PULSE 108.5 · INFORMATION
Privacy Policy
Updated November 2, 2026
Who operates Pulse
Pulse 108.5 is operated by Pulse 108.5 LLC in the United States. This notice covers our Pulse websites and beta listening apps. Contact thepulse108.5@gmail.com for privacy, correction or deletion requests.
Listening without an account
You can browse stations and listen without registering. Our hosting, stream, artwork and studio services receive connection information such as your IP address, browser or device information and requested resources to deliver audio, protect the service and investigate errors. Operational records and restricted recovery copies can outlast a listening session.
Information you choose to provide
Registration currently asks for a name, email, password, telephone/country information and gender. Passwords are hashed. A profile image is optional. Signed-in features can store saved stations, follows, listening history, comments and message-read state. When you rate or save a song, Pulse stores your account, station, song title and artist, and your choice. Authorized staff of that station can see ratings and the listener name to understand preferences. Saved-song lists remain private to your account. A comment you submit for public display may show your chosen name and image. You can listen without providing these account details.
Pulse Voice
Your microphone starts only when you choose Record. Audio stays on your device until you choose Send. A submission includes the recording, selected station, optional name, consent record and technical information such as duration and file size. Signed-in messages may be linked to your account. Authorized members of that station team can listen and download, including MP3 and bulk exports. The active inbox expires messages after 30 days, including archived messages; failed file cleanup is retried. Team downloads and restricted backups are separate copies and are not erased by inbox expiry.
Device storage and permissions
Pulse uses local storage for choices such as theme, volume, saved presets, listening layout, resume intent, sleep-timer state and a local sponsor-clip frequency limit. Signed-in sessions use protected session or token storage. On this homepage, a first-party cookie remembers app invitations for 24 hours. It contains only an expiry time, stays on this hostname, and is not used for analytics or advertising profiling. Clearing this site’s cookies resets that invitation preference. You control microphone, optional location and other device permissions in your browser or operating system. Location-based station discovery is optional. A first-use tour offers optional permissions; skipping an introduction or declining access does not prevent listening. Privacy & permissions in Your Pulse lets you review these choices later. Clearing local storage resets local choices; it does not delete a server account.
Providers, stations and external links
Service infrastructure and authorized station teams process the information needed to operate Pulse. Our main hosting is in France; a US relay retrieves the news feed, and owner-controlled recovery copies are also held separately. Opening a station, song-request, social or livestream link can connect you to another provider with its own privacy practices. A stream may include advertising selected by its provider. Prepared social-login, advertising and push SDKs are not the same as active services: those integrations remain disabled in the current Pulse beta.
Retention and deletion
We retain active account information while needed for your account and service operation. Use Delete account while signed in, or email us for help. Deletion removes the active profile and associated supported account data; linked voice messages are anonymized and expired, with file deletion retried where necessary. Recovery backups, operational records and staff-downloaded files can remain separately until their retention or review cycle completes. Automated backups retain seven successful daily generations; separately retained release and migration copies are not covered by that count. We do not promise immediate removal from every backup or a third-party service.
Your choices
You can listen without an account, change local preferences, revoke permissions, sign out, delete an account or contact us about information associated with you. We may need enough information to verify an account-related request. Do not email your password or verification codes. Our Privacy Choices page explains local controls and advertising resources. Applicable privacy rights depend on your location.
Children and updates
Do not send personal information about a child in a profile, public comment or voice message. Contact us if you believe a child has submitted personal information so we can investigate. We update this notice when our practices change and show its revision date here. New account, advertising or identity integrations need corresponding disclosures before they are activated.
