This privacy policy (“Policy”) describes, in general, how Swizz Beatz Online (“We” or “Us”) collects information from users of our web site (“Site”) located at https://swizzbeatzonline.com and our services and products, how we use that information, and with whom we may share such information. Please take a few minutes to read our Privacy Policy so that you understand how Swizz Beatz Online treats your information.
1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
As we explain in more detail below, we may collect information about you when you visit the Swizz Beatz Online Site, when you request information through our Site, and when you register for any services offered through the Site.
Swizz Beatz Online does not knowingly collect information from or about persons under the age of eighteen.
a. User-provided Information
We collect Personal Information from users of our web site, for example, through such users’ activities, transactions, and completion of online forms on our web site. Such information is collected, for example, when users register or subscribe for accounts or features on our Site, make online purchases, complete surveys, contribute comments to any forum that we may make available on or through our Site, submit a comment or question to us using a “contact us” or similar feature on our Site, send us an e-mail, or in any other way submit Personal information to us via our Site.
b. Web Site Usage Information
We may use “cookies” to keep, and sometimes track, information about you. Cookies are small data files that are sent to your browser or related software from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies track where you travel on our Site and what you look at and purchase. They may store the information in your shopping cart and/or your username and/or password. A cookie may enable us to relate your use of our Site to other information about you, including your Personal Information. All of these purposes serve to improve and personalize your experience on our web site.
Most web browsers can be set to inform you when a cookie has been sent to you and provide you with the opportunity to refuse that cookie. Additionally, if you have a Flash player installed on our computer, your Flash player can be set to reject or delete Flash cookies. However, refusing a cookie may, in some cases, preclude you from using, or negatively impact the display or function of, the Site or certain areas or features of the Site.
We may also use “clear GIFs” (aka “Web beacons” or “pixel tags”) or similar technologies in the Site and/or in our communications with you to enable us to know whether you have visited a page in the Site or received a message. A clear GIF is typically a one-pixel, transparent image (although it can be a visible image as well), located on a web page or in an e-mail or other type of message, that is retrieved from a remote site on the Internet, enabling the verification of an individual’s viewing or receipt of a web page or message. A clear gif may enable us to relate your viewing or receipt of a web page or message to other information about you, including your Personal Information.
Our server automatically collects data about your server’s Internet address when you visit us. This information, known as an Internet Protocol address, or IP Address, is a number that’s automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider whenever you’re on the Internet. When you request pages from our Site, our servers may log your IP Address and sometimes your domain name. Our server may also record the referring page that linked you to us (e.g., another web site or a search engine); the pages you visit on this Site; the web site you visit after this web site; other information about the type of web browser, computer, platform, related software, and settings you are using; any search terms you have entered on this web site or a referral site; and other web-usage activity and data logged by our web servers. We use this information for internal system administration, to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Site. Such information may also be used to gather broad demographic information, such as country of origin and Internet Service Provider. We may also link this information with your Personal Information.
Any or all of these activities with regard to Web Site Usage Information may be performed on our behalf by our services providers such as Google Analytics, MailChimp, Constant Contact, Formstack, Paypal, and EventBrite.

5. SECURITY
We will take reasonable steps to protect the security and integrity of all Personal Information provided to us via our Site.

You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security. We will not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this provision, nor will we have liability for disclosure of your information due to errors or unauthorized acts of third parties during or after transmission.
In the unlikely event that we believe that the security of your Personal Information in our possession or control may have been compromised, we may seek to notify you of that development. If a notification is appropriate, we would endeavor to do so as promptly as possible under the circumstances, and, if we have your e-mail address, we may notify you by e-mail.
