We and our service providers may collect this information using “cookies,” “web beacons,” and similar technologies. Cookies are small text files that the Services save on your computer or device and access when you return. Cookies can be used to recognize repeat visitors, facilitate your ongoing access to and use of the Services, and allow the Services to collect information about how the Services are used. If you do not want the Services to collect information through the use of cookies, most browsers allow you to deny or accept cookies. See your browser’s help menu for more information. Web beacons are small snippets of code embedded in webpages and are typically used to monitor activity on the webpage, collect information, or transfer information to services.

Information from Other Sources – We may collect information from third-party sources and combine it with the information described above. That information may include, but is not limited to, demographic information, information from performance rights organizations, and additional contact information.

You may be able to use third party login credentials (e.g., Facebook) to access the Services. When you do so, we may collect information from the third party associated with the login credentials. You may be able to control the information that the third party shares with us by changing the privacy settings for your account with that third party. By associating an account managed by a third party with your TuneAfrique account and authorizing TuneAfrique to have access to this information, you agree that TuneAfrique may collect, use, and share that information consistent with this Privacy Policy.
