Last Updated on 10/01/2009

We do not send spam or sell email addresses.

We are serious about your online privacy. If you have any questions concerning our privacy policy, please email us at privacy@muzic.com.

About our website:

Our website provides an online service that allows our members to set up unique profiles that can be linked together through networks of friends and favorites. Our website's members can view each others' profiles, communicate with music lovers on the service, discover new artists, share music discoveries, create music playlists, create songcards, post comments, and describe their interests. To enhance our members' experience, we request and display some personal information to other members and visitors, which allows our users to identify each other and expand their network of friends and favorites. Our website's members can change their profile information at any time.

Information we collect and track:

We collect member-submitted account information such as name and email address to identify members and send notifications related to the use of the service. We also collect user-submitted profile information such as gender, age, location, etc. Members may choose to provide additional information beyond their basic profile for their personal profiles.

We also log non-personally-identifiable information including IP address, profile information, aggregate user data, and browser type, from users and visitors to the site. This data is used to manage the website, track usage and improve our website's services.

Member profile information including members' pictures and chosen screen names are displayed to people in order to facilitate user interaction in our music network. Email addresses are used for the purposes of inviting friends to join our music network and to send notifications related to the service. With the exception of inviting friends and notifications, a user's email address is not shared or displayed to people on our service.

Sharing of the information we collect:

As a matter of policy, except where you are expressly informed otherwise, we do not sell, rent, share, trade or give away any of your personal information unless required by law or for the protection of your membership. However, we may share profile information and aggregate usage information in a non-personally identifiable manner to advertisers and other third parties in order to present to members more targeted advertising, products and services. In such situations we will never disclose information that will be used to personally identify you.

Inviting friends:

If you use our Invite feature to invite a friend to our websites, we will ask you for your friend's email address. We'll automatically send the friend an email inviting them to join our music network at www.muzic.com. We do not sell these email addresses or use them to transmit any communication other than the invitation and reminders to join our music network. The friend may contact us at privacy@muzic.com to request the removal of this information from our database.

Third party advertisers:

Our website may choose to deploy advertising on the service that is delivered to users through a third party's advertising server. Information about users' visits to muzic, such as number of times they have viewed an ad (but no personally identifiable information), would be used to serve ads to users on this site.

Security:

Our member accounts are secured by member-created passwords and we take precautions to insure that member account information is kept private. We use industry standard measures to protect member information, and we restrict access to member information to those employees who need access to perform their job functions. Please note that we cannot guarantee the security of member account information. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of member information at any time. If you have any questions about the security at our website, please contact us.

Changes in our privacy policy:

If we change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our website so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If we are going to use users' personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify users via email or by placing a prominent notice on our website.
