Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy discloses the privacy practices for the NOVA SOUND, INC., site and various related
services (together referred to as the "site"). NOVA SOUND INC., (“NOVA”), the provider of the site
(sometimes referred to as "us" or "we"), is committed to protecting your privacy online. Please read the
information below to learn the following regarding your use of this site:
You acknowledge that this Privacy Policy is part of our Site Terms of Use, and by accessing or using our
site, you agree to be bound by all of its terms and conditions. If you do not agree to these terms, please
do not access or use this site.
We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. Such changes, modifications, additions or
deletions shall be effective immediately upon notice thereof, which may be given by means including, but
not limited to issuing an e-mail to the e-mail address listed by registered users and posting the revised
Policy on this page. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to maintain a valid e-mail
address as a registered user, review this site and this Policy periodically and to be aware of any modifica-
tions. Your continued use of the site after such modifications will constitute your: (a) acknowledgment of
the modified Policy; and (b) agreement to abide and be bound by the modified Policy.
1. What information do we collect from you?
In order to better provide you with our products and services, which include, but are not limited to sample
sounds, loops, tutorials, third party software, demos and contests, we collect two types of information
about our users: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Our pri-
mary goal in collecting information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized
experience while using our site.
Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you
are. When you engage in certain activities on this site, such as registering for a membership, ordering a
product or service, submitting ideas, suggestions, testimonials, comments, posting content, entering a
contest, filling out a survey, or sending us feedback, we may ask you to provide certain information about
yourself by filling out and submitting an online form. It is completely optional for you to engage in these
activities. If you elect to engage in these activities, however, we may ask that you provide us personal
information, such as your first and last name, mailing address (including zip code), e-mail address, occu-
pation, telephone and facsimile numbers, and other personal identifying information. When ordering
products or services on the site, you may be asked to provide a credit card number. Depending upon the
activity, some of the information we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary.
If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to en-
gage in that activity.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific
individual. We gather certain information about you based upon where you visit on our site in several
ways. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This in-
formation may include the Web site's Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") that you just came from, which
URL you go to next, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address. A URL is the
global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web. An IP address is an identifier
for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ("TCP/IP") network, such
as the World Wide Web. Networks like the Web use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on
the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically as-
signed to your computer whenever you are surfing the web, allowing web servers to locate and identify
your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet.
2. Where do we collect information from you and how do we use it?
We do not collect any Personally Identifiable Information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us.
You provide certain Personally Identifiable Information to us when you:
(a) register for our services and register your e-mail address with us;
(b) enter contests sponsored by us or one of our partners;
(c) sign up for special offers from selected third parties;
(d) send e-mail messages, submit forms or transmit other information by telephone or letter; or
(e) submit your credit card or other payment information when ordering and purchasing products and
services on our site.
We may also collect information from you at other points on our site that state that such information is
being collected.
In addition, we may also collect, or our third party ad server and/or content server may collect, certain
Non-Personally Identifiable Information. This information is ultimately stored in the form of store catego-
ries, and, in some cases, specific URLs. We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our servers,
software, to administer our site and to gather demographic information. Our third party ad servers will also
provide us with summary, but not individual, reports that will tell us how many ads were presented and
clicked upon at our site.
We will primarily use your Personally Identifiable Information to provide our services to you, as required
by our agreements with you. We will also use Personally Identifiable Information to enhance the operation
of our site, fill orders, improve our marketing and promotional efforts, statistically analyze site use, im-
prove our product and service offerings, and customize our site's content, layout, and services. We may
use Personally Identifiable Information to deliver information to you and to contact you regarding adminis-
trative notices. We may also use Personally Identifiable Information to resolve disputes, troubleshoot
problems and enforce our agreements with you, including our Site Terms of Use and this Private Policy.
3. With whom do we share your information?
We do not sell, trade, or rent your Personally Identifiable Information to others. We do provide some of
our services through contractual arrangements with affiliates, services providers, partners and other third
parties. We and our service partners use your Personally Identifiable Information to operate our sites and
to deliver their services. For example, we must release your credit card information to the card-issuing
bank to confirm payment for products and services purchased on this site; release your address informa-
tion to the delivery service to deliver products that you ordered; and provide order information to third par-
ties that help us provide customer service.
We will encourage our service partners to adopt and post privacy policies. However, the use of your Per-
sonally Identifiable Information by our service partners is governed by the privacy policies of those service
partners, and is not subject to our control.
Occasionally we may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide Personally Identifi-
able Information to the appropriate governmental authorities. We will disclose Personally Identifiable In-
formation upon receipt of a court order, subpoena, or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation.
We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for illegal
activities. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith
believe to be unlawful.
We may also provide Non-Personally Identifiable Information about our customers' sales, traffic patterns,
and related site information to third party advertisers, but these statistics do not include any Personally
Identifiable Information.
4. How can you update or correct your Personally Identifiable Information?
We believe you should have the ability to access and edit the Personally Identifiable Information that you
have provided to us. You may change any of your Personally Identifiable Information in your account
online at any time by linking to your account in accordance with instructions posted elsewhere on this site.
You may also access and correct your personal information and privacy preferences by writing us at:
NOVA SOUND, INC
4804 Laurel Canyon Blvd #351
Studio City
CA, 91607
Please include your name, address, and/or e-mail address when you contact us.
We encourage you to promptly update your Personally Identifiable Information if it changes. You may ask
to have the information on your account deleted or removed; however, because we keep track of past
transactions, you cannot delete information associated with past transactions on this site. In addition, it
may be impossible to completely delete your information without some residual information because of
backups.
5. What security precautions are in place to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of your
information?
At our site you can be assured that your Personally Identifiable Information is secure, consistent with cur-
rent industry standards. The importance of security for all Personally Identifiable Information associated
with our user is of utmost concern to us. Your Personally Identifiable Information is protected in several
ways. Access by you to your Personally Identifiable Information is available through a password and
unique customer ID selected by you. This password is encrypted. We recommend that you do not divulge
your password to anyone. In addition, your Personally Identifiable Information resides on a secure server
that only selected NOVA personnel and contractors have access to via password. We encrypt your Per-
sonally Identifiable Information and thereby prevent unauthorized parties from viewing such information
when it is transmitted to us.
Personal information that you provide that is not Personally Identifiable Information also resides on a se-
cure server and is only accessible via password. Since this information is not accessible from outside
NOVA you will not be asked to select a password in order to view or modify such information.
In order to most efficiently serve you, credit card transactions and order fulfillment are handled by estab-
lished third party banking, processing agents and distribution institutions. They receive the information
needed to verify and authorize your credit card or other payment information and to process and ship
your order.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be
100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personally Identifiable Information, you ac-
knowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control;
(b) the security, integrity and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us
through this site cannot be guaranteed; and (c) any such information and data may be viewed or tam-
pered with in transit by a third party.
6. Do we use "cookies"?
When you use our site we will store cookies on your computer in order to facilitate and customize your
use of our site. A cookie is a small data text file, which a Web site stores on your computer's hard drive (if
your Web browser permits) that can later be retrieved to identify you to us. Our cookies store randomly
assigned user identification numbers, the country where you are located, and your first name to welcome
you back to our site. The cookies make your use of the site easier, make the site run more smoothly and
help us to maintain a secure site. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but
some parts of our site may not work properly in that case.
We may use an outside ad serving company to display banner advertisements on our site. As part of their
service, they will place a separate cookie on your computer. We will not provide any third-party ad server
with any of your Personally Identifiable Information or information about your purchases. We and our third
party ad server will collect and use Non-Personally Identifiable Information about you, such as your IP
address, browser type, the server your computer is logged onto, the area code and zip code associated
with your server and whether you responded to a particular ad. Other advertisers may also place banner
ads on our site in the same manner as above, but we will not disclose any Personally Identifiable Informa-
tion to them.
7. What should you know about privacy policies and data collection at any third party sites acces-
sible from our site?
Except as otherwise discussed in this Privacy Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclo-
sure of information we collect from you. Other sites accessible through our site have their own privacy
policies and data collection, use and disclosure practices. Please consult each site's privacy policy. We
are not responsible for the policies or practices of third parties. Additionally, other companies which place
advertising on our site may collect information about you when you view or click on their advertising
through the use of cookies. We cannot control this collection of information. You should contact these
advertisers directly if you have any questions about their use of the information that they collect.
8. What else should you know about your privacy online?
You must be at least 18 years old to have our permission to use this site. Our policy is that we do not
knowingly collect, use or disclose Personally Identifiable Information about visitors that are under 18
years of age.
You should also be aware that when Personally Identifiable Information is voluntarily disclosed (i.e. your
name, e-mail address, etc.) on this site, that information, along with any information disclosed in your
communication, can be collected and used by third parties and may result in unsolicited messages from
third parties. Such activities are beyond our control and this Policy does not apply to such information.
Any submissions on this site are accepted with the understanding that they are accessible to all third par-
ties. If you do not want your comments to be viewed by third parties, you are advised not to make any
submissions. Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your password and/or
account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online.
