Synthmuseum.com Privacy Statement

About us
Modern information and communication technologies play a fundamental role in the activities of an organization like Synthmuseum.com which operates at an international level. We are based in USA. We are in the business of providing the most accurate and unbiased information about vintage electronic musical instruments and providing other services of value to the electronic music community. Protecting your privacy and your personal data is an important aspect of the way we create, organize and implement our activities on-line and off-line. Please read the following policy to understand how your personal information will be treated as you make full use of the Synthmuseum.com website. This policy may change from time to time so please check back periodically.

Collection of Personal Data
We believe that there should be limits to the collection of personal data and any such data should be obtained by lawful and fair means and, where appropriate, with the knowledge or consent of the data subject. You can access our Web site home page and browse our site http://www.synthmuseum.com without disclosing personal data. We collect your personal data only with your knowledge or your consent. Except for automatic server logging information, we do not collect any other data about your visit to synthmuseum.com.

Cookies
The only place Synthmuseum.com employs the use of Cookies is in the Synthmuseum.com Classifieds area. This is due to the customizable features of this program.

The Classifieds Area
Some personal information is gathered when you register. During registration, we ask for your name and email address. The system will also ask for your street address, city, state/province, zip/postal code, country, telephone number, and the URL of your web site, although only fields that are marked with an asterisk (*) on the registration field are required. This information is used solely to assist you in navigating the system by automatically filling in certain forms (such as the ad posting form) with your information so that you don't have to continually re-enter it. Once you register you are no longer anonymous to Synthmuseum.com - you have a username and are able to take full advantage of the many offerings of the Synthmuseum.com Classifieds.

In addition to registration we may ask you for personal information at other times, including (but not limited to) when you place ads or take advantage of the other features of the Synthmuseum.com Classifieds. If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence. Every page within the Synthmuseum.com Classifieds includes a link to the Privacy Policy statement for the Classifieds.
