Privacy Policy
Kevin
Borich’s
site cares about your privacy. This privacy policy tells you what
information we collect at our web site and how we use it. If you
choose to visit, your visit is subject to this privacy policy, and
you agree to the terms of it.
WHAT
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
You can share your
personal information with us, and where you can communicate with
others.
Registration
-
Our site gives you the opportunity to register with
us, and sometimes registration is required before certain site
features can be used. Our registration form may request your contact
information (such as your name, email address, mailing address,
etc.), demographic information (such as your country, gender, etc.),
and profile data (such as your music preferences, entertainment
practices, etc). You may be assigned a site username and/or
password. For our internal purposes, we use this information to
communicate with you and provide the services you have requested,
and to provide a more personalized experience on our site. For
example, your registration may allow you to use and post to site
message boards, create site profiles, etc. We use aggregate
demographic and profile information about our audience in order to
improve our service, for research purposes, marketing/promotional
purposes and/or for industry reporting purposes, among others. By
visiting our site, you affirmatively consent to our collection and
use of your data.
Newsletters
and Other Communications from Us -
Our
registered users and customers may receive newsletters, email
communications, or communications through other channels for, among
other purposes, the promotion and marketing of a product or service
from our site, and we may also offer other visitors to our site the
opportunity to sign up to receive such information. When there is a
separate sign-up for newsletters, we ask for contact information
such as name and email address, and, sometimes, demographic and
profile information. By visiting our site, you affirmatively consent
to our collection and use of your data. We use this information in
the same manner as we use the contact information in the
Registration process described above. We may offer our users the
choice whether to receive mailings from others that we think will be
of interest. Recipients of our mailings can unsubscribe by following
instructions that may appear at the end of email communications.
Note that in order to keep our registered users informed about the
operation of our service, we may send emails and announcements that
are needed for the proper functioning and administration of our
sites and service.
Communications with Us -
We have features
where you can submit information to us (such as when contacting us
with a question or feedback). We may retain your emails and other
information you submit to us for our internal purposes, and to help
us to serve you better.
Communications with Friends -
We may offer
features where you can send information to others, such as e-cards
or "Tell A Friend" features. We will use the contact information you
enter for your friends to send the email or e-card.
Interactive
and Community Features -
Our site may offer
interactive and community features, such as message boards, chat,
email accounts, short message service (SMS), instant messaging,
profiles, personal homepages, etc. All information posted or sent
through these features may be publicly available, and you should be
aware that when you voluntarily disclose personal information (e.g.,
user name, email address, phone number) through these features, that
information can be collected and used by others and may result in
unsolicited communications from other people. By accessing these
features and disclosing personal information, you affirmatively
consent to the distribution of your personal information as
described above. Users' posts may be publicly and/or internally
associated with their profiles/screen-names. Users are solely
responsible for the content of messages they post or send on public
forums.
Contests,
Sweepstakes and Surveys -
We may also have
contests, sweepstakes and surveys at our site. When you enter or
participate in them, we request contact information from you (such
as your full name, email address, mailing address, and telephone
number) and may also request demographic or profile information. We
will use the information you provide for the purpose of conducting
the promotion (for example, to contact you if you have won). We may
also use the information to send you newsletters and other
information we think may be of interest. Recipients of our mailings
can unsubscribe by following instructions that may appear at the end
of the email communication. Any personal information we collect may
be associated with registration information. We may share aggregate
information with others. We may sometimes partner with sponsors in
offering contests, sweepstakes or surveys, and may share (provide
and receive) information with them. By entering or participating in
such contests, sweepstakes, and surveys, you affirmatively consent
to our collection and use of your data.
AUTOMATIC
DATA COLLECTION
Our web site has
features that automatically collect information from users to assist
us in creating a site that honors our users' preferences and serve
their interests and needs.
Our sites use
cookies, which are small data files containing information about the
user that are stored on the user's hard drive. Some cookies are used
to make login to our sites easier (such as by remembering usernames
and passwords). If users reject cookies, they may be limited in
using some areas of our sites. Cookies can also enable us to track
users' movements and target their interests to enhance their
experience at our site. We may also collect clickstream data and
assign unique identifiers to our users for the same purposes.
Information obtained with these technologies may be associated with
your personal information.
We or a
third-party advertisement server may also use cookies in connection
with targeting advertisements or promotions to users. Our
advertisers and other third parties whose products or services are
promoted on our site may also use cookies or other technology, and
we advise you to check their privacy policies for information about
their privacy practices.
We may also gather
information such as the date, time, browser type, navigation
history, and IP address of all visitors to our site . We use this
information for our internal security audit log, trend analysis, and
system administration, and to gather broad demographic information
about our user base. We may associate this information with your
personal information. By visiting our site, you affirmatively
consent to our collection, use, and distribution of your data.
WITH WHOM
YOUR INFORMATION IS SHARED
Information
provided at our site may be shared with our management,
representatives, and any new label we may join. As with other third
parties, we are not responsible for how they handle the data once
they receive it. When we have co-branded or sponsored services, or
when we join with other parties to provide specific services, we may
share (provide and receive) your personal information with them. By
visiting this site, you affirmatively consent to our collection, use
and distribution of your data.
We may share your information with
other third parties with whom we have business relationships and, in
some cases, we cannot control or know their privacy practices. By
visiting our site, you affirmatively consent to our collection, use,
and distribution of your data.
Other than as set
forth in this policy, we do not share your personally identifiable
information with other companies, apart from those acting as our
agents in providing our service to you, and which agree to use it
only for that purpose and to keep the information secure and
confidential. We will also disclose information we maintain when
required to do so by law, for example, in response to a court order
or a subpoena or other legal obligation, in response to a law
enforcement agency's request, or in special cases when we have
reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to
identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be
causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or
unintentionally) our rights or property. You should also be aware
that courts of equity, such as Australian Bankruptcy Courts, may
have the authority under certain circumstances to permit your
information to be shared or transferred to third parties without
your permission.
We may share
(provide and receive) aggregate information, which is not personally
identifiable, with others. This information may include demographic
data such as the gender and/or geographic location of groups of
users, but it will not include personal information (such as your
name or email address). We use aggregate demographic information
about our audience in order to improve our service, for research
purposes, marketing/promotional purposes and/or for industry
reporting purposes, among others.
CHOICE
By accepting this
privacy policy, you expressly choose to receive certain
communications from us and third parties, and you expressly agree to
the privacy practices described herein. Our site may also provide
you with additional specific opportunities to select communications
you wish to receive. You may change your privacy preferences, e.g.
choose to cease receiving certain communications, by informing us of
your new preferences. We will be able to honor your new preferences
most quickly if you inform us of them by following the appropriate
instructions in any communication you receive from us. Please be
aware that messages you receive from us through SMS and instant
messaging systems (and other systems apart from email) may not
include an option to cease receiving communications; to change your
privacy preferences with respect to those communications, please go
to the profile page at the site where you provided your personal
information or direct your instructions to the Contact identified at
the end of this policy.
ACCESS
If a user's
personally identifiable information changes (such as zip code), we
endeavor to provide a way to correct or update that user's personal
data. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions
regarding making changes to your data.
DATA
COLLECTION FROM CHILDREN
We strive to
comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We
do not knowingly collect personal information from Australian
children under 13 without appropriate parental notice and consent.
We are committed to protecting children's privacy.
SECURITY
Security for all
personally identifiable information is extremely important to us. We
store your personal information securely, and use special procedures
designed to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse,
unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration or destruction.
MERCHANT/E-COMMERCE AREAS
Our site has
merchant/e-commerce areas, where users can purchase merchandise.
Personal information collected at this area is not shared without
the purchasers' consent. We endeavor to provide a privacy policy
link where users can review the privacy policies that apply to data
collection and use at that area and we urge our users to review
them.
LINKS
We may provide
links to other sites. We are not responsible for those other sites,
their privacy policies or how they treat information about their
users, and we advise you to check their privacy policies.
PRIVACY
POLICY CHANGES
We reserve the
right to modify, alter or otherwise update this Privacy Policy at
any time, so we encourage you to review this policy from time to
time. Changes to this privacy policy are effective at the time they
are posted and your continued use of our sites after posting will
constitute acceptance of, and agreement to be bound by, those
changes.
