Please note that when you link to other sites from a MySoundQ, Inc. website, this Privacy Policy does not apply to, and cannot control the activities on, those other sites.

If you are a visitor from outside the United States, the personal information you provide may be transferred to, stored, and processed within the United States or other countries where MySoundQ, Inc. maintains facilities or business operations.
What personal information is collected?

Visitors purchasing products or services will be required to provide additional information such as a valid credit card number, expiration date, and shipping and billing addresses.
Please note that, depending on the MySoundQ, Inc. site or social media site that you are visiting, many of the activities listed above may not be available and, as such, personal information may not be collected.
What other types of information may we collect?
For some activities, we may ask you to create a username and password and/or to provide other non-personal information such as your age, date of birth, gender, and/or music style preferences; and, combine such information with your personal information. In addition, your web browser or client software may transmit certain geographic information or information regarding your computer (capabilities, etc.) to MySoundQ, Inc.. MySoundQ, Inc. may use this information to generate aggregate statistics about our user community and may provide such information to advertisers and/or our partners. In addition, MySoundQ, Inc. may use such information for security, system integrity (the prevention of hacking, cheats, etc.), or enforcement purposes. From time to time, we may also post customer testimonials that contain personally identifiable information on MySoundQ, Inc.’s websites. However, we will obtain the customer’s consent to post these testimonials prior to publication in accordance with the applicable MySoundQ, Inc. Terms of Use (TOU).
How do we use your personal information?

MySoundQ, Inc. may enhance or merge the personal information collected at a MySoundQ, Inc. site with data from third parties in order to update your contact information, perform market analysis, or improve our products, services, or systems. MySoundQ, Inc. may also provide your personal information to other companies or organizations that offer products or services that may be of interest to you. In such cases, we will notify you that the information will be shared and provide you with an opportunity to opt-out.
Lastly, we may use your personal information for internal marketing, profiling, or demographic purposes, so we can adapt our products and services to better suit your needs. We do this to better understand and serve our customers.

What type of communications may I receive?

Service-related Announcements
We will send you strictly service-related announcements on rare occasions when it is necessary to do so. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance, we might send you an email. Generally, you may not opt-out of these communications, which are not promotional in nature.
Customer Service
Based upon the personally identifiable information you provide us, we will send you a welcoming email to verify your username and password.

Refer a Friend/E-cards

MySoundQ, Inc. does not store this information and uses it for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email and to track the success of our referral program.
Who is collecting your information?

In addition, some services are provided in conjunction with partner companies. If your personal information is being collected by a company other than MySoundQ, Inc. and not on MySoundQ, Inc.’s behalf, you will be notified at the time the information is collected. If you do not want your information shared, you can choose not to allow the transfer of information by not using that particular service or by not providing any information at that time.
