We use a technology called "cookies" as part of our normal business procedure to allow the Website to function properly. A cookie is an element of data that the Website sends to your browser that is then stored on your system. You can set your browser to prevent this happening although this may affect our service. Any information collected in this way can be used to identify you unless you change your browser settings.
To monitor and improve the performance of our technology, we capture other data such as search criteria, results, downloads and purchases. We only share this data on an aggregate basis for instance to chart reporting companies for compilation of sales charts. We also gather information such as date, time, connection speed and IP address of all service users. We keep this information for our internal security audit log, aggregate trend analysis and system administration. We may sometimes use third party service providers to help us track the activity and user flows within our service. These third parties may use temporary cookies and/or web beaconing technology to facilitate such tracking. Such tracking would track an individual user's movements but the data would not be tracked in a personally identifiable way. Such data would be stored and analysed on an aggregated basis solely for the purpose of internal analysis by us to improve the Service.
Children under the age of 13 are not eligible to use the Website and must not attempt to register with fairsharemusic and/or submit any personal information to us. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from any person who is under the age of 13 or allow them to register. If it comes to our attention that we have collected personal data from a person under the age of 13, we will delete this information as quickly as possible. If you have reason to believe that this has occurred, please contact us at support@fairsharemusic.com, supplying the e-mail address of the account and we will delete all relevant information.

We believe in privacy and therefore will take all reasonable measures to ensure that your personally identifiable information remains private. However, in the event that we are required to disclose personally identifiable information by a court, the police or other law enforcement bodies for their investigations, regulation or other governmental authority we will make such a disclosure without being in violation of this Policy
If Fairshare Music Limited is acquired by another company or sells all or a portion of its assets to another company, or in the event of a merger, it is likely that user information will be a part of the assets transferred. If as a result of such a business transition information is to be collected, used or disclosed in a manner or for a purpose different from that stated above, Fairshare Music Limited will endeavour to notify all users of such changes beforehand.

If you do not consent to the collection, maintenance, processing and transfer of such information in and to the United Kingdom and other countries and territories, then you should not use the Website as a registered user, which means that many features will be unavailable to you.
We have implemented technology and security features, as well as strict internal guidelines, to safeguard the privacy of your personal information from unauthorised access or improper use. We will continue to enhance our security procedures as new technology becomes available. While we make every effort to ensure that your information is secure on our system, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

If you decide that you do not want your personal information to be used in the way described in this Policy, you can send us a notice that you wish to withdraw your consent as set out above by emailing legal@fairsharemusic.com.
