We at Simbals, Inc. ("Company", "We", "Us", "Our" or “Simbals”) know that our users ("You", "Your") care about how your personal information is used and shared, and we take your privacy seriously. This Online Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) applies to personal data we collect on Simbals.com (the “Site”) and in relation to music detection and data management (the “Services”) to our customers. Please read the following to learn how we handle your information.
By visiting or using the Website or Services in any manner, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy, and consent to our collection, use, and sharing of your information as outlined here. Any capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning given to them in the Company Terms of Service. Any capitalized terms not defined in this document have the meanings assigned to them in the Company’s Terms of Use.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) when you access or use our Services. It does not apply to the practices of any third parties that we do not own or control, or to individuals we do not employ or manage.
The types of personal data we collect and process include:
Personal data that you provide directly to us will be apparent from the context in which you provide it, for example:
Please be aware that we may also obtain this information from a third party representative acting on your behalf. Each form on our Site varies in the information required and collected. In most cases, an asterisk (*) indicates the required information on a form. You may choose to provide additional information within fields that are not required.
While the personal data you choose to provide is voluntary, certain personal data may be necessary to provide you with the relevant product or service. If you choose not to provide certain information, this may affect my ability to provide you with certain products or services.
We use the personal data you provide on our Site for the following legitimate business purposes:
We also collect certain information automatically when you interact with our Platform. This may include:
We may use these automated technologies on our Site to collect information about your equipment, browsing actions, and usage patterns. These technologies help us (1) remember your information so you do not have to re-enter it; (2) track and understand how you use and interact with our Site; (3) tailor the Site around your preferences; (4) measure the usability of our Site and the effectiveness of our communications; and (5) otherwise manage and enhance our products and services, and help ensure they are working properly.
Your browser may tell you how to be notified about certain types of automated collection technologies and how to restrict or disable them. Please note, however, that without these technologies, you may not be able to use all of the features of our Site. For mobile devices, you can manage how your device and browser share certain device data by adjusting the privacy and security settings on your mobile device.
For more information on our use of cookies and similar technologies, please review our cookie policy. We do not intentionally collect sensitive or special categories of personal data (e.g., racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, health data, sexual orientation, or criminal history). If such information is inadvertently provided to us, we will delete it as soon as we become aware of it.
We may allow advertising partners (“Advertisers”) to select the audiences that will see their advertisements based on aggregated or de-identified information. Where permitted by law, we may use limited demographic or location information -for example, your general location (such as “Paris”)- to deliver relevant ads. We do not share Personal Information with Advertisers in a form that directly identifies you unless you have provided your consent or such sharing is otherwise permitted by applicable law.
We may work with advertising networks that use technologies such as cookies, pixels, and web beacons to provide reporting, measurement, and ad personalization. When your browser requests content from these networks, they may set or read their own cookies and collect device or browser information as allowed under applicable privacy laws. You can manage or disable cookies and similar technologies through your browser settings or, where required, through our consent management tools.
In certain cases, we may offer products or services jointly with affiliated businesses or third-party partners. When you choose to engage with these services, we may share your Personal Information with these partners only as necessary to provide the service or complete the transaction, and only under contractual terms that require them to protect your information.
Some features may allow you to connect or transfer information between your profile and third-party accounts (e.g., authentication providers or social networks). Any Personal Information processed by third-party websites or services is subject to their own privacy practices. We encourage you to review their policies carefully before engaging in any transaction.
We engage service providers, contractors, and agents to perform services on our behalf, such as hosting, analytics, customer support, payment processing, and security. These service providers may access Personal Information only to the extent necessary to perform their duties, and they are contractually obligated to protect your information and to use it solely for the purpose of providing services to us.
Certain profile information -such as your name, display photo, username, media you upload, and other details you choose to share- may be visible to other users depending on your privacy settings and the functionality of the Services.
Any Personal Information or content you voluntarily disclose in public areas of the Services (e.g., forums, comments, chat, or public profiles) becomes publicly accessible and may be collected, viewed, or used by others. Exercise caution when sharing information publicly.
If you choose to sign in using a third-party account (such as a social network), we may import your contacts or “friends list” into the Services where permitted by the third-party service. Those contacts who also use our Services may be able to view certain non-public information consistent with your privacy settings. We do not control the privacy practices of third-party services.
If we undergo a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, reorganization, asset sale, or bankruptcy, Personal Information may be transferred as part of the transaction, subject to applicable privacy laws. In such cases, we will ensure that the recipient continues to safeguard your Personal Information consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable legal requirements.
We may access, preserve, or disclose Personal Information where we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to:
This may include sharing information with law-enforcement authorities, fraud-prevention organizations, or other relevant entities as permitted by law.
We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. The specific measures we use depend on the type of information and the nature of our processing activities, and are intended to meet applicable legal and industry standards.
Your account is protected by a password or, if you sign in through a third-party service (such as a social media or identity provider), by that service’s authentication controls. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for restricting access to your device. Please sign out when you finish using your account and notify us immediately if you believe your account has been compromised.
Although we take reasonable steps to safeguard your Personal Information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
The Services may contain links to third-party websites or services. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices of such third parties. When you leave our Services, we encourage you to review the privacy policies of any website or service you visit.
Through your Account Settings, you may access, and, in some cases, edit or delete the following information you’ve provided to us. The information you can view, update, and delete may change as the Services change. If you have any questions about viewing or updating information we have on file about you, please contact us.
You may choose not to provide certain information; however, some Personal Information is necessary to create an account or use certain features of the Services. Without this information, some functionality may be limited or unavailable.
As described in the “Accessing and Updating Your Information” section, you may be able to add, update, or delete certain Personal Information through your account settings. When you make changes, we may retain copies of the original information in our operational records where required for legitimate business purposes, such as maintaining accurate archives, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, or enforcing agreements.
Please note that some information may continue to exist in backup or archival copies for a period of time after you delete it from your account. We may continue to use aggregated or de-identified data that does not identify you, even if it was derived from information you have updated or deleted.
Our Services are not directed to or intended for use by children. We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or process Personal Information from (a) children under the age of 13, or (b) children under the age of digital consent applicable in their country of residence. If you are below the relevant age of digital consent, please do not attempt to register, create an account, or provide any Personal Information to us.
If we become aware that we have collected Personal Information from a child below the applicable age without verified parental or guardian consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information and terminate the associated account. If you believe a child has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time with or without notice to you. Your use of the Services following such amendment constitutes your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy as modified as well as any past, present, or future modifications, including retroactively effective modifications. You are bound by any changes to the Privacy Policy when you use the Services.
