it is your right to control your personal information. We know
that providing personal information is an act of trust and we take
that trust seriously.
6.1 Personal Information. If you register for any of the Services
you will be asked to provide basic personal information. The information
is used solely for notifying you of changes or updates to the Website/Services.
Rebel Dean will never sell, rent or otherwise disclose any of your
personal information, including your email address, to any third
party without your consent unless: 1) we are required to by law;
or 2) if it is necessary to provide the Services.
6.2 Communications from Us and Mailing Lists. In order to keep
our users informed about the operation of our Website/Services,
we may send e-mails and announcements to your personal email address
that you have provided to us upon registration. We may also offer
options for you to sign up for our mailing lists without having
to use any product or service. For additional information and offers,
we give you the option of joining our mailing lists. We may also
allow you to choose whether to receive mailings from record labels
and other promotional partners that we think will be of interest
to you. Any promotional e-mail from us will come with instructions
for how to unsubscribe from the mailing list.
6.3 Competitions. We may hold competitions in connection with
the Service, or in partnership with one or more of our partners
or sponsors, as part of which, we may request contact information
from you when you enter. We will use the information you provide
to conduct the competitions and for other purposes to which you
consent. If we offer competitions with third parties, we may share
the information we obtain from you with them. If that is the case,
then we will notify you that we are sharing your personal information
with such partner at the point where we collect it and you will
be able to choose whether to participate in the applicable competition.
6.4 Payment Information. If you pay Rebel Dean for the Services,
your payment information will only be used to check that it is
a valid method of payment and to process your payment. No payment
information is kept by Rebel Dean other than to facilitate the
provision of Services to you. You will always be able to remove
any such stored payment details if required.
6.5 Use of Vouchers. Vouchers for Services may be provided from
time to time by Rebel Dean, its partners or sponsors. If you redeem
a voucher to pay for Services, you may be required to provide additional
personal information which may be shared with a third party. If
that is the case, then we will notify you that we are sharing your
personal information with such partner at the point where we collect
it and you will be able to choose whether to use the voucher.
6.6 Your Rights. If you are a registered user, you have certain
rights under the 1998 Data Protection Act. You have the right to
be told what personal information we hold about you on our database.
Should you wish to exercise that right, or if you have any questions
concerning the Rebel Dean privacy policy, please write to: admin@rebeldean.com
6.7 Cookies. We use a technology called “cookies” as
part of our normal business procedure to enhance the user experience
and to track patterns of behaviour of visitors to the Website.
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. Any information collected in this way can
be used to identify you unless you change your browser settings.
6.8 Aggregated Information. To monitor and improve the performance
of our technology, we capture other data such as search criteria,
results, download and purchases. We do not share this data. 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. Such data would be stored and analysed on an aggregated
basis solely for the purpose of internal analysis by Rebel Dean
to improve the Service.
6.9 Security. Rebel Dean has 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 employ SSL encryption via PayPal to secure your
personal data and payment information. 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. As a result, we cannot guarantee the security
of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own
risk.
7 USER ACCOUNT, PASSWORD AND SECURITY
7.1 Password Security. If a particular Service requires you to
open an account you will be required to complete the registration
process by providing certain information and registering a username
and password for use with that Service. You are responsible for
maintaining the confidentiality of the username and password. You
are fully responsible for any unauthorised person’s use of
the Website/Services, including all financial charges and legal
liability that he or she may incur. We recommend that you change
your password from time to time for additional security. If you
believe someone has accessed any Service using your user name and
password without your authorisation, it is your responsibility
to set up a new password.
7.2 Unauthorised Access. You agree to immediately notify us of
any unauthorised use of your password or account or any other breach
of security. In no event will Rebel Dean be liable for any indirect
or consequential loss or damage whatsoever resulting from the disclosure
of your username and/or password. You may not use another person’s
account at any time, without the express permission of the account
holder. You agree that we will be entitled to assume that any person
logging into the Websites using your username and password is either
you or someone doing so with your permission.
