COMMITMENT TO YOUR
PRIVACY
This site is owned and operated by JTM Music. Your privacy on
the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. At JTM Music, we
want to make your experience online satisfying and safe.
Because we gather certain types of information about our users,
we feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions
surrounding the capture and use of that information. This
privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how
we use it.
Definition of the Information JTM Music gathers and keeps track
of.
JTM Music gathers two types of information about users:
-Information that users provide through optional, voluntary
submissions. These are voluntary submissions to receive our
electronic newsletters, to participate in our message boards or
forums, to email a friend, and from participation in polls and
surveys:
-Information JTM Music gathers through aggregated tracking
information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our
sites. This information allows us to better tailor our content
to readers' needs and to help our advertisers and sponsors
better understand the demographics of our audience. Because JTM
Music derives its revenue mainly from sponsorships and
advertising, providing such aggregated demographic data is
essential to keeping our service free to users. Under no
circumstances does JTM Music divulge any information about an
individual user to a third party.
JTM Music Gathers User Information In The Following Processes:
Optional
Voluntary Information
We offer the following free services, which require some type of
voluntary submission of personal information by users:
1. Electronic newsletters (Dispatches)
We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users. JTM Music
gathers the email addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe.
Users may remove themselves from this mailing list by following
the link provided in every newsletter that points users to the
subscription management page. Users can also subscribe to the
newsletters at the time of registration.
2. Surveys
JTM Music may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target
our content to our audience. We sometimes share the aggregated
demographic information in these surveys with our sponsors,
advertisers and partners. We never share any of this information
about specific individuals with any third party.
CHILDREN
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection
Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally
identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without
requesting parental consent.
USAGE TRACKING
JTM Music tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our
sites. However, we do not correlate this information with data
about individual users. JTM Music does break down overall usage
statistics according to a user's domain name, browser type, and
MIME type by reading this information from the browser string
(information contained in every user's browser).
USE OF INFORMATION
JTM Music uses any information voluntarily given by our users to
enhance their experience in our network of sites, whether to
provide interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to
better prepare future content based on the interests of our
users.
As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily
provide in order to send out electronic newsletters and to
enable users to participate in polls, surveys, message boards,
and forums. We send out newsletters to subscribers on a regular
schedule (depending on the newsletter), and occasionally send
out special editions when we think subscribers might be
particularly interested in something we are doing. JTM Music
never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties,
including advertisers, sponsors or partners.
When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our
sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas.
We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well
each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a
better service for you. We track search terms entered in Search
function as one of many measures of what interests our users.
But we don't track which terms a particular user enters.
SECURITY
JTM Music operates secure data networks protected by industry
standard firewall and password protection systems. Our security
and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as
necessary and only authorized individuals have access to the
information provided by our customers.
OPT-OUT POLICY
We give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such
choices include:
· Opting not to register to receive our electronic newsletters.
· Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which
completely alleviates the need to gather any personally
identifiable information from our users
YOUR CONSENT
By using this site, you consent to the collection and use of
this information by JTM Music. If we decide to change our
privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so that
you are always aware of what information we collect and how we
use it.
