Privacy


Your privacy is important to us at the GrooveHub network. Here is how your Privacy is maintained:

We don't request access to your personal information unless we truly need it to provide the service eg: Your gender or income levels are irrelevant to us, so we don't ask you for that information. We don't share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights. We don't store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services. Below is our privacy policy which adheres to those principles:

If you have questions about deleting or correcting your personal data please email privacy@groovehub.net.

GrooveHub operates a web application (on https://groovehub.net/). It is GrooveHub's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our services.

Website Visitors

Like most internet-service operators, GrooveHub collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers, apps and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, geographical location, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. GrooveHub's purpose in collecting non-personally-identifying information is to better understand how GrooveHub's visitors use its services. From time to time, GrooveHub may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its services.

GrooveHub also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for users that use the services and visitors.

Gathering and Use of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to GrooveHub's websites and users of GrooveHub's apps choose to interact with GrooveHub in ways that require GrooveHub to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that GrooveHub gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask users of our app to provide an email address. In each case, GrooveHub collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with GrooveHub. GrooveHub does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Permitted Purposes:

We may use the information we collect about you (including personal information, to the extent applicable) for a variety of purposes, including to (a) provide, operate, maintain, improve, and promote the GrooveHub Service; (b) enable you to access and use the GrooveHub Service; (c) process and complete transactions; (d) provide customer service and support and send you related notices; (e) send promotional communications; (f) process and deliver contest or sweepstakes entries and rewards; (g) monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with the GrooveHub Service and for marketing or advertising purposes; (h) monitor and assess compliance with our policies and standards; and (i) for other purposes for which we obtain your consent. With regard to newsletters, updates and other general communications, we will – where legally required – only provide you with such information if you have opted in. You have the opportunity to opt out of receiving such communications at any time.

Retention Period:

We will retain your personal information for as long as is needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements). When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible. For personal information that we process on behalf of our customers, we will retain such personal information in accordance with the terms of our agreement with them, subject to applicable law.

Types of personal data we collect and use

We will only process personal data in ways that are compatible with the purpose we collected it for, or for the purposes you later authorize. Before we use your personal data for a purpose that is materially different from the purpose we collected it for or that you later authorized, we will provide you with the opportunity to opt-out. We maintain reasonable procedures to help ensure that personal data we collect and use is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and current.
