MusicSUBMIT Corporation ("MusicSUBMIT ") has created this
web site to provide an online platform for musicians, music
promoters and other music professionals.
To assist you in using our www. MusicSUBMIT.com web site (the "Web
Site" or the "Site"), and to ensure a clear understanding of
the relationship arising from your use of our Site, we have
created a Privacy Policy and a set of Terms
and Conditions of Use. Our Privacy Policy explains
how we protect and treat contact and other information you
provide to us through the Site, and our Terms and Conditions
of Use govern your use of our Site generally. Please read our
Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions of Use carefully
- they impose legal obligations on you. By using or accessing
our Site, you are acknowledging that you have read and understood
these terms and agree to be legally bound by them.
Privacy Policy
We respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy")
constitutes the agreement between you and MusicSUBMIT regarding
your provision, and our collection and use, of contact and
other information you may provide while using our Site. In
this Privacy Policy, the words "you" and "your" refer to
any person accessing the Site, and the words "we," "us," and "our" refer
to MusicSUBMIT.
By using our Site, you consent to this Privacy Policy.
1. Overview
We have organized the elements of our Privacy Policy in sections.
If after reading through the Privacy Policy you still have
questions, please feel free to contact us by clicking on
the following link: contact
us.
2. The Types Of Information You Potentially May Provide
This Privacy Policy only applies to information you provide
to us online while visiting or using our Site. It does not
apply to information we have obtained offline or through
other traditional means. Information you may provide in visiting
or using our Site falls into two broad categories: personally
identifiable information, and aggregate information. "Personally
Identifiable Information" is information that can be used
to identify or contact you, such as your name, phone number,
email address, or mailing address. "Aggregate Information" is
information that does not identify you, and may include,
for example, statistical information concerning the web pages
on our Site that users most frequent. Our Privacy Policy
governs both categories of information, as detailed below.
2.1. Information That Identifies You: Personally Identifiable
Information
We allow you to decide whether you wish to provide us with
Personally Identifiable Information. Accordingly, we have
structured our Web Site so that you may visit our Site, and
review a range of information about bands, musicians other
materials relating to the music industry, without revealing
your identity or providing any Personally Identifying Information.
One of our goals in creating this Web Site, however, is to
enable bands and musicians to post information about themselves
and their music (for example, through a MusicSUBMIT Press
Kit ("MPK™")), and to enable music promoters and other
music professionals to access such postings and book appearances.
Therefore, in order to post any such information and book
appearances, and in order to access certain other materials
or information from our Site, we ask that you register and
provide us with contact and other information, as provided
below.
2.1.1. Registration Information
To post information on our Site, and to obtain access to
certain other materials or information from our Site, we
ask that you become a registered user. Our registration forms
will specify the information which you must provide in order
to enjoy the particular feature, and the information which
you may, at your option, choose to provide or withhold. Our
obligations concerning, and permitted uses of, any Personally
Identifiable Information that you provide during the registration
process are set out below.
As indicated above, you may use our Site without registering
or submitting any information to us. In that case, the only
information we collect from your visit will be Aggregate
Information that does not identify you in any way. Our obligations
concerning, and permitted uses of, Aggregate Information
are also set out below.
2.1.2. Surveys and Questionnaires
If you choose to participate in surveys or questionnaires
which from time to time we may post on the Site, we may ask
that, in addition to providing your responses, you also provide
contact and other Personally Identifiable Information. If
we link, or combine in any way your responses with your Personally
Identifiable Information, we will treat the combined information
as Personally Identifiable Information under our Privacy
Policy, as provided below. If we separate your responses
from, and they are independent of any Personally Identifiable
Information, such that a third party reviewing your responses
would be unable to link the responses to you or your practice,
the responses will be treated as Aggregate Information under
our Privacy Policy, again as provided below.
2.1.3. Email And Other Direct Communications
From time to time, you may wish to provide us with comments
and feedback concerning our Site generally. By communicating
with us for these purposes, you may provide us with your
email address and other Personally Identifiable Information.
We will handle such information that you provide in this
manner in accordance with our Privacy Policy for Personally
Identifiable Information, set out below.
2.2. Information That Does Not Identify You: Aggregate
Information
When you browse our Site, the choices you make may provide
information concerning your interests and concerning the
appeal and efficacy of associated Site features. For example,
if you spend time browsing information on events taking place
in Georgia and Florida, this suggests that you may have an
interest in events in the Southeast generally. If a number
of visitors spend time browsing information on events taking
place in Georgia and Florida, this may suggest that we have
designed this portion of our Site effectively.
Information concerning our visitors' activities at the Site
- which pages they visit, and how long they view these pages,
for example - is Aggregate Information. This information
does not identify a particular user, but does provide potentially
useful data concerning our users' preferences and the efficacy
and interest of our Site's features. The manner in which
we collect Aggregate Information is set out below.
2.2.1. Cookies
We collect Aggregate Information about your use of our Site
through cookies and similar Internet technologies. "Cookies" are
small text files that a web site can use to recognize repeat
users, to facilitate the user's ongoing access to and use
of the site, and to compile aggregate data to improve the
site and focus advertising. Cookies work as follows: a web
site will send a cookie to your browser that uniquely associates
your computer with information stored at the site. Your browser
places the cookie in its cookies file. When you next access
that site on your computer, the site recognizes the cookie,
makes the stored information available, and adds new information
based on the present visit.
Our cookies do not collect or retain your name or other Personally
Identifying Information. In addition, no third parties are
permitted to use cookies created at our Site for their own
purposes.
We treat all information collected through cookies and similar
Internet technologies as Aggregate Information; our obligations
concerning, and permitted uses of, Aggregate Information
are set out below.
2.2.2. Disabling Cookies
You may choose not to allow us to collect information through
cookies. If you wish, you can set your browser software to
reject cookies, and most browsers provide instructions for
disabling the cookies feature in their "Help" section. Because
cookies can be used to provide certain functionality, if
you disable your browser's cookies feature, certain elements
of our Site may be unavailable to you.
2.2.3. IP Addresses
A so-called "Internet Protocol" (IP) address is associated
with your computer's connection to the Internet. We use your
computer's IP address to maintain contact with you as you
navigate through our Site. We also may use your computer's
IP address to provide you with personalized content. Similar
to cookies, your computer's IP address by itself does not
identify you personally. We treat IP addresses, therefore,
as Aggregate Information, as provided below. If your IP address
is combined by us with any Personally Identifiable Information,
the combined information will be treated by us as Personally
Identifiable Information, as set out below.
2.2.4. Advertisers' Collection Of Information
With Internet technology, it is possible for advertisers,
as well as site hosts, to collect information through the
use of cookies and other technologies, such as so-called "clear
GIF" files. We have no control over, and cannot necessarily
protect against, the practices or policies of advertisers
or other web site hosts using such technologies.
3. How We Use The Information You Provide
The following section describes how we use the information
you provide, and details the specific obligations we undertake
to preserve your privacy.
3.1. Use of Contact Information
We use Personally Identifiable Information you provide to
us on our Site to post your MPK™ and other submissions,
and for other purposes specific to our Site. In connection
with postings you may request we make on the Site, users
of our Site shall have access to such information - which
may include personal information about you. For example,
your name, address, telephone number and/or email address
may be included in your MPK™ listing or other submissions
you request we post for contact purposes.
From time to time, we also may use Personally Identifiable
Information you give to us to provide you with information
concerning newsletters, updates, and other materials related
to the purposes of our Site. We also will use this information
to respond to questions and comments from you, and to inform
you of changes to our Privacy Policy or Terms and Conditions
of Use. You are free at any time to opt-out of receiving
email and other information we may send to you by following
the directions set out below.
3.2. We Use Aggregate Information Only In Ways That Do
Not Identify You
To measure our visitors' interest in and use of various areas
of our Site, and for other purposes set out below, we collect
Aggregate Information -- which is information that does not
identify you. Aggregate Information obtained through cookies,
for example, allows us to monitor how many users are visiting
our Site, and what areas of the Site present the most interest
to our users. We are able then to use this information to
improve the functionality and interest of Site. We also use
Aggregate Information to prepare statistical and other summary
analyses of our users' behavior and characteristics.
We may share Aggregate Information, and reports based on
this Information, with third parties unrelated to the Site.
Rest assured, however, that no such Aggregate Information
that we provide to third parties will allow anyone to identify
you, or determine anything personal about you. For example,
we might report to unrelated third parties (a) the number
of users of our Site; (b) the materials our users review
while at our Site; or (c) the fact that "45% of our users
live on the East Coast." We may charge third parties for
this information, and we may or may not limit the third parties'
use of this information. We do not allow third parties to
attempt to make Aggregate Information personally identifiable
by, for example, seeking to combine it with other information.
3.3. Any Information Linked With Your Personal Information
Is Treated As "Personally Identifiable Information"
To advance the goals of our Site, we may link (a) the Personally
Identifiable Information you have provided; with (b) Aggregate
Information concerning (for example) your interests and preferences,
as collected through our cookies. Linking this information
will allow us to create information packages and services
that are better tailored to your interests and preferences.
Among other effects, linking this information may allow us
generally to improve and focus our Site. If we combine or
link any information with your Personally Identifiable Information,
the resulting combination will be treated as Personally Identifiable
Information under this Privacy Policy. Accordingly, please
be aware that in such instances, personal information about
you may be made generally available on the Site in connection
with postings you may request we make on the Site, as set
forth above.
4. How We Safeguard Information We Collect
We have put in place security systems designed to prevent
unauthorized disclosure of information you provide to us.
These systems are structured to deter and prevent hackers
and others from accessing this information. Due to the nature
of Internet communications and evolving technologies, however,
we cannot provide, and disclaim, assurance that the information
you provide us will remain free from loss, misuse, or alteration
by third parties who, despite our efforts, obtain unauthorized
access.
5. How To Obtain Access to Information You Have Provided,
And How To Remove Your Information From Our Database
We allow you at any time to update, correct, or delete Personally
Identifiable Information you have provided us. After submitting
your registration information, you can view and modify this
information within the "Edit Profile" page of the Site.
If you request, we will remove your name and other Personally
Identifiable Information from our databases. Please understand,
however, that it may be impossible to remove this information
completely, due to backups and records of deletions. If you
wish to remove your name and other Personally Identifiable
Information from our database, please contact us.
Because Aggregate Information does not personally identify
our users, we do not provide our users with access to Aggregate
Information, and users may not update, revise, or delete
any Aggregate Information.
6. Additional General Provisions
6.1. Privacy Protection for Children
Our Site is not directed at children, and we will not accept
or request personal information from individuals we know
to be under 13. If we learn that a child under 13 has provided
us with Personally Identifiable Information, we will delete
this information from our databases, in accordance with our
deletion policy, set out above.
6.2. Participation in Online Discussions
If we include a "chat" or "forum" feature to the Site, you
may decide to participate in an online discussion. Please
keep in mind that any information you provide while participating
in an online chat or forum will be available to all participants.
These participants, and their transferees, may use Personally
Identifiable Information and other information you disclose
in this manner, to contact you and for other purposes. Accordingly,
if we choose to provide such features at the Site, we ask
that you participate prudently, as this Privacy Policy will
not cover the information you disclose in online discussions
at our Site.
6.3. Links To Other Web Sites
To give you access to other information relating to the music
industry, from time to time we may include on the Web Site
certain links to other sites. We provide these links as a
convenience, and we do not endorse the content or services
offered by, or the privacy policies in place at, these other
sites.
Our Privacy Policy covers only information we collect at
the Site, and other sites to which we link may have privacy
policies that differ considerably from our Privacy Policy.
We have structured our Site to make it reasonably clear when
you leave our Web Site and enter another web site. We encourage
you to review the privacy policies of each site you visit
through our links to ensure you are comfortable with these
policies. We are not responsible for the conduct or policies
of these third parties.
6.4. Court Orders, Subpoenas, And Other Required Disclosures
There are two exceptions to our Privacy Policy. First, we
may disclose Personally Identifiable Information as may be
required in legal proceedings, or in response to a subpoena,
court order, or administrative order compelling disclosure.
Second, in cases involving a threat of imminent harm to you
or others, we may release such information to prevent or
mitigate the threat. In any such case, we will seek to limit
the scope of disclosure, and will disclose only such information
as is reasonably required to fulfill the purpose of the disclosure.
6.5. Changes in Our Privacy Policy
From time to time we may revise our Privacy Policy. We will
post these changes here, in our Privacy Policy. Your use
of our Site following any such change constitutes your agreement
to follow and be bound by the Privacy Policy, as changed.
6.6. Relationship to Term of Use
In addition to this Privacy Policy, your use of our Site
is also subject to our Terms and Conditions of Use (our "Terms
of Use"). The provisions of our Terms of Use are incorporated
herein, including, without limitation, Sections 12 (Choice
of Law and Jurisdiction), 14 (Assignment), 17 (Severability),
18 (Survival) and 19 (Complete Agreement).
7. Your Consent
By using our Web Site, you consent to our collection and
use of information, in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Privacy Policy, please refrain from becoming a registered
