TONESCENT RECORDS WEBSITE PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: January 26, 2011
Your privacy is very important to us and that is why we want you to be informed about how we protect your privacy on this site. This policy describes how we collect and use personally identifiable information (PII) on this site. Third party sites that are linked to our site are not under TonEscent Record’s control and we are not responsible for the privacy practices or contents of any such linked site. These links are provided as a convenience. Please read the privacy policy notices on those sites for details.
We do not collect PII about you on this site without your knowledge, and all such information is collected directly from you. For example, we may ask you to provide your email address, name, and mailing address or other information about you in order to participate in contests or the blog (Community section). You are not required to provide us with this information. We use the information we collect from you to allow you to participate in such site activities for which the information is collected.
PII collected on this site will not be shared with third parties without your approval (e.g. “Opt-in”). To the extent required or permitted by law, we may collect, use and disclose PII in connection with security-related or law enforcement investigations or in the course of cooperating with authorities or complying with legal requirements to protect our rights or property, our website, or its users.
Some information may automatically be collected as you browse our site. Our web server automatically collects information known as “clickstream data,” such as the domain name of the service providing you with Internet access, the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet, your browser type and version, operating system and platform, the average time spent on our site, pages viewed, information searched for, access times and other relevant statistics. We also may use cookies or web beacons on our site. Cookies are pieces of information that a web site transfers to the hard drive of a visitor’s computer for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies to tell us, for example, whether you’ve visited us before or if you’re a new visitor and to help us understand what areas of the website are of greatest interest to you. Cookies also may enhance your online experience by saving your preferences and password so you do not have to re-enter this information each time you visit our website. Certain pages on our site may contain “web beacons” (also known as Internet tags, pixel tags or clear GIFs). Web beacons may allow third parties to obtain non-personally identifiable information such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the beacon appears, the URL of the page on which the beacon appears, the time the page containing the beacon was viewed, the type of browser used to view the page, and the information in cookies set by the third party. We use log files to store the data that is collected through web beacons.
We use clickstream data, web beacons and cookies only in the aggregate to measure the use of our site and to administer and improve our site. Any sharing of such data with unrelated third parties is on an anonymous basis. When we collect PII, we may extract some of the information, such as demographic information and combine it with other information, such as clickstream data. This combined information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate level to help us or third parties understand trends and patterns.
We try to keep the information we collect from you as current as possible, and we take reasonable steps to maintain the security of your personal information and to prevent unauthorized access to it. It is our policy not to post your email address or other identifying information you have provided on our site without your consent. Your consent is assumed if you post such information to a publicly viewable interactive site application such as the blog.
If you are under 13 years of age, you should not provide any PII on this site without the knowledge and permission of your parent or guardian.
We ask each visitor who wishes to participate in the blog on this site to provide an email address along with the visitor’s screen name to access these functions. Except for the uses described in the paragraphs above, all such email addresses are used only to protect the security and integrity of the site, such as to take action against visitors who post inappropriate material or harass other visitors. You are responsible and are deemed to have consented to disclosure if you post your email address or other identifying information to a publicly viewable interactive site application such as the blog. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE USE OF ANY PII YOU VOLUNTARILY DISCLOSE THROUGH THE SITE.
We reserve the right to transfer any information we have about you in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets, or in the event of insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership.
The operator of this site is TonEscent Records. Email webmaster@ariesroad.com for any questions or concerns.
By using our site you consent to our collection and use of your PII as described in this policy. We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement and related business practices at any time by posting updated text on this site, and your continued use constitutes acceptance of those changes. Thank you for visiting our site and for taking the time to read this policy.
