Privacy Policy
This website is owned and operated by Music Allies. Music Allies has created this Privacy Policy (“Policy”) in order to demonstrate and inform you, the user, of our firm commitment to privacy. This Policy describes how we collect, protect and use information we receive from visitors to this Site.
Music Allies works on behalf of concert festivals, record labels and artists to promote their music or event. Music Allies collects personal information when you enter one of our Music Allies sponsored contests or promotions.
Your Personal Information
The personal information that we collect varies depending on promotion or contest you enter. We may need more information for contest entries versus other type of inquiries. When you enter a contest or other promotional feature, we may ask for your name, address and e-mail address so we can administer the contest and notify winners. If you have not opted out of receiving marketing materials, we may also use the information we collect to occasionally notify you about important functionality changes to the website, new Music Allies services, contest and promotions we think you'll find valuable.
In addition, we may record information automatically such as your IP address, your browser, cookie information and the pages you continue on to. An IP address is a unique string of numbers that is assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer our Site, avoid hacking attacks on the Music Allies server and may use it to gather broad demographic information.
You can choose not to allow us to use your personal information for direct marketing purposes by indicating your preference at the time of collection or by responding to the promotional e-mail in the manner provided. In certain circumstances, consent may be sought after the information has been collected but before use (for example, when we want to use information for a purpose not previously identified).
Our Use of the Information You Provide
Anonymous Information: Music Allies uses anonymous information gathered from our site internally for administration, troubleshooting and to help improve the quality of our website and services. We may share such aggregated, non-personally identifiable information, such as demographics, to (a) provide Music Allies with a better understanding of how users use the our website and the various features, (b) help Music Allies to create and provide new services and offerings to users and (c) market aggregate, anonymous data with existing and prospective business partners and advertisers. We never connect aggregate information with personally identifiable information, and none of the aggregate information we share will contain any information that identifies you individually.
Music Allies will not sell or lease any personally identifiable information about you to any unaffiliated third party for any purpose without your permission. Personally identifiable information collected by Music Allies may be used for purposes including administration of our service, nd maintaining communications with you. From time to time, our advertising and promotional partners may desire to use your registration and other information to call to your attention to promotions and offers they believe might interest you. If you prefer not to receive direct communications sent by our advertisers or promotional partners, you will be given an opportunity to decline before you provide us any information we might use for this purpose. If you decline at the time you provide us with information, you will not receive email or other communications sent directly by our advertisers utilizing information collected from our website, though we may on occasion send you information on their behalf.
Other instances in which we may need to disclose personal information include:
1. When required by law to comply with a judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on us.
2. To enforce our policies or agreements including the collection of amounts owed to us.
3. To protect users of our site(s) and our site(s) from fraudulent or abusive use.
We also reserve the right to disclose or transfer personal information to a third party in the event of a proposed or actual purchase, sale, lease, merger or any other type of acquisition, disposal or financing of all or any portion of Music Allies.
COPPA
Protecting the privacy of children is very important to us. The Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”) defines a “Child” as anyone under the age of 13. Music Allies strictly adheres to COPPA. For that reason, we do not collect or maintain information obtained through our Site from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our Site is structured to attract anyone under 13. You can visit http://www.ftc.gov/privacy/privacyinitiatives/childrens.html for information from the Federal Trade Commission about protecting children’s privacy.
We currently do not have a process where you can review the personal information that we have on file. However, if you have a change in personal information and would like to update our information, please contact the appropriate department, if known, or email us at pivacy (at) musicallies.com or by snail mail at
