Classical Connect, LLC. (“CC” or “we”) operates CC.com. This Privacy Policy describes CC’s use and potential sharing of personally identifiable information (your full name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, or credit card number) that Members voluntarily provide to CC when they register (also known as “Registration Data” or “RD”). The Term “User” refers to You as a Visitor or a Member. This Privacy Policy applies to all services offered by CC through the ClassicalConnect.com web site and any other ancillary uses and applications that may be included with the any CC user services or membership or derived therefrom (CC Services).
The CC Website is a general audience site and does not knowingly collect RD from children under 13 years of age.
From time to time CC may modify this Privacy Policy to reflect industry initiatives or changes in the law, our RD collection and use practices, the features of the CC Services, or technology, and such modifications shall be effective upon posting by CC on the CC Website. Your continued use of the CC Services after CC posts a revised Privacy Policy signifies your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. It is therefore important that you review this Privacy Policy regularly to ensure you are updated as to any changes. If CC materially changes its practices regarding collection or use of your RD, your RD will continue to be governed by the Policy under which it was collected unless you have been provided notice of, and have not objected to, the change.
1. CC’S COLLECTION OF REGISTRATION DATA AND NON-REGISTRATION DATA
GENERAL. When CC collects RD from you it is because you are voluntarily submitting Registration Data to us in order to register as a Member of CC. CC may also collect RD from you if you choose to participate in CC Services activities like sweepstakes, contests, and surveys, because you want us to furnish you with products, services, newsletters, or information, or in connection with content or suggestions you submit to CC for review.
In addition, CC collects other non-Registration Data including IP address, aggregate user RD, and browser type. This information is used to manage and improve the CC Services, track usage, and for security purposes.
CC Members may also choose to provide or store non-RD information in their profiles, including but not limited to date of birth, interests, hobbies, lifestyle choices, groups with whom they are affiliated (schools, companies), videos and/or pictures, private messages, bulletins or personal statements (collectively “Profile Information”). The Profile Information in a Member’s profile is provided at his or her sole discretion. CC Members can change their Registration RD and Profile Information at any time and can control how Visitors, other Members and CC communicate with them by controlling their account settings.
COOKIES. Cookies are small bits of information that CC places on your computer to identify your Internet browser, store Users’ preferences, and determine whether you have installed the enabling software needed to access certain material on the CC Services. RD in cookies may be read to authenticate user sessions or provide services.
Third party advertisements displayed on CC Services may also contain cookies set by Internet advertising companies or advertisers (known as “third party cookies”). CC does not control these third party cookies and Users of the CC Services should check the privacy policy of the Internet advertising company or advertiser to see whether and how it uses cookies. A pixel tag is a tiny image inserted in a webpage and used to record the number and types of views for that page. CC may allow third party pixel tags to be present on CC Services for purposes of advertising, providing services or RD and statistics collection.
You can program your computer to warn you each time a cookie is being sent, block third party cookies or block all cookies. However, by blocking all cookies you may not have access to certain features on the CC Services.
2. NOTICE: CC’S REGISTRATION DATA COLLECTION PRACTICES
When you voluntarily provide RD to CC, we will make sure you are informed about who is collecting the information, how and why the information is being collected and the types of uses CC will make of the information to the extent it is being used in a manner that differs from what is allowed pursuant to this Privacy Policy.
CC Services may be linked to Internet sites operated by other companies and may also carry advertisements from other companies. CC is not responsible for the privacy practices of websites or other services operated by third parties that are linked to or integrated with the CC Services or for the privacy practices of third party Internet advertising companies. Once you leave CC Services via such a link, access a third party application or click on an advertisement, you should check the applicable privacy policy of the third party or advertiser site to determine, among other things, how they will handle any RD they collect from you. CC Services may also be linked to sites operated by companies affiliated with CC. Users who visit those Affiliated Company sites should still refer to their separate privacy policies and practices, which may differ in some respects from this Privacy Policy.
CC may use cookies and similar tools to customize the content and advertising you receive based on the Profile Information you have provided. The information used for this feature does not provide your RD or identify you as an individual to third parties. If you would like to disable advertising customization for Non-Structured Profile Information, please send us a message at privacy@classicalconnect.com.
Third party applications (such as widgets) created by third party developers may also be available on the CC Services. When a Member engages with a third party application, that Member is interacting with the third party developer, not with CC. CC encourages Members not to provide RD to the third party’s application unless the Member knows the party with whom it is interacting.
3. CHOICE: CC WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH CHOICES ABOUT THE USE OF YOUR REGSITRATION DATA
Except as described in this Privacy Policy, CC will get your permission before we use the RD you provide to us in a way that is inconsistent with the purpose for which it was submitted or share your RD with third parties that are not affiliated with CC.
4. USE: CC'S USE OF REGISTRATION DATA
CC will only use the RD you provide under this Privacy Policy in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. If CC obtains RD from a third party, such as a business partner, our use of that information is also governed by this Privacy Policy.
ClasicalConnect.com may allow Users to search for other CC Members using Registration Data (i.e., full name or email address) or browse for certain Profile Information in order to help connect with Members (i.e., schools and/or companies where Users may have attended or worked). CC may also enable Members to publicly display some Registration Data as an element of their Profile Information if they choose to do so via a profile setting under “Edit Profile.” Search engines may index the portion of a Member’s profile (including the Profile Information it contains) that is publicly displayed.
If you have consented to receive promotional materials (e.g., newsletters) or notifications from CC, CC may periodically use your email address to send you such materials related to the CC Services, as applicable. If you want to stop receiving such materials from CC, you can change your profile settings under “Account Settings,” or follow the unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email.
CC employees, agents and contractors must have a business reason to obtain access to your RD. CC may share your RD with those who help us manage or provide CC Services’ information activities (for example, message board administration, order fulfillment, statistical analyses, RD processing), or with outside contractors, agents or sponsors who help us with the administration, judging and prize fulfillment aspects of contests, promotions and sweepstakes.
These outside contractors, agents or sponsors may temporarily store some information on their servers, but they may only use your RD to provide CC with a specific service and not for any other purpose. CC may also provide your RD to a third party in those instances where you have chosen to receive certain information and have been notified that the fulfillment of such a request requires the sharing of your RD. CC also may share your RD with Affiliated Companies if it has a business reason to do so.
As described in “Notice” above, CC may customize the advertising and marketing messages you receive on the CC Website, or may work with outside companies to do so. Your non-RD and/or Profile Information may be shared with these companies so this customization can be accomplished. CC prohibits these companies from sharing your non-RD and/or Profile Information with any third party or from using it for any other purpose. Anonymous click stream, number of page views calculated by pixel tags, and aggregated demographic information may also be shared with CC’s advertisers and business partners.
There may be instances when CC may access or disclose RD, Profile Information or non-RD without providing you a choice in order to: (i) protect or defend the legal rights or property of CC, our Affiliated Companies or their employees, agents and contractors (including enforcement of our agreements); (ii) protect the safety and security of Users of the CC Services or members of the public including acting in urgent circumstances; (iii) protect against fraud or for risk management purposes; or (iv) comply with the law or legal process. In addition, if CC sells all or part of its business or makes a sale or transfer of all or a material part of its assets or is otherwise involved in a merger or transfer of all or a material part of its business, CC may transfer your RD to the party or parties involved in the transaction as part of that transaction.
When a Member who is located in the European Union chooses to post Profile Information that will be publicly disclosed, that Member is responsible for ensuring that such information conforms to all local RD protection laws. CC is not responsible under the EU local RD protection laws for Member-posted information.
5. SECURITY: CC PROTECTS THE SECURITY OF REGSITRATION DATA
CC uses commercially reasonable administrative, technical, personnel and physical measures to safeguard RD and credit card information in its possession against loss, theft and unauthorized use, disclosure or modification. In addition, CC uses reasonable methods to make sure that RD is accurate, up-to-date and appropriately complete.
6. ACCESS, REMEDIES AND COMPLIANCE: HOW TO EDIT YOUR PREFERENCES REGARDING YOUR RD AND HOW TO CONTACT CC ABOUT PRIVACY CONCERNS
Whenever possible, CC Members may review the Registration RD we maintain about them in our records. We will take reasonable steps to correct any RD a Member informs us is incorrect. If you are a Member, you can view and change your Registration RD, Member preferences and Profile Information by logging into your account and accessing features such as “Edit Profile” and “Account Settings.”
If you ask CC to stop using your RD, CC will honor that request while retaining any record of your RD that is necessary to comply with applicable federal, state or local law.
If you would like to communicate with us about this Privacy Policy or CC’s collection and use of your RD please contact CC at: privacy@classicalconnect.com.
