1. Introduction

Thanks for choosing Glirt Music. To provide you with the Glirt Music Service (or “Service”, both as defined in the Terms and Conditions of Use), Glirt Music Limited (“Glirt Music”, “we”, “us”, “our”) needs to collect some information about you, and this Privacy Policy is where we describe the information we collect, what we do with it, and how you can manage and control the use of your information. By using or interacting with the Service, you are entering into a binding contract with us and consenting to the use of your information as explained in this Privacy Policy. If you don't agree with these terms, then please don't use the Service.

You may integrate your Glirt Music account with third party services (“Other Integrated Services”). If you do, we may receive, use and share the categories of information described above, including information made publically available on or through your account of such Other Integrated Service, in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

2.4 Payment data

When you sign up for a Trial or any of our Paid Subscriptions (as defined in the Terms and Conditions of Use), or make other purchases through the Service, your credit card information and other financial data that we need to process your payment are collected and stored by third party payment processors. We may collect some limited information, such as your postal code, mobile number and details of your transaction history. In addition, the third party payment processors generally provide us with some limited information related to you, such as a unique token that enables you to make additional purchases using the information they’ve stored, and your card’s type, expiration date, and last four digits. If you choose to pay by invoice, Glirt Music may need to collect and transfer additional information, like your name, date of birth and phone number, to our invoicing service provider to enable credit checks and send you invoices. The use of your data by our invoicing service provider is subject to its privacy policies.

2.5 Sweepstakes, contests, & surveys

A Special Promotion may be governed by a privacy policy and/or terms and conditions that are separate from this Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions of Use). If the provisions of the Special Promotion’s privacy policy or terms and conditions conflict with this Privacy Policy or the Terms and Conditions of Use, those separate terms and conditions or privacy policy shall prevail. If you participate in a Special Promotion, we may ask you for certain personal information in addition to what is stated in this Privacy Policy. That additional information may be combined with other account information and may be used and shared as described in this Privacy Policy.

4. How we share the information we collect

We may share the information we collect, including your personal information, as follows:

4.1 Finding you and sharing within the Glirt Music Service

The Glirt Music Service is a social service which offers many ways to find, enjoy, and share content, and we enable and encourage users to explore who else is using the Service and their public profiles. Most of your Glirt Music information is or may be publicly available to others by default, such as your name and/or username, profile picture, type of subscription, your following relationships and your activity, including the music you add or favorite, Third Party Applications you add or use and User Content you post, upload and/or contribute to the Service. Your activity on the Service will automatically appear in the activity feed of friends and users who follow you or your Glirt Music profile content.

We may use your public information to promote the Service and to help others find and follow you and/or your Glirt Music profile content, including through the Glirt Media Hub App and Other Integrated Services.

Your information may also be used to notify others, including on the Service, via e-mail, and through Glirt Media Hub App and Other Integrated Services, that you have joined Glirt Music, and about activity related to their Glirt Music profiles, content which they follow, or which we think otherwise may be of interest to them. Likewise, we may notify you about such activity of others.

Learn more about how to manage notifications, your publicly available information, and what you share with others in section 5 below.

4.2 Sharing with Glirt Media Hub App and other services

If you connect to Glirt Music using Glirt Media Hub App or otherwise connect your Glirt Music account to an Other Integrated Service, the default setting is generally that Glirt Music automatically shares your activity and activity-related stories with that service, including the music you listen to. You understand that such information may be attributed to your account on Glirt Media Hub App or the Other Integrated Service and may be published on such service. See section 5 below to learn how you can disable sharing of information on Glirt Media Hub App and Other Integrated Services.

Glirt Music also enables you to share a particular item of content, on an individual basis, to third party services or other Glirt Music users by using the share functionality in the Service. Please note that sharing of such content on a third party service may be posted as activity on the Service, regardless of your account settings. To share an individual item of content to a third party service, you’ll be prompted to enter your access credentials for that third party service. Glirt Music may store your username and an access token or similar credentials obtained from the third party service, so that you are able to share particular items of content, on that third party service, on an individual basis, without entering your access credentials again.

You understand and agree that Glirt Media Hub App’s or other third parties’ use of information they collect from you is governed by their privacy policies, and Glirt Music’s use of such information is governed by this Privacy Policy.

4.3 Sharing with Third Party Applications

To personalize your experience, we may share some information we have collected about you with providers of Third Party Applications, such as high-level geographic information, your musical preferences, settings and technical data. However, we take precautions to prohibit Third Party Application providers from attempting to identify you by using the information we provide to them or by collecting additional information without your consent.

Please note that if you:

1. actively choose to provide Third Party Applications with additional information, such as by visiting a Third Party Application (which enables collection of your IP address), dragging and dropping a playlist into a Third Party Application, or allowing us to share precise geographic data which Third Party Application providers request from us; or

2. consent to collection of additional information about you by a Third Party Application provider when you for example register with or log in to the Third Party Application,

the Third Party Application may be able to identify you and associate the information previously provided by Glirt Music with you. You agree and understand that a Third Party Application provider’s privacy policy governs its use of your information that we provide to it or that it collects from you.

4.4 Service providers and others

We may from time to time share your information with other companies in the Glirt Music group as well as certain trusted business partners and third party service providers to enable them to perform functions and process user data on our behalf, consistent with section 3 above. Such third parties' processing of user data will always be subject to security and confidentiality obligations consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

4.5 Other sharing

In addition to the above, we may also share your information to third parties for these limited purposes:

1. to allow a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets;

2. to respond to legal process (e.g. a court order or subpoena), if we believe in good faith that it is necessary to do so; to comply with requirements of mandatory applicable law; to protect the safety of any person; to protect the rights and property of Glirt Music, including to enforce the Terms and Conditions of Use and Mobile Terms; and to address fraud, security or technical issues;

3. to allow other companies in the Glirt Music Group to use your information as specified in this Privacy Policy;

4. to inform business partners about use of the Service and products and services made available through the Service, in the form of aggregated statistics or otherwise in a format which does not reveal your identity; and

5. if you expressly opt in to such sharing.

You understand and agree that the privacy policies of third parties will govern all use of information that we provide to them under this section.

5. Your preferences

Through your settings, you can choose which communications you receive from us, manage your public information, and set your sharing preferences. However, please note that it may not be possible to make certain information private on the Service, including your name and/or username, profile picture, and other basic information, such as your following relationships. Such information and other information which are set to “public” in your settings, such as playlists, may be used, re-shared or linked to by others on the Service or others across the web, so please use Glirt Music carefully and manage your account settings regularly. Remember that if you make profile content private, others who already subscribe to or otherwise have the details of such content may still have access to it. Also keep in mind that playlists and other content added to your profile may include personal information, such as username, which could enable other persons to find you in the Glirt Music Service or other services.

To change, customize, or limit access to or sharing of information collected from Glirt Media Hub App or Other Integrated Service, please visit your account settings on that service.

6. Transfer to other countries

Glirt Music processes information about our users on servers located in a number of countries. Accordingly, Glirt Music may share your information with other companies in the Glirt Music Group for the purpose of them carrying out any of the activities specified in this Privacy Policy. Glirt Music may also subcontract processing to or share your information with third parties located in countries, other than your home country. Information collected within the African Economic Area (“AEA”) and Nigeria may, for example, be transferred to, and processed by companies in the Glirt Music Group or other third parties identified above, located in a country outside of the AEA and Nigeria, where you may have fewer legal rights in relation to your information. However, the Glirt Music Group will only process your information as described in this Privacy Policy in every country. You expressly consent to your information being used as set out in this section 6.

7. Links

We may display advertisements from third parties and other content which links to third party websites. We cannot control or be held responsible for third parties’ privacy practices and content. Please read their privacy policies to find out how they collect and process your personal information.

8. Security

We are committed to protecting our users’ information. Your password protects your user account, so you should use a unique and strong password, limit access to your computer and browser, and sign off after having used the Glirt Music Service. While we take reasonable data protection precautions, no security measures are completely secure, and we do not guarantee the security of user information at any time.

9. Children

For users in Nigeria, the Glirt Music Service is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under 13 years of age, do not use the Service and do not provide any personal information to us. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete it.

10. Accessing and updating user information

You can access and amend some of the information we keep on you through your settings. To learn more about the information, we store about you, e-mail Glirt.Music.privacy@gmail.com. We will respond within a reasonable period of time upon verification of your identity.
