Although you should read through the Privacy Policy for complete information on how we collect, use, share, and secure information, the following provides a summary of some of the most important aspects of the privacy practices of Michael Wood Publishing Inc. (“Michael Wood”):
The Privacy Policy applies to your use of the Application, Website and related services (the “Services”) offered by Michael Wood Publishing Inc. (“Michael Wood” or “we” or “us” or “our”).
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we collect it, what we use it for, how we protect it, and when we disclose it to third parties.
By downloading, using, or accessing any Service, you are agreeing to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, you may not use any Service or submit any Personal Information to us in connection with a Service.
“Personal Information” is information about an identifiable individual, such as your name, email address and other service identifiers such as your Facebook UID. We collect Personal Information about you in the circumstances described below. We may also collect additional information, such as your age, gender, and certain preferences, and if we link that information to you, we will treat this information as Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. To enable us to provide the Services, we will ask you to provide certain Personal Information when you first make use of any Service and may ask you to provide additional information if you register your profile. We may also collect additional information if you sign in to the Services through a service provided by a third party such as Facebook, Spotify or Deezer (each a “Third Party Provider”), as outlined below. We may also collect certain geolocation information on your use for the Services, based on the location of the device you use for the Services, with your consent.
We may also collect other Personal Information about you when you provide it to us voluntarily, such as, by filling out a form or survey; by registering an account and email address with us; by emailing us; or by contacting support.
If you do not want us to collect Personal Information about you, you can decide not to submit it to us, but be aware that we may not be able to provide you with the Services if we do not collect certain information from you. We may also collect any other information with your consent or as permitted or required by law.
Third Party Provider Permissions. The Services may ask you to grant permissions to retrieve information from your accounts with Third Party Providers. For example, the Services may ask you to grant some Facebook permissions allowing it to perform actions with your Facebook account and to retrieve information, including Personal Information, from this account. The permissions asked from Facebook are the following:
You should verify your profile and the settings of your accounts with Third Party Providers to ensure that you understand the information that may be shared with Michael Wood through their services.

Michael Wood may, with your consent, use music activity information as well as the information obtained through Third Party Providers as outlined above to provide personalized recommendations on artists, events or products related to the Event and to provide personalized access to targeted content.

Marketing Uses. Unless you opt-out, we may also enable targeted advertising and enable personalized targeted messaging, and we may provide you with information on current activities, general announcements, upcoming products and services, changes to our products or services, and upcoming events.

User’s have the ability to disable background sharing. We will only collect your location data with your explicit consent and will only use it for the purposes stated in this privacy policy.
