This Privacy Policy also describes your choices and rights with respect to your personal information.

User persona data, such as basic demographic information as well as how you identify as a music producer, audio engineer, etc., the types of projects you work on, and other information about how you may prefer to use the Services, which may be provided through surveying or deduced through the Services.

Other data not specifically listed here, which we will use as described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise disclosed at the time of collection.

Third-party sources. We may collect personal information about you from other sources.  These sources may include:

Online activity, such as pages, screens, or features on the Sites or Services you viewed, how long you spent on a page, screen, or feature, access times, and duration of access, information about your activity on a page, screen, or feature, navigation paths between pages, screens, or features, the website you visited before browsing our Sites, or whether you have opened our marketing emails or clicked links within them.

Cookies. Some of our automatic data collection is facilitated by cookies and similar technologies.  For more information, see our Cookie Notice.

How we use your personal information

We use your personal information for the following purposes or as otherwise described at the time of collection:

Service delivery. We use your personal information to:

provide, operate, and improve the Sites, Services, and our business;

establish and maintain your account and user profile on the Sites and Services;

communicate with you about the Services, including by sending announcements, updates, security alerts, and support and administrative messages;

understand your needs and interests, and personalize your experience with the Services and our communications; and

provide support for the Services, and respond to your requests, questions, and feedback.

Marketing and advertising. We, our service providers, and our third-party advertising partners may collect and use your personal information for the following marketing and advertising purposes:

Direct marketing. We may customize and send you direct marketing communications, such as newsletters, loyalty offers, and raffle opportunities, as permitted by law.  You may opt-out of our marketing communications as described in the Opt-out of marketing communications section below.  

Compliance and protection. We may use your personal information to:

comply with applicable laws, lawful requests, and legal process, such as to respond to subpoenas or requests from government authorities;

protect our, your or others’ rights, privacy, safety, or property (including by making and defending legal claims); 

audit our internal processes for compliance with legal and contractual requirements and internal policies; 

enforce the terms and conditions that govern the Sites and Services; and 

prevent, identify, investigate, and deter fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized, unethical, or illegal activity, including cyberattacks and identity theft.  

Retention. We retain personal information where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a product or service you have requested; to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements; to establish or defend legal claims; or for fraud prevention). Whether the retention period is sufficient to fulfill such purposes is the primary criteria for determining the duration of the retention period. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Declining to provide information. We need to collect personal information to provide certain Services.  If you do not provide the information we identify as required or mandatory, we may not be able to provide those Services.

Other sites and services

The Sites and Services may contain links to websites, mobile applications, resources, and other online services operated by third parties. In addition, our content may be integrated into web pages or other online services that are not associated with us. These links and integrations are not an endorsement of, or representation that we are affiliated with, any third party. Stefano Daino has no control over these websites, mobile applications, or online services operated by third parties, and is not responsible for their content or their security and privacy practices. We advise you to read the privacy policies of those websites, mobile applications, and other online services thoroughly, so that you are aware of the manner in which they will use your personal information.

Security

We employ a number of technical, organizational and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we collect.  However, security risk is inherent in all Internet and information technologies, and, as such, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.

International Data Transfer

We are headquartered in Italy, and we may use service providers that operate in Italy and in other countries. Your personal information may be transferred to Italy, the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, or other locations where privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your state, province, or country. We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law.

Children

The Sites and Services are not intended for use by children under 16 years of age. If we learn that we have collected personal information through the Sites and Services from a child under 16 without the consent of the child’s parent or guardian, as required by law, we will delete it.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by updating the date of this Privacy Policy and posting it on the Sites and Services. If required by law, we will also provide notification of changes in another way that we believe is reasonably likely to reach you, such as via email or another manner through the Sites and Services.  Any modifications to this Privacy Policy will be effective upon our posting the modified version (or as otherwise indicated at the time of posting). In all cases, your use of the Sites and Services after the effective date of any modified Privacy Policy indicates your acceptance of the modified Privacy Policy.
