TRUSONIC, INC. PRIVACY POLICY

We at Trusonic, Inc. respect the privacy concerns of the users of this site and have created this privacy policy to explain (1) what information we gather from you when you visit our site, (2) how we may use such information, (3) your choices concerning how we may use such information and (4) the security measures we take to protect such information. Some information is collected on this site automatically through our technology; other information is collected only when you choose to give it to us (e.g., when you submit content in connection with the Trusonic Music Program or sign up for a specific online transaction).

Information We Gather Automatically
When you visit this site, certain non-personally identifying information is recorded automatically by the standard operation of our Internet servers. Information such as the type of browser being used, its operating system, and your computer's Internet Protocol ("IP") address (a number that your Internet service provider assigns to your computer whenever you surf the Internet) is gathered in order to facilitate our online operations and to assure an efficient online experience for you. We may also use or share this information for security purposes, to generate group statistics about our user community, or as required by law.

We may use your IP address or other automatically recorded information, in cooperation with your Internet provider, to identify you if it is necessary to contact you or to bring legal action against you because you are violating the Trusonic, Inc. Terms and Conditions of Use for this site, Trusonic Music Program Terms and Conditions, Trusonic Message Service Terms and Conditions, if applicable, or may be causing injury to or interference (intentionally or unintentionally) with our rights or property or with the rights or property of others.

Personal Information You Provide To Us
We may request personally identifying information from you in a variety of contexts. For example, you may provide such data to us if you: (1) complete an online registration form (e.g., various sign-up forms for receiving email newsletters, registering for special offers, registering for an account, entering a contest or responding to a survey); (2) fill out an order form to request information; (3) register to participate in chat rooms and other community features; or (4) purchase any products or services from us.

In such cases, the personally identifying information we request may include your name, email address, mailing address and zip code, phone number, and, where appropriate, a valid credit card number with expiration date (collectively, "Personal Information"). In addition, we may collect other non-personally identifying information such as your date of birth, gender, country of residence, language preference, hobbies and other information regarding your interaction with our site and other customized activities in which you participate. Of course, you never have to answer any of the questions we ask you, but refusal to do so may limit the products or services we can offer or provide to you and will preclude your participation in the Trusonic Music Program.

When you provide Personal Information to us, we will use that data to create an Artist Account for you, which will be held in a secure database. Others outside Trusonic, Inc. will not be allowed to see the data on your Artist Account page except with your consent (see below). However, you will be able to access your Artist Account page at any time in order to update your individual Personal Information or to change your preferences (see below under "How Can You Correct or Review Your Personal Information?" for more details).
