Our site is designed to enable you to share your information, which you provide when you register with us, with the music industry, media and the public: It becomes available to visitors to our site, save insofar as you have indicated in every content field’s privacy settings (access via pull-down menu with options of public, private, or logged in users). Whenever you place new information upon the site, you should reconsider your privacy settings. We also use your information for managing your registration and to personalise your visits to the site.
We may contact you from time to time with information about our site unless you have indicated that you do not wish to be contacted.
We may employ the services of a third party to help us in certain areas, such as website hosting. In some cases the third party may receive your information. However, at all times, we will control and be responsible for the use of your information.
We may use aggregated information for the purposes of tracking website usage of the website and in order to help us improve our website and for research and analysis purposes.

Your information may remain embedded in our underlying system, not because we wish to retain it but because it is impracticable to remove it totally.
