Privacy statement and cookie policy VIRPP

This document is the privacy statement of VIRPP. We see it as our responsibility to protect your privacy and your personal data. On this page we will let you know what information we collect when you use our website, why we collect this information and in what way we improve your user experience. In this privacy statement, we will explain what we do at VIRPP with the information that we collect from you. If you have any questions please contact VIRPP via [email protected]
What information do we collect?
We generally collect two kinds of information through the Site: “personal information” about you which you provide to us, and “non-personal information” about you, your computer and technology, and your use of the Website, which alone doesn’t identify you personally.

Personal data & Non personal data
In order for you to become a registered user, get a subscription as a label, or be able to pull content from our Website, you will need to provide us with certain personal information, such as your age, name, business name if applicable, e-mail address, street address and telephone number during the registration process. For online purchases, we will also require your credit or debit card number, expiration date, billing address and related details (which may include your social security or other tax ID number) in order to process payments. We may also ask for additional personal information from time to time such as such as gender, in connection with online promotions, contests, giveaways, surveys and other programs, but it’s entirely up to you whether or not to provide that information to participate in those programs.

We may also collect non-personal information from visitors and registered users of the Website. We may ask you to provide some of that information yourself, such as your musical preferences, your favorite artists, labels or genres, or your purchasing, listening and concert-going habits. Other technical, geographic and usage data and information we may collect directly, such as your browser type, ISP, operating system, log and Website usage data, IP address, zip code or location, the pages you visit and music or other content that you listen to or access while on the Website, websites you’ve visited upon entering or leaving the Website. Such information may be combined with your personal information.

If you contact or communicate with us or our representatives by e-mail or through the Website, or if you post any information on any forums, chat rooms, profile pages, feedback, customer service or other portions of the Website, we may collect, retain and use any information that you provide.

What do we do with the information we collect?
Our main use for the personal information we collect is to process your registration, purchases and payments, and to maintain your account on an ongoing basis. If you are a content supplier, we will also use your personal information to make accountings and share streaming data to you. If you enter any contests, promotions, giveaways or other optional programs, we will use the information you provide to facilitate and communicate with you about that particular contest or promotion, such as to notify you whether you’ve won, to deliver prizes. If you maintain a DJ profile page, we may use your personal information to communicate with you about that.

We may also use your personal and non-personal information to enhance your experience with the Website and our service, such as sending you emails and otherwise providing you with other information, content and material in which we think you may be interested; displaying content and ads according to your prior browsing history, preferences and location; fulfilling your orders; providing customer service and responding to your questions and comments; or contacting you about your account or about our and and partners’ promotions, contests, surveys, or other promotions.

We may use information learned from cookies to make sure that our content and emails are in a format that you can read, to analyze trends about which Websites, content and e-mails are popular and are being read and/or forwarded, to maintain a history of email activity, and to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of certain communications.

Your feedback and other information will also be used to evaluate and enhance our Website and service. For example, we may analyze the traffic and usage of our Site; the participation rate of our various promotions, offerings, e-mails, and other programs; and the popularity of our content, artists, and participating labels. We may also use that information for product development purposes, such as determining what other labels, artists, products and services our users are interested in, and for technical purposes such as monitoring the functionality of our servers and e-mail systems.

Lawful basis for processing
There are a number of different legal bases for processing personal data under the GDPR. Which one is applicable will depend on precisely how we are processing your personal data and for what purpose. Most commonly we will process your personal data where it is necessary:

  • For the purposes of pursuing our legitimate interests;
  • In order to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject; or
  • Because you have consented to the processing.

 

Where we are processing your personal data for the purposes of pursuing our legitimate interests, those interests include providing you with features, services, purchases or information you request, improving the quality of our website, services and purchases, for our own marketing purposes, and to investigate and prevent fraud. We will not use your personal data for these purposes when our own interests are overridden by the impact on your interests, rights and freedoms.
