The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination
practices for this website: www.SongU.com.
It is SongU.com's policy to use its best efforts to respect the privacy
of its users.
Information Collection And Use
SongU, LLC is the sole owner of the information collected on this web
site with the exception of any information that is owned or copyrighted
by a third party involved in SongU.com, including our members. We will
not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different

Cookies
Cookies are very small text files placed on your hard drive by a computer
server. A cookie serves as your identification card and helps us remember
who you are. It is uniquely yours. It stores information about you, such
as nickname, age, zip code and gender. SongU.com uses cookies to
personalize and improve your experience on this site and to assist
advertisers in providing you with advertisements targeted toward your
interests. A cookie can only be read by the server that gives it to you.
No one else can access this information. Cookies also tell us that you
returned to a specific web page on our site, and help us track your
preferences and transactional habits.
We may use outside ad companies to
display ads on our site. These ads may contain cookies. If you choose to
enter an advertiser's site, the ad company may use cookies associated
with these banner ads. We do not have access to this information or
control over these cookies. These companies may use information (not
including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about
your visits to this and other web sites in order to provide
advertisements on this site and other sites about goods and services of
interest to you. Please be aware that SongU.com advertisers or web sites
that have links on our site may collect personally identifiable
information about you. The information practices of those web sites
linked to SongU.com are not covered by this privacy statement.
Information Sharing
As a general rule, SongU.com will not
disclose any of your personally identifiable information except when we
have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we
believe in good faith that the law requires it or under the circumstances
described below. The following describes some of the ways that your
information may be disclosed.
SongU.com Registration
When enrolling at SongU.com, we ask users to first complete the
registration form. During registration a user is required to give some
information such as name, email address, birth date information, gender,
country of residence and zip code if applicable. Some fields may be
optional. We encourage our users to provide us with as much information
as possible so we can provide a more personalized experience on our site.
We use the information we collect from
our users during the registration process to make your SongU.com
experience better and to help us to customize our service, and target
advertising, sponsorships, and email offers from SongU.com and our
affiliates based on our user demographics, likes, dislikes, etc.
At our discretion, we will make the
information about SongU.com users available in an aggregate form (this
means you're one of the bunch, your information isn't singled out) to
allow us to update and improve our site, and tell other people something
about the numbers of people who are enrolled at SongU.com. Personally
identifiable information is not extracted in this process and we will not
disclose any such personal information unless specifically requested by a
user.
We may partner with another party to
provide specific services. As such, when the user signs up for these
services, we may have to share information that is necessary for the
third party to provide these services. The information practices of those
web sites partnered with SongU.com are not covered by this privacy
statement.
SongU.com Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact
information such as name and email address. A user can unsubscribe from
the email by writing to the following email address unsubscribe@songu.com
requesting to be removed from the newsletter mail list.
Surveys And Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or
contests. Participation in these surveys or contests 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 shipping address), and demographic information (such as
zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the
winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of
monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site. Users may
opt-out of receiving future mailings.
SongU.com Referrals
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about
our site, we ask them for the friend's name and email address. SongU.com
will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to
visit the site or attend a special chat session. SongU.com stores this
information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email.
SongU.com Discussion Boards And
Chatrooms
This site makes chat rooms, forums, message boards, and/or news groups
available to its users. Please remember that any information that is
disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should
exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information. We
also keep transcripts of all SongU.com classroom and special event chat
sessions and these transcripts may be posted for users who were unable to
attend a class or an event. We may also use your IP address to help
diagnose problems with our server and to administer our web site. For
more information on proper etiquette and guidelines on SongU.com's
discussion boards and in our chatrooms, please see our community
standards.
Online Purchases At SongU.com
In addition to our online registration system, SongU.com has an online
bookstore area where users can make online purchases of various products
including SongU.com branded goods. Here a user must provide contact
information such as name and shipping address in addition to financial
information such as a credit card number and expiration date. This
information is used for billing purposes and to fill orders. If we have
trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in
touch with the user. This information is not stored or accessible for any
purpose but to deliver the products you have purchased and properly bill
you.
We may use an outside shipping company to
ship orders, and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods
and services. The information practices of those web sites are not
covered by this privacy statement.
SongU.com Web Site And Service Change
Notices
We also send our users both site and service announcement updates to the
email address provided by the member during signup. Users are not able to
unsubscribe from such service announcements, since these may contain
important information about their service. We will also attempt to
communicate with the user via email to resolve issues relating to their
account.
Outside Links At SongU.com
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that
SongU.com is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other
sites. We encourage our users to be aware that when they leave our site,
they should 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.
Other Situations Where Personal
Information May Be Disclosed
We may store and disclose personal information allowed or required by
applicable law or when deemed advisable. This means that we may make
disclosures that are necessary or advisable to conform to legal and
regulatory requirements or processes and to protect the rights, safety
and property of SongU.com, users of this site and the public.
We may send you information from time to
time about SongU.com promotional offerings and we may share your personal
information with third parties who wish to send you promotional offerings
with your consent. Receipt of promotional offerings may be indicated in
the appropriate check boxes within our site signifying your preferences.
You may be entitled to stop the delivery of promotional information from
SongU.com by sending e-mail to remove@songu.com
and, for third party promotional offerings, by contacting the source of
that promotional offering. We do not intend to disclose any personal
information in cases where such disclosure would be in violation of
applicable law.
Your Security At SongU.com
We care about your privacy and security, so we take reasonable steps to
protect personal information and use technology such as SSL, encryption,
access control procedures, firewalls and physical security.
Your SongU.com account information and
SongU.com profile are password-protected so that only you have access to
this personal information. You may edit your SongU.com account
information and SongU.com profile by using your SongU.com ID and
password.
We recommend that you do not divulge your
password to anyone. SongU.com will never ask you for your password in an
unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email. Also remember to sign
out of your SongU.com account and close your browser window when you have
finished your work. This is to ensure that others cannot access your
personal information and correspondence if you share a computer with
someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or
Internet cafe.
SongU.com has users all over the world.
When you give SongU.com personal information, that information may be
sent electronically to servers outside of the country where you
originally entered the information, such as to the United States or other
countries. In addition, that information may be used, stored and
processed outside of the country where you entered that information.
Whenever SongU.com handles personal information as described above,
regardless of where this occurs, SongU.com takes steps to ensure that
your information is treated securely.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over
the Internet can be guaranteed to be one hundred percent secure. As a
result, while we strive to protect your personal information, SongU.com
cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to
us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own
risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to
ensure its security on our systems.
Please keep in mind that whenever you
voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example on message
boards, through email, or in chat areas - that information can be
collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information
online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited
messages from other parties in return.
Naturally, as a user you should also take
reasonable steps to prevent others from having access to your account.
This includes not giving out your password to others, including family or
household users.
Ultimately, you are solely responsible
for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account
information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are
online.
