Our Privacy Policy has been updated and has an effective date of December 4, 2018.
This Privacy Policy describes our practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of information collected by Entertainment Industry Foundation, a California public benefit corporation, on behalf of its fund, She Is The Music, Inc. (“SITM”) through our web sites, applications, and other online services that post or include a link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Sites”). This Privacy Policy only covers information collected on the Sites and does not cover any information collected offline or at any other web site or elsewhere by SITM (unless specifically stated).
Please review this Privacy Policy carefully. In addition, please review the Terms of Use, which govern your use of the Sites.
We may ask you to provide personally identifiable information, which is information that identifies you as a specific identified individual, such as your name, phone number, or e-mail address, banking and other financial information (collectively, “Personal Information”), and other information about you, demographic information (for example, your gender, age or similar information). Certain features may also collect information about your preferences and interests. If we combine demographic, preference-related or similar information with the Personal Information we collect, we will treat that combined information as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy.
The Sites are not intended for use by anyone younger than the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children younger than age 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected Personal Information from a user who is younger than age 13, we will delete the information from our active databases.
We and third party advertising companies and service providers may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively collect certain information whenever you visit any Site or otherwise interact with us or our content (“Usage Information”). Usage Information may include the hardware model, browser, and operating system you are using, the URL or advertisement that referred you to the Site you are visiting, all of the areas within the Sites that you visit, your time zone, location information, and mobile network (if applicable), among other information. In addition, we automatically collect your IP address or other unique identifier (“Device Identifier”) for any computer, mobile phone or other device you use to access our Sites. In some cases, we may directly collect location information through your device. You may be able to turn off the collection of location information through the settings on your device. Usage Information is generally non-identifying, but if SITM associates it with you as a specific and identifiable person, SITM treats it as Personal Information.
The methods that may be used to collect Usage Information include the following:
Cookies and local storage are data files placed within a browser on a device when it is used to visit a Site. Certain web browsers and browser add-ons, such as Adobe Flash, may provide additional local data storage mechanisms. For example, a Flash cookie is a data file placed on a device via the Adobe Flash plugin. Cookies and local storage can be used for a variety of purposes, including to store a unique identifier for your device that recognizes your device as you visit the Sites or other web sites or online services and to remember your preferences. Additional information about how cookies are used by certain third party service providers is provided at Third-Party Advertising and Analytics Services.
You can prevent your browser from accepting certain cookies, have the browser require your consent before a new cookie is placed in your browser, or block cookies altogether by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser privacy preferences menu. The links below will help you find the settings for some common browsers (please note that we are not responsible for the content of external websites):
For all other browsers, or, for alternative advice, help may be sought by visiting www.allaboutcookies.org, or, via your device user manual, or, online help files.
For more information about Flash and the privacy choices Adobe offers, visit http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html. If you choose to disable cookies or to adjust your Flash privacy settings on your device, some features of a Site may not function properly.
Small graphic images or other web programming code called web beacons (also known as “1×1 GIFs” or “clear GIFs”), may be included in our web pages and e-mail messages. Web beacons or similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes, including, without limitation, to count visitors to a Site, to monitor how users navigate a Site, to count how many e-mails that were sent were actually opened or to count how many particular links were actually viewed.
An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with a Site, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your device from our server or a third-party service provider, is active only while you are connected to a Site, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.
In addition, we may use a variety of other technologies that collect similar information for security and fraud detection purposes.
SITM may receive information about you from third parties, including business partners and data providers. You may also have the opportunity to interact with a third party application or feature available through a Site, such as features that allow you to log-in through, access, or otherwise connect your account on a third party service (e.g., Facebook or Twitter). If you choose to utilize such a third party service, we will receive information about you from that third party service (which may include Personal Information) and they may receive information about your use of the Sites. Through these features, third parties may collect your IP address or other Device Identifier, which page you are visiting on a Site, and may set cookies to enable the third party feature to function properly. If you choose to post information to a third party platform, that information may be public.
We may combine the information we receive from those other sources with information we collect through the Sites. In those cases, we will apply this Privacy Policy to the combined information. The information collected and stored by the third party is subject solely to the third party’s privacy practices.
SITM may use information collected through the Sites, including Usage Information and Personal Information, to: (1) allow you to participate in features we offer or to provide related support services; (2) recognize you across the Sites and across devices; (3) tailor content recommendations and offers we display to you, both on the Sites and elsewhere online; (4) process your transactions (such as SITM donations); (5) investigate and prevent fraudulent transactions and other illegal activities or activities that violate our policies; (7) process your registration, including verifying your information is active and valid; (8) improve the Sites or our services and for internal business purposes; (9) contact you with regard to your use of the Sites or any SITM service and, in our discretion, changes to the Sites’ policies; and (10) for purposes disclosed at the time you provide your Personal Information or otherwise with your consent. We may also use and share non-personal information and we may use non-personal information, including information that has been de-identified (typically by using a mathematical process known as a “hash”), to make inferences about you and offers and content you may be interested in, to serve you with relevant advertising, and to allow others to do so.
SITM may share non-personally identifiable information, such as information that has been de-identified, aggregated user statistics with third parties.
We may share the information we have collected about you, including Personal Information, as disclosed at the time you provide your information or otherwise with your consent, and as described below or elsewhere in this Privacy Policy. We do not share your Personal Information with third parties for those third parties’ own direct marketing purposes.
We may share information when you request that we do so. For example, you may have the opportunity to participate in studies or other research programs related to SITM’s mission. If you agree at that time to have your Personal Information shared, your Personal Information will be disclosed to that third party (or parties) and will be subject to their privacy practices. Or, you may choose to interact with a third party application or feature, through which information about you is shared. Please note that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties. If you later decide that you no longer want to receive communications from a third party, you will need to contact that third party directly.
We may share information about you, including Personal Information, with third party vendors to enable them to perform services on our behalf. This may include service providers that operate or provide other technical support for the Site as well as process payment card transactions for donations to SITM.
We may offer sweepstakes, contests, and other promotions (any, a “Promotion”) that may require registration. If you choose to enter a Promotion, Personal Information may be disclosed to third parties or the public in connection with the administration of such Promotion, including, without limitation, as required by law or permitted by the Promotion’s official rules, such as on a winners list.
We may also transfer and disclose user information, including Personal Information, to third parties: (i) in the event we are required to respond to subpoenas or other legal process or if in our opinion such disclosure is required by law; (ii) at the request of governmental authorities conducting an investigation; or (iii) to protect and/or defend the Terms of Use or other policies applicable to a Site or our services or to protect the personal safety, rights, property or security of SITM, our users, or a third party. We may also use Device Identifiers, including IP addresses, to identify users, and may do so in cooperation with copyright owners, Internet service providers, wireless service providers or law enforcement agencies in our discretion.
SITM may share Personal Information with its parent, or its subsidiaries and affiliates, primarily for operational purposes. SITM reserves the right to disclose and transfer all information related to the Sites, including Personal Information: (i) to a subsequent owner, co-owner or operator of a Site or applicable database; or (ii) in connection with a merger, consolidation, restructuring, bankruptcy, the sale of certain of SITM’s ownership interests, assets, or both, or other organizational change, including, without limitation, during the course of any due diligence process.
SITM works with network advertisers, ad agencies and other advertising partners to serve SITM ads online. We also use analytics providers to provide us with information regarding the use of the Sites and the effectiveness of our advertisements. These third parties may set and access their own tracking technologies on your device (including cookies and web beacons), and they may otherwise collect or have access to information about you, including Usage Information. Some of these parties may collect Personal Information over time when you visit the Sites or other online websites and services. We may share non-personal information, including information that has been de-identified, and Usage Information, with third party advertising companies, analytics providers and other third parties.
We may use a variety of companies to serve our advertisements. Some of these companies are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) or the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising and you may want to visit the following webpages, which provide “opt-out” mechanisms for participating companies: http://networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp; http://www.aboutads.info/choices/.
We may use Google Analytics, which uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about use of the Sites and report on activities and trends. This service may also collect information regarding the use of other websites, apps, and online resources. You can learn about Google’s practices by going to www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/ and opt out of them by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Please note opting out through these mechanisms does not opt you out of being served advertising. You will continue to receive non-targeted ads while online or on you Device.
Note that your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to websites and online services you visit. Like many websites and online services, the Sites do not alter their practices when they receive a “Do Not Track” from a visitor’s browser. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” please visit www.allaboutdnt.com.
You are responsible for maintaining the accuracy of the information you submit to us, such as your contact information provided as part of registration. Certain Sites allow you to update certain Personal Information you have provided. Note that when you modify your Personal Information or change your preferences on a Site, information that you remove may persist internally for SITM’s administrative purposes or within backup media. If you have made any public postings on a Site, these communications cannot generally be removed.
The Sites may contain content that is served by someone else or links to third party content or web sites that SITM does not control. This includes links from sponsors and partners that may use our logo(s) as part of a co-branding relationship. You may also be able to access the Sites through third party devices and platforms, such as a set-top box, Internet-connected TV, or similar device. The third party operators and content providers may send their own cookies to your device, they may independently collect data or solicit Personal Information, and may have their own published privacy policies. SITM is not responsible for the privacy practices employed by any third party.
SITM takes commercially reasonable steps to protect and secure Personal Information. However, no data transmission over the Internet, by wireless transmission or any electronic storage of information can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Please note that we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information we collect, and you use the Sites and our services and provide us with your information at your own risk.
SITM is based in the United States and the information we collect is governed by United States law. By accessing or using the Sites or providing us with any information, you consent to the transfer, processing and storage of your information in and to the United States and other countries, jurisdictions in which the privacy laws may not be as comprehensive as those in the country where you reside and/or are a citizen.
SITM reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time without prior notice and will notify you of material changes by posting the changed or modified Privacy Policy on the Sites. We may also provide notice to you in other ways in our discretion, such as through contact information you have provided. Any changes will be effective immediately upon the posting of the revised Privacy Policy unless otherwise specified and your continued use of any of the Sites after the effective date of the revised Privacy Policy will constitute your consent to those changes. However, SITM will not make material changes to how it treats previously collected Personal Information about you without providing notice and giving you the chance to consent (opt-in or opt-out). Note, however, that you may need to consent to our new policies in order to continue to use the Sites and our services.
