Hello Music, LLC Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy is effective as of and was last updated on September 2, 2011.
This privacy policy (this "Privacy Policy") is designed to inform
you about the type of information that Hello Music ("we," "us,"
or "our") may gather or collect from you in connection with your
use of this site (this "Site"). It also explains the conditions
under which we use and disclose that information, and your rights in relation to
that information.
The procedures for modifying or changing this Privacy Policy in the future are discussed
in Section 5 of this document.
We collect both Non-Personally-Identifying Information and Personally-Identifying
Information from you. "Non–Personally–Identifying Information"
is information that, without the aid of additional information, cannot be directly
associated with a specific person or entity. "Personally–Identifying Information,"
by contrast, is information such as a name or email address that, without more,
can be directly associated with a specific person or entity.
A. Gathering Non-Personally-Identifying Information
(i) Web Browsers
Like most site operators, we gather Non-Personally-Identifying Information from
you of the sort that web browsers, depending on their settings, may make available.
That information includes your Internet Protocol ("IP") address,
operating system and browser type, and the locations of the web pages you view right
before arriving at, while navigating and immediately after leaving this Site.
(ii) Web Cookies
A "Web Cookie" is a string of information that a site stores on
your computer, and your browser provides to this Site, each time you submit a query
to this Site. We may use Web Cookies to track the pages that you visit during each
Site session, both to help us improve your experience and to help us understand
how this Site is being used.
IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO HAVE WEB COOKIES PLACED ON YOUR COMPUTER, YOU SHOULD SET YOUR
BROWSER TO REFUSE WEB COOKIES BEFORE ACCESSING THIS SITE, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING
THAT CERTAIN FEATURES OF THIS SITE MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WITHOUT THE AID OF
WEB COOKIES. IF YOU REFUSE WEB COOKIES, YOU ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY RESULTING
LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY.
(iii) Web Beacons
A "Web Beacon" is an object that is embedded in a web page. It
is usually invisible to you but allows site operators to check whether you have
viewed a particular web page or email communication. We may place Web Beacons on
pages of this Site and in emails we send to you.
You may not decline Web Beacons. However, they may be rendered ineffective by declining
all cookies or modifying your browser setting to notify you each time a cookie is
tendered and permit you to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis.
(iv) Third Parties' Use of Web Beacons and Web Cookies
This Site may include third-party advertising, links to other sites, and other content
from third party businesses. The content posted by these parties will be reasonably
identifiable as coming from a third party. These third-party sites, businesses,
and advertisers, or advertising companies working on their behalf, sometimes use
Web Beacons and Web Cookies to measure the effectiveness of their ads, personalize
or optimize advertising content and to track users who link from their respective
sites to this Site, but this third party technology does not permit them to access
your Personal Information.
We do not have access to or control over Web Beacons or Web Cookies that these third
parties may use, and the information practices of these advertisers and third-party
websites or businesses are not covered by this Privacy Policy but are covered by
their respective privacy policies as is described in more detail in Section 5 below.
Some third party advertising companies may provide a mechanism to opt-out of their
technology. For more information about these partners and links to their privacy
policies, please view each third party’s site.
B. Use of Non-Personally-Identifying Information
We analyze Non–Personally–Identifying Information gathered from users of this Site
to help us better understand how this Site is being used. By identifying patterns
and trends in usage, we are able to better design this Site to improve your experiences,
both in terms of content and ease of use. We link information gathered using Non-Personally-Identifying
Information to Personally-Identifying Information.
C. Disclosure of Non-Personally-Identifying Information
From time to time, we may also release the Non–Personally–Identifying Information
gathered from Site users in the aggregate, such as by publishing a report on trends
in the usage of this Site.
As defined above, Personally-Identifying Information is information that can be
directly associated with a specific person or entity. We will only collect Personally-Identifying
Information that you knowingly submit to us. We will not disclose your Personally-Identifying
Information to third parties unless we obtain your permission to do so at the time
we collect it, except as set forth below:
A. Collecting Personally-Identifying Information from Site Users
i. Registration and Other Information Provided to Us
When you register with this Site, you may be asked to disclose Personally–Identifying
Information. You may also choose to submit Personally-Identifying Information to
us when you send us an email, set up a profile or use any interactive features and
services that we may make available from time to time on this Site.
ii. Personally-Identifying Information Provided by our Affiliates and Business Partners
We may also obtain Personal Information about you from our affiliates and business
partners, based on information that has been shared with or made available to them.
B. Use of Personally-Identifying Information
We may use the Personally-Identifiable Information that you submit for any purposes
related to our business. We may combine Personally-Identifiable Information that
you provide to us with Personally-Identifiable Information about you that we obtain
from our affiliates and business partners.
C. Disclosure of Personally-Identifying Information
As described in Section 3(A) ("Collecting Personally–Identifying Information from
Site Users"), users may, at their option, disclose their own Personally-Identifying
Information by any means they choose. We will disclose Personally-Identifying Information
in the following circumstances:
i. Surveys
From time to time, we may also ask you to participate in surveys for our general
business and marketing purposes. Any Personally-Identifying Information provided
to us in connection with a survey will be used only in relation to that survey,
and will be disclosed to third parties not bound by this Privacy Policy only in
non-personally-identifying, aggregated form.
ii. Contests, Giveaways and other Promotions
From time to time, we may offer you the opportunity to participate in contests,
giveaways and other promotions. Any information submitted in connection with promotions
will be subject to the terms of the promotion, not this Privacy Policy. You will
be given the option to consent to the use of your Personally-Identifying Information
at the time you sign up for the promotion. You will not be required to participate
in any promotion.
iii. Employees, Third-Party Processors, Third-Party Service Providers and Third Party
Affiliates
We will disclose Personally-Identifying Information to our employees, contractors,
affiliates, distributors, dealers, vendors and suppliers who process Personally-Identifying
Information on our behalf, participate with us in the provision or operation of
this Site, provide you with services or make potential opportunities available to
you.
iv. By Law, to Protect Rights and to Comply with Our Policies
We disclose Personally-Identifying information if: (1) required to do so by law,
or in response to a subpoena or court order; (2) we believe in our sole discretion
that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect against fraud, to protect the
property or other rights of us or other users, third parties or the public at large;
or (3) we believe that you have abused the service by using it to attack other systems
or to gain unauthorized access to any other system, to engage in spamming or otherwise
to violate applicable laws.
v. Business Transfers; Bankruptcy
We reserve the right to transfer all Personally-Identifying Information in our possession
to a successor entity in the event of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy or other
sale of all or a portion of our assets. Other than to the extent ordered by a bankruptcy
or other court, the use and disclosure of all transferred Personally-Identifying
Information will be subject to this Privacy Policy, or to a new privacy policy if
you are given notice of that new privacy policy and you affirmatively opt-in to
accept it. Personally-Identifying Information submitted or collected after a transfer,
however, may be subject to a new privacy policy adopted by the successor entity.
vi. Marketing Communications
We may email you about products and services that we believe may be of interest
to you. If you wish to opt-out of receiving marketing materials from us, please
follow the instructions at the bottom of each email for opting out.
vii. Email Service
You may have the opportunity to use a service to send electronic mail to another
user or email list. In such cases, your valid email address and real name will be
included with such messages. In order to prevent abuse, you may not opt out of such
a display, but you may choose to refrain from using this service to transmit an
email message.
Third parties are under no obligation to comply with this Privacy Policy with respect
to Personally-Identifying Information that you provide directly to those third parties
or that those third parties collect for themselves. We do not control the third-party
sites that may be accessible through this Site. Thus, this Privacy Policy does not
apply to information provided to third-party sites or gathered by the third parties
that operate them. Before visiting a third-party site, whether by means of a link
on this Site or otherwise, and before providing any Personally-Identifying Information
to any third party, you should inform yourself of the privacy policies and practices
(if any) of the third party responsible for that site, and should take those steps
necessary to your discretion, to protect your privacy.
Because of changes in technology and the growth and development of our business,
or for other business reasons, we may need to modify this Privacy Policy from time
to time. We will alert you by email if this policy is revised (if you have given
us your email address), and we will post a copy of the new policy with its effective
date on this Site. It is therefore important that you register with the site and
notify us if you change your email address. If you do not provide us with a current
email address, you should regularly review this policy to ensure that you are informed
of any changes.
