Privacy Policy

The information below explains our policy regarding your privacy. By visiting www.spreadmusicnow.org or sharing personal information with SpreadMusicNow you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice.

Personally Identifiable Information

When you visit our website or make a donation online or offline, you may provide us with personal information (such as name, address, email address, telephone numbers and/or credit/debit card information) that you knowingly choose to disclose, which is collected on an individual basis for various purposes. These purposes include registering to receive email newsletters or other materials, requesting further information from us about projects and services, donating to us, ordering merchandise, making requests, submitting a form on our website, or simply asking a question. We receive and store any information you enter on our website or give us in any other way, whether it is online or offline. We ask for personal information so that we can fulfill your request and return your message. This information is retained and used in accordance with existing laws, rules, regulations, and other policies. SpreadMusicNow does not collect personal information from you unless you provide it to us. If you choose not to provide any of that information, we may not be able to fulfill your request or complete your order, but you will still be free to browse the other sections of the website owned and administered by SpreadMusicNow. This means that you can visit our site without telling us who you are or revealing any personally identifiable information about yourself.

Personally identifiable information is only accessed by SpreadMusicNow personnel on a "need to know" basis. Additionally, sensitive data such as credit card numbers are encrypted using SSL and other industry standard measures, to provide an additional level of security.

How Information Is Used

SpreadMusicNow does not sell, rent, give-away or share its email addresses or other personal contact information with outside sources. SpreadMusicNow also does not send mailings on behalf of other organizations.

Should any material changes be made to the ways in which we use personally identifiable information, SpreadMusicNow will take commercially reasonable measures to obtain written or email consent from you. We will also post the changes to our use of personally identifiable information on our website at least 30 days prior to a change.
