If you choose to include personal information within those functionalities, we will not be able to limit the collection and use of that information by other users.

Information automatically collected

We may automatically log information about you and your computer or mobile device when you access our Service. For example, we may log your computer or mobile device operating system name and version, manufacturer and model, device identifier, IP address, browser type, screen resolution, the website you visited before browsing to our Website, pages you viewed, search queries, browsing behavior, advertisement performance metrics (clicks, impressions), including in connection with your interaction with our advertisements on third-party websites, how long you spent on a page, access times, time zone, general location information such as city, state or geographic area, postcode, and information about your use of and actions on our Service.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

What are cookies?

We may collect information using “cookies.” Cookies are small data files stored on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device by a website. We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer or mobile device until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our Service.

We use two broad categories of cookies: (1) first party cookies, served directly by us to your computer or mobile device, which we use to recognize your computer or mobile device when it revisits our Service; and (2) third party cookies, which are served by service providers on our Service, and can be used by such service providers to recognize your computer or mobile device when it visits other websites.

Cookies we use

Our Service uses the following types of cookies for the purposes set out below:

Type of cookie

Purpose

Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our Service and to enable you to use some of its features. Without these cookies, the services that you have asked for cannot be provided, and we only use these cookies to provide you with those services.

Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow our Service to remember choices you make when you use our Service. The purpose of these cookies is to provide you with a more personal experience and to avoid you having to re-select your preferences every time you visit our Service.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies are used to collect information about traffic to our Service and how users use our Service. The information gathered may include the number of visitors to our Service, the websites that referred them to our Service, the pages they visited on our Service, what time of day they visited our Service, whether they have visited our Service before, and other similar information. We use this information to help operate our Service more efficiently, to gather broad demographic information, monitor the level of activity on our Service, and improve the Service.

We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics uses its own cookies. You can find out more information about Google Analytics cookies here and about how Google protects your data here. You can prevent the use of Google Analytics relating to your use of our Service by downloading and installing the browser plugin available here.

Social Media Cookies

These cookies are used to allow you to share information using a social media sharing button or “like” button on our Service or you link your account or engage with our content on or through a social networking website such as Facebook or Twitter. The social network will record that you have done this. See the Other Sites and Services section of this Privacy Policy.

Targeted and advertising cookies

These cookies track your browsing habits to enable us to show advertising which is more likely to be of interest to you. These cookies use information about your browsing history to group you with other users who have similar interests. Based on that information, third-party advertisers can place cookies to enable them to show advertisements that we think will be relevant to your interests while you are on third-party websites.

‍

In addition to Google, as described above, the Service may use third-party service platforms (including to help analyze how users use the Service).  These third-party service platforms may place cookies on your computer or mobile device.  If you would like to disable "third-party" cookies, you may be able to turn them off by going to the third party's website.

Here are links to the main third-party platforms we use:

Online Tracking Opt-Out Guide

Like many companies online, we may use services provided by Google, Facebook and other companies that use tracking technology. These services rely on tracking technologies – such as cookies and pixel tags – to collect directly from your device information about your browsing activities, your interactions with websites, and the device you are using to connect to the Internet. Information collected from some cookies placed on the Service is used to deliver advertisements to Beatlibrary Service visitors when such visitors are visiting other websites, including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. There are a number of ways to opt out of having your online activity and device data collected through these services, which we have summarized below:

• Blocking cookies in your browser. Most browsers let you remove or reject cookies, including cookies used for interest-based advertising. To do this, follow the instructions in your browser settings. Many browsers accept cookies by default until you change your settings. For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org. Note: if you do not accept our cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of our Service. For example, we may not be able to recognize your computer or mobile device and you may need to log in every time you visit our Service.

• Blocking advertising ID use in your mobile settings. Your mobile device settings may provide functionality to limit use of the advertising ID associated with your mobile device for interest-based advertising purposes.

• Using privacy plug-ins or browsers. You can block our websites from setting cookies used for interest-based ads by using a browser with privacy features, like Brave, or installing browser plugins like Privacy Badger, Ghostery or uBlock Origin, and configuring them to block third-party cookies/trackers.

• Platform opt-outs. The following advertising partners offer opt-out features that let you opt-out of use of your information for interest-based advertising:

• Google: https://adssettings.google.com

• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/about/ads

• Outbrain: https://my.outbrain.com/recommendations-settings

• Advertising industry opt-out tools. You can also use these opt-out options to limit use of your information for interest-based advertising by participating companies:

• Digital advertising Alliance: https://optout.aboutads.info

• Network Advertising Initiative: https://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1

Note that because these opt-out mechanisms are specific to the device or browser on which they are exercised, you will need to opt-out on every browser and device that you use.

Pixel tags

We may also use pixel tags (which are also known as web beacons and clear GIFs) on our Service to track the actions of users on our Service. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device by a website, pixel tags are embedded invisibly on webpages. Pixel tags measure the success of our marketing campaigns and compile statistics about usage of the Service, so that we can manage our content more effectively.

Do Not Track signals

Some Internet browsers may be configured to send “Do Not Track” signals to the online services that you visit. We do not currently respond to do not track signals. However, if you wish to stop such tracking, please contact us with your request, using our contact details provided below. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” please visit https://allaboutdnt.com/.

You may also contact us at hello@beatlibrary.io to request to access, update or correct the personal information Beatlibrary maintains about you, or if you have additional requests or questions.

We will tell you what information you must provide to receive the Service by designating it as required in the Service or through other means.

‍

Security

We store personal information electronically with third-party hosting providers. We strive to hold all personal information we collect consistent with technical and organizational measures designed to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of personal information processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons.

The security of your personal information is important to us. We take a number of organizational, technical and physical measures designed to protect the personal information we collect, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no security safeguards are 100% secure and we cannot guarantee the security of your information.

Children

Our Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not collect personal information from any person we actually know is under the age of 13. In fact, as currently operated, persons under the age of 18 may not use the Service.  By providing information to Beatlibrary you represent that you are 18 years of age or older. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with information without their consent, he or she should contact us. We will delete such information from our files as soon as reasonably practicable.

Sensitive Personal Information

We ask that you not send us, and you not disclose, any sensitive personal information (e.g., social security numbers, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, biometrics or genetic characteristics, criminal background or trade union membership) on the Website, through the Service or otherwise to us.

If you send or disclose any sensitive personal information to us when you use the Service, you consent to our processing and use of such sensitive personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not consent to our processing and use of such sensitive personal information, you must not submit such sensitive personal information through our Service.

‍

International Transfers

Personal information collected on the Service may be transferred from time to time to our offices or personnel, or to third parties, located throughout the world, and the Service may be viewed and hosted anywhere in the world, including countries that may not have laws of general applicability regulating the use and transfer of such information. By using the Service and submitting such information on it, you voluntarily consent to the trans-border transfer and hosting of such information. Without limitation of the foregoing, you hereby expressly grant consent to Beatlibrary to: (a) process and disclose such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy; (b) transfer such information throughout the world, including to the United States or other countries that do not ensure adequate protection for personal information (as determined by the European Commission or the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, as applicable, each, an "Inadequate Jurisdiction") and/or countries that may not have laws of general applicability regulating the use and transfer of such information; and (c) disclose such information to comply with lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. To the extent required by applicable law: whenever we transfer your personal data (as defined in the European Data Protection Laws) to third parties (as described in this Privacy Policy) located in an Inadequate Jurisdiction, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it; we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission or the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, as applicable, which give personal data the same protection it has in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, as applicable, under the European Data Protection Laws; and if we rely on another basis to transfer your personal data to an Inadequate Jurisdiction, we will keep you updated or contact you if required. Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanisms used by us when transferring your personal data to an Inadequate Jurisdiction.

‍

International Transfers under the Australian Privacy Act

In addition, if the Australian Privacy Act applies, you consent to us disclosing your personal information to recipients referred to in this Privacy Policy located throughout the world. By providing this consent, you waive any rights that you might otherwise have to require that we take reasonable steps to ensure any such recipient complies with the Australian Privacy Principles specified in the Australian Privacy Act, including any rights that you might have arising under Australian Privacy Principle 8.1.  This will mean that if there is a breach of the Australian Privacy Principles by any overseas recipient, you will not have any recourse against us and you will not be able to seek redress under the Privacy Act.

‍

Other Sites and Services

The Website and/or Service may contain links to other websites and services. This may include providing you with the ability to automatically post updates on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.  These links are not an endorsement of such websites or services or any authorization or representation that we are affiliated with that third party. Additionally, we cannot guarantee the quality or accuracy of information presented on those websites. We do not exercise control over any third-party websites or services and are not responsible for their actions or privacy practices. Other websites and services follow different rules regarding the use or disclosure of the personal information you submit to them. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of the other websites you visit and services you use. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by us through the Service.

‍

User Generated Content and Public Areas

We may make available on our Website and/or Service features that allow you to generate your own content or share information online (e.g., on message boards, in connection with project collaboration, in chat areas, user profiles (but excluding password and unique user ID), in file uploads, etc.) (each, a “Public Area”). Please do not embed personal information in the content you generate or otherwise share personal information online in any Public Area. Whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online (including in any Public Area), that information becomes public and can be collected and used by others.

Please note in particular that all project collaborators can see the projects on which they are collaborating as well as their messages to each other. We have no control over, and take no responsibility for, the use, storage, dissemination or erasure of personal information embedded in user-generated content (including project files) or otherwise shared publicly (including in any Public Area). By posting personal information online in any Public Area, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties.

As indicated above, user profiles are part of the Public Areas of the Service.  All information in your user profile (but excluding password and unique user ID) is part of the Public Areas of the Service and available to the public, including to all users of the Service.  A user’s username, artist name, and photograph are available to the public, including to all users, when a user shares or posts information in the Public Areas (as defined below) of the Service. When prompted to create a username and photograph, we advise users not to use personal information – i.e., select a username that is not similar to a user’s actual name and select a photograph that does not display the user’s image – because such information can be publicly available to all users.

Any information you share in a Public Area (including personal information) is by design open to the public and is not private. You should think carefully before posting any information in any Public Area. What you post can be seen, disclosed to, or collected by others and may be used by others in ways we cannot regulate or predict. As with any public forum on any website, the information you post may also show up in third-party search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing.

‍

Third-Party Products and Services

The Service may integrate with or enable access to third-party tools. These integrations are not an endorsement of such third-party tools or any authorization or representation that we are affiliated with that third party. Additionally, we cannot guarantee the quality or accuracy of such third-party tools or the information presented thereon. End users that register, install or access any third-party tools may be required to accept privacy notices provided by those third parties.

Please review those notices carefully, as Beatlibrary does not control and cannot be responsible for these providers’ privacy or information security practices. We do not exercise control over any third-party tools and are not responsible for their actions or privacy practices. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by us through the Service.

‍

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, you will be notified via e-mail (if you have an account where we have your contact information) or another manner through the Service that we believe reasonably likely to reach you (which may include posting a new privacy policy on our Service – or a specific announcement on this page or on our blog).

Any modifications to this Privacy Policy will be effective upon our posting of the new terms and/or upon implementation of the new changes on the Service (or as otherwise indicated at the time of posting). In all cases, your continued use of the Service after the posting of any modified Privacy Policy indicates your acceptance of the terms of the modified Privacy Policy.

Notice to California Residents

This Section titled Notice to California Residents (this “CPRA Notice”) shall apply only to the extent that we are regulated as a business (as defined in the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (collectively with any regulations promulgated thereunder, the "CPRA")) under the CPRA. This CPRA Notice shall apply to you only if you are a California resident. 

If an Organization with which you are associated purchases any of our services, we may receive consumer information (as defined below) about you in connection with our provision of our services to your Organization. To the extent we process or access such consumer information solely in order to provide our services to your Organization or only for a business purpose (as defined in the CPRA) pursuant to a written contract with your Organization, under the CPRA, to the extent applicable, we will act as a service provider (as defined in the CPRA) or a contractor (as defined in the CPRA), as applicable, on behalf of your Organization in respect of that consumer information; this Privacy Policy will not apply to the processing of that consumer information and your Organization will act as a business (as defined in the CPRA) in respect of that consumer information. The business is responsible for obtaining all necessary consents and providing you with all requisite information as required by applicable law. To the extent we process your consumer information for any other lawful business or commercial purpose of ours that is outside the scope of our role as a service provider or contractor, under the CPRA, to the extent applicable, we will act as a business with respect to such consumer information and this Privacy Policy will apply to the processing of such consumer information.

As used in this CPRA Notice, “sell” (including any grammatically inflected forms thereof) means selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, consumer information (as defined below) to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration.

“Selling” does not include (i) disclosing consumer information to a third party at your direction, (ii) where you intentionally interact with one or more third parties, or (iii) transfers of your consumer information to a third party as an asset that is part of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or other transaction in which the third party assumes control of all or part of Beatlibrary, provided that information is used or shared consistent with the CPRA.

As used in this CPRA Notice, “share” (including any grammatically inflected forms thereof) means sharing, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, consumer information to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising, whether or not for monetary or other valuable consideration, including transactions with a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising for our benefit in which no money is exchanged.

“Sharing” does not include (i) disclosing consumer information to a third party at your direction, (ii) where you intentionally interact with one or more third parties, or (iii) transfers of your consumer information to a third party as an asset that is part of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or other transaction in which the third party assumes control of all or part of Beatlibrary, provided that information is used or shared consistently with the CPRA.

Consumer Information Collected: 
We collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with particular California residents or households (“consumer information”).
