Do Good Music is committed to protecting your privacy, just as we know you are. We appreciate the trust you put in us by sharing information with us, and we will guard your information carefully.

Do Good Music will never willfully disclose personally identifiable information about its customers to any third party without first receiving that customer's permission to do so, unless sharing it is necessary for legal reasons.

This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting Do Good Music you are accepting the practices described in this policy.

This policy is effective as of August 1, 2006.

What personal information does Do Good Music collect?
No personal information needs to be given to us in order for you to browse the Do Good Music web site, read many of the articles posted here, visit the Do Good Music weblog (blog), browse the Artist's Registry, or listen to certain podcasts.

In order to listen to paid podcasts, purchase products through Do Good Music, or subscribe to any of our newsletters, however, certain amounts of personally identifiable information are required.

Here is what we collect:

• Information you give us. We receive and store information you enter on our web site or give us in any other way. Examples of this information include your name, mailing address, phone number, music preferences, music related skills, and whether you have elected to receive mailings from us.
• Automatic information. We may receive and store certain types of information any time you interact with us. Like many other web sites, we use "cookies," and through those we obtain some information when you access Do Good Music through your web browser. Examples of this kind of information include the IP (Internet Protocol) address used to connect your computer to the Internet, your login and password, your e-mail address, your computer type, browser type and version, operating system, and your purchase history.

How does Do Good Music use the information it collects?
Our primary use of all the information we collect is to make the user experience at Do Good Music better. We analyze data and use it to improve our product offerings, to improve the usability of our site, and to communicate more effectively with our customers and visitors. We may also use information in aggregate form (not personally identifiable form) to assess trends in music and in the music industry.

Does Do Good Music share the information it collects?
The information our customers provide to us is an important part of our business, and we do not sell that information to others. We may share information as described below:

Personally identifiable information may be shared with:

• Subsidiaries of Do Good Music, Inc., which we control and are subject to this same privacy policy or follow practices at least as stringent as those listed here.
• Third party service providers. From time to time we employ outside individuals and companies to perform functions for us, including product fulfillment, sending of mail or e-mail, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, and so on. In such cases we provide only information needed for performing those functions, and the third parties are not allowed to use the information they receive in any other way than that for which they were engaged.
• Affiliates. In some cases Do Good Music works with other companies to sell a product jointly or to offer some other service jointly to our customers. We share information about product sales and purchasers of those jointly offered products with the appropriate affiliate. You will always be able to tell when an offer from Do Good Music includes an affiliate.

How secure is the information you collect?
The security of your personal information is important to us. Our web site protects sensitive information such as your login and credit card information using Internet industry standard encryption protocols to encrypt the information in transit.

No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

What if something changes?
Our privacy policy is kept up to date and always contains the effective date. If you are registered with us and our policy changes, you will receive notification of that change. Of course you can always view our privacy policy by visiting this web site.

Because our business, like many businesses, is always changing, it may be necessary for various policies to change as well. However we will not change our policies to make them less protective of our customers without the consent of all affected customers. Unless we have stated otherwise, this privacy policy applies to all information we have about you and your activity with us.

If you have any questions or concerns about your privacy in relation to Do Good Music, please contact us immediately using any of the information on our contact form.
