Cookies

Like many web sites we use "cookies" to identify your computer and to enable us maintain a user’s session information, to help us identify the portions of our Site that may be the most relevant for your needs, and to help us identify other products or services that may be of interest to you or others.

A cookie is a small piece of information that a web site can store on your web browser and then retrieve at a later time. We use cookies to track the portions of our Site you visit. However, we do NOT use cookies to examine your surfing behavior before or after you leave our Site. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies by modifying your browser settings. Our site is viewable even if you disable the cookie function on your browser. However, if you disable cookies, some features will not be available to you. Please review our Cookie Notice that appeared when you first accessed the Site to learn more about how we use cookies.

We also use a tool called "Google Analytics" to collect information about use of this Site and/or Services. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit this Site and/or Services, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to this Site and/or Services. We use the information we get from Google Analytics to improve this Site and/or Services. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit this site, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit this Site and/or Services, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google's ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this Site and/or Services is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this site by disabling cookies on your browser.

Compliance with Legal Obligations

We may have to disclose personal information when required by law such as, for example to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, regulatory agency, or legal process served on us, when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, avoid litigation, protect your safety and/or the safety of others, and/or respond to government request and other legal obligations.

Sharing of your Information

Sharing Non-Personally Identifiable Information

We may share anonymous information based on our experiential data or other data which does not personally identify any of our users. We may share this non-personally identifiable information with our agents, outside vendors or third parties who perform functions on our behalf (such as providing marketing or customer assistance).

Sharing Personally Identifiable Information

We do not sell, rent, or share your personally identifiable information to or with others. We share your personally identifiable information with your song’s publisher(s), and we may share your personal information with service providers who perform services on our behalf. These service providers will be permitted to obtain only the personal information needed to provide their respective service. They are contractually required to protect the privacy and confidentiality of the information, securely maintain the information with proper safeguards, and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose other than as needed for the service that they are providing on our behalf.

Information about our customers, including personal information, may be disclosed as part of any merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our business, as well, as in the event of a bankruptcy, insolvency, or receivership or similar occurrence, where personal information may be transferred as a business asset. In such event, we shall notify you and update this Policy as described in the Changes to this Privacy Policy below.

Retention of Personal Information

We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Service(s) and fulfill the transactions you have requested, and/or as is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Because these needs can vary for different situations and contexts, actual retention periods can vary based on criteria such as, but not limited, to our legal or contractual obligations, User’s ability to automatically delete data, and User consent.

If you wish to delete your account, and/or request that we no longer use your information to provide you a Service(s), you can request deletion of your account by emailing support@affordablesonglicensing.com . If you are not able to access your account, please contact us at support@affordablesonglicensing.com .

How we Protect your Personal Information/Security

Information you provide through our site is protected and sent using SSL/TLS (Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security) security technology to encrypt information while it is in transmission over the internet. Any information you provide to us via email is unencrypted.

You agree to use your username and password only to purchase licensing services and conduct business on behalf of yourself or the organization you represent. You will not permit others to use your username or password for any reason. We will not be liable in the event of loss of your username or password or for any misuse by anyone of your username or password. You have the sole responsibility to secure and maintain your username and password, and you agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your username or password.

We strive to maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to safeguard the information collected by the Site and/or Services. However, no information system can be 100% secure; we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. Moreover, we are not responsible for the security of information you transmit to the Site and/or Services over networks that we do not control, including the Internet and wireless networks.

If you have any questions or concerns about the security of your information while accessing and/or using our Site and/or Services, you can email us at: support@affordablesonglicensing.com .

Without parental consent, online information will only be used to respond to an unsolicited request and for no other purposes. If you believe that we may have any information from or about a child under the age of 16, please contact us at support@affordablesonglicensing.com .
