Introduction
Welcome! You have arrived at a web site that is owned and/or operated by Overhead.fm, Inc. (“Overhead” or “we,” “our” or “us”). This “Privacy Policy” governs your use of this web site (including, without limitation, both mobile and online versions of our web site), and also applies to your use of interactive features, widgets, applications, content or downloads that interact with the web site and post this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Site”) regardless of how you access or use the Site, whether via personal computers, mobile devices or otherwise. This Privacy Policy only covers information collected at the Site directly by us, and not third parties that may interact with our Site, and does not cover any information collected at any other web site or offline by Overhead (unless specifically stated).
In addition, please review the Site’s Terms of Use, which governs your use of the Site. By using our Site, you consent to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use and our collection, use and sharing of your information and data, and other activities, as described below.
1. What Information Does The Site Collect?
(a) Information You Provide To Us
Personal Information and Demographic Information. On the Site, we may ask you to provide us with certain categories of information such as: (1) personal information, which is information that could reasonably be used to identify you personally, such as your name, e-mail address, and physical address (“Personal Information”); and (2) demographic information, such as information about your gender and occupation (“Demographic Information”). We may collect this information through various forms and in various places on the Site, including account registration forms, subscription purchasing forms, contact us forms or when you otherwise interact with the Site. If we combine Demographic Information with the Personal Information we collect, we will treat it as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy.
(b) Information We Collect As You Access And Use The Site
In addition to any Personal Information or other information that you choose to submit to us, we and our third-party service providers may use a variety of technologies that automatically (or passively) collect certain information whenever you visit or interact with the Site (“ Usage Information”), which technologies may be downloaded to your Device (defined below) and may set or modify settings on your Device. This Usage Information may include the browser that you are using, the URL that referred you to our Site, the areas within our Site that you visit and your activities there, your Device location, your Device characteristics and certain Device data, and the time of day, among other information. We may use Usage Information for a variety of purposes, including to assess, enhance or otherwise improve the Site or our activities in connection with them. In addition, we may collect your IP address or other unique identifier (“Device Identifier”) for your computer or other device used to access the Site (any, a “Device”). A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your Device used to access the Site, and our computers identify your Device by its Device Identifier. We may access and use Device Identifiers that have already been associated with your device, may modify such identifiers to create a new identifier or associate a wholly new identifier with you or your device. Usage Information may be non-identifying or may be associated with you. Whenever we associate Usage Information or a Device Identifier with your Personal Information, we will treat it as Personal Information.
We may use various new and hereafter developed technologies to collect Device Identifiers, Usage Information and Demographic Information about you (“ Tracking Technologies”). A few of the methods that may be used to collect Usage Information, include, without limitation, the following (and subsequent technology and methods hereafter developed):
Cookies . A cookie is a data file placed on a Device when it is used to visit the Site. Cookies may be used for many purposes, including, without limitation, remembering you and your preferences and tracking your visits to and activities on the Site. If you choose to disable cookies on your Device, some features of the Site may not function properly. Regular cookies may generally be disabled or removed by tools that are available as part of most commercial browsers, and in some but not all instances can be blocked in the future by selecting certain settings. Each browser you use will need to be set separately and different browsers offer different functionality and options in this regard. Please be aware that if you disable or remove cookies some parts of our Site may not work and that when you revisit our Site your ability to limit cookies is subject to your browser settings and limitations.
Web Beacons . Small graphic images or other web programming code called web beacons (also known as “1x1 GIFs” or “clear GIFs”) may be included in our Site’s pages and messages. Web beacons may be invisible to you, but any electronic image or other web programming code inserted into a page or e-mail can act as a web beacon. Web beacons or similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes, including, without limitation, to count visitors to the Site, to monitor how users navigate the Site, to count how many e-mails that were sent were actually opened or to count how many particular articles or links were actually viewed.
Embedded Scripts . An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Site, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your Device from our web server or a third party service provider, is active only while you are connected to the Site, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.
There may be other Tracking Technologies now and hereafter devised used by us in connection with the Site. Further, third parties may associate Tracking Technologies with our Site. We may not control those Tracking Technologies and in such event, we are not responsible for them. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of such third parties.
(c) Information You Provide About a Third Party
If you send someone else a communication from the Site, such as sending an invitation to a friend, the information you provide (names, e-mail addresses, etc.) is used to facilitate the communication and is not used by us for any other marketing purpose unless we obtain consent from that person or we explicitly say otherwise. Please be aware that when you use any send-to-a-friend functionality on our Site, your e-mail address and/or name may be included in the communication sent to your addressee(s).
2. How Do We Use The Information Collected?

We may use your Personal Information, Demographic Information or Usage Information that is subject to this Privacy Policy: (1) to provide you with information or services or process transactions that you have requested or agreed to receive including to send you information about Overhead.fm or to provide you with special offers or promotional materials on behalf of us or third parties; (2) to enable you to participate in a variety of the Site’s features; (3) to process your account registration and/or subscription to the Overhead.fm music distribution platform and purchase of products or services from the Site, including verifying your information is active and valid; (4) to improve the Site or our services, to customize your experience on the Site, or to serve you specific content that is relevant to you; (5) to contact you with regard to your use of the Site and, in our discretion, changes to the Site and/or Site’s policies; (6) for internal business purposes; and (7) for purposes disclosed at the time you provide your information or as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy.

5. Do Third Party Content And Links To Third Party Sites Appear on the Site?
The Site may contain content that is supplied by a third party, and those third parties may collect Usage Information and your Device Identifier when web pages from the Site are served to your browser. In addition, when you are on the Site you may be directed to other sites that are operated and controlled by third parties that we do not control. We are not responsible for the data collection and privacy practices employed by any of these third parties or their sites.

These other sites may associate their Tracking Technologies with you, independently collect data about you, including Personal Information and may or may not have their own published privacy policies. We encourage you to note when you leave our Site and to read the privacy statements of all third party sites and exercise caution in connection with those sites.
