Here at MelodicArts we believe that your personal information deserves to be protected. You can browse the site without providing any personal information at all. However, if you want to make a purchase, receive our automated site newsletters or product updates, you will need to provide the necessary details.

What does MelodicArts use your personal information for?

• To process your orders.
• To automatically send you site updates and newsletters if you so request.

We may also use personal account information and data collected through your personal identification to generate statistics and aggregate reports for internal use and for sharing with our artists. These statistics and aggregate reports will not contain any personally identifiable information. Your identity is kept anonymous.

How does MelodicArts.com protect your personal information?

When you register or place an order, it's done through a secure server. By using 128-bit encryption through Secure Socket Layers (SSL), the most advanced security available today, we ensure that your information will remain encrypted until it reaches the MelodicArts.com server.

Does MelodicArts.com use "cookies"?

Depending on how you have configured your browser, when you log in to our catalog, a small file—a "cookie"—is stored on your computer's hard drive. The cookie contains a unique identification number that identifies you without storing any personal information. This unique ID number is inaccessible to any web site except MelodicArts.com. It is used to track your shopping cart as you go through the site. Other cookies are used for site navigation and sales of digital products.

If you arrive at MelodicArts.com with your cookies turned off, we cannot track your shopping cart and you will not be able to purchase merchandise.

Does MelodicArts disclose personal customer information to third parties?

We feel that your personal information should be just that—personal. MelodicArts does not sell, rent or make available visitors' non-aggregated specific personal information to anyone other than MelodicArts. If, and only if you indicate that we can share your order details with the artist(s) whose products you are purchasing would we possibly provide them with that information.

If we decide to do so in the future, MelodicArts would announce such a plan, and visitors could choose to participate or not. In the absence of information to the contrary, we would assume that you do not want your personal information shared. You would have to clearly indicate your wish to do so before any information was forwarded to a third party.

MelodicArts reserves the right to cooperate with local, provincial and national officials in any investigation requiring either personal information—including any personal information provided online through www.melodicarts.com—or reports about lawful or unlawful visitor activities on this site.

MelodicArts also reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. We also reserve the right at any time to disclose any information in an individual's account:

1. to satisfy any law, regulation or government request;
2. if such disclosure is necessary or appropriate to site operation; or
3. to protect the rights or property of MelodicArts and our users, artists, or providers.
