Privacy Policy
MusicPin is fully committed to respecting your privacy and to protecting any information you provide to it. We treat both privacy and security as a priority and make every effort to ensure that all the information provided by you is protected. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) respects and protects the privacy of all visitors to MusicPin and intends to give you as much information and control as possible.
The Policy explains how MusicPin collects and uses information. We hope that our candour will remove any concerns you may have and will make visiting MusicPin a rewarding experience.
Although we endeavour to keep you up-to-date on all changes made to the website, this Policy may be amended from time to time without notice to you. It is your responsibility to read the Policy carefully and review any changes that may have been made.
What information does MusicPin collect and how does MusicPin use this information?
1. Personal Information
In order to download music from MusicPin you will need to enter personal information in the MP3 download form. You will be asked to provide your name, an email address, date of birth, your city and your gender. This is used, as a security means in the event you do not receive your download link in your email through a technical error, which we sometimes cannot control and in such case would require resending a link to the appropriate email address. We might often offer your name and email addresses to artists and labels whose music you have downloaded only as part of our direct marketing scheme to enable that you receive regular updates from them.
2. Location-based Information
We keep track of the domains from which people visit MusicPin, the IP address of their computers, where a user comes from and where they leave to but cannot identify each individual user by name unless provided.
3. Statistical Information
As discussed above, we log (but do not use) personally identifiable information with respect to the downloading of users whilst they are on MusicPin. We do not use this information in any manner in conjunction with your personal information (i.e. although we here at MusicPin can connect your username to your email address, we don’t use a personally identifiable activity log in any manner whatsoever and no third parties are given access to it). Please note that we do log and use statistical information in the aggregate. From this information we are able to compile download statistics in the form of percentages of all users. We can of course compare the download statistics of one song to those of another song. We are also able to perform more sophisticated statistical operations based on the information collected. From this information we are able to determine which songs are “similar” in terms of overall download taste and we can see which genres of music tend to be similar. As a direct-marketing service, we may supply certain aggregate statistical information to record labels and artists that allow us to download their music on MusicPin in order to help them understand the likes and dislikes of music listeners.
4. Download Links
We will display links to third party sites when sending an MP3 download link to your email, however we cannot control and cannot be held responsible for those other sites, their privacy policies or how they treat information about their users. We advise you to check their privacy policies to find out how they are treating your personal information.
5. Data Protection
MusicPin complies with the Data Protection Act 1998, including all UK amending legislation and EU directives. Pursuant to the Act, you have the right to be informed of and to have access to all of the personally identifiable information we hold about you.
6. Security
MusicPin endeavours to protect the security of your information as much as we endeavour to protect our own information and network. We employ firewalls and store all of our files and information on secure terminals. In addition, all user passwords are protected by encryption technology.
7. MusicPin Policy for Young People
We realise and understand that many young people love music and will therefore visit MusicPin, however we encourage all persons under 12 to consult with their parents before submitting any information to MusicPin and indeed any other website. Having said this, we believe that ultimately it is the responsibility of parents to supervise children when online and we therefore recommend that parental control tools be put in place.
8. Disclaimer
We believe in privacy and therefore will take all reasonable measures to ensure that your personally identifiable information remains private. However, in the event that we are forced to disclose personally identifiable information by law (i.e. by court order), we will make such a disclosure without being in violation of this Policy.
9. Business Transitions
If MusicPin is acquired by another company or sells a portion of its assets to another company, it is likely that user information will be a part of the assets transferred. If as a result of such a business transition information is to be collected, used or disclosed in a manner or for a purpose different from that stated above, MusicPin will endeavour to notify all users of such changes.
10. Consent
By disclosing any information to MusicPin through the website you consent to the collection, storage and use of such information by MusicPin as set out in this Policy and the Terms and Conditions. If MusicPin makes any changes to this Policy these changes will be detailed on this page in order to ensure that you are fully aware of what information is collected, how it is used and under what circumstances it will be disclosed. If you are concerned about how your information is collected, used or disclosed, you should periodically check back at this page. If you have any specific concerns not addressed in the Policy, please contact us using the feedback page on the website.
