Privacy Statement
SoundClick is committed to protecting your privacy
online. We are also committed to providing you with the very best experience
we can on our Web site. In order to enhance your experience at our site we gather
certain personal information about you that helps us customize our content to
your tastes and preferences. Please read the following policy to understand
how your personal information will be treated as you make full use of our Web
site. This policy may change from time to time so please check back periodically.
What information do we collect?
SoundClick collects information in several ways from different parts of our
Web site.
SoundClick collects some personal information when
you initially sign up for some of our free services. We may ask for your name,
e-mail address, zip code, and country. The more information you share with us
(and the more accurate it is), the better we are able to enhance and customize
your experience on our site.
In addition to the former information, we may ask
you for personal information at other times, including (but not limited to)
when you make a purchase through our online store, when you enter promotions
or contests and when you respond to a survey. For example, when you make a purchase
through our online store, we collect several items of personal information,
including your billing and shipping address, telephone number, credit card information,
and any other information necessary to complete the transaction. For your security, we
never store credit card information on our servers. We transmit credit card information
directly to the third party credit card processor through secure connections.
Wherever SoundClick collects personal information,
we make an effort to include a link to this Privacy Policy on that page.
What information do parties other than SoundClick collect?
Some advertisers or Web sites that have links
on our site may collect personally identifiable information about you when you
access or utilize those links. SoundClick does not control the collection or
use of such information, and the practices of those advertisers and Web sites
are not covered by this Privacy Policy.
This site uses FastClick as advertising network. Fastclick strongly believes in a
consumer's right to privacy. Fastclick does not engage in the collection, distribution,
sale or use of personally identifiable information about Web Users, such as email address,
name, phone number and street address. All web user data collected by Fastclick as part of
the ad serving process is not personally identifiable (browser type, for example) and is used
in aggregate form. Fastclick does not conduct individual web user "profiling".
