Automatic Data Collection
Listening Activity: We keep track of your listening activity. We collect information about stations, favorites, artists and tracks you have listened to or in which you have expressed an interest. Information about your computer or device: We may also collect information about the computer, mobile or other devices you use to access the Service.

We collect this information to provide content and services that are customized for your geographic area.
Tracking technology: We use what are commonly called "cookies" on our Site. A cookie is a piece of information that the computer that hosts our Site gives to your browser when you access the Site. These cookies help us improve the Service, provide additional functionality to the Site and help us analyze Site usage more accurately. For instance, our Site may set a cookie on your browser that allows you to access the Site without needing to remember and then enter a password more than once during a visit to the Site. We may also be able to capture other data such as searches conducted and results, date, time, and connection speed.

Please refer to this section for information on how to receive notification when you are receiving a new cookie and how to turn cookies off. We recommend that you leave cookies turned on because they allow you to take advantage of some of the Site's features.

Our use of the information we collect
We use the information that we collect for the following purposes:
How the information we collect is shared
We are not in the business of selling your information. We consider this information to be a vital part of our relationship with you. There are, however, certain circumstances in which we may share your personal information with certain third parties without further notice to you, as set forth below:
Non-Identifiable or Aggregated Data
We also receive and store certain non-personally identifiable information. Such information, which is collected passively using various technologies, cannot presently be used to specifically identify you. We may store such information itself or such information may be included in databases owned and maintained by our affiliates, agents or service providers. We may use such information and pool it with other information to track, for example, the total number of visitors to our Site, the number of visitors to each page of our Site, the domain names of our visitors' Internet service providers, and how our users use and interact with the Service. Also, in an ongoing effort to better understand and serve the users of the Service, we often conduct research on our customer demographics, interests and behavior based on the personal information and other information provided to us. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis. We may share this non-identifiable and aggregate data with our affiliates, agents and business partners, but this type of non-identifiable and aggregate information does not identify you personally. We may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to current and prospective business partners, and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.The use and disclosure of this non-personally identifiable information is not subject to restrictions under this Privacy Policy.
Your Choices
You can visit the Site without providing any personal information. If you choose not to provide any personal information, you may not be able to use certain features of our Service.
Exclusions
This Privacy Policy does not apply to any personal data collected by Gaincode other than personal data collected through the Service. This Privacy Policy shall not apply to any unsolicited information you provide to us through the Service or through any other means. This includes, but is not limited to, information posted to any public areas of the Service, such as bulletin boards (collectively, "Public Areas"), any ideas for new products or modifications to existing products, and other unsolicited submissions (collectively, "Unsolicited Information"). All Unsolicited Information shall be deemed to be non- confidential and we shall be free to reproduce, use, disclose, distribute and exploit such Unsolicited Information without limitation or attribution.
How we protect your information
We have taken reasonable steps to protect the personal information provided via the Service from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's Internet usage and to help enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing their children never to provide personal information through the Gaincode Service without their permission.
