Inside Jazz Privacy Policy

 

Hello, and welcome to our Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy helps you to make informed decisions about your relationship with us.

1 Introduction

Thanks for choosing Inside Jazz. This is our Privacy Policy. Before getting into the details, we’d like to highlight some of the key principles behind it.

The Privacy Policy is here to do three things:

Explain the way we use information that you share with us in order to build a great product and give you a great experience with it;

Ensure that you understand what information we collect with your permission, and what we do — and do not do — with it;

Hold us accountable for protecting your rights and your privacy under this policy.

All the information we collect is related to providing the Inside Jazz service and its features.

Broadly speaking, there are two categories of information we collect: 1) information that we must have in order for you to use Inside Jazz; and 2) information that we can use to provide additional features and improved experiences if you choose to share that information.

The first category includes:

Registration information, including your name, birth date, address, and other information you provide when you sign up for Inside Jazz.

Broad, non-specific location, which we derive from your IP address. Our licenses to deliver music and other content to you are location-specific, so we need to know what country you’re in.

The music you listen to and your interactions with the Service. This allows us to make recommendations to you and suggest relevant content.

Technical information necessary to operate Inside Jazz. This includes the type of browser and device you use, data from the touchscreen

Throughout this Privacy Policy we refer to the Inside Jazz Service or the Service. These terms are defined in our Terms and Conditions of Use (the “Terms and Conditions of Use”).

2 Key highlights of what you’re consenting to

By using or interacting with the Service, you are consenting to:

the use of cookies and other technologies;

the transfer of your information outside of the country where you live;

In each case, you consent to the processing of data the entities described in this Privacy Policy, including the Inside Jazz entity, as data controller, indicated at the bottom of this document (collectively, “Inside Jazz”, “we”, “us”, “our”). In the Your Preferences section, we describe the controls and relevant settings associated with your Inside Jazz account. If you don’t agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, then please don’t use the Service.

3 The information we collect

We may collect and store the following information—

3.1 Registration data

When you sign up for the Service, we may ask you for information such as your username, password, email address, date of birth, gender, address, postal code, and country.

3.2 Usage, log data & cookies

When you use or interact with the Service, we may use a variety of technologies that collect information about how the Service is accessed and used. This information may include:

information about your type of subscription and your interactions with the Service, such as interactions with songs, playlists, other audiovisual content, other Inside Jazz users;

the details of the queries you make and the date and time of your request;

User Content (as defined in the Terms and Conditions of Use) you post to the Service including messages you send and/or receive via the Service;

technical data, which may include URL information, cookie data, your IP address, the types of devices you are using to access or connect to the Inside Jazz Service, unique device ID, device attributes, network connection type (e.g., WiFi, 3G, LTE) and provider, network and device performance, browser type, language, information enabling digital rights management, operating system, and Inside Jazz application version.

3.3 Your mobile device

We may provide features that rely on the use of additional information on your mobile device or require access to certain services on your mobile device that will enhance your Inside Jazz experience but are not required to use the Service.

3.4 Widget data

Other websites may integrate Inside Jazz widgets (such as the Inside Jazz Play Button or Inside Jazz Follow Button). When you visit a site with an Inside Jazz widget embedded, we may receive certain information, including information about the web page you visited.

3.5 Payment data

If you sign up for a Trial (as defined in the Terms and Conditions of Use), purchase any of our Paid Subscriptions (as defined in the Terms and Conditions of Use), or make other purchases through the Service, your credit or debit card information (such as card type and expiration date) and other financial data that we need to process your payment may be collected and stored us and/or the payment processors with which we work. We may also collect some limited information, such as your postal code, mobile number, and details of your transaction history, all of which are necessary to provide the Service. In addition, the payment processors generally provide us with some limited information related to you, such as a unique token that enables you to make additional purchases using the information they’ve stored, and your card’s type, expiration date, and certain digits of your card number.

If you choose to pay invoice, Inside Jazz may need to collect and store additional information, like your name, date of birth, and phone number, and provide it to payment processors we work with to issue invoices, to enable credit checks and to send you invoices.

BY ACCEPTING THE PRIVACY POLICY, YOU EXPRESSLY AUTHORIZE INSIDE JAZZ TO USE AND SHARE WITH OTHER COMPANIES IN THE INSIDE JAZZ GROUP, AS WELL AS CERTAIN TRUSTED BUSINESS PARTNERS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS, WHICH MAY BE LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTRY OF YOUR RESIDENCE (INCLUDING COUNTRIES WHICH DO NOT PROVIDE THE SAME LEVEL OF PROTECTION FOR THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA AS THE COUNTRY OF YOUR RESIDENCE), THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY YOU TO INSIDE JAZZ, EVEN IF SUCH INFORMATION IS COVERED BY LOCAL BANKING SECRECY LAWS. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO THE IMPORTANCE OF SHARING SUCH INFORMATION FOR THE PROVISION OF THE INSIDE JAZZ SERVICE AND ALSO AGREE THAT, BY ACCEPTING THIS PRIVACY POLICY, WHERE APPLICABLE AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE YOUR RIGHTS UNDER SUCH BANK SECRECY LAWS WITH REGARD TO INSIDE JAZZ, ANY COMPANY IN THE INSIDE JAZZ GROUP, AND ANY TRUSTED BUSINESS PARTNERS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS, WHICH MAY BE LOCATED OUTSIDE YOUR COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE. THIS CONSENT IS GIVEN FOR THE DURATION OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH INSIDE JAZZ.

3.6 Sweepstakes, contests & surveys

From time to time, we may offer you the opportunity to participate in promotions such as sweepstakes, contests, offers, and/or surveys (“Special Promotions”) through the Service. A Special Promotion may be governed a privacy policy and/or terms and conditions that are additional to, or separate from, this Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions of Use. If the provisions of the Special Promotion’s privacy policy or terms and conditions conflict with this Privacy Policy or the Terms and Conditions of Use, those additional or separate provisions shall prevail. If you participate in a Special Promotion, we may ask you for certain information in addition to what is stated in this Privacy Policy, including personal information. That additional information may be combined with other account information and may be used and shared as described in this Privacy Policy.

5.2.2 Service providers and others

We may from time to time share your information with service providers to perform functions and process user data and help provide our Services, consistent with this Privacy Policy.

5.2.3 Rights holders

The Inside Jazz service allows you to listen to fully-licensed streaming content. Inside Jazz shares information with the rights holders that license this content to Inside Jazz. The data that Inside Jazz shares is in a de-identified format that does not identify you directly, unless you opt in to the sharing of your personal information.

5.2.4 Certain Inside Jazz partners

If you access the Inside Jazz Service through an offer that you received or purchased from a third party such as your mobile network operator, we may also share information with that third party about your use of the Inside Jazz Service, such as whether and to what extent you have used the offer, activated a Inside Jazz account, or actively used the Service.

In addition to the above, we may also share your information with third parties for these limited purposes:

to allow a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets;

6 Your preferences

We provide you with settings to allow you to choose which communications you receive from us, manage your public information, and set your sharing preferences. However, as explained in the section Sharing you, certain information may always be publicly available to others and other information is made publicly available to others default. And if you share information to a Third Party Application, that information is viewable on Inside Jazz, regardless of how you set your privacy settings.

To change whether certain information is publicly available, you can adjust the settings in your account. View instructions for adjusting the relevant settings on Inside Jazz’s website.

Information that is publicly available, such as playlists, may be used, re-shared, or linked to others on the Service or across the web, so please use Inside Jazz carefully and be mindful of your settings. Remember that even if you remove a playlist or make a playlist private, others who already subscribe to it or who otherwise have access to it (e.g., via a link) may still have access to it. Also keep in mind that playlists and other information added to your profile may include personal information, such as username, which could enable other persons to find you within the Inside Jazz Service or other services.

7 Transfer to other countries

Inside Jazz transfers, processes and stores information about our users on servers located in a number of countries. Accordingly, Inside Jazz may share your information with other companies in the Inside Jazz group in order to carry out the activities specified in this Privacy Policy. Inside Jazz may also subcontract processing to, or share your information with, third parties located in countries other than your home country. Your personal information may therefore be subject to privacy laws that are different from those in your country of residence. Information collected within the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and Switzerland may, for example, be transferred to and processed third parties identified above, located in a country outside of the EEA and Switzerland, where you may have fewer legal rights in relation to your information. The Inside Jazz group will process your information as described in this Privacy Policy.

We may display advertisements from third parties and other content that links to third party websites. We cannot control or be held responsible for third parties’ privacy practices and content. Please read their privacy policies to find out how they collect and process your personal information.

9 Security

We are committed to protecting our users’ information. Your password protects your user account, so you should use a unique and strong password, limit access to your computer and browser, and log out after having used the Inside Jazz Service. While we take data protection precautions, no security measures are completely secure, and we do not guarantee the security of user information.

10 Children

The Inside Jazz Service is not directed to children under the age of 13. (In some countries, stricter age limits may apply. See our Terms and Conditions of Use.) We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 or under the applicable age limit (the “Age Limit”). If you are under the Age Limit, do not use the Service and do not provide any personal information to us. If you are a parent of a child under the Age Limit and become aware that your child has provided personal information to Inside Jazz, please contact us at privacy@InsideJazz.com and you may request exercise of your applicable access, rectification, cancellation, and/or objection rights. If you are a California resident under the age of 18 and you wish to remove publicly available content, please contact us at info@InsideJazz.com.

11 Accessing and updating user information

You can view and amend much of the information we keep about you through your account and profile pages. We will respond to your request within a reasonable period of time upon verification of your identity in accordance with local laws. We recommend you include documents that prove your identity and a clear and precise description of the information which you request access to.

12 Changes to the Privacy Policy

Occasionally we may, in our discretion, make changes to the Agreements. When we make material changes to the Agreements, we’ll provide you with prominent notice as appropriate under the circumstances, e.g., displaying a prominent notice within the Service or sending you an email. In some cases, we will notify you in advance, and your continued use of the Service after the changes have been made will constitute your acceptance of the changes. Please therefore make sure you read any such notice carefully. If you do not wish to continue using the Service under the new version of the Agreements, you may terminate the Agreements contacting us through the Customer Service contact form.
