Flashsound.com Statement of Privacy
This document was last updated January 1, 2003.
At Flashsound, we are committed to protecting your privacy and to developing technology that gives you the most powerful and secure online experience. You can travel through most of our site without giving us any information about yourself. But sometimes we do need information to provide services that you request, and this statement of privacy explains data collection and use in those situations. Please read the complete flashsound.com privacy statement.
Collecting your Personal Information
We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you (personal information) or allows us to contact you. Generally, this information is requested when you are asked to register when purchasing and registering Flashsound products. Personal information collected by flashsound.com often is limited to e-mail address, language, country or location, but may include other information when needed to provide a service you requested.
For example: If you choose to make a purchase on the Web site, we will request personal information such as: name, address, telephone number, credit card number and other pertinent information.
When you buy and install a new product, we may ask you to register your purchase electronically. When you do, we keep this registration information on file with any information you've already given us on previous visits to our Web site. This is considered your personal profile.
Use of your Personal Information
We use your personal information for four primary purposes:
- To make the site easier for you to use by not making you enter your personal information more than once.
- To help you quickly find software, services or information on flashsound.com.
- To help us create and deliver content most relevant to you.
- To alert you to product upgrades, special offers, updated information and other new services from Flashsound or its affiliates.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including packaging, mailing and delivering purchases, answering customer questions about products or services, sending postal mail and processing event registration. We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
Flashsound will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Flashsound or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Flashsound and its family of Web sites, and, (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Flashsound, its Web sites, or the public.
Control of your Personal Information
When you register, or otherwise give us personal information, flashsound.com will not share that information with third parties without your permission, other than for the limited exceptions already listed. It will only be used for the purposes stated above.
Registering also allows you to tell us how or whether you want flashsound.com to communicate with you.
flashsound.com may send out periodic e-mails informing you of technical service issues related to a product or service you requested. You will not be able to choose to unsubscribe to these mailings, as they are considered an essential part of the service you have chosen.
Access to your Personal Information
We will provide you with the means to ensure that your personal information is correct and current.
Security of your Personal Information
flashsound.com strictly protects the security of your personal information and honors your choices for its intended use. We carefully protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Your personal information is never shared outside the company without your permission, except under conditions explained above . Inside the company, data is stored in password-controlled servers with limited access. Your information may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country where Flashsound, its subsidiaries, affiliates or agents are located.
You also have a significant role in protecting your information. No one can see or edit your personal information without knowing your Passport and password, so do not share these with others.
Protection of Children's Personal Information
The flashsound.com site does not publish content that is targeted to children.
Use of Cookies
A cookie is a small piece of data that is stored on your hard drive after you visit certain Web sites. This data can be used to monitor what you do while visiting these Web sites. It is important to realize, however, that the only personal information (for instance, name, address, telephone number, e-mail address) a cookie can contain is information you voluntarily provide yourself.
Flashsound uses cookies to anonymously track our visitors. Each visitor is assigned a unique identification number; we do not know the identity of a visitor based solely on this number. Each of your page requests is tagged with your ID number. That allows us to determine how many unique visitors use our Web site over a certain period of time.
Most Internet browsers offer you at least three options related to cookies. You can:
- Always accept all cookies.
- Instruct the browser to alert you before a cookie is stored on your hard drive.
- Block the use of all cookies.
Refer to your browser's Internet options or preferences for more information.
