Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") constitutes the agreement between you and OUTmusic regarding your provision, and our collection and use, of contact and other information you may provide while using our Site. In this Privacy Policy, the words "you" and "your" refer to any person accessing the Site, and the words "we," "us," and "our" refer to OUTmusic.
By using our Site, you consent to this Privacy Policy.

 
This Privacy Policy only applies to information you provide to us online while visiting or using our Site. It does not apply to information we have obtained offline or through other traditional means. Information you may provide in visiting or using our Site falls into two broad categories: personally identifiable information, and aggregate information. "Personally Identifiable Information" is information that can be used to identify or contact you, such as your name, phone number, email address, or mailing address. "Aggregate Information" is information that does not identify you, and may include, for example, statistical information concerning the web pages on our Site that users most frequent. Our Privacy Policy governs both categories of information, as detailed below.
 
We allow you to decide whether you wish to provide us with Personally Identifiable Information. Accordingly, we have structured our Web Site so that you may visit our Site, and review a range of information about artists and musicians other materials relating to the music industry, without revealing your identity or providing any Personally Identifying Information.

One of our goals in creating this Web Site, however, is to enable artists and musicians to post information about themselves and their music and to enable music promoters and other music professionals in and outside of the GBLT community to access such postings and book appearances. Therefore, in order to post any such information and book appearances, and in order to access certain other materials or information from our Site, we ask that you register and provide us with contact and other information, as provided below.

To post information on our Site, and to obtain access to certain other materials or information from our Site, we ask that you become a registered user. Our registration forms will specify the information which you must provide in order to enjoy the particular feature, and the information which you may, at your option, choose to provide or withhold. Our obligations concerning, and permitted uses of, any Personally Identifiable Information that you provide during the registration process are set out below.

As indicated above, you may use our Site without registering or submitting any information to us. In that case, the only information we collect from your visit will be Aggregate Information that does not identify you in any way. Our obligations concerning, and permitted uses of, Aggregate Information are also set out below.

If you choose to participate in surveys or questionnaires which from time to time we may post on the Site, we may ask that, in addition to providing your responses, you also provide contact and other Personally Identifiable Information. If we link, or combine in any way your responses with your Personally Identifiable Information, we will treat the combined information as Personally Identifiable Information under our Privacy Policy, as provided below. If we separate your responses from, and they are independent of any Personally Identifiable Information, such that a third party reviewing your responses would be unable to link the responses to you or your practice, the responses will be treated as Aggregate Information under our Privacy Policy, again as provided below.

From time to time, you may wish to provide us with comments and feedback concerning our Site generally. By communicating with us for these purposes, you may provide us with your email address and other Personally Identifiable Information. We will handle such information that you provide in this manner in accordance with our Privacy Policy for Personally Identifiable Information, set out below.

When you browse our Site, the choices you make may provide information concerning your interests and concerning the appeal and efficacy of associated Site features. For example, if you spend time browsing information on events taking place in Georgia and Florida, this suggests that you may have an interest in events in the Southeast generally. If a number of visitors spend time browsing information on events taking place in Georgia and Florida, this may suggest that we have designed this portion of our Site effectively.

To measure our visitors' interest in and use of various areas of our Site, and for other purposes set out below, we collect Aggregate Information -- which is information that does not identify you. Aggregate Information obtained through cookies, for example, allows us to monitor how many users are visiting our Site, and what areas of the Site present the most interest to our users. We are able then to use this information to improve the functionality and interest of Site. We also use Aggregate Information to prepare statistical and other summary analyses of our users' behavior and characteristics.

We may share Aggregate Information, and reports based on this Information, with third parties unrelated to the Site. Rest assured, however, that no such Aggregate Information that we provide to third parties will allow anyone to identify you, or determine anything personal about you. For example, we might report to unrelated third parties (a) the number of users of our Site; (b) the materials our users review while at our Site; or (c) the fact that "45% of our users live on the East Coast." We may charge third parties for this information, and we may or may not limit the third parties' use of this information. We do not allow third parties to attempt to make Aggregate Information personally identifiable by, for example, seeking to combine it with other information.

To advance the goals of our Site, we may link (a) the Personally Identifiable Information you have provided; with (b) Aggregate Information concerning (for example) your interests and preferences, as collected through our cookies. Linking this information will allow us to create information packages and services that are better tailored to your interests and preferences. Among other effects, linking this information may allow us generally to improve and focus our Site. If we combine or link any information with your Personally Identifiable Information, the resulting combination will be treated as Personally Identifiable Information under this Privacy Policy. Accordingly, please be aware that in such instances, personal information about you may be made generally available on the Site in connection with postings you may request we make on the Site, as set forth above.

We have put in place security systems designed to prevent unauthorized disclosure of information you provide to us. These systems are structured to deter and prevent hackers and others from accessing this information. Due to the nature of Internet communications and evolving technologies, however, we cannot provide, and disclaim, assurance that the information you provide us will remain free from loss, misuse, or alteration by third parties who, despite our efforts, obtain unauthorized access.


We allow you at any time to update, correct, or delete Personally Identifiable Information you have provided us. After submitting your registration information, you can view and modify this information within the "Edit Profile" page of the Site.

If you request, we will remove your name and other Personally Identifiable Information from our databases. Please understand, however, that it may be impossible to remove this information completely, due to backups and records of deletions. If you wish to remove your name and other Personally Identifiable Information from our database, please contact us.

Because Aggregate Information does not personally identify our users, we do not provide our users with access to Aggregate Information, and users may not update, revise, or delete any Aggregate Information.


Our Site is not directed at children, and we will not accept or request personal information from individuals we know to be under 18. If we learn that a child under 18 has provided us with Personally Identifiable Information, we will delete this information from our databases, in accordance with our deletion policy, set out above.

If we include a "chat" or "forum" feature to the Site, you may decide to participate in an online discussion. Please keep in mind that any information you provide while participating in an online chat or forum will be available to all participants. These participants, and their transferees, may use Personally Identifiable Information and other information you disclose in this manner, to contact you and for other purposes. Accordingly, if we choose to provide such features at the Site, we ask that you participate prudently, as this Privacy Policy will not cover the information you disclose in online discussions at our Site.

To give you access to other information relating to the music industry, from time to time we may include on the Web Site certain links to other sites. We provide these links as a convenience, and we do not endorse the content or services offered by, or the privacy policies in place at, these other sites.

Our Privacy Policy covers only information we collect at the Site, and other sites to which we link may have privacy policies that differ considerably from our Privacy Policy. We have structured our Site to make it reasonably clear when you leave our Web Site and enter another web site. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of each site you visit through our links to ensure you are comfortable with these policies. We are not responsible for the conduct or policies of these third parties.

There are two exceptions to our Privacy Policy. First, we may disclose Personally Identifiable Information as may be required in legal proceedings, or in response to a subpoena, court order, or administrative order compelling disclosure. Second, in cases involving a threat of imminent harm to you or others, we may release such information to prevent or mitigate the threat. In any such case, we will seek to limit the scope of disclosure, and will disclose only such information as is reasonably required to fulfill the purpose of the disclosure.

From time to time we may revise our Privacy Policy. We will post these changes here, in our Privacy Policy. Your use of our Site following any such change constitutes your agreement to follow and be bound by the Privacy Policy, as changed.

In addition to this Privacy Policy, your use of our Site is also subject to our Terms and Conditions of Use (our "Terms of Use").
