We automatically collect certain technical information for security, operation, analytics, and improvement purposes, including:

We may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies (see Section 6). We do not use invasive tools like full session recordings without consent.

Information from Third Parties

We may receive information from third-party providers (e.g., payment processors like Stripe, analytics tools, or social login providers) as described elsewhere in this policy.

2. How Do We Use Your Information?

We use personal information for:

Providing, operating, and improving the Services (e.g., account management, music distribution, community features, education/coaching)
Communicating with you (administrative messages, updates, security alerts, responses to inquiries)

For EU/EEA users, processing is based on: contract performance (e.g., providing Services), legitimate interests (e.g., analytics/security), consent (e.g., marketing cookies), or legal obligations.

3. SMS / Text Messaging Program

In Short: We send text messages only to people who opt in, and we never sell or share your mobile opt-in information with third parties for their marketing.

If you opt in to receive text messages from Digital Music Alliance Inc. (“MusicAlliance.com”), we collect and use your mobile phone number to send you SMS messages.

How you opt in: You provide express consent to receive text messages by submitting your mobile number and affirmatively checking the SMS consent box during signup at members.musicalliance.com or on your account settings page. The consent box is unchecked by default. We retain a record of each consent, including the date and time it was given.

Types of messages: The messages may include event and live-stream announcements, membership and subscription notices, contest and program updates (such as Song Sharks), and account-related alerts.

Message frequency and rates: Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Consent to receive marketing or promotional text messages is not a condition of purchasing any goods or services.

Opting out and getting help: You can opt out at any time by replying STOP (or UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, or QUIT) to any message; we will send one confirmation message and then stop sending you texts, except as needed to process your opt-out. Reply HELP for assistance, or contact us at support@musicalliance.com.

No sharing of mobile opt-in data: We will not sell, rent, lease, or share your mobile phone number or SMS opt-in information with any third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. Mobile information collected as part of SMS consent is used solely to deliver the messages you have requested from MusicAlliance.com and is shared only with the service providers that help us operate the messaging program (for example, our SMS messaging provider), and only to the extent necessary to deliver those messages or as required by law. This SMS opt-in data limitation controls over any more general description of sharing elsewhere in this policy.

4. Will Your Information Be Shared With Anyone?

In Short: We share information only as described, with your consent, or as required.

We share information in these circumstances:

With your consent
To comply with laws, legal processes, or government requests
To enforce our Terms, protect rights/safety, or detect fraud
With service providers (see Section 5)
In business transfers (e.g., mergers)

Mobile phone numbers and SMS opt-in information are subject to the additional limitation described in Section 3 and are not shared for third-party or affiliate marketing.

8. How Do We Handle Your Social Logins?

If you register/login via social media (e.g., Facebook, Google), we access limited profile data as permitted by your settings and their policies. We use it only for authentication and Services.

9. Is Your Information Transferred Internationally?

In Short: Yes, to the US; we use safeguards for international transfers.

Our servers are in the United States. For EU/EEA users, transfers use adequate mechanisms (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses, adequacy decisions). We ensure equivalent protection.

10. How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

In Short: As long as necessary for purposes, or as required by law.

We retain data only for legitimate needs (e.g., providing Services, compliance). Upon account deletion or request, we delete/anonymize where possible (subject to legal retention).

11. How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?

In Short: We use reasonable technical/organizational measures, but no system is 100% secure.

We implement security safeguards (e.g., encryption, access controls). However, transmission risks exist—use at your own risk.

12. What Are Your Privacy Rights?

You have rights depending on your location:

General: Access, correction, deletion requests

13. Data Breach Notification

We notify you and authorities of breaches where required (e.g., GDPR: within 72 hours if high risk).

14. Controls for Do-Not-Track Features

We do not alter practices based on Do-Not-Track signals, as no uniform standard exists.
