Please review your web browser "Help" file to learn the proper way to modify your cookie settings.
Your User ID. Your User ID is displayed throughout the JamLegend Platform and is therefore available to the public.

2. The Way JamLegend Uses Information:

JamLegend uses all of the information that we collect to understand the usage trends and preferences of our Users, to improve the way the JamLegend Platform works and looks, to create new features and functionality.
JamLegend may use "Automatically Collected" information and "Cookies" information to: (a) automatically update the JamLegend 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 JamLegend Platform; (c) provide customized third-party advertisements, content and information; (d) monitor and report on the effectiveness of third-party marketing campaigns; (e) monitor and report aggregate usage metrics such as total number of visitors and pages accessed; and (f) provide such metrics to Users as they pertain to such User’s uploaded content; and (g) track your entries, submissions, and status in any promotions or other activities.
3. When JamLegend Discloses Information:
JamLegend does not share your personally identifiable information with other organizations for their marketing or promotional uses without your prior express consent. Please be aware, however, that any personally identifiable information that you voluntarily choose to display on any publicly available portion of the JamLegend Platform – such as when you publish contact information to complete your profile information – becomes publicly available and may be collected and used by others without restriction.
JamLegend may disclose Automatically Collected and other aggregate non-personally-identifiable information (such as IP addresses, anonymous User usage data, listening preferences, referring / exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with interested third parties to assist those parties in understanding the usage and demographic patterns for certain content, services, advertisements, promotions, or other functionality on the JamLegend Platform.
We may disclose some limited User information to affiliated companies or other businesses or persons to: provide web site hosting, maintenance, and security services; fulfill orders; conduct data analysis and create reports; offer certain functionality; and assist JamLegend in improving the JamLegend Platform and creating new services features. We contractually require that these parties process such information in compliance with this Privacy Policy, we authorize only a limited use of such information, and we require these parties to use reasonable confidentiality measures.
JamLegend may disclose User information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with state and federal laws (such as U.S. copyright or trademark law) or respond to a court order, judicial or other government subpoena, or warrant in the manner required by the requesting entity.
JamLegend also reserves the right to disclose User information that we believe, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to take precautions against liability; enforce our Terms of Use; protect JamLegend from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful uses; to investigate and defend ourselves against third-party claims or allegations; to assist government enforcement agencies; to protect the security or integrity of the JamLegend Platform; or to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of JamLegend, our Users, or others.
4. Your Choices and Access to your Personal Information
You may, of course, decline to share your personally-identifiable information with JamLegend, in which case JamLegend will not be able to provide to you some of the features and functionality found on the JamLegend Platform. You may view, update, correct, or delete your user information and preferences by contacting us at privacy@JamLegend.com
To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting you account access or making corrections to your information. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE SECRECY OF YOUR UNIQUE PASSWORD AND ACCOUNT INFORMATION AT ALL TIMES.
5. Advertisers
JamLegend allows other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to serve advertisements within the JamLegend Platform. These third-party ad servers or ad networks may use technology to send, directly to your browser, the advertisements that appear within the JamLegend Platform and they automatically receive your IP Address and other automatically collected information when this happens. Such third-party ad servers may also use other technologies (such as cookies, javascript, or web beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize their advertising content.
JamLegend does not provide your personally identifiable information to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent. However, please note that if an advertiser asks JamLegend to show an advertisement to a certain audience or audience segment and you respond to that advertisement, the advertiser or ad-server may conclude that you fit the description of the audience that they were trying to reach.
You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers or ad networks. This Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other advertisers or web sites. JamLegend reserves the right the add or remove third-party ad networks or ad servers in its discretion and JamLegend may not at all times list such updated ad network or ad server partners in this Privacy Policy.
6. Our Commitment to Data Security:
JamLegend uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your personal information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to JamLegend, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission of information, JamLegend makes commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.
If JamLegend learns of a security systems breach, then we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. JamLegend may post a notice on the JamLegend Platform if a security breach occurs. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing. To receive a free written notice of a security breach you should notify us at privacy@JamLegend.com.

If JamLegend learns that personally-identifiable information of persons less than 13-years-of-age has been collected on or through the JamLegend Platform, then JamLegend 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 JamLegend Platform member, then please contact JamLegend at privacy@JamLegend.com to have that child’s account terminated and information deleted.
