COOLJAPANMUSIC PRIVACY POLICY

 

CoolJapanMusic (Company) is committed to protecting your privacy. Company’s Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how Company collects and utilizes the personal information you provide when you use its products and services.

By using Karaoke Ma’star iPhone App, opening an account or signing up for a membership with Company, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

 

WHY DOES COMPANY COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION?

 

Company generally collects personal information to improve its products and services, communicate with you and provide timely customer service when needed, customize advertising and other content you see, fulfill your requests for products and services, conduct research, and provide anonymous reporting for internal and external clients.

Company doesn’t rent or sell any of your personally-identifiable information to third parties, and won’t share it with third parties without your consent, unless it’s necessary to do so by law or for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

 

WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DOES COMPANY COLLECT?

 

When you open an account or sign up for an online membership with Company, you may be required to submit certain information, such as your name, your age, your email address, location information, and demographic information. Company also receives and stores any information that you knowingly choose to disclose and enter on any of its websites or otherwise give to Company. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of Company’s products and services and/or some of their features.

 

HOW DOES COMPANY USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

 

Company uses your personal information to:

Deliver to and bill you for Company’s products and services, and communicate with you concerning your account;

 

Verify access rights to premium content;

 

Improve our products and services by, for instance, providing you with personalized content recommendations, language and location customization, and personalized help and instructions;

 

Determine if you meet the minimum requirements or eligibility to use our products and services;

 

Track your location and content streams and downloads for the purpose of paying royalties to third party content providers, such as music publishers and music rights holders;

 

Offer you product upgrades, or other content and services;

 

Provide you with news, free newsletters, updates, targeted advertising, promotions, and special offers; and

 

Better understand how Company’s products and services are used, including what types of content are most popular with users of our products and services.

 

Some of the personal information collected by Company is necessary to provide you with the Company product or service you choose and to optimize the delivery of Karaoke Ma’star iPhone App. Company’s software may include the opportunity to disable certain software features to increase your level of privacy. However, certain technical information (e.g., zip code, product id) may be automatically transmitted between networked servers to authenticate access to products and services, enable their delivery, or optimize your media delivery experience.

 

WHEN AND HOW DOES COMPANY SHARE YOUR INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES?

 

In some cases, access to certain products and services, such as content subscription products or products distributed by third parties, may require the provision of personal information to a third party, such as a content provider or distributor. The third party’s use of such information is governed by that party’s privacy policy, and Company’s use is governed by this Privacy Policy. Please visit the privacy policy of such third party to make sure you understand how they use the personal information you provide to them. Additionally, Company may be required to provide specific access and usage information to certain content providers and rights holders as a condition of content licensing and royalties. In such cases, Company may provide content usage, access, demographic and other information without your personally identifiable information to the content provider.

Company works closely with affiliated businesses. In some cases, Company operates digital stores, provides services, or sells products jointly with these businesses (i.e. co-branded and joint offerings).  Company also shares customer information related to those transactions with these third parties.

Company may disclose information about its customers to its contractors or service providers to better serve its customers. Specifically, Company may use third parties to facilitate its business, such as to host the services or products at a co-location facility for servers, to send out email updates about Company, to process payments for products or services, to provide search results or links, or to provide customer service. In connection with these offerings and business operations, Company’s service providers may have access to your personal information for use for a limited time in connection with these business activities. Where Company utilizes third parties for the processing of any personal information, Company implements reasonable contractual and technical protections in order for such third parties to keep all personal information they process strictly confidential.

Company may also disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform with the law; (b) comply with the order of a competent judicial authority in any jurisdiction; (c) comply with legal process served on Company; (d) protect and defend the rights or property of Company; (e) enforce or verify your compliance with any part of the agreements that you enter into with Company; (f) prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through Company’s services and/or websites; or (g) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Company’s products or services or the public at large.

 

LINKS

 

Company’s websites may contain links to other websites. Company is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites. Please read the privacy policies of these third party websites that collect personally identifiable information in order to understand their privacy policies and data collection practices. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by Company.

EMAIL FROM COMPANY

 

Registering for a product or service allows you to tell Company how or whether you want Company to communicate with you. Generally, Company sends email to you about its products, services, content and special offers. Separate Company products, services and lines of business may send separate newsletters and marketing emails. When signing up for membership, you may opt out of receiving Company marketing emails and/or newsletters for the relevant product or service. Additionally, your online Company account enables you to select whether you wish to receive newsletters, marketing and promotional emails, special offers and the like from various Company’s business lines. However, Company may continue to send you email about products or services you have previously purchased (such as an available upgrade that you are entitled to receive), your account status or other information concerning functions, features and status of your Company products and services, or to inform you about critical technical service issues relating to a Company product or service.

HOW TO ACCESS AND UPDATE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

 

To access your account information and preferences, log in to your account and modify your information and preferences as needed. When you access your account by logging in, you can update and/or make sure that your account information is accurate. You can also manage your preferences concerning receipt of newsletters and promotional emails.

With respect to The Karaoke Ma’star iPhone App, Company understands that you may not want everyone in the world to have the information you share on such App. That is why the privacy settings of your account may limit the information displayed in your profile and the sharing of such information and of your personalized renditions of sound recordings.

 

SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Some of Company’s products and services allow you to post, display, upload and share information, materials or other content. You post and share this content on Company’s App at your own risk. Although Company allows you to set privacy options that limit access to such content, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.
