PRIVACY POLICY

INTRODUCTION

Soundtrckr is a social music application for smartphones and web (both mobile and web services are referred to here as the “Service”) and also includes the Software available for download (the “Software).   Users can tune into the music their friends are listening to, find out where they're listening, and geo-tag songs to real world locations for other people to discover.   They can also create and broadcast radio stations, download songs and share content with friends both on and off the Service through social networks. 

Soundtrckr is committed to protecting your privacy when you use the Service.  We only collect information from you as needed to run the Service and deliver to you a personalized experience.  This Privacy Policy informs you of the types of information we collect about you, how that information is used, and whether and to whom we disclose it.  By downloading the Software and using the mobile and web services, you are consenting to and agreeing to be bound by this Privacy Policy.  If you do not accept the terms set out in our Privacy Policy, please do not use soundtrckr.  We may update or modify this Privacy Policy from time to time, and recommend that you check the Soundtrckr website regularly for any changes.

COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

While using the Service, you may post or upload certain content or comments through the mobile or web services, which may include text or images, in audio or video formats.  In doing so, you may disclose certain information about yourself.  We may automatically collect certain aggregated anonymous data regarding the use of soundtrckr, like the number of users and frequency and manner of usage of soundtrckr, or the extent to which certain features are used.  In addition, certain non-personally identifiable information is collected by soundtrckr, Google Analytics and/or our third-party providers during your use of the Service and in serving music recommendations and advertisements, including, for example, the number of times you have viewed an advertisement (but not your name, address, or other personal information). 

We may also use cookies to track and understand the traffic on our website and through the mobile application.

We do not control these advertiser cookies and users of the Service should check the privacy policy of such advertisers to understand whether and how they use cookies.  As part of the service, we use a third party service, Google Maps, to determine your location so as to customize the experience of the Service for users.  You have the option to turn off geo-location if you do not want your location to be determined, however you will not then be able to use the features of the Service that are built around location services.

In the registration process, we may collect and/or you may choose to post profile information about your interests, friends, groups or affiliations, photos, personal statements, or other information about yourself.  Some of the registration information may be personally identifiable information, which may include your name, physical and e-mail addresses, home or mobile phone numbers, software and hardware attributes, type of computer or, with purchases or subscriptions, credit card or other payment information.  Please be aware that if you disclose personally identifiable information in your profile or when you post comments, the information may become publicly available.

Aggregated information that we and our advertising partners collect, as well as other non-personal information, is used to better understand our users and customize our Service for users' particular preferences. This information is not used in a way that will personally identify you.

We may use your personally identifiable information to fulfill your requests for services, to communicate with you about your account, to support your activities on the Service, and to respond to your questions. We may also use your personally identifiable information and/or your profile information to personalize your listening experience on the Service.  Soundtrckr identifies you on the Service by your first name and your last initial.  You may edit your personal information that you entered when you created your account or make changes to your profile information, within the mobile application or on the soundtrckr website.

This information is not linked to any personally identifiable information.  Soundtrckr will not share your personally identifiable information with any third-parties, except if required in response to legal process such as a court order or subpoena, to prevent or combat fraud, as required by federal or state law, to enforce our Terms of Use; and for the protection of the rights, property or safety of the Service, our users or others.  In addition, if required, we may disclose your information in connection with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation of our company.

SECURITY

Soundtrckr is committed to taking appropriate measures to protect your privacy against unauthorized disclosures.  Soundtrckr uses a variety of secure techniques designed to protect your information.  While we have implemented safeguards, you should be aware that Internet security technology rapidly changes. As such, we cannot guarantee that the safeguards we employ today can protect your personal information from the threats of tomorrow, or that our security measures are failsafe and not subject to circumvention or unauthorized intrusion. You should also be aware that, despite our best efforts, factors beyond our control could result in disclosure of data.  If you access any third-party applications, follow links from the Service to another service or website, or view the Service embedded on another service or website, the information you disclose may no longer be covered by this Privacy Policy.  You are encouraged to check whether other privacy policies will govern before you release any personal information to a third party or service.

YOUNG CHILDREN

We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13.  To best protect your child's privacy, we suggest that you carefully supervise your child's access if they join our Service.  

INTERNATIONAL

You should be aware that the United States and other countries have not harmonized their privacy regulations.  Because the Service is intended specifically for users in the United States, we have written our Privacy Policy to satisfy United States regulations and make no representations regarding the laws and regulations of other jurisdictions.
