This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from Let’s Be Blount or use the Let’s Be Blount mobile app.
Personal Information We Collect
When you visit the site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the site, and information about how you interact with the site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”
We collect Device Information using the following technologies:
Additionally, when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers, email address, and phone number). We refer to this information as “Order Information.”
When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.
How Do We Use Your Personal Information?
We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:
We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).
Sharing Your Personal Information
We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information, as described above. For example, we use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the site — you can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here: Google Privacy & Terms. We also use Visual Visitor, Meta, TikTok, and Active Campaign for our marketing and advertising campaigns.

Let’s Be Blount, LLC operates the Let’s Be Blount mobile app and its connected website account services. You can read public news, browse events and deals, and listen to the station without creating an account. Signing in enables account features such as syncing favorites and using your shared notification inbox.
Accounts and saved content. When you register or sign in through our website, we process your account identifier, name, email address and authentication information to provide and protect your account. The app stores authentication tokens in protected device storage. We process your saved stories, events, deals and jobs, notification preferences, and notification read status to synchronize these features between the website and app. Searches are sent to our website to return matching content. Our hosting and security systems may record requests, IP addresses and technical information to operate and protect these services.
Business listings and submitted content. If you manage a verified business in the app, we process the listing details, contact information, job postings, events, deals and images that you choose to submit. These changes are linked to your account and synchronized with the website. Published content and its images are visible to other users on the app and website. Photo uploads are optional and use the images you select through your device’s photo picker; the app does not need access to your entire photo library. An image uploaded before you cancel an edit may remain in the website media library until removed. You can contact hello@letsbeblount.com about correcting or deleting submitted content.
Optional notifications. If you enable phone alerts, we register a device messaging token and device platform with your account. We use Google Firebase Cloud Messaging to deliver notifications; iPhone and iPad delivery also uses Apple Push Notification service. The messaging providers process the device identifiers, routing information and message content needed to deliver these alerts. Alerts may include community announcements, news, events, offers and reminders about saved events. You can change notification preferences in the app and disable alerts in your device settings. The website and app also share an account notification inbox. Signing out requests removal of the app’s notification registration; an offline request takes effect when it reaches our server.
Live radio and widgets. Radio streaming and current-track information are provided through Radio.co. Requests to the streaming provider include network and device information such as your IP address; the provider may use this to deliver the stream, measure listening, infer an approximate location, and support licensing and security. The app does not request your precise GPS location. Album artwork may be downloaded from the artwork providers identified in the station’s metadata. Home-screen widgets fetch public track information and your selected news or event feed, including when radio playback is paused. The operating system controls background refresh timing.
Device storage and choices. The app caches public content, artwork and preferences on your device. Favorites saved while signed out are stored locally. The native app does not include Firebase Analytics or an advertising-tracking SDK. Website pages opened from the app may use the website technologies described elsewhere in this policy.
Retention and deletion. We retain account information and synced favorites while needed to provide your account, unless you request deletion. Under our notification system’s current settings, device registrations expire after 30 days without an authenticated renewal, and general inbox messages expire after up to 90 days; event messages expire when the event starts. Server cleanup removes expired records during scheduled maintenance. You can request deletion of your account and associated data without signing in at Delete account and data. That page explains identity verification, the 10-business-day processing period after verification, retained order/security/deletion-request records and their three-year retention, and the 30-day backup expiration period. Contact hello@letsbeblount.com for privacy questions or requests.

Additionally, if you are a European resident we note that we are processing your information in order to fulfill contracts we might have with you (for example, if you make an order through the site), or otherwise to pursue our legitimate business interests listed above. Please note that your information will be transferred outside of Europe, including to Canada and the United States.
Data Retention
When you place an order through the site, we will maintain your Order Information for our records unless and until you ask us to delete this information.
