|
|
At Karaoke-Downloads.net your privacy is our top priority. Please
read our privacy policy details. |

1. |
Overview |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our Internet Web
store allows you to buy products and services, sign up for a gift
certificates and coupons, receive special discounts, and receive
newsletters, e-mails or other promotional information from us. We
use the information that we collect about you to fulfill your
product and service purchases and to create a more personalized
online experience. This is just a brief overview, so please read on
for more details about our Privacy Policy. This Policy may change
from time to time, so please check back periodically. Except as
limited below, we reserve the right to use or disclose your
personally identifiable information for business reasons in whatever
manner desired |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Except as
otherwise discussed in this Privacy Policy, this document only
addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you
online. We encourage you to ask questions and to be very cautious
before you disclose your personal information to others.

2. |
What
information do we collect from you? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to better provide you with
numerous products and services, we collect two types of information
about its visitors: Personally Identifiable Information and
Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Our primary goal in
collecting information from you is to provide you with a smooth,
efficient, and customized experience while using our site.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Personally Identifiable Information |
|
|
|
This refers to information that lets
us know the specifics of who you are. Personal information is
requested when you register and set up an account, order a product
or service, register for a Gift List, enter contests or sweepstakes,
fill out surveys, and send us feedback. For example, this
information might include your name, billing address, shipping
address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card or other
payment information, and product details. With this information, we
can fill your orders and better provide you with personalized
services. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Non-Personally Identifiable
Information |
|
|
|
This refers to information that does
not by itself identify a specific individual. We gather certain
information about you based upon where you shop on our site in
several ways. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a
personal and an aggregated basis. For example, this information may
include the Web site's Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") that you
just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are
using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address. A URL is the
global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide
Web. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ("TCP/IP") network,
such as the World Wide Web. Networks like the Web use the TCP/IP
protocol to route information based on the IP address of the
destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is
automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the
web, allowing web servers to locate and identify your computer.
Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on
the Internet, browse and shop. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On an aggregated basis, we collect
anonymous data related to the pages, products, downloads and other
content that is sampled, clicked on, streamed, searched for,
transferred from and downloaded. Except as otherwise limited in this
Policy, we may not disclose, sell, trade, or rent Non-Personally
Identifiable Information to others without your consent.

are owned and operated by third parties. The information practices
of those websites linking from or to our site are not covered by

change, or delete the information that you have submitted. You may
change any of your personal information in your account online at
any time. We encourage you to promptly update your information if it
changes. You may ask to have the information on your account deleted
or removed; however, because we keep track of past purchases, you
cannot delete information associated with past purchases. Also, as a
security measure we "back up" the data stored on our systems, and
such prior information cannot be completely removed from our
databases. As a result, you should not expect that all of your
Personally Identifiable Information will be completely removed from
our backed-up databases. |

and third-party use of "cookies" and "action tags." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cookies: |
|
|
|
When you use our site we will store
cookies on your computer in order to facilitate and customize your
use of our site. A cookie is a small data text file, which a Web
site stores on your computer's hard drive (if your Web browser
permits) that can later be retrieved to identify you to Karaoke-Downloads.net.
Our cookies store randomly assigned user identification numbers, the
country where you are located, and your first name to welcome you
back to our site. The cookies make your use of the site easier,
allow you to retrieve an earlier shopping cart, make the site run
more smoothly and help us to maintain a secure site. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Website Analysis Agent Cookies: |
|
|
|
We may use a third party to analyze
what our visitors find to be most interesting on our site. To do
that, they will place a cookie on your computer with a randomly
assigned unique number in order to track the pages you view on our
site, along with other Non-Personally Identifiable Information.

|
Action Tags, Web Beacons and other
Data Collection Methods: |
|
|
|
An action tag or a web-beacon (also
known as a clear gif or a pixel tag) is a method used to track
responses or actions by customers who view certain advertisements or
other information on our site. Action tags are 1x1 pixel images
embedded in a website page that are used to transparently collect
information. Our ad server, content servers, affiliate program
manager and website analysis agents may use action tags to count the
number of times that visitors click on a particular banner ad or
visit the pages of our site and to provide information about what
products are viewed or purchased. Without collecting any personally
identifiable information, they use that data to tell us (and other
advertisers) which ads are the most effective on particular sites.
Our ad server, content server, affiliate program manager and website
analysis agents may use an action tag on our basket page, checkout
page, and other pages, to keep anonymous track of the number of
times that clicking on a banner ad or views other information on our
site results in a purchase. They also collect the amount of the
purchase, order confirmation number, stock keeping unit number,
quantity and identity of product purchased. |
