ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AND YOUR RIGHTS

At any point while we are in possession of or processing your Personal Information, depending on your location, you have the following rights:

- Right of access – you have a right to request disclosure of your Personal Information, and to receive additional details regarding the Personal Information we collect and its use purposes, including any third parties with which we share your Personal Information. You also have the right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you.

- Right to be forgotten/Have Personal Information deleted – in certain circumstances you can ask for the data we hold about you to be erased from our records and request that we instruct our third party service providers to do the same.  As discussed above, the Company’s services necessarily entail evaluating the Personal Information that Users choose to submit through the Site for the purposes described above. If a User requests deletion of his or her Personal Information, then the Company may not be able to consider the User for further auditioning since that is the purpose of the Site in the first place. 

- Right of portability – in response to a request for disclosure, you have the right to have the Personal Information we hold about you in a readily usable format.

- Right to Opt-Out – you have the right to opt-out of sales of your Personal Information to third parties. As discussed above, the Company’s services necessarily entail evaluating the provision of Personal Information of Users for the purposes described above.

- Right of rectification – you have a right to correct data that we hold about you that is inaccurate or incomplete.

- Right to restriction of processing – where certain conditions apply to have a right to restrict the processing.

- Right to object – you have the right to object to and opt-out of certain types of processing such as direct marketing.

- Right to object to automated processing, including profiling – you also have the right to be subject to the legal effects of automated processing or profiling.

- Right to judicial review – in the event that the Company refuses your request under rights of access, we will provide you with a reason as to why. You have the right to complain as outlined below.

- Non-Discrimination - You have the right not to be discriminated against by denying goods or services to you, charging a different price or rate for goods or services, providing a different level or quality of goods or services, or suggesting that we will do any of these things based upon your exercise of any CCPA or CPRA rights. As discussed above, while the Company will never refuse to permit you to use the Company’s services or Site or change the conditions for you to use the Company services or Site based on exercise of CCPA or CPRA rights, the very nature of the Company’s services necessarily entails Users providing Personal Information for the purposes described above. As discussed, if a User opts-out or exercises deletion rights or other relevant CCPA, CPRA or GDPR rights, then the Company may not be able to consider that User or properly evaluate them for further auditioning.

- Right to limit use of sensitive Personal Information to specifically permitted purposes.

- Third parties must also give consumers explicit notice and an opportunity to opt out before re-selling personal information that the third party acquired from another business.

 

In the event that the Company has not taken action with respect to a request to exercise any of your rights listed above, we will provide you with a reason as to why. For example, there may be circumstances when we cannot delete data, such as if you have entered into an agreement with us, we may need to retain a copy of the agreement, or if you provided a W9 for payment purposes, we may need to retain it for tax purposes.

 

EXERCISING YOUR RIGHTS

Depending on whether the above apply to you, to exercise your rights described above, you may submit a verifiable consumer request to us by:

- Emailing us at privacy@hybegeffen-audition.com

- Calling us at 1-800-923-0816

 

Requests to access Personal Information can only be made twice within a twelve (12) month period. We will respond within forty-five (45) days of receiving a Personal Information request.

 

SHARING PERSONAL INFORMATION

In the preceding twelve (12) months, we have not sold any Personal Information to third party marketers.  In the future, we may sell Personal Information to third party marketers.  The Company may share Users’ Personal Information with its affiliates, music label partners, and other third parties who may evaluate potential, past, or current contestants, assist with the production of entertainment content or auditions, or provide other services related to auditions or the overall project. By using the Company services and/or the Site, you expressly consent to this.  

 

INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE TO US

The Company collects Personal Information through the Site at several points.

We (or our service providers) collect information from you when you: (1) register with us on our Sites or otherwise use the services; (2) create a profile with us (the “Profile”), or otherwise sign up for a service or feature; (3) complete a survey or fill out information on our Sites or on third party forms that we use or in response to one of our inquiries; (4) communicate with us via third-party social media sites; (5) audition with us; or (6) contact us, or otherwise communicate with us or provide information to us. 

 

When you visit our Sites, we also collect anonymous information such as your IP address or domain name to analyze Site traffic, but this information is not personally identifiable. We will use this information to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer our Sites, or to display the content according to your preferences. Traffic and transaction information may also be shared with business partners and advertisers on an aggregate and anonymous basis.

In some cases, you may provide information to us about another person, such as when you share Site content or provide references. In such cases, you represent that you have the authorization of such person to provide us with or ask us to obtain such information.

We may combine your (and others’) information that we have collected from you (or others) with information we may receive from other sources, such as government websites, address update services and co-promotion partners. By accessing our Sites, you signify your consent to the above collection of your Personal Information.

When you are creating a Profile for the first time on a Site you might supply identifying data (email address, or government issued ID) that you have previously provided to us and we may recognize that identifying data or other information previously provided and, once you have completed the account set-up process, you may be able to see your contact information already included in your new online Profile. This is happening because we have recognized your identifying data or other previously provided information and, for your convenience, have added your information to your Profile.

If you do not want us to collect your Personal Information, please do not provide it to us. In addition, you can revoke your consent in accordance with the procedures set forth below.

If you receive an email or other correspondence requesting that you provide any sensitive information (including your Site credentials or credit card or other personal information) via email or to a web site that does not seem to be affiliated with the Site, or that otherwise seems suspicious to you, please do not provide such information, and report such request to us at privacy@hybegeffen-audition.com or 1-800-923-0816.

 

SITE INFORMATION & OTHER INFORMATION COLLECTED AUTOMATICALLY

As part of the standard operation of the Sites, certain information is collected automatically or passively from or about you in connection with your visit to the Sites. Our servers may automatically gather some of the Site Usage Information (as defined below) or we (or our service providers) may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and track such information.

Site Usage Information includes, but is not limited to: (i) your browser type, device type, carrier (if applicable), device address, operating system, operating system address, IP address and the domain name from where you accessed a Site; (ii) information about your region, continent, country, city, zip code, time zone, and general location; and (iii) information about your browsing activities on and through a Site (also known as “Click Stream” data), such as (a) the date and time you visit one of the Sites, (b) the areas or pages of a Site that you visit, (c) the amount of time you spend viewing a Site or specific areas of a Site, (d) the number of times you return to a Site or a specific area of a Site, (e) the web sites or pages you visited prior to visiting a Site, (f) the websites or pages you visit after you leave a Site; (g) searches you have performed on a Site and on other websites that led you to our Sites; (h) social plug-ins with the Company you have interacted on our Sites; and (j) other similar Site usage data (collectively, the “Site Usage Information”).

If you provide or connect your third-party account credentials to an account with our Site, some content and/or information in those accounts may be transmitted into your account with us. For example, when you connect with Facebook, we receive and collect your name, email address and profile photo.

 

COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

We and our service providers may use cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, and other similar technologies, which allow us to, among other things, optimize our Sites and to understand traffic and usage patterns. Additionally, if the settings on your location-aware device allow us to receive geo-location data or information, we may collect that information automatically.

A cookie is a small data file that is sent to your web browser and placed on your computer or device when you access a website. Cookies allow parties (including us, our service providers and others) to: (i) track your activities on the Sites,(ii) recognize your computer or device so that you are able to save your preference and stay logged in to the Sites without having to re-enter your Account credentials; (iii) deliver customized content to you; (iv) preserve the contents of your session during your visit to a Site; (v) and otherwise enhance and personalize your experience on the Sites. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, most devices allow you to decline the use of cookies. We recommend that you leave cookies turned on because if you elect not to allow them, you may not be able to use or to enjoy all of the services and features of the Sites.

We may use Flash cookies and other similar technologies, which allow a website to store certain information locally on an individual’s computer or device and then access and use that information to enhance and facilitate certain Site experiences, processes and functionality. Flash cookies are different from other cookies and may not be removed in the same manner. More information about both kinds of cookies is available at www.allaboutcookies.org.

We also use web beacons (also known as “clear GIFs” or “pixel tags”) for similar purposes as cookies. These beacons are typically one-pixel images that are embedded in the Site or in a communication, such as an email message. These technologies help us to verify when a certain page of a Site is viewed, when a message is opened and when links or other content in a message are clicked or viewed.

We may use third party web analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to help us track and analyze the use of our Site and to measure the effectiveness of our systems, Site content, and communications.

 

DO NOT TRACK

We currently do not participate in any “Do Not Track” frameworks that would allow us to respond to signals or other mechanisms from you regarding the collection of your information. We may engage third parties, such as marketing or analytics partners, who may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use our website. To learn more about browser tracking signals and “Do Not Track,” please visit http://allaboutdnt.org.

 

THIRD PARTY ADVERTISING

Some of the window dressing appearing on our Site may be delivered to you by our Web advertising partner or partners. Information about your visit to a partner site or sites, such as number of times you have viewed an ad (but not your name, e-mail, or other Personal Information), is used to serve ads to you.

We also work with service providers and partner with advertising companies that use cookies, web beacons and other tools to collect information about your visits to and behavior on the Sites and other websites, and then use that information to deliver targeted advertisements to you across the Internet. The information collected and used in this manner is generally, on its own, anonymous and not personally identifiable.

We may use the information we collect from and about you for a variety of purposes, including but not limited to as discussed above and the following:

(i) To fulfill requests for services; (ii) to provide you with targeted offers and advertising on and at the Sites; (iii) subject to your communications preferences and, where required by applicable law, subject to your consent, to contact you (via postal mail, email and the like) with promotional materials about us, our products, our services and our events, as well as about select partners (in addition (we send transactional emails to you regarding your Profile, our services and our business relationship); (iv) to contact you when necessary or appropriate to discuss your Profile and the services we are providing and to review and improve our customer service, online and offline operations and overall experience; (v) to share your Personal Information with third parties for our marketing, commercial and advertising purposes, subject to your opt-out rights as set forth in this Privacy Policy; (vi) to protect the security or integrity of the Sites and our business; (vii) and otherwise, with your permission or as permitted by law.

If you provide us with information about another person (as described above in the “Information You Provide To Us” section), where permitted applicable by law, we use that information to fulfill your requests and treat such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To use certain aspects of our services, we may require credit or debit card account information or bank account information.

While we require that such third party merchants, billing processors, and payment processors use reasonable procedures to help protect your credit or debit card information, we cannot guarantee that transmissions of your credit or debit card account information or Personal Information will always be secure or that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat the security measures taken by us or our third-party service providers. We assume no liability or responsibility for disclosure of your information due to errors in transmission, unauthorized third-party access, or other causes beyond our control.

  • - To data partners for the purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy;
  • - To our service providers and suppliers, who collect or use such information for us or on our behalf (such as website or database hosting companies, address list hosting companies, email service providers, analytics companies, distribution companies, fulfillment companies, and other similar entities that help us to operate the Site and/or provide functionality, content and services);

YOUR CHOICES / YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

If you would like to opt out of receiving direct marketing mail or promotional emails from us, please contact us at privacy@hybegeffen-audition.com or 1-800-923-0816. Please understand that if you opt out of receiving promotional correspondence from us, we may still contact you in connection with your Profile, relationship, activities, transactions and communications with us.

If you would prefer that we not share your Personal Information with third-parties, please contact us at privacy@hybegeffen-audition.com or 1-800-923-0816 and/or click the Do Not Sell My Personal Information link on our Site. Please understand that if you do request that we stop sharing your Personal Information with third parties, such request will only apply as of the date of your request, and we will not be responsible for any communications that you may receive from third parties that received your Personal Information prior to that request. In these cases, please opt out from or contact the third party directly. If you request that we do not share your Personal Information with any third parties at all, then do not use our service, do not provide any Personal Information in a Profile and if you have already done so and later ask that we do not share such information, then we will likely not be able to consider you for our auditioning process since that is one of the main reasons for engaging the Company in the first place.

 

CONSENT

By consenting to this Privacy Policy you are giving us permission to process your Personal Information specifically for the purposes identified.

You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us privacy@hybegeffen-audition.com or 1-800-923-0816.  We try to respond to all legitimate requests within thirty (30) days. Occasionally it may take us longer than thirty (30) days if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated. Again, if you withdraw consent for processing your Personal Information, we will likely not be able to consider you for our auditioning process since that is one of the main reasons for engaging the Company in the first place.

 

SECURITY

We have implemented measures in an effort to safeguard the Personal Information in our custody and control. Such measures include, for example, limiting access to Personal Information only to employees and authorized service providers who need to know such information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, as well as other administrative, technical and physical safeguards consistent with the best industry custom and practice. Additionally, our service providers are not authorized to use or disclose your Personal Information for any purpose other than providing the services to us or on our behalf, or as otherwise may be required by applicable law. While we endeavor to always protect our systems, due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle and other risk factors, we cannot guarantee that any information, during transmission or while stored on our systems, will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others, such as hackers.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account or Profile credentials, and we strongly recommend that you do not disclose your account or Profile credentials to anyone. We will never ask you for your password in any unsolicited communication. Please notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account credentials or any other suspected breach of security.

 

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

The Sites are not directed to children under the age of thirteen (13). If you are under thirteen (13), do not provide your Personal Information on or to the Site. We do not knowingly collect on the Sites any Personal Information from children under thirteen (13). If a parent or guardian becomes aware of his or her child has provided us with Personal Information without their consent, please contact us at: privacy@hybegeffen-audition.com or 1-800-923-0816. Moreover, the CCPA prohibits us from selling any Personal Information of children under the age of 16 without express consent.  All Users must represent and warrant that they are at least 16 years old if a European Union citizen and 15 years old if a non-European Union citizen and expressly consent to the use, processing and sharing of their personal information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.  Users outside the age of majority in the applicable jurisdiction should not use the Sites without authorization from a parent or legal guardian.

 

THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

This Privacy Policy does not apply to such websites or services, so we recommend that you review their posted privacy policies so that you understand the relevant information collection, use and disclosure practices.

 

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time and the amended policy will be posted to the Sites. We reserve the right to update, change, amend or modify this Policy at any time and from time to time without prior notice. When we post changes to this Privacy Policy, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of the Privacy Policy. Your continued use of the Sites after any changes or revisions to this Privacy Policy become effective shall indicate your agreement with the terms of such revised and then-current Privacy Policy.

 

RETENTION

We will process (collect, store and use) the information you provide in a manner compatible with the CCPA, CPRA, the GDPR and applicable law. We will endeavor to keep your information accurate and up to date, and not keep it for longer than is necessary. The Company is required to retain information in accordance with the law, such as information needed for income tax and audit purposes. Otherwise, we will only process Personal Information for so long as reasonably required to provide the services.

This clause shall not preclude the parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court with appropriate jurisdiction, including equitable relief or other provisional relief as appropriate, in which case the parties submit to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts of Los Angeles, California. Notwithstanding anything else in this Privacy Policy or the JAMS rules, any parties subject to this arbitration provision shall be barred from bringing or participating in any Class Action (as defined below) related to a dispute covered by this arbitration provision. Notwithstanding anything else in this Privacy Policy or the JAMS rules, it is agreed that the arbitrator is specifically denied the authority to consider or certify any Class Action under this Privacy Policy. However, if these Class Action restrictions are ever deemed illegal or unenforceable, they shall be severed from this arbitration provision. In that event, any Class Action shall by exempted from this arbitration provision and brought in court of competent jurisdiction, in connection therewith and each of the parties consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of the State of California, Los Angeles County. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, the term “Class Action” shall mean claims brought on behalf of or allegedly representing or including other persons or entities, including but not limited to any class, consolidated, representative, collective or private attorney general action.
