Drop Station Inc. d/b/a Station (“Drop Station,” “we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. Drop Station is a community and membership platform for podcasts (podcasts), enabling podcast fans (users) to create engaging discussions, chat, events, rewards, contests and memberships all in one place under their own brand. We have prepared this Privacy Policy to describe to you our practices regarding the Personal Data (as defined below) we collect, use, and share in connection with the Drop Station website, mobile app and other software provided on or in connection with our services, as described in our Terms of Service (collectively, the “Service”).
Drop Station Inc. d/b/a Station (“Drop Station,” “we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy.
This Privacy Policy applies to all users of the Services, including Creators, Members, and Brands. In addition, your use of the Services may also be subject to supplemental privacy agreements, including the Station Creator Data Processing Agreement (“Creator DPA”) and the Station Brand Data Processing Agreement (“Brand DPA”). These agreements govern how data is processed when you use Station’s monetization and sponsorship features.
With Station, creators can host discussions, chats, events, run rewards programs and contests, sell memberships and digital products, earn sponsorship revenue, participate in brand representative campaigns, and use AI-assisted tools to distribute content and analytics — all under their own brand.
If you are a Creator, Station acts as the Data Controller for platform activities, while you process Member Data under the Creator DPA. If you are a Brand, Station acts as the Data Processor for campaign data under the Brand DPA, and you are responsible for your own privacy obligations.
Where applicable, the Station Creator Sponsorship Agreement and Station Representative Agreement may also govern data sharing with sponsors and advertisers. Station only shares personal data with brands or sponsors in connection with sponsorships, advertising campaigns, or brand representative deals, and not for general memberships or digital products.

At any time, you may leave a “Station” by clicking ‘Joined’ or going to your notification settings and ‘toggling off’ the podcast you have “joined”.

Within each “Station”, if you have posted or upvoted a post, you may delete this post and remove your upvote, to delete this data from the public and community members.
For example, if you make a post in the home feed, and you leave the associated “Station” or community, your post will still show, but you will no longer be subscribed to information from that creator.

In some instances, this may mean that we are able to retain data even if you withdraw your consent or you delete your account.
Where we require Personal Information to comply with legal or contractual obligations, then provision of such information is mandatory: if such information is not provided, then we will not be able to manage our contractual relationship, or to meet obligations placed on us.
