SYNTHONIA PRIVACY POLICY

SYNTHONIA is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. This policy explains how we use the information we collect about you and the procedures that we have in place to safeguard your privacy.

This privacy policy covers your use of this website, each of the Digital Music Service and SYNTHONIA Tickets available from this website.

I - INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT

When you register with SYNTHONIA and/or place an order, we need to know your name, delivery address, Paypal email address, e-mail address and telephone number. These data allow us to process your orders and notify you of their status.

We may also ask you to give us optional contact information, (i.e. your fax number) as well as demographic information (i.e. your age).

We may from time to time,send, together with your ordered products, files and flyers advertising the goods or services of unrelated third party companies. We do not pass on your personal data to these companies.

If you purchase a ticket through SYNTHONIA Tickets we will share your ticket purchase and contact details with related third party companies in order to let them deliver your ticket to you. From time to time, SYNTHONIA and the ticket provider or promoter of the event for which the ticket has been purchased may send you information about the latest events, hot tickets, exclusive offers and other similar products and services they offer (which will include the SYNTHONIA tickets weekly newsletter). Should you wish to opt out from receiving such information you can do so at the time of purchasing your ticket, or by clicking the "unsubscribe" or "edit my preference" links at the bottom of every mail you receive.

We may also use your information for the purpose of providing you information about any special offers or features of our web site we think may be of your interest and for related marketing purposes.

We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our web site. Your IP address is also used to help us identify you and your details on our database.

We monitor customer traffic on an aggregate basis in order to help us develop and improve our web site for the benefit of our customers. In order to enhance your use of the web site you will be given a session ID which will only last for the duration of that visit to the site. Each time you visit the site you will be given a different session ID.

By submitting your information you consent to the use of the above mentioned information as set out in this Privacy Policy.

Should we change our Privacy Policy we will post the changes on this page so that you will be aware of them, and we will also e-mail you a description of the change in order to give you a chance to ask us not to use your information in that way. Because the Internet infrastructure is global, and it is not possible to predict the routes that data sent over the Internet will take, the information you provide may be transferred temporarily via a route, which takes it outside the European Economic Area as it transmitted from you to us. By submitting your information you consent to this transfer.

II - PROTECTING YOUR SECURITY

To ensure that your data are not being used without your consent, we will validate name, address and other personal information supplied by you during the order process against appropriate third party databases. By accepting these terms and conditions you consent to such checks being made. In performing these checks personal information provided by you may be disclosed to a registered Credit Reference Agency, which may keep a record of that information. You can rest assured that this is done only to confirm your identity, that a credit check is not performed and that your credit rating will be unaffected. All information provided by you will be treated securely and strictly in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.

V - NON-DISCLOSURE TO THIRD PARTIES

Unless we have your express consent, we will only disclose your personal data to third parties if this is required for the purpose of completing your transaction with us. This is subject to the provision that we may disclose or transfer your data to a partner company where you have supplied information via a site which is co-branded with that partner company or to members of our own group who operate SYNTHONIA branded websites or websites affiliated to those websites (including but not limited to the sale or provision of digital content, tickets and other related products). If personally identifying data about you may be shared with a partner company, we will tell you before we collect or transfer such data so that you may opt out of this transfer if you wish.

We will use your information only as set out in this Privacy Policy and will not sell, rent or pass your information on to others for marketing purposes without your express consent.

SYNTHONIA may however provide aggregate statistics about our customers, sales traffic patterns and related site information to reputable third-party vendors and relevant affiliate partners, but these statistics will include no personally identifying information. We may also release account information where we believe in good faith that this release is reasonably necessary to comply with the law.
