Introduction
The DJ Book is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. Should we ask you to provide certain information by which you can be identified when using this website, you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.
The DJ Book reserves the right to revise or edit the privacy policy as required. You are responsible for regularly reviewing the privacy policy, and other terms, notices, and additional terms posted on The DJ Book website.
This privacy policy sets out how The DJ Book uses and protects any information that you give The DJ Book when you use this website.
What we collect
When you use The DJ Book you provide us with two types of information. The first is personal information that you choose to knowingly disclose to us, which includes:
The second type of information is the website usage information collected by us as you use the website, this includes:
In addition to the above information, when you use The DJ Book and our services, you may set up your profile, send messages, perform searches and queries, form groups, set up events, add applications/widgets, provide additional information for services, and transmit information through various channels. We collect this information so that we can provide you the service and offer personalised features.
What we do with the information we gather
We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons:
In most cases, we retain information so that, for instance, you can return to view prior messages you have sent or easily see your contact/friends list. When you update information, we usually keep a backup copy of the prior version for a reasonable period of time to enable reversion to the prior version of that information.
The DJ Book may send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the website and services. For instance, if a user sends you a new message or updates their profile, or someone posts a comment on your profile, you may receive an email alerting you to that fact.
Generally, you can opt out of such emails and mailing lists through the Notifications settings, though The DJ Book reserves the right to send you emails about your account even if you opt out of all email notifications.
The DJ Book may use information in your profile without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do this for purposes such as aggregating how many people like a song or club and personalising advertisements and promotions. We believe this benefits you by allowing us to provide you with advertisements and promotions relevant to your likes and interests.
Third Party Advertising
Advertisements that appear on The DJ Book are sometimes delivered (or "served") directly to users by third party advertisers. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. These third party advertisers may also download cookies to your computer, or use other technologies such as JavaScript and "web beacons" (also known as "1x1 gifs") to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalise advertising content. Doing this allows the advertising network to recognise your computer each time they send you an advertisement in order to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalise advertising content. In this way, they may compile information about where individuals using your computer or browser saw their advertisements and determine which advertisements are clicked. The DJ Book does not have access to or control of cookies that may be placed by the third party advertisers. Third party advertisers have no access to your contact information stored on The DJ Book unless you choose to share it with them.
This privacy policy does not cover the use of cookies or other tracking technologies by any of its advertisers.
Security
We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure of user information, we have taken appropriate precautions and put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. When you enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number or your password), we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).
Because email and instant messaging are not recognised as secure communications, we strongly recommend that you do not send private information to us by email or instant messaging services. If you have any questions about the security of The DJ Book website, please contact us using the details below.
