Your privacy is important to us. It is soundboxxx' policy to respect your privacy and comply with any applicable law and regulation regarding any personal information we may collect about you, including across our website, https://soundboxxx.com, including all subdomains and other sites we own and operate.

Personal information is any information about you which can be used to identify you. This includes information about you as a person (such as name, address, and date of birth), your devices, payment details, and even information about how you use a website or online service.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to any of your activities after you leave our site.

Information We Collect

Information we collect falls into one of two categories: "voluntarily provided" information and "automatically collected" information.

"Automatically collected" information refers to any information automatically sent by your devices in the course of accessing our products and services for technical funtionalities.

Log Data

When you visit our website, our servers may automatically log the standard data provided by your web browser. It may include your device’s Internet Protocol address, your browser type and version, the pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, and other details about your visit.

In addition, if you encounter certain errors while using the site, we may automatically collect data about the error and the circumstances surrounding it. This data may include technical details about your device, what you were trying to do when the error occurred, and other technical information related to the problem. You may or may not receive notice of such errors, including when they occur, that they have occurred or what the nature of the error is.

Please note that although this information is not personally identifiable on its own, it may be possible to combine it with other data to personally identify specific individuals.

Personal Information

We may ask for personal information — for example, when you create an account, submit content or when you contact us — which may include one or more of the following:

  • Name real or pseudonym
  • Email Address
  • Other information you request to share
  • User-Generated Content

    We consider "user-generated content" to be materials (text, audio, image and/or video content) that are voluntarily submitted to us by you for the purpose of posting on our website or republishing on our social media channels. All user-generated content is associated with the account or email address used to submit the materials.

    Please note that any content you submit for the purpose of publication may become public after publication (and subsequent review or vetting) unless consciously altered to be exclusively private to you the individual. If public, it may be accessible to third parties not covered by this privacy policy.

    We only collect and use your personal information when we have a legitimate reason to do so. In this case, we only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary to provide our services to you.

    When we collect and process personal information, and for as long as we retain this information, we will protect it by commercially acceptable means to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorised access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.

    While we will do our best to protect the personal information you provide to us, we caution you that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and no one can guarantee the absolute security of your data.

    You are responsible for the selection of any passwords and their overall security strength, ensuring the security of your own information within the boundaries of our services. For example, ensuring that any passwords associated with accessing your personal information and accounts are secure and confidential.

    How long we keep your personal data

    We keep your personal data only for as long as is necessary. This period of time may depend on our use of your information in accordance with this privacy policy.

If your personal information is no longer required for this purpose, we will delete it or anonymise it by removing all details that identify you. Being environmental based, we may just delete it to create more server space.
