Laycut Records, Inc. (“Company,” or “we,” or “us,” or “our”) has created this privacy policy (the “Policy”) to explain its privacy practices to any and all potential visitors so they will understand when and how business or personal information is collected, used, disclosed and protected with respect to this website (the “Site”). Individuals must be 18 years of age or older (or the age of majority in your state) to use this Site and you warrant that you are 18 years of age or older. By using the Site, you consent to the privacy practices described in this Policy, as modified from time to time by us. Therefore, you should carefully review this policy so you understand our privacy practices.
Use of Information
Our Site may collect up to two kinds of information: company/personal (such as company name, your name, address and e-mail address); and aggregate information (such as the number of users who log on to the Site on a daily basis). As a general policy, no personally identifiable information (“Private Information”) is automatically collected from your visit to our Site. However, if you download company music (“Company Music”) for personal use or request a license agreement for commercial use of Company Music and/or engage in the Company’s e-commerce, promotional or interactive activities offered on the Site, you will be asked to provide us with some specific information about your company and/or yourself (“Private Information”). We collect Private Information (which you provide) that may include your: (i) company name; (ii) your first and last name; (iii) billing address; (iv) email address; (v) phone number; (vi) credit card or PayPal account number; (vii) items purchased from us; and (viii) browsing and purchase patterns. As warranted, you may be able to change or update your Private Information on the Site. The Private Information you submit will be used in connection with your activities, and to carry out your requests, respond to your inquiries, and to notify you (if applicable) regarding any promotions or product updates. By providing any Private Information to the Site, all users, including without limitation users fully understand and consent to the collection and processing of such information in the United States.
From time to time, we may collect general statistical or aggregate information. Such information can include the type of browsers being used (e.g., Microsoft Edge®, Safari®, Firefox), the operating system you are using (e.g., Windows®, Android®,, iOS® or Mac® OS), the number of users that visit a specific page on the Site and the character and duration of such visits. This information may be used to help analyze Site traffic and improve our services. At no point, however, will the aggregated information personally identify you.
We reserve the right to disclose any personal or aggregate information if required to do so by law, including compliance with legal process served on Company, or if we believe that such action is necessary in order to (a) protect or defend the legal rights or property of Company, the Site, or its users, sponsors, providers, licensors or merchants; or (b) protect the health and safety of the Site's users, sponsors, providers, licensors or merchants or the general public in an emergency.

USE OF PRIVATE INFORMATION
Internal Use of Private Information
In general, we use Private Information internally to serve our users, to enhance and extend our user relationships so our users may take maximum advantage of our Company Music products and services. For example, by understanding how you use our Site from your computer or mobile device, we are able to customize and personalize your experience.

You should review the following section to understand when Company discloses Private Information to non-affiliated third parties.
Use and Disclosure of Private Information
The following section describes these uses and disclosure practices more fully:
Internal Analysis. We may use information about you or your company for our own internal statistical, design, or operational purposes, such as to estimate our audience size, measure aggregate traffic patterns as well as to understand demographic, customer interest, and other trends among our users. We may outsource these tasks to third parties; however, the third parties may not use or disclose your personal information for any other purposes.
Google Analytics
The Site uses Google Analytics that helps Company understand how visitors engage and interact with our Site so we can improve it. Google Analytics collects information anonymously. It reports website trends without identifying individual visitors. You can opt out of Google Analytics without affecting how you visit the Site. For more information on opting out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites you use, visit our Contact page.
Data Storage. Private Information as well as aggregate information shared with our authorized third parties may be stored on our internal equipment to which we allow access, or, the data may reside on their own respective external equipment.
Business Transfers: Information about our users and the Site is one of our most important business assets. Therefore, information about our users, including personal information, will be disclosed as part of any merger or acquisition, creation of a separate business to provide the Site or fulfill products, sale or pledge of Company assets as well as in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership in which personal information would be transferred as one of the business assets of the Company.
Protection of Company and Others: As referenced above, we release personal information when we believe it is appropriate to comply with the law (e.g., a lawful subpoena, warrant or court order); to enforce or apply our policies; to protect our rights or property, or to protect our users from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of, our Site; or if we reasonably believe that an emergency involving immediate danger of death or serious physical injury to any person requires disclosure of communications or justifies disclosure of records without delay.
Security of Private Information
We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect against unauthorized access, use, modification and disclosure of Private Information in our custody and control. We also are committed to employing reasonable technology in order to protect the security of our Site. However, even with the best technology, no Site is 100% secure. We will take reasonable measures which we believe are appropriate to protect your Private Information from loss, misuse, alteration or destruction, and, where possible, will ask that any third parties to whom we may transfer such information to take comparable steps to protect that security. Although we will exercise great care to provide a secure transmission, we cannot guarantee that the Private Information you submit to us will be free from unauthorized third party intrusion. You, therefore, understand and agree that all information you submit to Company is done so at your own risk.

Please be aware that we may provide links to third party websites from the Site as a service to our users and we are not responsible for the content or information collection or use practices of those sites. Accordingly, we hereby expressly disclaim all responsibility and liability which may arise therefrom or in connection therewith.
