Privacy Policy
Effective Jan, 2005
www.Behindwoods.com
welcomes you. We value your privacy, and want
you to know what information we collect and what
we do with it.
From time to time, we may make changes to this
Policy. We will endeavor to post the changes before
they become effective. The effective date of the
most recent version of the privacy policy will
appear at the top of this page. This consumer
privacy policy applies to any information we collect
or receive about you, from any source.
Information Collected by Behindwoods.com
Behindwoods.com have several areas where members
can submit information to us, and we also have
features that automatically collect information
from our members and other users.
Information Provided to Behindwoods.com
Behindwoods.com features certain areas where we
ask you to provide information to us.
Registration:
You may register with us to use some of our member
only features on our site. We may also offer the
option for you to register with us or sign up
for our mailing list without having to use any
other product or service. During registration,
you provide your "contact information"
(which identifies you and how we can contact you,
such as your name and email address) as well as
certain demographic information (which describes
certain information about you, such as your country
of residence). You may be asked to enter an e-mail
address and password. We may also ask you to provide
additional information about your music preferences,
so that we can cater to those preferences.
Communications from Us and Mailing Lists:
In order to keep our members informed about the
operation of our services, we will send e-mails
and announcements that are needed for the proper
functioning and administration of our site and
subscription service. For additional information
about our site, services and offers, we give our
members the option of joining our mailing list.
We also allow you to choose whether to receive
mails from partners and sponsors that we think
will be of interest to you. Each marketing e-mail
from us will come with instructions on how to
unsubscribe from our mailing list.
Communications with Us:
We have features where you can submit information
to us (such as when contacting us with a question
or problem related to the service). We will retain
your emails and other information you submit to
us for our internal purposes, and to help us to
serve you better.
Interactive Features:
We also may offer interactive features, such as
message boards, chat rooms, etc. Note that all
personal information you send or post via such
features becomes public information, and we are
not responsible for any information you choose
to make public (including any online identifier,
such as an email address, instant messenger name
or member name). We may store such information
in an aggregate form but we will not file or retain
such information on a personal basis. We may monitor
such traffic via electronic software or personnel
but only to check for obscenity, defamation or
other types of abusive language, which we reserve
the right to remove at any time.
Surveys:
We may occasionally ask members to participate
in surveys. Such surveys will be voluntary. They
are intended to improve your member experience
and any information you provide we may associate
with your member name for future use. Any personal
information collected will be used only by us
unless we specify otherwise, although we may share
aggregate survey result information with others.
Automatic
Data Collection:
Cookies:
We use a software technology called "cookies"
for several purposes, depending on the type of
cookie employed. Within Behindwoods.com, we use
what are commonly called "session" cookies,
meaning that they only last as long as you are
online. We use these cookies to identify you as
a valid subscriber so that we can deliver music
to you, to ensure that no one else can sign on
simultaneously with your account from another
computer and to help us personalize your service
experience based on your registration preferences
(such as genre). We may also use session cookies
to help us facilitate any promotions or surveys
that we provide. As part of the sign-in process,
we may also use what are commonly called "persistent"
cookies which stay with you after your session
is over and you are offline. We only use these
cookies in connection with a sign-in feature that
allows you to save your member name and password
so that the next time you sign in, these fields
will be pre populated for you. This cookie is
only offered in conjunction with certain Affiliate
Sites that choose to make it available and it
can only be activated if you select that option
during your sign-in. If you select this option
you can always deselect it each time you sign-in.
Others:
In order to personalize our service for your enjoyment
and to monitor and improve the performance of
our technology, we do collect/capture other data
such as a member's searches (such as their search
criteria and results). For our internal purposes,
we gather information such as date, time, connection
speed and IP address of all visitors to our site.
We keep this information simply for our internal
security audit log, trend analysis, and system
administration.
Third Party Advertising & Third Party
Cookies:
In the course of serving advertisements to this
site, our third-party advertiser may place or
recognize a unique "cookie" on your
browser.
With whom we share your information:
We do not share your personally identifiable information
with other companies, apart from those acting
as our agents in providing our service to you,
all of which agree to use it only for that purpose
and to keep the information secure and confidential.
Also, entities into which our company is merged,
or to which our assets, site or operations have
been transferred, will be able to use your personal
information under the terms of this privacy policy.
We will also disclose information we maintain
when required to do so by law, for example, in
response to a court order or a subpoena or other
legal obligation, in response to a law enforcement
agency's request, or in special cases when we
have reason to believe that disclosing this information
is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal
action against someone who may be causing injury
to or interference with (either intentionally
or unintentionally) our rights or property. You
should also be aware that courts of equity, such
as U.S. Bankruptcy Courts, may have the authority
under certain circumstances to permit your information
to be shared or transferred to third parties without
your permission. We may share (provide and receive)
with others certain aggregate service information,
which is not personally identifiable. This information
may include usage and demographic data, but it
will not include personal information (such as
your email address). We may use aggregate demographic
information about our audience in order to improve
our service, for marketing purposes and/or industry
reporting purposes.
Links:
We may display links to other sites within Behindwoods.com.
We are not responsible for those other sites,
their privacy policies or how they treat information
about their members. We advise you to check their
privacy policies to find out how they are treating
your personal information.
Downloads:
We do link to other web sites which might support
downloads. We are not responsible for the downloadable
materials that are present in these websites.
We are also not responsible for the legalities
and privacy policy binding the downloadable materials
of these websites. We are also not responsible
for the legalities and privacy policy binding
these downloads in the websites that our visitors
refer to in our forums and discussions. Downloads
referred to in this privacy policy can be videos,
images, software, games and any application files.
