Plain-English summary
This privacy policy raises several concerns regarding user data and rights. By merely using the service, users are deemed to agree to its terms. The company disclaims liability for linked third-party sites, meaning users are on their own if data is mishandled there. Data shared via social network logins can be extensive, and sales information for performing artists may be broadly shared with third parties. Users might receive marketing communications from various third parties, and their data could be transferred to new entities during business changes. Furthermore, user-provided information in public forums becomes public domain, and requesting data erasure leads to account termination. Users are also responsible for obtaining third-party consent before sharing their data.
