You must, however, register and provide personally identifiable information in order to access certain portions or use some or all of the features of certain Cranborne Audio Properties, receive Cranborne Audio communications, and to enter contests and other promotions.

Cranborne Audio may use content you provide us through emails, responses to polls, contests or sweepstakes or any other promotional activity. Please be advised that your submissions become the property of Cranborne Audio and may be used by Cranborne Audio for marketing emails, targeted advertising on social media, or internal user analysis. You grant Cranborne Audio permission to use the content of your submission in marketing whether now known or invented in the future, with or without attribution, including publication online, trade media, and advertising into perpetuity without limitation. You agree that any content you send us will not violate any rights of any third-party and that you will only send us content for which you own the rights.

B. Non-Personally Identifiable Information

Cranborne Audio also collects other information that is not personally identifiable to you, but results solely from your visit to Cranborne Audio Properties. We use  cookies, web beacons, and FaceBook Pixel, which are placed on your computer when you access Cranborne Audio Properties.

a. IP Addresses

Your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address is usually associated with the place from which you enter the Internet, like your Internet Service Provider, your company or your university. By collecting your IP address, Cranborne Audio’s server records the referring page that linked you to the Cranborne Audio Property (e.g., another website or a search engine). If you’re coming from another website, then the pages you visit on this website, the website you visit after this website, the ads you see or click on, other information about the type of web browser, computer, platform, related software and settings you are using, any search terms you have entered on the Cranborne Audio Property or a referral website, and other usage activity and data logged by our web servers. Cranborne Audio may also use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our servers, gather broad demographic and geographic information, and administer our Cranborne Audio Properties. Cranborne Audio may also link this information with your personally identifiable information when Cranborne Audio feels that it is necessary to enforce compliance with its rules and policies, terms of service, or to protect its Cranborne Audio Properties, customers or others.

b. Web Beacons

Web beacons are Internet tools, such as transparent images on a website or in e-mails that we may send you, that help us to determine, for instance, the number of visitors to a Cranborne Audio Property, whether a page has been viewed or an e-mail opened, or to collect other related information, and this information may be associated with your unique browser, device identifier, or IP address. For example, when you ask us to send you information on a promotion or newsletter, we may use web beacons to determine how many of the e-mails we sent were actually opened. In general, any electronic image viewed as part of a web page, including a banner ad, can contain a web beacon.

c. Cookies

Cranborne Audio may use cookies to track the use of Cranborne Audio Properties and to facilitate and enhance your experience. “Cookies” are bits of electronic information that can be transferred to your computer or other electronic device to uniquely identify your browser. When you use Cranborne Audio Properties, we may place one or more cookies on your computer or other electronic device. We may use cookies to connect your activity on the Cranborne Audio Properties with other information we store about you in your account profile or your prior interactions on the Cranborne Audio Properties to, for example, store your preferences. The cookies enable Cranborne Audio to facilitate access to different aspects of the website. For example, by showing when and how you and others visit its website, cookies help Cranborne Audio to see which pages of the website are popular and which are not. Cookies can also help Cranborne Audio to improve your enjoyment of this website, for example, by remembering your address or other personal information when you request information or services on the website.

6. SECURITY

Cranborne Audio limits third party access such as Mailchimp and Facebook to personally identifiable information collected on Cranborne Audio Properties. Cranborne Audio Properties have security measures in place that we believe are reasonable to help protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under Cranborne Audio’s control. While Cranborne Audio cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration to data will not occur, Cranborne Audio uses industry standards, such as Secure Socket Layers (“SSL”) technology, to help safeguard against such occurrences. In certain instances, the information passed between your browser or device and the Cranborne Audio system is encrypted with SSL technology to create a protected connection between you and Cranborne Audio Properties to ensure confidentiality. In the event that a breach into the Cranborne Audio security systems occurs and there is a possibility that an unauthorized person acquired your personal information, Cranborne Audio will notify you of the breach under applicable law. No transmission of information via the Internet can be entirely secure, however, so please always use caution when submitting personal information.

7. ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

If you wish to have access to your personally identifiable information, please contact us with your request at the address below. You may also request that Cranborne Audio update your personal information or correct any factual errors that you believe may exist regarding this information. In the event of a change in control of Cranborne Audio or sale by Cranborne Audio of substantially all of its assets, any information owned by or in the control of Cranborne Audio may be transferred to such Cranborne Audio successor, who will comply with the terms of this Privacy Policy.

8. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

Cranborne Audio Properties are not linked to other websites or applications not maintained by or related to Cranborne Audio.
