Version dated 25 May 2018
The controller of personal information in relation to this privacy policy is Allihoopa AB (559031-2467), Riddarhuskajen 1, SE-111 28 Stockholm, Sweden ("Allihoopa").
The purpose of Allihoopa is to enable people from all over the globe to express themselves through a free and open exchange of music and to collaborate and share their original music. To do this, Allihoopa has created a web-based and mobile service (the "Service") that allows you to create, edit, upload, download, listen to and use music and sounds (the "Content"). You can use the Allihoopa Service to simply listen to music and sounds created and uploaded by others, to download and edit music and sounds that were uploaded by others and then re-upload them to the website, and to upload an original piece of music giving other people the ability to listen, edit and add to your music.
Certain features of this service require us to collect, store and use personal and non-personal information. The following details what information we collect from you based on what you are doing on the Service. It is important to note that you can freely use the Service to listen to music and sounds without giving us any personal information. However, with many of the services we offer we do ask you to provide us some limited personal information. The following details what information we collect from you, when we collect it and why we collect it. Please read everything carefully and contact us with any questions.
You are free to use the Service without registering or providing Allihoopa any personal information. We do use cookies to track your activity on our website pages as we explain in detail here. As we will explain below, the data we collect from your browsing on our site cannot personally identify you and you can delete this data by deleting your browser cookies. However, if you do not register for the Service and the only activity you do on the website is listen to and search for music, there is no other information collected from you and there is nothing collected from you that can identify you personally.
Personal information is data that, directly or indirectly, can be used to identify or contact a single person. We collect, store and use only that personal information which is necessary for us to provide you services, upgrade and update our services and comply with the law.
You will be asked to provide your personal information if you register for an account. When you create a user account, you will be asked to provide an email address, a user name, and a password for your account. Your IP address will also be stored with your account information and will include your location by country. Additionally, any actions you take on the website and/or the mobile applications created and operated by Allihoopa will be stored under your personal account. These actions can include purchasing a product, registering a product, downloading software or software updates, liking music, commenting, downloading and/or uploading music and sounds, and using mobile applications.
Allihoopa uses the personal information to communicate with you and to send you important notices, such as information about purchases, information on technical services issues, take-down notices and/or notices of violations of the Allihoopa terms of use, support, security announcements and changes to our terms, conditions and policies.
Allihoopa uses the personal information you have provided to operate and improve its website, services and products, and to make them easier to use. The personal information may also be used by Allihoopa for research and data analysis for the same purpose.
In addition, the personal information allows Allihoopa to keep you informed about new products, software updates and upcoming events. If you do not want to receive such information, you can opt-out anytime by changing your settings at your user account or by following the specific instructions in the e-mail you receive.
We want the information you provide us to be accurate. Therefore, you may request access to your personal information processed by Allihoopa so that you can request that Allihoopa correct the information if it is inaccurate or, to a certain extent, request the deletion of data. We say "to a certain extent" because there is certain data that we cannot delete. We cannot delete any information you have chosen to post on a website or app not controlled by us, nor can we delete any music or sounds you have voluntarily posted that has been incorporated into other music and sounds by other users. We cannot delete music, sounds, comments or other data that you have voluntarily provided on the Service that a user has downloaded to their device or taken screenshots of and stored outside of the Allihoopa Service. We may need to retain some of your personal data even after you have closed your account if reasonably necessary to enforce both our policies regarding copyright and copyright law, to prevent fraud and abuse and to maintain and enhance security.
Access, correction or deletion requests can be made on the Settings page of your user account. Alternatively, you can elect to make your request in writing to Allihoopa AB, Riddarhuskajen 1, SE-111 28 Stockholm, Sweden.
The personal information collected may be stored and processed in Sweden or any other country, which has the same level of protection for personal data, and in which Allihoopa or its affiliates, subsidiaries or service providers maintain facilities. Allihoopa's website, products and services may contain links to third party websites, products and services. Allihoopa does not receive personal information about you from any of the third party apps it offers links to on the Service. When you access the third party apps from the Allihoopa Service you are leaving the Allihoopa Service and transacting on the third party service. Information collected by third parties is governed by their privacy practices.
Allihoopa has implemented safeguards to protect the security of your personal information against loss, disclosure, unauthorized use or other misuses. We make our best effort to keep your personal information secure in our systems and we regularly monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks. However, no website or Internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot warrant the security of any information you share with us. We urge you to take steps to keep your personal information safe, such as choosing a strong password, not using the same password on any other service and keeping it safe, preferably using a password manager.
