DOES TRAXBEAT DISCLOSE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO ANYONE?

We take your privacy very seriously. In order to serve you it is possible that people working for Traxbeat might view your personal information to make sure we are providing you with the best service possible, but such access will be on a need-to-know basis only and they will be required to keep your personal information confidential and use it only as provided by the Traxbeat privacy policy.

It is also possible that with improvements to existing services or with the addition of new services it may be to your advantage for Traxbeat to make specific personal information about you available to companies that Traxbeat has a strategic relationship with or that perform work for Traxbeat so that they can provide products and services to you on our behalf. These companies may help us process information, extend credit, fulfill customer orders, deliver products to you, manage and enhance customer data, provide customer service, assess your interest in our products and services or conduct customer research or satisfaction surveys. We will provide these companies with only the personal information that they require to perform the task for which they have been hired to do. These companies must also protect your personal information in accordance with Traxbeat’s privacy policy. Without such information being made available, it would be difficult for you to sell your music, upload your songs, upload your album artwork, purchase products and services, have products delivered to you, receive customer service, provide us feedback to improve our products and services, or access certain services, offers and content on the Traxbeat website.

Your personal information may also be disclosed to law enforcement officials or third parties if Traxbeat is required to do so by law. Furthermore, in the event that Traxbeat receives notification that any content you have posted online using the Traxbeat service infringes on the rights of a third party, Traxbeat may, in its good faith discretion, disclose your contact information to such third party.

HOW DOES Traxbeat PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Traxbeat will take appropriate administrative, technical, physical measures and more to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft or misuse, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.

Although there will always be people attempting to steal information, we follow the industry accepted security standards designed to safeguard and prevent unauthorized access to, disclosure of and use of your personal information. We use Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”) encryption for credit card and other bank transactions. Due to this level of security, you must use an SSL-enabled browser such as Safari, Netscape Navigator 3.0 (or a later version), or Internet Explorer. Doing so protects the confidentiality of your personal information while in transit over the Internet. Traxbeat has used and will continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the protection of your personal information.

In addition, Traxbeat will restrict employee access to databases containing personal information and impose confidentiality requirements upon employees who need to know such information. Furthermore, any Traxbeat employee with partial or total access to personal information must abide by the terms of this privacy policy.

Finally, you will be given complete discretion to create a user name and password that only you know. To further protect your information, you should consider changing your password often and only using a browser that supports SSL encryption.

Traxbeat works hard to keep your personal information safe, accurate, complete and as current as possible. You can help us keep your personal information accurate by updating such information whenever appropriate.
