Privacy Policy
MogulTunes is founded on the principles of helping people to discover new music by
enabling them to share what they find interesting with one another. MogulTunes knows that you care
about how your personal information is used and shared, and we take your privacy very
seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy. By visiting
the MogulTunes website, you are accepting the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy covers MogulTunes' treatment of personal information that MogulTunes gathers when you
are on the MogulTunes website and when you use MogulTunes services. This policy does not apply to the
practices of third parties that MogulTunes does not own or control, or to individuals that MogulTunes
does not employ or manage.
Information Collected by MogulTunes
We only collect personal information that is relevant to the purpose of our
website, which is to enable users to discover and share music with one another. This
information allows us to provide you with a customized and efficient experience. We do not
process this information in a way that is incompatible with this objective. We collect
the following types of information from our MogulTunes users:
- Information You Provide to Us:
We receive and store any information you enter on our website or provide to us in any
other way. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not
be able to take advantage of many of our special features.
- Registration: In order for you to use MogulTunes services, such as submitting new music to the
website, you must complete a registration form. As part of this registration form, we
require select personal information (including your full name, city, state and e-mail
address).
- User Profile: To allow you to express yourself beyond just the information collected during
registration, we enable you to provide additional information, such as a bio, favorite websites, professional history
and instant messaging IDs. In addition, you may choose to include photos of yourself in
your profile. As indicated below, in the section titled "Sharing Your Information", you
can control how your information is displayed and used.
- Automatic Information:
- We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. MogulTunes and its
authorized agents automatically receive and record certain "traffic data" on their server
logs from your browser including your IP address, MogulTunes cookie information, and the page you
requested. MogulTunes uses this traffic data to help diagnose problems with its servers, analyze
trends and administer the website.
- MogulTunes may collect and, on any page, display the total counts that page has been viewed. This
includes User Profile pages.
- Many companies offer programs that help you to visit websites anonymously. While MogulTunes will
not be able to provide you with a personalized experience if we cannot recognize you, we
want you to be aware that these programs are available.
E-mail Communications
MogulTunes is very concerned about your privacy and we will never provide your email
address to a third party without your explicit permission, as detailed in the "Sharing Your
Information" section below. MogulTunes may send out e-mails with MogulTunes-related news, products, offers,
surveys or promotions. You may also receive notification e-mails from MogulTunes, which inform you
of actions (e.g. friend requests) that have been performed on the site. If you do not want
to receive e-mail from us, please visit the Email Preferences
section of your User Profile and/or follow the instructions contained in the unwanted
e-mail message. However, please note that in all cases you will continue to receive all
system e-mails (e.g. those regarding forgotten user passwords) and legal notices (e.g.
updates to our policies) from us.
Cookies
- Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through
your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and tell us how and when
pages in our website are visited and by how many people. MogulTunes cookies do not collect
personal information, and we do not combine information collected through cookies with
other personal information to tell us who you are or what your screen name or e-mail
address is.
- The "help" portion of the toolbar on the majority of browsers will direct you on how to
prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to command the browser to tell you
when you receive a new cookie, or how to fully disable cookies. We recommend that you
leave the cookies activated because cookies allow you to use some of MogulTunes' coolest
features.
- Some of our business partners, like our advertisers, may use cookies on our website. We
have no access to, or control over, these cookies.
Sharing Your Information
Because MogulTunes enables people to discover and share music with one
another, information about the people who use MogulTunes is an integral part of the MogulTunes
experience. Rest assured that we neither rent nor sell your personal information to
anyone and that we will share your personal information only as described below.
- MogulTunes Personnel:
MogulTunes personnel and authorized consultants and/or contractors may have access to user
information if necessary in the normal course of MogulTunes business.
- Business Transfers:
In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user
information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Moreover, if
MogulTunes, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, user information would be one
of the assets that is transferred.
- Protection of MogulTunes and Others:
We may release personal information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary
to comply with a law; to enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other
policies; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of MogulTunes, our employees, our users,
or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations
for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
- User Profile information:
Information collected during registration and subsequent visits, such as your full name
and location, may be displayed to other MogulTunes users in your User Profile. The User Profile
is the area on MogulTunes where we allow you to tell other MogulTunes users about yourself and your
interests. You may control what personal information is displayed in your User Profile
by visiting the Privacy Settings section of your User Profile.
- Member Directory:
The e-mail address that you submit upon registration will be searchable by other MogulTunes users
who know you by your email address, unless you choose to opt out of this feature. This is
primarily so that other users can find you to establish friendship through MogulTunes. You may
opt-out of this feature by visiting the Privacy Settings section
of your User Profile.
- Social sharing of data:
MogulTunes allows other users to browse songs that you have promoted, submitted, reviewed, or
commented on. This information is made available via your User Profile, on the MogulTunes
"live" page (MogulTunes Live). MogulTunes may choose to post this data on
other site features.
- Friends' Activity:
Much like other online social networks, MogulTunes allows non-friends to browse your friends' activity (
www.mogultunes.com/profile.php).
- API:
MogulTunes will allow third parties access to all MogulTunes data that is already publicly available
through the MogulTunes website. MogulTunes will keep private any passwords and account settings.
- Syndication:
MogulTunes allows for the RSS syndication of all of its public content within the MogulTunes website.
- With Your Consent:
Except as noted above, we will contact you when your personal information is shared with
third parties or used for a purpose incompatible with the purpose(s) for which it was
originally collected, and you will be able to opt out to prevent the sharing of this
information.
Keeping Information Secure
- Your MogulTunes account information is protected by a password for your privacy and security.
Protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer by logging
off once you have finished using a shared computer.
- Only employees who need personal information to perform a specific job (for example,
a customer service representative) are granted access to it. All of our employees are
kept up to date on our privacy and security practices.
Ways to Control Display and Use of Your Information
- As stated previously, you can always opt not to disclose information, but then you may
be unable to use certain features on our website, such as posting new links.
- By visiting your User Profile, you can correct, amend, add or delete personal
information on our website. When you update information, however, we often maintain
a copy of the unrevised information in our records.
- You may request deletion of your MogulTunes account by e-mailing us at
support@mogultunes.com.
- If you do not wish to receive e-mail from us or other MogulTunes users, please visit the
Email Preferences section of your User Profile and/or
follow the instructions contained in the unwanted e-mail message.
- However, please note that you will continue to receive all system e-mails (e.g. those
regarding forgotten user passwords) and legal notices (e.g. updates to our policies)
from us.
- If you do not wish to have people who know you by your email address find you via the
Member Directory service, please visit the Privacy Settings
section of your User Profile to opt out of this feature.
- As explained earlier, the "help" portion of the toolbar on the majority of browsers
will direct you on how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to
command the browser to tell you when you receive a new cookie, or how to fully
disable cookies. Please note, however, that if your browser does not accept
cookies, you will not be able to take advantage of some of our attractive
features.
Children Under 18 Years of Age
You must be 13 years and older to register to use the MogulTunes website.
As a result, MogulTunes does not specifically collect information about children. If we
learn that MogulTunes has collected information from a child under the age of 13, we will
delete that information as quickly as possible. We recommend that minors between
the ages of 13 and 18 ask and receive their parents' permission before using MogulTunes
or sending information about themselves or anyone else over the Internet.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
MogulTunes may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time, at its sole
discretion. Use of information we collect now is subject to the Privacy Policy
in effect at the time such information is used. If we make changes to the Privacy
Policy, we will notify you by posting an announcement on the MogulTunes website so you
are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what
circumstances if any, it is disclosed.

If you decide to visit MogulTunes website, your visit and any possible
dispute over privacy is subject to this Privacy Policy and our Terms
