This policy explains what data Lion With A Mic collects when you use our website, chat, community, theatre, bookings, and any mobile app packaged from them — how we use it, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and the rights you have over it.

Lion With A Mic ("we", "us", "our") operates the website at lionwithamic.com and any mobile applications packaged from it. Lion With A Mic is built and hosted by Gen On Demand LLC, which acts as our data processor for hosting, database, and packaging services.

No perfect security No online service can guarantee absolute security. If we ever suffer a security incident affecting your data, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required by law (typically within 72 hours for EU / UK residents under GDPR).
Our servers are located in the European Union and the United States. If you access from another region, your data will be transferred to and processed in those locations. Where the transfer is from EEA / UK / Switzerland to a country without an adequacy decision, we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or the UK International Data Transfer Addendum.
Request a copy of the transfer safeguards at apps@genondemand.com.
US-state residents with comprehensive privacy laws have the right to:
How to exercise: email apps@genondemand.com from the email on your account, or use the in-app "Delete my account" flow (Settings → Privacy). We respond within 45 days (extendable once by 45 days).

Lion With A Mic is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under those ages. If we learn we have, we delete it promptly.
Parents / guardians who believe we have collected data from a child, contact apps@genondemand.com.
We respect the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal in jurisdictions where it is legally recognized (California, Colorado, Connecticut) and treat it as an opt-out of sale + sharing — though we do neither anyway.
Because there is no industry consensus on Do Not Track (DNT), we do not currently respond to DNT signals differently.
No sale We do not sell your personal information for money. We do not "share" it for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined under California law. We do not rent, trade, or barter personal information.
Lion With A Mic does not show third-party advertisements or use tracking pixels or advertising SDKs from Meta, Google Ads, TikTok, or similar networks. Any sponsored content displayed will be clearly labeled.
We use only first-party analytics (usage counts + performance metrics stored in our own database) and the built-in aggregate analytics from Google Play Console + Apple App Store Connect. We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Mixpanel, or similar third-party services.
If you enable notifications, we may send:
Turn off notifications from your device Settings or in-app Settings → Notifications. Transactional notifications required to deliver a service you requested will still be sent.
Content you post in public lobbies, threads, or profile pages is visible to other Lion With A Mic users. Do not post anything you wouldn't want public. You are responsible for the content you upload; see our Terms of Service for detail.
Delete your own content at any time. Deleted content is removed from public view immediately and purged from backups within 30 days, except where retention is legally required.
