child Safety & CSAM Reporting Policy (accessible via the dedicated tab in this legal modal or via the footer link).
| What is scanned | Method | Where | Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chat messages, Room names, profile fields, public display name, public bio, and other public text User Content | Server-side automated keyword/pattern matching plus AI classifier; human review for escalations | Server-side at message creation and at rest in the Firestore database (EU + global regions) | Detect and remove prohibited content (Terms §10.1) including CSAM solicitation, sex-trafficking signals, doxing, credible threats, hate speech, harassment | Contract performance (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)); legal obligation (GDPR Art. 6(1)(c)); legitimate interest in user safety and platform integrity (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)); analogous bases under Israeli PPL Amendment 13 and other applicable laws |
| User-uploaded images (profile photos, concert covers, and any other image content uploaded to JamStream's servers) | Perceptual-hash matching against the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) database of known CSAM hashes, using Microsoft PhotoDNA Cloud Service. PhotoDNA converts images into one-way "perceptual hashes" — irreversible numerical signatures that cannot be used to reconstruct the image — and compares those hashes to NCMEC's catalogued database of known illegal material. In parallel, the same image is screened by Sightengine AI classifiers for novel (previously unseen) CSAM, age-inappropriate content, weapons, gore, and offensive material. | Image content is hashed in transit by JamStream's server-side Cloud Function in europe-west1; hashes (not the images themselves) are submitted to the PhotoDNA Cloud Service. Match results are returned to JamStream. Sightengine receives the image URL for AI analysis. | Detect and prevent the distribution of known child sexual abuse material; comply with 18 U.S.C. § 2258A reporting obligations as a registered NCMEC ESP (JAMSTREAMLTD); comply with the EU Digital Services Act's child-protection obligations; comply with the UK Online Safety Act 2023 illegal-content duties; comply with the Israeli Penal Law obligations regarding child protection. | Legal obligation (GDPR Art. 6(1)(c) — 18 U.S.C. § 2258A; UK OSA; EU DSA Art. 28); substantial public interest in child protection (GDPR Art. 9(2)(g)); analogous bases under Israeli PPL §32; equivalent local lawful bases. |
| Behavioral signals (account creation patterns, repeated reports against the same user, abnormal spending patterns) | Aggregated rule-based detection; human review for escalations | Server-side | Fraud prevention, ban-evasion detection, coordinated abuse detection | Legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)); contract performance; legal obligation |
| Live audio streams (WebRTC peer-to-peer audio during Rooms, Battles, Concerts) | Not scanned by JamStream. Live audio is encrypted peer-to-peer via DTLS-SRTP and routed directly between participants. JamStream's servers do not relay or have access to the live audio stream content. | Peer-to-peer between participants; not on JamStream's servers | JamStream cannot scan content it does not access. User-to-user reports of audio incidents are investigated through the in-Service report flow. | — |
| Recordings (where a user opts to record their own performance) | If recordings are stored on JamStream-controlled storage in the future, they will be subject to the same image/text scanning regime as applicable. The current Service does not centrally store user audio recordings except as expressly disclosed in the recording feature flow. | — | — | — |
What PhotoDNA does. PhotoDNA is an industry-standard perceptual-hashing technology developed by Microsoft and Dartmouth College, used by Google, Meta, Twitter/X, Reddit, Discord, and most major user-generated-content platforms worldwide to detect previously catalogued child sexual abuse material. It operates as follows: (i) JamStream's server takes an uploaded image and converts it (one-way) into a "perceptual hash" — a numerical signature that captures the image's visual structure but cannot be reversed to reconstruct the image; (ii) the hash is submitted to the PhotoDNA Cloud Service, which compares it against NCMEC's database of hashes derived from previously verified CSAM; (iii) PhotoDNA returns a match / no-match result. The image itself is not stored by PhotoDNA; the hash database does not contain images; and the match process is one-way and privacy-preserving. PhotoDNA is run automatically on every image uploaded to JamStream's servers; no human at JamStream views your image content as part of the routine PhotoDNA workflow.
What PhotoDNA does not do. PhotoDNA does not (i) classify images for nudity, adult content, copyright infringement, or any purpose other than CSAM detection; (ii) identify individuals depicted in images; (iii) generate facial-recognition data, biometric templates, or other biometric identifiers (and JamStream does not process any other biometric identifiers under the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, the Texas CUBI, the Washington Biometric Privacy Act, or analogous laws); (iv) scan content stored on your own device. If a future version of the Service introduces any biometric processing, JamStream will obtain prior, separate, opt-in consent and will provide additional disclosures as required by applicable biometric-privacy law.
Use of Microsoft PhotoDNA Cloud Service. JamStream uses (or, where indicated, intends to use) the Microsoft PhotoDNA Cloud Service under the Microsoft PhotoDNA Cloud Service terms. By using the Service, you acknowledge and consent to: (a) automated submission of perceptual hashes (not images) of any image you upload to JamStream's servers, to the Microsoft PhotoDNA Cloud Service for comparison against NCMEC's hash database; (b) Microsoft providing aggregate match-count reports to NCMEC identifying JamStream as the originating service; (c) PhotoDNA's use solely for CSAM detection and not for any other content-classification or marketing purpose. JamStream confirms it does not use PhotoDNA to scan for any content category other than CSAM.
If automated scanning produces a match against NCMEC's hash database or human review confirms the presence of CSAM, JamStream takes the following steps without notice to the suspected user (because notice could destroy evidence and obstruct investigation):
Federal criminal nature. Possession, distribution, and production of CSAM are federal crimes in the United States (18 U.S.C. §§ 2251, 2252, 2252A) and serious offenses under the Israeli Penal Law (§§ 214, 214B), the UK Protection of Children Act 1978 and Criminal Justice Act 1988, EU Member State equivalents, and laws in essentially every jurisdiction worldwide. JamStream's mandatory reporting protects children, supports criminal investigation, and is not waivable by any user.
JamStream takes seriously the possibility of false-positive matches (which are statistically rare but possible due to perceptual-hash collisions or database errors). Specifically: (i) automated PhotoDNA matches are flagged for human review by JamStream's trust-and-safety team before any NCMEC report is filed; (ii) the JamStream reviewer's role is limited to confirming that the matched image is what the hash indicated; (iii) confirmed false positives result in no NCMEC report and no account action; (iv) any user who believes their account was suspended in error may contact abuse@jamstream.live for review (note: NCMEC reports, once filed, cannot be retracted by JamStream as a matter of federal law, and JamStream's review process is designed to prevent erroneous filings, not to undo them after the fact).
The following data subject rights apply, with the noted limitations specific to safety-scanning data:
The processors involved in safety scanning are listed in Section 6.2 of this Privacy Policy. PhotoDNA Cloud Service is provided by Microsoft Corporation under the Microsoft PhotoDNA Cloud Service Terms; submitting hashes to PhotoDNA does not constitute a transfer of identified personal data, but to the extent any associated metadata (e.g., a JamStream customer reference) constitutes personal data under applicable law, the transfer is covered by Microsoft's Data Protection Addendum and Standard Contractual Clauses where required.
JamStream is a strictly 18+ platform (Section 3 of the Terms; Section 10 of this Privacy Policy). The combination of date-of-birth verification at registration, phone-number verification before access to live features, server-side enforcement of underage rejection (Cloud Function enforceAgeVerification), and the safety-scanning regime described in this Section 8a is JamStream's defense-in-depth approach to keeping minors off the platform and to protecting any minor who improperly bypasses the gate. If you become aware of a minor on the platform, please report immediately to safety@jamstream.live.

JamStream is strictly an 18+ platform. We do not permit, target, or knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. This is an absolute restriction with no exceptions.
JamStream is based in Israel. Israel has received an adequacy decision from the European Commission, meaning transfers of EU/EEA personal data to Israel are lawful without additional safeguards. For transfers to countries without adequacy decisions (primarily through our third-party processors such as Google and Cloudflare), we rely on:
You may request information about transfer mechanisms by contacting privacy@jamstream.live.

Not applicable — this provision protects users who registered as minors. JamStream does not permit minor accounts.
If you are in the European Union or European Economic Area, you are protected by the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, "GDPR"). In addition to the rights listed in §9, you have:
Article 17 vs. Evidence Preservation. Where you exercise the Right to Erasure but JamStream is subject to a legal hold, criminal investigation, ongoing AML/sanctions review, or active legal proceedings involving your data, JamStream will retain the strictly necessary data under the GDPR Article 17(3)(b) (legal obligation) or 17(3)(e) (legal claims) exceptions. Affected data will be restricted from active processing per Art. 18 and used only for the qualifying purpose.
EU Representative (Article 27 GDPR). Effective May 25, 2026, JamStream has appointed iuro Rechtsanwälte GmbH t/a Prighter as its representative in the European Union under Article 27 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation. Although JamStream's processing scale does not currently mandate appointment (Israel benefits from a Commission adequacy decision and processing remains pre-launch and small-scale), the Representative is appointed proactively to provide EU data subjects and supervisory authorities a single, frictionless point of contact for all matters under GDPR. Contact details: iuro Rechtsanwälte GmbH t/a Prighter, Schellinggasse 3, 1010 Vienna, Austria. Use the dedicated inquiry portal at app.prighter.com/portal/jamstream (Prighter Client ID: 16835533678). Inquiries received by Prighter are forwarded to and answered by JamStream within statutory response times. The appointment is reviewed annually and on each material change of processing scale.
If you are in the United Kingdom, you are protected by the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018. Your rights are equivalent to those under GDPR (Section 13 above). UK-specific points:
Israeli users are protected by the Protection of Privacy Law, 5741-1981 ("PPL") as amended by Amendment No. 13 (effective August 2025), the Protection of Privacy Regulations (Data Security), 5777-2017, and Privacy Protection Authority guidance. Your rights:
Database registration. JamStream maintains a database of users and is registered as required under the PPL where threshold criteria are met. Database registration details available on request.
Privacy Protection Officer. JamStream's Privacy Protection Officer per the PPL Amendment 13 is reachable at privacy@jamstream.live. Officer functions: monitoring compliance with the PPL and Regulations; advising the data controller; serving as the contact point for the PPA and for data subjects exercising rights.
Cross-border transfers. Transfers from Israel to non-EU/EEA countries are made under PPL Regulations (Transfer of Data Abroad), 5761-2001, relying on appropriate safeguards (SCCs, processor contractual obligations, or transfers to adequate countries).
Israeli Consumer Protection Law 5741-1981 — privacy interface. Where data processing intersects with consumer protection (e.g., spending limits, dark-pattern prohibitions), JamStream observes the parallel obligations under that law.
Brazilian users are protected by the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD, Law 13,709/2018). You have the right to: confirm whether we process your data; access your data; correct incomplete or inaccurate data; anonymize, block, or delete unnecessary data; request data portability; be informed of third parties with whom we share data; withdraw consent; and lodge complaints with the ANPD. Contact privacy@jamstream.live to exercise rights.
Where JamStream processes personal data on the legal basis of legitimate interests under GDPR Article 6(1)(f), JamStream has conducted Legitimate Interests Assessments (LIAs) for: (a) platform safety and fraud prevention; (b) aggregate analytics for service improvement; (c) security monitoring (server logs, infrastructure); (d) legal defense (moderation records, legal claims). LIA summaries are available on request at privacy@jamstream.live. Users may object to legitimate-interest processing under GDPR Article 21 by contacting privacy@jamstream.live — each objection will be assessed individually.
JamStream does not employ design features specifically intended to maximize engagement through psychological manipulation or to create compulsive usage. We do not: build psychological profiles for the purpose of increasing compulsive use; use variable reward mechanisms to exploit psychological vulnerabilities for retention; or employ dark patterns to override users' rational agency. Usage data we collect (see Section 2.2) is used to improve Service performance and features, not to engineer addictive behavioral patterns. If you are concerned about your usage of the Service, you may restrict or delete your Account at any time by contacting support@jamstream.live.
JamStream uses browser localStorage and session technologies. We do not use third-party advertising cookies, cross-site tracking cookies, or cookies for behavioral advertising. We do not sell cookie data. The following table describes every tracking technology we use:
| Type | Technology | Purpose | Can You Opt Out? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential / Functional | Firebase Auth (localStorage, IndexedDB) | Authentication tokens, session management, login state. Without this the Service cannot function. | No — required for Service |
| Functional | Browser localStorage (key prefix: kj_) | Remembering UI preferences (audio mode, piano dock state, microphone device selection). No personal data transmitted to servers. | Partial — clearing browser data removes these |
| Functional | Browser localStorage (key: kj_cookie_consent) | Storing your cookie consent choice so we do not show the banner on every visit. | Yes — clearing localStorage resets this |
| Analytics / Error Tracking (Consent-Based) | Sentry (EU region, ingest.de.sentry.io) | Sentry is enabled only with your consent. If you select "Essential only" in Cookie Preferences, Sentry is disabled entirely and no error data is sent. When enabled, error reports include your user ID and browser details for debugging.

In compliance with the GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, Israeli Protection of Privacy Law, and equivalent laws, JamStream provides a clear, prominent consent mechanism for non-essential cookies. Our implementation ensures: (a) accepting and rejecting non-essential cookies is equally easy and prominent — we do not use dark patterns; (b) consent is freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous before any non-essential tracking occurs; (c) essential technologies (required for authentication and Service functionality) cannot be disabled without preventing Service use — we disclose this clearly; (d) you may change or withdraw your consent at any time without detriment.
How to manage your cookie preferences: You may update your choices at any time by clicking the "🍪 Cookie Preferences" link in the footer of any page, or by clearing your browser's localStorage data. You may also contact privacy@jamstream.live. Note that withdrawing consent for essential cookies will prevent you from using the Service, as authentication requires them.
JamStream may send you promotional communications about new features, events, updates, or offers only with your prior consent (where required by applicable law). You may opt out of marketing emails at any time by: clicking the "unsubscribe" link in any email; or emailing privacy@jamstream.live. Opting out of marketing does not affect transactional communications essential to your Account (security alerts, billing confirmations, etc.).
The Service may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites, applications, or services. This Policy does not apply to those third parties. We are not responsible for third parties' privacy practices, content, or security. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services before providing personal information to them.
We may update this Policy at any time to reflect changes in law, technology, or our data practices. We will notify you of material changes by: (a) posting the updated Policy with a revised "Last Updated" date; (b) displaying a prominent notice in the Service; and (c) where required by law, seeking your affirmative consent before the change takes effect. Your continued use of the Service after changes are effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy. If you do not accept the updated Policy, you must stop using the Service and may close your Account.
This Section consolidates additional disclosures introduced in v4.2 to align this Policy with the Terms of Service v4.2 and to address evolving global privacy and data-protection law.
Although JamStream's design principle is to not retain live-audio content as a routine matter (see Privacy Policy §2.4 and Terms §11.8), JamStream may record, retain, or transcribe live-audio content from a Room, Battle, or Concert in the limited circumstances described in Terms §25.2 — namely, in response to user reports of serious misconduct, valid legal process, automated high-confidence flags for prohibited material, or imminent harm. Lawful basis: legal obligation under 18 U.S.C. § 2258A, EU Digital Services Act Art. 18, UK Online Safety Act 2023, and analogous statutes; legitimate interests in safety and Terms enforcement; vital interests in life-safety emergencies. Retention: only as long as necessary for the investigation, plus statutory minimum periods where applicable. Recipients: JamStream's safety and legal teams; appropriate processors under data-processing agreements; law enforcement and regulators only pursuant to valid legal process. Your rights: as described in §9 of this Policy, subject to limitations applicable to data processed for legal-obligation and vital-interest purposes.
JamStream does not knowingly process voice data as a biometric identifier and applies the safeguards described in §2.4a regardless of jurisdiction. We provide notice of compliance posture under: Texas CUBI; Washington Biometric Privacy Act; New York SHIELD Act biometric provisions; the biometric/sensitive-data provisions of the Colorado Privacy Act, Connecticut Data Privacy Act, Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act, Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act, Iowa Consumer Data Protection Act, Maryland Online Data Privacy Act, Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act, Montana Consumer Data Privacy Act, New Hampshire Privacy Act, New Jersey Data Privacy Act, Oregon Consumer Privacy Act, Tennessee Information Protection Act, Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, Utah Consumer Privacy Act, and Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, and any subsequently enacted state laws of similar character; UK Data Protection Act 2018 special-category data; Israeli Protection of Privacy Law as amended; Brazilian LGPD Art. 11; South Korean PIPA biometric data; Indian DPDP Act sensitive personal data. JamStream's voice processing is limited to real-time peer-to-peer transmission, audio-mixer routing, opt-in safety-flag detection, and the limited safety-recording described in §23.1.
For EU/EEA users, the following lawful bases apply (consistent with §4 of this Policy and Terms §25.14): (a) Performance of contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) — Account creation, Service delivery, payment processing, payout fulfillment, customer support; (b) Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) — CSAM hash-scanning, AML/sanctions screening, tax record retention, response to legal process; (c) Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) — fraud prevention, account security, abuse moderation, ban-evasion detection, analytics, product improvement; (d) Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) — non-essential cookies, marketing communications, optional features (cinema-mode recording), voluntary biometric/voice opt-in; (e) Vital interests (Art. 6(1)(d)) — emergency intervention; (f) Public interest (Art. 6(1)(e)) — limited cooperation with regulators on CSAM/terrorism/child-safety. Special-category data under Art. 9 is processed only with explicit consent (Art. 9(2)(a)) or under another applicable Art. 9 condition (such as Art. 9(2)(g) substantial public interest for CSAM detection).
JamStream's data is held under the laws of the State of Israel. Foreign legal process is generally received and processed through the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) framework or other recognized international cooperation channel. JamStream may, at its sole discretion, voluntarily comply with foreign legal process where the request meets Israeli legal standards, does not violate Israeli or applicable EU/UK data-protection law, and specifically identifies the data sought. Users acknowledge that JamStream's data may be subject to Israeli legal process at any time. JamStream commits to publishing aggregate transparency reporting on legal-process volume on a periodic basis, subject to law enforcement non-disclosure obligations.
JamStream does not use User Content (including voice, music performances, photos, chat messages, or other identifiable User Content) to train artificial intelligence or machine-learning models for voice synthesis, music generation, or other generative purposes, except: (a) for the limited safety-classifier purposes described in §8a (e.g., detecting CSAM, abusive content, or prohibited speech), where automated systems are necessary to comply with safety obligations; (b) for aggregated, de-identified product-improvement analytics that cannot be reasonably re-identified; and (c) where a user has affirmatively opted in to a specific feature that uses User Content for AI/ML purposes (no such feature exists at the v4.2 Effective Date). JamStream does not sell or license User Content for third-party AI/ML training. JamStream's third-party processors are contractually required to apply equivalent restrictions.
Where a user pursues a legal claim against JamStream involving sensitive subject matter (e.g., sexual harassment, sexual abuse, child safety, intimate-imagery exposure, or stalking), JamStream's general policy is to not oppose a good-faith motion to proceed pseudonymously, except where JamStream's defense is materially impaired or governing law does not permit such proceedings (see Terms §25.10). This Section does not constitute a substantive admission and does not affect any other procedural right.
For users resident in the State of Israel, the Protection of Privacy Law, 5741-1981, as amended (including the recent biometric and database-registration amendments), and any subsequently enacted Israeli mandatory privacy or data-protection statute, prevail over any conflicting provision of this Policy to the extent the statute provides a non-waivable right. Where a provision of this Policy is held by an Israeli authority to be inconsistent with mandatory Israeli law, the provision shall be construed and applied to the maximum extent consistent with Israeli law, or, if not so possible, severed.
If you believe your privacy rights have been violated by JamStream, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority, including but not limited to: Israel — the Israeli Privacy Protection Authority (Reshut Hahaganah Al Hapratiyut, גנת המידע); EU/EEA — your local Data Protection Authority; UK — the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO); California — the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) or Attorney General; Brazil — Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados (ANPD); Other jurisdictions — your local supervisory authority. We encourage you to contact us first at privacy@jamstream.live so we may attempt to resolve your concern directly.
JamStream does not represent that this Policy is exhaustive or that any particular legal result will be achieved by this Policy in any particular jurisdiction. JamStream's policy is to draft this Policy in good faith, in plain language to the extent practicable, and to update it regularly as law evolves. Users should consult their own legal counsel for advice specific to their circumstances.
For all privacy questions, data access requests, deletion requests, or complaints:
We will acknowledge receipt within 5 business days and provide a substantive response within 30 days (or within applicable legal deadlines). If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in your jurisdiction.
