Privacy Policy

This Privacy Statement explains how Melodive Music and Melodive Productions L.L.C handle and protect your personal information. This policy may be modified occasionally. We urge visitors and users of our websites to examine our Privacy Policy on a frequent basis.

This Privacy Policy, as revised from time to time, shall apply to any “Personal Information” that we collect and keep. The term “personal data” refers to any information that may be used to identify, contact, or find the individual to whom the information relates.

Personal Information Collection

As a Site visitor, you may participate in a variety of activities without submitting Personal Information. As a Melodive Productions subscriber, we may collect the following Personal Information from you when you register for a Melodive Productions site and buy products or services:

Contact details including your name, phone number, address, and email address, as well as a scan of a government-issued ID (information will be retained securely for the purpose of policing copyright violations, fraud, and other illicit actions);
Credit card billing information including address, card number, expiry date, and billing address;
Information about yourself, such as your occupation title, job description, and the name and type of company where you work; and
Profile information, such as your username and password, as well as data about your transactions and the Content you license from us.

If you submit content for licensing to Melodive Productions, you may be required to include the following information:

Contact details like your name, phone number, main address, and email address.
Melodive Productions may validate this information by requesting you to do one of the following: a) upload a scanned copy of a government-issued identification card (which will be kept securely on our servers); or b) submit your credit card information. Your credit card information will only be used to validate your identity and address. The credit card information will not be saved.
Payment and contributor data, including, but not restricted to, payment method, payout email, preferred display name, content focus, and skill level process information.

Depending on the activity, some of the information we ask you to supply is indicated as obligatory, while some are marked as optional. If you do not supply the required information for a specific activity, you will be unable to participate in that activity.

As is the case with the vast majority of websites, when you use the Site, Melodive Productions or third-party subprocessors engaged by Melodive Productions may collect some technical and routing information about your computer. This information is collected to support your use of the Site and the services it provides.

For instance, we may keep a record of environmental factors like the kind of browser you use, the operating system you run, the speed of your central processing unit (CPU), and the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your machine. These environmental factors are used to support and monitor your usage of the website and its services. Melodive Productions also measures traffic patterns on the Site using these environmental data. In order to better comprehend the requirements of our Site users, we may periodically match this information with your Personal Information.

When you download and use our mobile applications or services, we automatically gather information about the kind of device you are using as well as the version of the operating system that you are running on that device. When you download or use our Mobile Apps or Services, we never request, access, or monitor any location-based information from your mobile device.

Personal Information and Privacy Preferences Updating

Upon receipt of your request, Melodive Productions will provide you with information on whether or not we keep any of your personal information or manage any of it on behalf of a third party. Please contact us if you need this information. You have complete control over your Personal Information and privacy settings and can make changes or have them deleted at any time. You may do so by contacting us.

Melodive Productions may, under some circumstances, be obliged to reveal personal information in response to valid demands made by public authorities. These requests may be made, for example, to fulfill obligations pertaining to national security or law enforcement.

We may also share your information if we believe that doing so is necessary for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other problems of public significance.

Sharing Information with Service Providers / Agents

Melodive Music utilizes one or more external credit card processing providers to charge customers for their purchases. These organizations do not, to the best of our knowledge, keep, share, store, or utilize any personally identifiable information for any other reason. We do not sell or otherwise distribute Personal Information to other parties for the purpose of promoting their own products or services.

Choice / Opt Out

You can stop getting email updates, newsletters, and/or partner communications from Melodive Productions by sending us an email. Generally, the option to opt out of receiving such notifications is also given throughout the registration process. Melodive Productions will continue to notify you whenever the Terms of Service or Submitter Terms of Service change. In addition, we will continue to send you service-related notifications, such as an email confirming your registration, emails informing you of your benefits, emails automatically prompted by activities you did on the Site, and alerts relating to your bills. In general, it is not possible to opt out of these non-promotional mailings. You may opt out of receiving them by contacting us.

Security of Your Private Information

The Personal Information you supply in conjunction with your use of the Site is safeguarded in many ways.

Your account profile can only be accessed by using a password and a unique customer ID that you create. You should use a password that is strong, alpha-numeric, and not reveal it to anybody.
Your Personally Identifiable Information is stored on secure servers, and only certain employees and contractors of Melodive Productions have the passwords necessary to access those systems.
When you provide personal information to Melodive Productions, it is encrypted.
On our registration and order forms, we encrypt your sensitive information (such as your credit card number) using transport layer security technology.

We make every effort to safeguard the Personal Information given to us, both during transmission and after received. However, neither Internet transmission nor electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely safe. While we take the sensitivity of the Personal Information we collect, manage, and store into account, as well as the current state of technology, we cannot guarantee the complete security of your Personal Information.

If you have any issues concerning the security of our Web sites, please contact us through email.

It is possible that the Site collects information as you browse, including but not limited to your Internet Service Provider, browser type and version (including operating system and device type), average time spent on our site(s), pages viewed, information accessed, and your Internet Protocol (IP) address. This kind of data is also known as web analytics and/or clickstream data.

This automatically obtained log information may be combined with other information we gather about you. This is done to improve the services we give you, as well as to enhance marketing, analytics, and site functioning.
