WinModify respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to our website www.winmodify.com / www.winmodify.net
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, and how we use that information.

The WinModify website contains links to other websites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of any companies or individuals that WinModify does not control, or any websites that you link to from the WinModify site. You should use caution and review the privacy policies of any sites that you visit from ours to learn more about their information practices.

Please take a few moments to read this agreement. By accessing the WinModify site, you agree to accept the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy and are aware that our policies may evolve in the future as indicated below.

What do we collect
In various places on the WinModify site, we collect “Personally Identifiable Information,” such as your name, age, gender, e-mail address, or other information that can be used to contact you or identify you as an individual. For example, we collect this information when you register and sign up for e-mail. From time to time in the future we may offer additional features, services, and promotional opportunities that would require you to submit Personally Identifiable Information to participate.

We also collect “Anonymous Information” such as your IP address, the type of browser you use and the pages on our site that you have visited. Your Personally Identifiable Information is linked to your Anonymous Information.

Like many Internet sites, we also use “cookies” to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer and is stored on your hard drive. When you visit our site the cookie identifies your computer to us so that you do not have to re-register each time you visit. We may also use cookies to measure the traffic to our site and the use of different services and features of the site.

Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on the WinModify website.
Google's use of the DART cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to the WinModify site based on your visit to the WinModify website and/or other sites on the Internet.
Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.

How we use the info we collect
We use Personally Identifiable Information that you provide to communicate with you, to customize advertising and content available on the WinModify site, to conduct research for internal purposes and to use such information to improve our services and the WinModify site. If you have uploaded Artist Materials pursuant to the Submissions Agreement, you have also authorized WinModify to use your name and biographical materials publicly for advertising and promotional purposes. If you so choose, we will also use it to send your information about products and services that may be of interest to you.

We use information that is not personally identifiable to determine how people use our website and its services. For example this data tells us information including which files are downloaded most frequently, and which areas of our site are the most popular. Analyzing this data allows us to improve the offerings on and performance of our site. Using your IP address, we can also determine the general physical location of a user and may at times use this information to better target advertising to users.

How we share info
Except as noted below, WinModify does not share your Personally Identifiable Information with third parties unless you give us your permission or we need to share such information in order to provide products or services you have requested. For example, we use third parties to help with some of the products and services available on our site, such as processing payments and fulfilling orders for products through the WinModify website.

We will disclose Personally Identifiable Information when required by law or under the good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary in order to conform to applicable law, comply with subpoenas, court orders or legal process served on WinModify, to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims, and to protect the property or interests of WinModify, its employees, personal safety, or the public. Under such circumstances, WinModify may be prohibited by law, court order or other legal process from providing notice of the disclosure, and WinModify reserves the right to not provide such notice in its sole discretion. If we become part of another organization, including without limitation, by merger, change of control, sale of assets, or other acquisition, the acquiring organization will obtain and have access to the Personally Identifiable Information collected by WinModify and it will assume the rights and obligations regarding your Personally Identifiable Information as described in this Privacy Policy. If we cease operation, your information may be transferred to and used by another company that offers similar or related products or services. While we cannot predict a great deal about such an unlikely event, we would hope this could provide you continuity of service.
