Privacy Policy
We make every effort to preserve user privacy; however we may need to disclose personal
information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action
is necessary to comply with an appropriate law enforcement investigation, current
judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Web site. Information
Collection and Use We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in
ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. PowerChord collects information
from our users at several different points on our web site. We recognize the importance
of protecting the privacy of Personal Identifying Information about you as a user
of our web site. We consider the following to be Personal Identifying Information:
your name, title, company, e-mail and phone number. This web site does not collect
Personal Identifying Information about a user other than information that is voluntarily
provided to our Company; in this way, we can serve the user's needs as well as our
own legitimate business purposes. Our company uses a user's Personal Identifying
Information in order to help us improve our web site, or for our company's marketing
and promotional purposes if you have opted to receive these kinds of communications.
This information will be treated confidentially within our company.
Log Files
Like most standard web site servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol
(IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages,
platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer
the site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information
for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable
information, except to prevent fraud or abuse of the system.
Sharing
We may share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers.
This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual
person. We use an outside credit card processing company to bill users for goods
and services. This company does not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable
information for any secondary purposes. From time to time we partner with outside
service providers. When the user signs up for these services, we will share names,
or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these
services. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information
except for the purpose of providing these services.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we (PowerChord)
are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage
our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements
of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This
privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this web site.
Service Announcements
On rare occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly service related announcement.
For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance we might send
users an e-mail. Generally, users may not opt-out of these communications, though
they can deactivate their account information. However, these communications are
not promotional in nature.
Surveys
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys. Participation
in these surveys is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether
or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information
(such as name and title), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level).
Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use
and satisfaction of this site. Security We follow generally accepted industry standards
to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and
once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic
storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially
acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute
security. If you have any questions about the security at our website, please feel
free to write or call. Notification of Changes If we decide to change our privacy
policy, we will post those changes on our Homepage so our users are always aware
of what information we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any,
we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information
in a manner materially different from that stated at the time it was collected,
we will notify users by way of an e-mail. Users will have a choice as to whether
or not we use their information in this different manner. However, if you have removed
your personal information you will not be contacted, nor will your information be
used in this new manner.
