1. Our Cookie Policy

Our use of Cookies: Stitcher.com uses technology that is commonly known as "cookies." A cookie is a file written to your hard drive when you visit any Stitcher website. Some cookies remain on your drive and provides us or a third party with information assigned to an identifier for you. Cookies have different functions, including those that are necessary for the site to work; those that facilitate the functionality of the site, such as remembering what you listened to on a previous visit, give us information on the performance of the site, e.g., the time it takes to load, and other information we use to improve our product and your experience; and those used to measure, deliver and allow reporting for advertisements that we place for our Service or that we offer to third party advertisers using our Service. We use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie expires when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. You may indicate your preference to reject some cookies through a banner on the website. Indicating you “reject” cookies in the banner will block most but not all cookies; for example, you cannot block cookies necessary for the site to deliver service. In addition, some cookies in forms, encoded in the pages of the website or embedded in third party advertising creative cannot be seen by the banner’s blocking mechanism and will not be blocked.

You may be able to manage cookies on your device by following the directions provided in your browser's settings. Most browsers allow you to:

If you choose to delete cookies, you should be aware that any preferences for the website on that device will be lost.

We use cookies to monitor site performance, to remember you when you return to the site, to personalize your site experience based on your interests or what you listened to before. We use the identifier in a cookie to help us manage and report on your interaction with the Stitcher Service. Through cookies, we are able to collect information that we use to improve the Service, keep count of return visits to our website or our advertisers' or other third parties’ websites, collect and report on aggregate statistical information, authenticate your login credentials, or manage multiple instances of the Service in a single browser. We may also collect other data such as the page or site that referred you to the Stitcher Service, the date and time you visited the Service, and the IP address from which the website is accessed. If you do not accept these first-party cookies, you may still use the Service, but your experience with the Service will be limited.

Advertisers' and other third parties' use of cookies: Advertisers and other third-party advertising entities that deliver ads to you through the Service’s online applications may place or recognize a unique cookie on your hard drive. Advertising entities may use third-party cookies in order to count your exposure to or gauge your interaction with an ad. They may also use third-party cookies to provide you with interest-based advertising. Third-party cookies are not covered by this Policy. We do not have access to or control over cookies placed by advertisers and other third parties.

Beacons, tags or other tracking pixels: Stitcher, its service providers, and in some instances, advertising companies may also employ other technologies, known as "beacons", “tag” or "tracking pixels" (each, a "Beacon"). A Beacon is a one-pixel-by-one-pixel clear image that is embedded in HTML content, and is about the size of a period at the end of a sentence. The Beacon transmits information to a server, such as a numeric count, unique identifier, or IP address. Stitcher and third parties that we contract with use Beacons to help us better manage content on the Stitcher Service and in our communications with you, for example, to let us know which emails recipients have opened, or to count the number of unique visitors to a particular webpage. You cannot turn off beacons in emails.

HTML5 and Flash Local Storage: Stitcher or its advertising and technology providers may, in some instances, use HTML5 and/or Flash Local Storage (collectively, "Local Storage") to enhance your listening and advertising experiences on the Service. Each browser implements HTML5 Local Storage differently and provides tools for managing content stored within local storage. You can review your browser's privacy settings to manage the content stored within HTML5 Local Storage. Similarly, for more information on how to manage content stored with Local Storage, please review this document provided by Adobe.

2. Information We Receive from or Collect about You

Payment Information: When you choose to subscribe to the Stitcher Premium Service, purchase the Stitcher Premium Service as a gift, or purchase merchandise on Podswag, you provide payment method information and certain other information expressly for authentication.

Technical Information: As an internet-enabled service, Stitcher may collect certain technical information through the use of log files and servers. Web and application servers create log files automatically as part of their setup and configuration.

If you access the Service from a mobile phone, tablet, or other electronic device, we may collect and store information such as device type, operating system version and type, unique identifiers (such as mobile advertising ID), carrier, and other related information for that device ("Device Information").

Location Information: We will not collect your device-based location information unless you have permitted the Stitcher app to access location services on your device. You can control this access in your device’s system settings. We may approximate the region from which you are accessing the Service or our sites or other broad location from the IP address assigned to your device when you access the Service or site.

Research: If you choose to participate in surveys or other research, we will collect personal information you choose to provide us and use it only for the purposes that are stated at the time the information is collected.

Friends and Family: Certain features of the Stitcher Service, such as sharing content with a friend, may require you to provide personal information about the person with whom you want us to interact on your behalf. By providing another person's personal information to us, you confirm that you have the right to provide such information to us. If you choose to provide this information, we will store and use the information for purposes of providing the feature. For example, if you choose to purchase a Stitcher Premium subscription for a friend, we may ask for your friend's name and email address to provide the gift. We will only use this information for the specific reason for which it was provided or for security purposes, such as to prevent fraud. If you believe that one of your contacts has provided us with your personal information and you would like to request that it be removed from our database, please contact us at [email protected].

Legal and Security: Finally, we may collect personal information pursuant to a legal, security or contractual requirement or to enforce our legal rights and obligations.

From Third Parties: We may receive or collect information about you from third parties, and combine and store it on our servers with other information we may have already received or collected from you. These third parties include:

Related Companies: We may also receive information about you from our parent company, Sirius XM, and its affiliates, Pandora Media, LLC, AdsWizz Inc., Audio Ventures, Inc. d/b/a Simplecast, and their subsidiaries. For more information about the Sirius XM family of companies, please see https://www.siriusxm.com/corporate.

3. How We Use Information We Receive or Collect

Stitcher may use the personal information we collect or receive about you for any of the following purposes:

Push Notifications: We may use your device and account information to send you push notifications from time to time. If you do not wish to receive these types of communications, they may be turned off at the device level in your app settings.

Email Address: We use your email address to communicate with you about your account, your Stitcher Premium subscription (if applicable) and the Stitcher Service, to provide you with technical support, and to send you notices or promotional offers. We may also use your email address in determining ads to serve you that are more relevant to your interests. We also work with data vendors and providers and advertising platforms to help increase the relevance of ads we provide to our listeners by providing a de-identified value derived from information we have received, such as your email address, to these entities and platforms. We may share your email address with our affiliated companies to enhance their service to you and to offer products or services that we believe to be of interest to you. We do not sell or give your email address to non-affiliated companies for their own marketing purposes without your permission.

Podswag: Stitcher uses third party service providers to power Podswag.com, to support payment processing for Podswag transactions, and to fulfill orders. Personal information that is collected in a Podswag.com transaction is disclosed to and used by these service providers solely for the business purpose of conducting and executing on your transaction.

4. How We Share Information with Others

Affiliate Companies: We share personal information, including device information, we collect with our parent corporation, Sirius XM and its subsidiaries and affiliates to offer, provide, and improve services and products offered both individually and jointly with other Sirius XM companies.

Third Parties and Service Providers: In addition, Stitcher may share your personal information for any of the uses listed in this policy, including for the following purposes:

Jointly Offered Services: If you elect a feature or service provided jointly by Stitcher and an affiliated company or a third party, we may share certain information about you with that affiliated company or the third party for account authentication and management, and to enable the Service or your account in conjunction with their platforms. For example, when you share information through integrated social networking platforms, such as Facebook, you agree to allow the Stitcher Service to communicate with the other service in order to set up your account or make those social features available for your use. Collection, use and disclosure of data by companies affiliated with Sirius XM or by other third parties is covered by the respective privacy policy for each of those companies. You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for your use of services originating or integrated with companies other than Stitcher, and that it is your responsibility to review their terms of use and privacy policies and the methods for managing privacy settings when using their services.

Legal and Security Purposes: We may share your information in order to (i) protect or defend the legal rights or property of Stitcher, or the legal rights of third parties, employees, agents, and contractors (including enforcement of our agreements); (ii) protect the safety and security of Stitcher users or members of the public including acting in urgent circumstances; (iii) protect against fraud or to conduct risk management; or (iv) comply with the law, legal process, or legal and government requests.

Device Information: Stitcher may share information we gather from devices you use to access the Service with its affiliates or with third-party vendors, service providers, manufacturers or distributors, or advertising companies for the following business and commercial purposes:

Deidentified, Aggregated, or Anonymized Information: Stitcher may share information that has been aggregated or anonymized and that can no longer be reasonably associated with you or your individual device. Such information may include such categories as demographic groups and their use of the Stitcher Service, location by region or country or type of operating system that access the service, or statistical information about interactions with the Stitcher Service. Such information is not considered personal information and is not addressed under this Policy. We may also de-identify information through the assignment of a pseudonym or other process; such pseudonymized information cannot be associated with you without being combined with additional information. We use and share de-identified information for business and commercial purposes for a variety of reasons, such as to analyze usage, improve the Stitcher Service and your listener experience, or to improve the serving and performance of advertisements and advertising campaigns. When de-identified information is stored, processed or shared in such a way that it shall not be combined with additional information to become re-identified, it is not personal information. Otherwise, we treat de-identified information as personal information, and this Policy governs accordingly our processing of such information.

Information You Disclose in a Public Profile or in Public Forums: You should be aware that any information you provide or post in any publicly accessible location such as a page, blog, or social media platform may be read, collected, and used by others who access it. Stitcher has no responsibility for any personal information you display in a public forum.

Successor in Interest: We may share your personal information with a successor in interest to Stitcher in the event of a corporate reorganization, merger or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

5. Third Party Advertising, Measurement, and Analytics and Your Choices

Opting Out of Interest-based Advertising: In our effort to provide you with advertisements that may interest you, Stitcher, its affiliates and third-party advertising entities may use data in the manner disclosed in this Privacy Policy to provide you with relevant ads. To learn about how the online advertising industry uses information it collects to provide you with relevant ads, and to control whether you want to receive those relevant ads from third-party advertisers, please review the information at: Understanding Online Advertising (About Our Ads). We do not control the privacy practices of third-party advertising companies.

If you are using an iOS-based device and do not want to receive tailored in-application advertisements that relate to your interests, you may be able to limit these advertisements by enabling "Limit Ad Tracking" on your iOS Device following these instructions from Apple. If you are using an Android-based device and you do not wish to receive tailored in-application advertisements, you can visit Google's Ads Settings page from a browser on your Android-based device and make your choices there.

Please note that your opt-out choices are browser and device specific; if you disable your cookies, upgrade your browser after opting out or if you use multiple different Devices, please opt-out on each device and each browser separately. Also, opting out through these mechanisms does not opt you out of being served advertising and you will continue to receive generic ads while online.

Some countries’ and certain U.S. states’ laws provide consumers with the right to limit or opt-out of the use of personal information for behavioral advertising across applications and across time. Even when you opt-out if applicable in your jurisdiction, your personal information may still be used to confirm ad delivery, measure campaign performance, cap the frequency with which the same ad is shown to you, or perform other measurement and reporting functions to the extent allowed by law.

6. Do Not Track Signal and Global Privacy Control

Your website browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to websites and online services that you visit. When you choose to turn on the “Do Not Track” setting in your browser, your browser will send a signal to websites, analytics providers, advertisement networks, plug-in providers, and other web service providers you encounter while browsing to stop tracking your activity. To find out more about and set up “Do Not Track,” please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com. Like many other websites and online services, Stitcher.com does not currently alter its practices when we receive Do Not Track signals.

Global Privacy Control: Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) is a technical specification in the settings of certain browsers that you can use to automatically inform websites of your privacy preferences with regard to third party online tracking. To find out more about and set up GPC, please visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org/#about.

7. Managing Your Information

We use the email address you provide to us to manage your account and for other purposes stated in this Policy. It is your responsibility to maintain the email address and keep it up to date. You have the option to opt-out of receiving promotional or marketing emails by following the unsubscribe link contained in the promotional, marketing, or other similar emails you receive. We will send you transaction confirmation emails and other Service-related announcements when it is necessary to do so. Generally, you may not opt-out of these communications, which are not promotional in nature. If you do not wish to receive them, you have the option to deactivate your account.

For instruction on how to change your information on or deactivate your account, please visit the Stitcher FAQs.

8. Security and Content from Other Websites

Protection of Data: We have implemented physical, technical and administrative security measures designed to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information we collect or receive from you. However, despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.

Data Integrity: We use personal information in ways that are relevant and compatible with the purpose for which the information was collected or provided to us as disclosed in this Policy. We use technical and organizational measures to protect personal information we collect, process, and store from corruption or use in a manner inconsistent with our policies or the purpose for which we received it.

Links to Other Websites: The Stitcher Service and certain advertisements on the Service include links to other websites whose privacy practices may differ from those of Stitcher. If you submit personal information to any of those websites, the privacy statements and practices of those websites govern their use of your information. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy statement of any website you visit.

Use of Framing Techniques: Some of our third-party vendors may utilize framing techniques to serve content to and from webpages accessible through the Stitcher Service while preserving the look and feel of our website. If a third party utilizes framing techniques, you are providing your personal information to this third party and not to Stitcher.

9. Our Policies Concerning Children

Stitcher does not seek nor knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13 years of age. In the event we obtain actual knowledge that we have collected information from children under the age of 13, we will take measures to remove such information from our servers.

10. Retention

We retain your personal information as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy, considering the time period reasonably necessary to: provide the Service to you; exercise the choices and rights you have requested; comply with our contractual obligations; resolve disputes and enforce our legal rights and Terms of Use; and to comply with legal and regulatory requirements.

11. Changes to our Privacy Policy

We evaluate this Policy in light of new technologies, business practices, changes in law, and our listeners' needs, and may make changes to the Policy accordingly. To the extent allowed by applicable law, Stitcher reserves the right to change this Policy at any time. Stitcher will notify you of material changes by posting the changed or modified Privacy Policy on the Stitcher Service and at Stitcher.com and will otherwise notify you as required by applicable law. We may also provide notice to you in other ways, such as through contact information you have provided. Any changes will be effective immediately upon the posting of the revised Policy unless otherwise specified. Your continued use of the any of the Stitcher Service, applications or websites after the effective date of the revised Policy will constitute your consent to those changes to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law. Stitcher will provide notice and obtain your consent (opt-in or opt-out) if required. However, you may need to consent to the revised Policy in order to maintain continued access and use to the Service or the applications.

12. Additional Privacy Rights Under U.S. State Laws

Certain countries and U.S. states have implemented privacy laws specific to the jurisdiction. If you are a resident of such country or state, you may have additional privacy rights. Please see the following additional provisions, as required under the consumer privacy law of your jurisdiction.

California Residents: Your rights under Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.83 (Shine the Light law): California residents may request certain information about categories of personal information shared by Stitcher with unaffiliated third parties for those parties’ own marketing purposes during the previous calendar year and the names of such parties. We share personal information with affiliated companies, Pandora Media, LLC, Sirius XM Radio Inc. and their subsidiaries and affiliates, who may use that information for any of the uses that Stitcher may use it. We do not share your personal information (as defined under this section) with third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless you specifically opt-in, or are offered the opportunity to opt-out at the time you provide personal information or request a service and elect not to opt-out.

Your privacy rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA): CCPA provides for certain disclosures about your rights and the personal information we collect, sell, and disclose for business or commercial purposes. California residents have the right to request: (1) that we disclose to you what Personal Information we collect, use, disclose, share and sell, including the right to request that we provide to you the categories and specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you (“Right to Know”); (2) that we delete the Personal Information we collect about you, (“Right to Delete”); and (3) to opt-out from the sale of their Personal Information (“Right to Opt-Out of Sale”), all subject to the meanings and exceptions set forth in the CCPA.

If you are a California resident and would like to exercise one of your rights under the CCPA, please submit your request by sending an email to [email protected]. To exercise your Right to Opt-Out of Sale, you may also submit your request online here. In your request, you must provide enough information to allow us to verify that you are the person about whom we collected personal information, or their authorized representative. You must also describe your request with enough detail so that we can understand, evaluate, and respond to it. We can’t respond to your request if we can’t verify your identity. Making such a request does not require you to create an account with us, and we will only use the information you provide in a request to verify your identity and to maintain a record of your request.

Right to Know

California residents have the right to know the categories of information we have collected about you, which are described below, and to request access to the specific pieces of information, which we will deliver to you electronically, in a portable format where feasible. You can submit up to two access requests per 12 month period. In order to protect the privacy of our customers and in accordance with law, if you request access to the specific pieces of Personal Information, we will verify your identify to a reasonably high degree of certainty, which may require a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the consumer whose Personal Information is the subject of the request.

Right to Delete

California residents have the right to request deletion of the Personal Information about you that we have collected from you.

Please note that as part of the verification process, once you submit a request to delete, we may follow up and require you to confirm that you want your information deleted. Please note that we are unable to delete information needed to:

Please note that a request for deletion of personal information does not cancel your Stitcher Premium subscription. We will retain such information as reasonably necessary to provide the service(s), manage contact preferences, and otherwise in accordance with the exceptions noted above. Please visit the Stitcher FAQs for information on cancelling your subscription.

Right to Opt-Out of Sale

California residents have the right to opt-out of the sale of their Personal Information to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising (i.e., targeted advertising), whether or not for monetary or other valuable consideration. We will act upon opt-out requests within fifteen (15) days of receipt.

Stitcher may disclose information to third parties for their own purposes, including to its affiliated companies, Sirius XM Radio Inc. and Pandora Media LLC. Stitcher also engages in online advertising practices (and certain analytics or similar activities). These activities may be considered a “sale” as defined in the CCPA. Stitcher.com uses cookies for purposes further detailed in Our Cookie Policy above. Cookies may be set by service providers or 3rd parties. Only cookies set by 3rd parties may be considered “sales” under the CCPA.

In addition, the Digital Advertising Alliance also offers tools for California consumers to send requests under the CCPA to opt out of the sale of personal information by some or all of the participating companies, which may allow you to further control the use of your data by third parties. For more information, visit https://www.privacyrights.info/.

Right to Nondiscrimination for the Exercise of a Consumer’s Privacy Rights

California consumers have the right to not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising CCPA rights. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.

Notice of Financial Incentive.

We collect personal information from you when you choose to sign up for an ad-supported Stitcher account and in connection with your use of the Stitcher Service. There is no subscription fee associated with your ad-supported Stitcher account. We use and share personal information we collect to sell, deliver, measure and report on advertising, which may include personalized advertising to the extent permitted by law. You may purchase, or receive as a value-added benefit to certain SiriusXM subscriptions, a Stitcher Premium subscription that allows you to receive some content without ads as well as other premium benefits. Maintaining your account and your subscription, if applicable, are completely up to you, and you can cancel your subscription at any time.

To the extent that the price difference for an ad-supported Stitcher account may be considered a financial incentive in order to permit Stitcher to collect and use consumer personal information to sell, deliver, measure and report on ads, the value is reasonably related to the overall value we receive from the personal information participants provide specific to the program minus the costs and expenses we incur in providing the program.

Verification

For your protection, you must provide sufficient information to verify your identity in order for us to fulfill a request to access or delete Personal Information. If you ask us to provide you with specific pieces of personal information, we will verify your identity to a reasonably high level of certainty. We may ask that you provide us with information, beyond your full name and email address in order to verify your identity and fulfill your request. If we are unable to verify that the individual submitting the request is the same individual about whom we have collected information (or someone authorized by that individual to act on their behalf), we will not be able to process the request. If we are unable to verify your identity as the requestor for your deletion request, but locate an account using the same information you submitted, we will process your deletion request as a “Do Not Sell” request on that account.

Authorized Agents

If you are an authorized representative submitting a request on behalf of a California resident, please submit the applicable request pursuant to these instructions. We will follow up to request a signed, written permission signed by the individual who is the subject of the request authorizing you to make the request on their behalf. The written permission must state your full legal name, the full legal name of the individual who is the subject of the request and needs to be clear about the permission granted. Alternatively, you may submit a copy of a power of attorney under Probate Code sections 4000-4465. In either case, please also indicate in your email the nature of your request. We will verify your identity and that of the consumer independently before we fulfill your request. We will ask the consumer to verify their identity directly with us, unless you as authorized agent are acting pursuant to a power of attorney under the California Probate Code. Please keep in mind that if we do not receive adequate proof that you are authorized to act on the consumer’s behalf, we may deny the request.
