Information We Gather Automatically
When you visit this Service, certain non-personally identifying information is recorded
automatically by the standard operation of our Internet servers. Information such as the type of
browser being used, its operating system, and your computer's Internet Protocol ("IP") address (a
number that your Internet service provider assigns to your computer whenever you surf the
Internet) is gathered in order to facilitate our online operations and to assure an efficient online
experience for you. If you access our Service from a mobile or other device, we may collect
information for that device (including operating system, browser, type of device) in order to
facilitate our mobile operations and to assure an efficient mobile experience for you. We may use
or share this information for security purposes, to generate group statistics about our user
community, or as required by law.
If you access our Service from a social network like Facebook, ScoreMus receives certain
information about you from the social network automatically. The information we receive
depends on the Service, the social network, and your privacy settings and your friends’ privacy
settings on that social network.
For example, ScoreMus may collect and store some or all of the following information provided
by the social network:
• your first and last name;
• your profile picture or its URL;
• your social network ID number (like your Facebook ID number), which is linked to publiclyavailable
information like your name and profile photo;
• the social network ID numbers and other public data for your friends;
• the login e-mail you provided to that social network when you registered with it;
• your physical location and that of the devices you use to access our Services;
• your gender;
• phone number;
• your birthday and/or age range;
• other publicly-available information on the social network; and/or
• any other information that you or the social networks share with ScoreMus.
If you access our Service from a social network, you should also read that social network’s
Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
Among the purposes for which we may use such generally non-personally identifying
information is for identification purposes in the event of an emergency threatening life or
property, or where proper legal process allows using such information. For instance, we may use
your IP address or other automatically recorded information, in cooperation with your Internet
provider, to attempt to identify you if it is necessary to contact you or to bring legal action
against you because you are violating the Terms of Service for use for this Service, may be
causing injury to or interference (intentionally or unintentionally) with our company's rights or
property, or may be adversely affecting other users of this Service or anyone else who could be
harmed by your activities.
Usage Data
We may collect data based on your use of the Service AKA telemetry, and we do not associate
such telemetry data with your name. We use such telemetry data to better understand the usage
patterns of our Service and the behaviors of our collective audience. At times we may share this
information in aggregated anonymous form with third parties. Collection of telemetry data based
on your use of the Service is done only if you permit it. The legal basis for this telemetry data
processing is our legitimate interest in improving our software and Service.
Personal Information You Provide To Us
We may request personally identifying information from you in a variety of contexts. For
example, you may provide such data to us if you:
(1) complete an online registration form (e.g.,
registering for an account, various sign-up forms for receiving email newsletters, registering for
special offers, entering a contest/sweepstakes or responding to a survey);
(2) fill out an order
form to request information;
(3) register to participate in message boards and chat rooms (if any)
and other community features; or
(4) purchase any products or services from us or another ScoreMus business.
Additionally, when you ask for help from our Customer Support team, we
will collect, record and store the contact information you give them (generally, your name and email
address), information about your activity on our Services, and your user name. We will also
store the communications you have with the Customer Service team and any information in those
communications in order to provide support.
In such cases, the personally identifying information we request may include your name, email
address, mailing address and zip code, phone number, and, where appropriate, a valid credit card
number with expiration date (collectively, "Personal Information").
In addition, we may collect other non-personally identifying information such as your date of birth, gender, country of
residence, language preference, hobbies and other information regarding your interaction with
our Service such as your viewing and listening habits, preferences and other customized
activities in which you participate. Of course, you never have to answer any of the questions we
ask you (nor choose to view or listen to any multimedia content or otherwise interact with our
Service), but refusal to do so may limit the products or services we can offer or provide to you.
When you provide Personal Information to us, we may use that data to create a "Profile" page
for you, which will be held in a database using reasonable security measures to protect the data
from unauthorized access. Others outside ScoreMus will not be allowed to see the data on
your Profile page except with your consent (see below). If you register to set up an account, you
will be able to access your Profile page at any time in order to update your individual Personal
Information listed therein (see below under "How Can You Correct or Review Your Personal
Information?" for more details).
How Can Your Personal Information Be Used?
Within ScoreMus
When you purchase products or services from ScoreMus, we will use your Personal Information
to fulfil your order and for customer service. Many online customers are particularly concerned
about their credit card information, which we will share only as required by companies involved
in your transaction (e.g., fulfillment, billing, mailing, storage or delivery services). We will not
share your credit card information with any other third party unless that company needs the
number for the fulfillment or delivery of your order. We do not rent, sell or share credit card
information with promotional partners or other third parties.
Your Personal Information may be stored on the ScoreMus cloud in order to provide
interoperability of the Service among your devices.
ScoreMus keeps track of the websites and pages you visit within the Service, what features and
content you use and how frequently. This information may be used by ScoreMus to maintain and
improve the content, design, usability, and quality of the Service; to improve your user
experience; to generate and provide statistics regarding use of the Service; to deliver customized
content and advertising within the Service to users whose behaviour indicates that they are
interested in a particular subject area, and to develop new products and services.
We may have links to third party-operated sites that sell or license certain music, videos, or other
goods mentioned, provided, or promoted on ScoreMus. Such third-party sites are not operated or
controlled by ScoreMus, and any transactions that you may enter into with such sites will be
subject to the privacy and security practices of the merchant with which you are transacting.
ScoreMus and ScoreMus are not responsible for the privacy and security practices of sites not in
our immediate control.
We may use your Personal Information and other non-personally identifying information we
collect to update you about our products or services or to contact you about exciting offers of
new products or services that we believe may be of interest to you. You always have the option
to receive fewer or no communications in the future from us by opting out. You may opt out by
(a) following the instructions included in the specific communication you no longer wish to
receive, (b) sending an email scoremus20@gmail.com and explaining how you would like to
modify your preferences, or (c) accessing your Profile page and modifying how you would like
to modify your preferences.
Finally, without any specific approval from you, we may develop general aggregate data (i.e.,
data that cannot be used to identify specific individuals) about our user community that is partly
based on information about you and your transactions with ScoreMus. For example,
hypothetically, you might be one of 1,000,000 customers between the ages of 25 and 35. We
may share such aggregate statistics with other ScoreMus-related companies without your consent.
Contest Sponsors
When you give Personal Information to ScoreMus in connection with a contest, we may share
that data (together with non-personally identifying information you may provide) with the
sponsor or sponsors of such contest. By entering a contest, you are allowing such sponsor or
sponsors to use such Personal Information and to contact you in connection with the contest and
in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Outside ScoreMus
When you give Personal Information to ScoreMus, we may ask you to allow us to share that data
(together with non-personally identifying information you may provide) with our promotional
partners and third-party advertisers. In such instances, our general practice is to ask you to "optin"
to share such data and information on, for example, a specific promotion, registration page or
sweepstakes. However, in some instances, and where law permits, we may ask you to "opt-out"
from sharing such data and information with a given promotional partner or third party advertiser
in connection with a specific promotion, registration page or contests. If you prefer, you may
give us blanket permission to share your Personal Information with all of our promotional
partners and third-party advertisers. Conversely, you may also choose not to allow us to share
your Personal Information with any other companies outside ScoreMus.
If you consent to share your Personal Information with our promotional partners and third-party
advertisers, you are allowing such parties to use such Personal Information and to contact you in
accordance with their own privacy policies. You have the option to change your mind and to stop
us from further sharing your Personal Information with our promotional partners and third-party
advertisers by modifying your preferences or by contacting scoremus20@gmail.com and
explaining how you would like to modify your preferences. We will not retrieve any Personal
Information shared with our promotional partners and third-party advertisers prior to your
decision to opt-out. If you wish to limit or discontinue receiving further communications from a
promotional partner or third-party advertiser, please contact that company directly in the manner
indicated in its own communications with you.
Without any specific approval from you, ScoreMus may develop general aggregate data (i.e.,
data that cannot be used to identify specific individuals) about you that is partly based on
information about you and your transactions us. We may share such aggregate statistics with
promotional partners and third-party advertisers without your consent.
Finally, we may use your Personal Information in connection with third-party advertisers who
serve ads to you while visiting a ScoreMus Service. These third-party advertisers may use your
Personal Information (not including any personally identifying information you may provide) in
order to generate advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you.
Service Providers
We may employ third party companies to provide customer support, perform Website-related
services (e.g., without limitation, maintenance services, database management, web analytics and
improvement of the Website's features) or to assist us in analysing how our Service is used.
These third parties may have access to your personal information to the extent required to
perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other
purpose.
For Legal Enforcement Purposes

required by law or in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this
information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against you if you are violating

unintentionally) with our company's rights or property, other users of this Service or anyone else
who could be harmed by your activities. Additionally, ScoreMus cooperates with government
and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We will
disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties
as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal
process (including but not limited to subpoenas), to protect the property and rights of ScoreMus

may consider to be, or to pose a risk of being, an illegal, unethical or legally actionable activity.

Information security
To safeguard against unauthorized access to personal information by third

protected by up-to-date secure network architectures that contain firewalls and intrusion
detection devices. The data saved in servers is “backed up” (i.e. the data are recorded on separate
media) to avoid the consequences of any inadvertent erasure, destruction or loss otherwise. The
servers are stored in facilities with high security, access restricted to unauthorized personnel, fire
detection and response systems.

We employ reasonable physical and administrative safeguards to protect your personal information.
While we will use such efforts, we cannot and will not insure the security of your information.

third party access or other acts of third parties, or acts or omissions beyond our reasonable control.

Cookies
A "cookie" is a small text file that an Internet Service can place on your computer's hard drive
for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make using this Service easier by, among other things,
saving your passwords and preferences for you, keeping track of your shopping cart when you
visit an online store or other similar purposes, and to help identify you whenever you return to
our Service, so you do not need to re-enter your identification information. Most Internet
browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. However, you can reset your browser to refuse all
cookies or to alert you when a cookie is being sent (note: you may need to consult your browser's
"Help" area for instructions on how to do that). If you choose to disable your cookies setting or
refuse to accept a cookie, some parts of this Service will not function properly or may perform
considerably slower. For example, without cookies, you will not be able to set personalized
preferences or you may have difficulty downloading tablatures, watching videos or utilizing the
Community Forums. Some of our web pages may contain electronic images (called "Clear
GIFs", "Single-Pixel GIFs", or "Web Beacons") that allow us to count page views or to access
cookies. In general, any electronic image viewed as part of a web page, including an ad banner,
can act as a Clear GIF. Typically, though, Clear GIFs are very small (1-by-1 pixel size) files.
They are often invisible on a web page, but their presence can be detected within many Internet
browsers by setting your browser to view web page "sources". Clear GIFs are so small in order
not to use valuable space on the computer screen that is better used to display helpful content.
We may also include Clear GIFs in our email products in order to determine information about
the opening and reading of such emails. In addition, some advertising networks that serve ads on
our web Service may occasionally use Clear GIFs within banner advertisements. Clear GIFs set
by ScoreMus generally are not used to collect, gather, monitor, or share personal information
about our users, though they can be used in conjunction with cookies to record particular actions.
We use Clear GIFs primarily to compile aggregated, anonymous statistics about web Service or
email product usage.
Some of the advertisements and other services that appear on our web Service(s) are delivered to
you by Internet advertising companies. These companies utilize certain technologies including
cookies to deliver advertisements and marketing messages and to collect anonymous information
about your visit to our sites and other web sites. If you would like more information about this
practice or to opt out of having this information used by companies that are part of the Network
Advertising Initiative to provide targeted ads, please visit https://www.networkadvertising.org
Message Boards, Chat Rooms and Instant Messaging
If you visit a message board, chat room or utilize an instant messaging service on this Service, if
any, you are solely responsible for the content of messages you post there. You should be aware
that when you voluntarily disclose Personal Information (for example, your name, street address,
email address, or telephone number) on message boards, chat rooms or instant messaging
services, that information can be read, collected and used by other users of these services and
may result in unsolicited messages, both commercial and otherwise. You agree that by
participating in such online public forums, you will not use such forums for any purpose that is
unlawful or prohibited by the ScoreMus community guidelines that may be in effect from time to
time in connection with such service. We reserve the right to terminate your access to this
Service or to take other protective steps if you violate those terms.

their privacy policies or practices are the same as those followed by our company or by other

policies and practices.
