4. We Do Not Sell Your Personal Information

Platinum Sound does not sell, rent, lease, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to any third party for monetary or other valuable consideration.

This commitment applies to all categories of personal information we collect, including your name, email address, usage data, content, messages, and payment-related information. We do not participate in data broker markets, and we do not share your personal information with advertisers for the purpose of targeting you with third-party advertisements.

This policy is consistent with, and in many cases exceeds, the requirements of applicable privacy laws including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

5. Disclosure of Your Information

We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: Trusted vendors who assist in operating the platform (e.g., payment processors, cloud hosting, email delivery), bound by contractual confidentiality obligations and prohibited from using your data for their own purposes.
• Legal Compliance: When required by applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request.
• Protection of Rights: When we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Platinum Sound, our users, or the public.
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, provided the successor entity honors the commitments of this Privacy Policy.
• With Your Consent: For any other purpose with your explicit consent.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you Services. Upon account deletion, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within 30 days, except where retention is required by applicable law, to resolve disputes, or to enforce our agreements.

Aggregate, anonymized data that cannot reasonably identify you may be retained indefinitely for analytics and platform improvement purposes.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to maintain session state, remember your preferences, and analyze platform usage. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

You may control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may impair the functionality of the Services.

8. Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include encrypted data transmission (TLS/SSL), access controls, and regular security reviews.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at legal@platinumsound.us. We will respond within 30 days.
