Showcase operates a content discovery service and related platform features available through the web at Showcasedaily.com, on mobile devices and tablets, and other electronic devices (the "Showcase Service" or "Service"). As used in this policy, "Showcase" refers to Showcase Ventures, Inc. and its subsidiaries. This policy applies to all Showcase-authorized operations of the Service. We may refer to Showcase as "we", "us", or "our". We may refer to you as "listener", "you", or "your". The purpose of this policy is to inform you about the information we collect, how we use and share that information, and the ways in which you can control how we use and share that information. By submitting your information through our Service, you agree to the terms of this policy and you expressly consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information in accordance with this policy.

 

Information Showcase Collects

 

User-provided Information: You may now or in the future provide a variety of information about yourself to us, such as your name, email address, postal mailing address, telephone number, credit card number, and billing information when you register for a Showcase Service; upload, purchase, view, or download certain content or products from the Showcase Service, enter contests or sweepstakes; or otherwise use the features and functionality of the Showcase Service.

 

Payment Information: If you choose to purchase product or services, or subscribe to fee-based portions of the Service, you will also be asked to provide (at a minimum) your name and credit card information ("Payment Information").

 

Information You Choose to Provide to Showcase: You have the ability to provide a variety of information during your interactions with us and the Showcase Service, such as emails you may send us, polls or surveys you choose to participate in, and emails or newsletters that you sign up to receive. Showcase or third parties acting on our behalf receive data from you whenever you provide us with any of this type of information.

 

Listening Activity: When you use the Service, we keep track of your listening activity, which may include the number and title of songs you have listened to, the songs that you favorite, and how long you listen.

 

Technical Information: As is true of many internet-enabled services, Showcase may collect certain non-personally identifiable technical information through the use of log files and servers. Web and application servers create log files automatically as part of their setup and configuration. Information in a log file may include IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, date/time stamps, MAC address, file requested, and other usage information and statistics.

 

Device Information: If you access and use the Service from a computer, mobile phone, tablet, or other electronic device, we may collect information about those devices. For example, our servers receive and store information about your computer and browser, including your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, and other related software or hardware information. If you access the Service from a mobile phone, tablet, or other electronic device, we may collect and store information such as device type, operating system version and type, unique identifiers (such as Android Advertising ID, VIN, MAC address, and IDFA), carrier, and other related information for that device.

 

Location Information: As part of registration for the Showcase Service, we may collect and you agree to provide us with, and allow us to use, your zip or postal code. Additionally, we may collect and use approximated or real-time location information, such as GPS location, from devices you use to access the Showcase Service. We will provide you with notice and an opportunity to consent before we access and collect your real-time location information, and depending on your device manufacturer, you may have the ability to revoke this consent at any time.

 

Automatically Collected Information: When you access the Showcase Service or open one of our emails, we may automatically record and store certain information about your system by using cookies and other types of technologies. Information we automatically collect may also include Internet Protocol address ("IP Address"), a unique user ID, device type, device identifiers, browser types and language, referring and exit page addresses, platform type, version of software installed, system type, the content and pages that you access on the Showcase Service, the number of clicks made, the amount of time spent on pages, the dates and times that you visit the Showcase Service, and other similar information. Examples of how Showcase uses automatically collected information include to: (a) automatically update the Showcase application on your system; (b) remember your information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you access the Showcase Service; (c) provide customized advertisements, content, and information; (d) monitor the effectiveness of marketing campaigns; (e) monitor and store aggregate site usage metrics such as total number of visitors and pages accessed; and (f) track your entries, submissions, and status in any promotions or other activities.

 

Our use of cookies: Showcase uses a technology that is commonly known as "cookies." A cookie is a file our server writes to your hard drive that contains an alphanumeric identifier. We use the identifier in a cookie to help us manage and report on your interaction with the Service. Through cookies, we are able to collect information that we use to improve the Service, keep count of return visits to our website or our partners' websites, collect and report on aggregate statistical information, authenticate your login credentials, or manage multiple instances of the Service in a single browser. We may also collect other data such as the page or site that referred you to the Service, the date and time you visited the Service, and your current IP address. The cookies we place on your hard drive are known as "first-party cookies." We use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie expires when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. You may be able to remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your browser's "help" section. If you do not accept first-party cookies you may still use our Service, but your ability to use some areas of our website, and the ability to stay logged in, will be limited.

 

Information from Other Sources: We may obtain information about you from third parties and sources other than the Showcase Service, such as advertisers or social media networks for which you have approved our access to information (e.g., information from your Facebook account provided by the Facebook APIs). When you access the Showcase Service through social media networks or when you connect a Showcase Service to social media networks, you are authorizing Showcase to collect, store, and use such information and content in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We may also obtain information from third party services regarding your use of such services, including about your use of the content you choose to broadcast through the Showcase Service. If we combine or associate information from other sources with information that we collect through the Showcase Service, we will treat the combined information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

 

How Showcase Uses Information

We use your email address for administrative communications such as notifying you of major Showcase Service updates, for customer service purposes, or contacting you regarding any content that you have posted to or downloaded from the Showcase Service.

When Showcase Discloses Information

 

Showcase does not share information that can identify you personally with third parties for their own marketing or promotional uses without your consent. We may share such information for the following purposes:

 

We may disclose such information to service providers working on our behalf, such as, to: provide website hosting, maintenance, and security services; fulfill orders; conduct data analysis and create reports; offer certain functionality; or assist Showcase in improving the Showcase Service and creating new services and features. We require that these parties process such information in compliance with this Privacy Policy, we authorize them to use the information only for the purposes for which it is provided to them, and we require these parties to use reasonable confidentiality measures.

 

If you connect to a third party service (such as Facebook, Google, or another third-party application) through an icon or link on the Showcase Service or otherwise link your Showcase account with a third party service, we may share information (such as your user name, the fact that your connection originated from the Showcase Service, and other relevant usage and diagnostic information) with such third party. With your consent, we may also send information about the content you watch or your activities on the Showcase Service to such third parties. The third party's use of your information will be subject to that service's privacy policy and this Privacy Policy will not apply.

Showcase may make information available to our affiliates (meaning entities controlled by, controlling, or under common control with Showcase).

 

Showcase may disclose user information if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with U.S. state and federal laws or other applicable laws around the world (for example, in the country of your residence); or respond to a court order, judicial or other government subpoena, or warrant in the manner legally required.

 

Showcase also reserves the right to disclose information that we believe, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to: take precautions against liability to Showcase; protect Showcase from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful uses; investigate and defend ourselves against third party claims, or allegations to protect the security or integrity of the Showcase Service; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Showcase, our users, or others.

Data Security

 

Showcase uses a variety of managerial, technical, and physical measures to protect the integrity and security of your information. These measures may vary based on the sensitivity of your information. However, no security precautions or systems can be completely secure. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to Showcase, and you do so at your own risk. We cannot guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

 

Children's Privacy

 

IF YOU ARE UNDER 13 YEARS OF AGE, THEN PLEASE DO NOT USE OR ACCESS THE SHOWCASE SERVICE AT ANY TIME OR IN ANY MANNER.

 

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. For that reason, Showcase does not knowingly collect or maintain personal information from persons under 13 years-of-age. If Showcase learns that personal information of persons under 13-years-of-age has been collected on or through the Showcase Service, Showcase will take the appropriate steps to delete this information.

 

If you are the parent or legal guardian of a child under 13 who has become a Showcase Service member, then please contact Showcase at privacy@showcasedaily.com to have that child's account terminated and personal information deleted.

 

Merger or Sale

 

In the event that Showcase, or some or all assets related to the Showcase Service are acquired by or merged with a third-party entity or in connection with a contemplated change of ownership transaction, we reserve the right, in any of these circumstances, to transfer or assign the information that we have collected from users as part of that merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control event.

 

Changes and Updates to this Privacy Policy

 

Showcase reserves the right to change, modify, add, or remove portions of this Privacy Policy at any time (for example to reflect updates to the Showcase Service or to reflect changes in the law).

 

If Showcase changes this Privacy Policy, we will provide you notice of these changes, such as by sending an email, posting a notice on the Showcase Service, or updating the "Last Modified" date above. Please check this Privacy Policy periodically for those changes. Your continued use of the Showcase Service after the posting of changes constitutes your binding acceptance of such changes.

 

Showcase Contact Information

If you are a California resident, you may have this same information emailed to you by sending a letter to the foregoing address with your email address and a request for this information.

 

California Privacy Rights and "Do Not Track"

 

California law permits users who are California residents to request and obtain from us once a year, free of charge, a list of the third parties to whom we have disclosed their personal information (if any) for their direct marketing purposes in the prior calendar year, as well as the type of personal information disclosed to those parties. Showcase does not currently disclose personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

 

California Business & Professions Code Section 22575(b) provides that California residents are entitled to know how we respond to "Do Not Track" browser settings. Like many other websites and online services, we do not currently alter our practices when we receive Do Not Track signals as there is no consensus among industry participants as to what "Do Not Track" means in this context.
