Effective on June 7, 2010.
This Privacy Statement
("Statement") describes the personal information we
collect through our websites, PC applications, and mobile applications
(the "Site"), and how we collect and use it. The terms
"we", "us", and "Audiogalaxy"
refer to AG Entertainment Inc., a Delaware corporation.
I. Information We Collect and How We Use It
Account information. We
ask for and store information about you when you create an account on
the Site, such as your name, email address, and signup location. You
can also import your account information from a third party to make
the Audiogalaxy registration process easier. We use your name to create
your account name (first name and last initial), and we use your signup
location to help target the Site to the town you live in. We use your
email address to send you updates, provide services to you in connection
with the Site, and to contact you on behalf of other users sending you
messages, complements, and the like. We may also use your signup location,
birth date, and gender (if you supply them) to display relevant advertising
to you.
Public content. You can contribute to the Site in a number of different ways, including writing reviews, uploading photos, participating in talk threads, sending compliments, filling out your public profile, and voting on other users' contributions. We may store these contributions (your "Public Content"), display them to other users, and use them for promotional purposes. Note that if you include personally identifiable information in your Public Content, it can be used and viewed by others. We are not responsible for the information you choose to include in your Public Content.
Messaging. The
Site allows you to exchange messages with others using the messaging
feature and email. We may store these messages in order to deliver them
and allow you to manage them.
Audiogalaxy Helper. Audiogalaxy
makes use of a client application that runs on your PC to scan and find
tracks on your computer so that you can play them from other devices.
We may from time to time automatically upgrade your client when a new
version is released to add features, fix issues, or change settings. In order to improve
the Audiogalaxy Helper application we may automatically collect debug client crashes if
the client encounters an error on your computer. These are automatically sent to us
so we can evaluate them and fix bugs providing you with the highest quality software possible.
Audiogalaxy does not bundle 3rd party software with Audiogalaxy Helper.
Inviting friends. You
can invite your friends to join the Site by providing their contact
information, or by entering your log-in credentials to import your address
book from other sites. We may store and use your friends' contact information
to invite them to join and connect with you on the Site. Your friends
will always have the opportunity to opt-out of receiving further emails
from us.
Third party services. We
allow you to access third party services, such as Facebook and Twitter,
to share your selected Public Content with those services, and import
information about who you are connected with on those other services
so you can connect with them on the Site. You can always opt out on
your Audiogalaxy account page. Some of those third party services may
also provide us with information from your accounts there to enhance
and personalize your use of this Site. For example, you can allow Facebook
to tell us who your Facebook friends are so you can follow their activity
on Audiogalaxy.. You can modify your privacy settings with those other
services directly. For example, you can adjust your privacy setting
on Facebook here to prevent your Facebook friends
from sharing information about you from their Facebook accounts with
Audiogalaxy.
Activity and log data. We
automatically store information related to your use of the Site, such
as the pages you view on the Site, your browser type, IP address, song
metadata, requested URL, browser language, referring URL, and the date
and time of your visit. We use this type of information to administer
the Site and provide the highest possible level of service to you. We
also use this information in the aggregate to perform statistical analyses
of user behavior and characteristics in order to measure interest in
and use of the various areas of the Site.
Cookies. We send cookies to your computer in order to uniquely identify your browser and improve the quality of our service. "Cookies" refer to small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer's hard drive while you are viewing the Site. We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them). Persistent cookies can be removed by following your browser help file directions. If you choose to disable cookies, some areas of the Site may not work properly or at all. Our cookies are linked to your information, such as your name, email address and password. We enable some of our business partners to use cookies in conjunction with your use of the Site. We have no access to or control over the use of these cookies. These cookies collect information about your use of the Site, such as where you came from, which pages you visited within the Site, and possibly other sites you visit if those sites cooperate with the same third party, but do not collect your name, email address, contact information or other personally identifiable information that by itself would allow the third party to identify or contact you.
Feedback. You should
feel free to give us feedback, register a complaint, or ask questions
about the Site. We may store your communications, including any personal
information you include in them, so that we can effectively respond
to you.
Administration. We
may use the information described above for routine administrative purposes,
such as investigating abuses on the Site, responding to user inquiries
and enforcing and applying our Terms of Service and Statement.
Data storage. We
store data in the United States.
Credit Card Purchases. If
you purchase business advertising or other Audiogalaxy products and
services online, we collect and store billing and credit card information.
This information will only be shared with third parties who perform
tasks (such as fulfilling orders and processing credit card payments)
required to complete the purchase transaction. When you enter sensitive
information (such as a credit card number) on our registration or order
forms, we encrypt that information using 128-bit secure socket layer
technology (SSL).
II. Transfer of Information
Public Content. If
you post content for public view on the Site, we may distribute such
Public Content to a wider audience by sharing it (or portions of it)
with third parties so that they can publish it on their own websites
and media platforms. We may ask them to credit you as the source of
these contributions by including your account name and profile photo.
Third party service
providers. We may use third parties to provide technical and customer
support, perform tracking and reporting functions, conduct quality assurance
testing, perform payment processing and provide other services in connection
with the Site. We may share information about you with them so that
they can perform the services they are required to perform, but they
are not permitted to use your personal information other than to provide
the services requested by you.
Third party advertising. Third
parties serve some of the ads on the Site. We do not send any individualized
personal information to them, but they may have access to information
that they obtain through cookies or that you share with them yourself.
Note that we do not rent, share, sell or trade personally identifiable
information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
Aggregate information. We
may share non-personal information in the aggregate to third parties
relating to user behavior in connection with actual or prospective business
relationship with those third parties, such as advertisers and content
distributors. For example, we may disclose the number of users that
have been exposed to, or clicked on, advertising banners.
Business transfers. We
may share your information with our parent company, subsidiaries, joint
ventures, or other companies under a common control that we may have
now or in the future, in which case we will require them to honor this
Statement. If another company acquires our company or all or substantially
all of our assets, that company will possess your information, and will
assume the rights and obligations with respect to that information as
described in this Statement.
Investigations. We
reserve the right to investigate abuses on the Site, and enforce and
apply our Terms of Service and Statement. We may disclose information
about you to third parties if we have a good faith belief that such
disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) take action regarding suspected
illegal activities; (b) enforce or apply our Terms of Service and Statement;
(c) comply with legal process and law enforcement instructions and orders,
such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, judicial proceeding, or
other legal process served on us; or (d) protect our rights, reputation,
and property, or that of our users, affiliates, or the public.
III. Links
The Site may contain links to third party websites with which we have no affiliation. Except as set forth herein, we do not share your personal information with those third parties, and are not responsible for their privacy practices. We suggest you read the privacy policies on all such third party websites.
IV. Our Policy Towards Children
The Site is intended
for general audiences and is not directed to children under 13. We do
not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If
you become aware that your child has provided us with personal information
without your consent, please contact us here. If we become aware that a child
under 13 has provided us with personal information without parental
consent, we take steps to remove such information and terminate the
child's account.
V. Security
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

VII. Modifications to this Statement
We may revise this Statement from time to time. The most current version of the Statement will govern our use of your information and will always be located here. If we make a change to this Statement that, in our sole discretion, is material, we will notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes prior to implementing the change on the Site and/or via the email associated with your account. By continuing to access or use the Services after those changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Statement.
