Privacy Policy
Your security and privacy are important. Music for Makers maintains the following standards to help protect your personal information as you use this website. Please read this Privacy Policy in its entirety to understand how we will collect and handle the privacy of your personal information.
1. Definitions
To ensure we start things off on the same page, here are a few terms we’ll be using.
Whenever we say “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Music for Makers,” we’re referring to Polymath Digital, LLC, d/b/a Music for Makers, a state of Oregon limited liability company. Our “Services” include providing royalty-free music tracks to you. And by “you,” we mean a visitor of https://musicformakers.com (“Site”).
This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) covers how we collect and use any information that might be used to personally identify you (“Personal Information”).
2. Overview
This Policy applies to any person or entity that directly or indirectly uses or accesses the Site, Services, or any other properties owned by Polymath Digital, LLC.
You must be 18 or older to use the Site and Services. If you’re not, you should’t submit any Personal Information to Music for Makers or use the Site. This Policy is effective with respect to any data that we have collected, or collect, about and/or from you, according to our Terms of Use.
By using the Site (for example, when you access the Site or utilize the Services), you consent to our collection, use, and sharing of your personal information as described in the Policy. We may use and disclose the information that you provide through the Site only for purposes permitted or required by law, for purposes described in this Policy, or for purposes that you might authorize.
If you do not wish for us to use or disclose your Personal Information as described in this Policy, please do not use the Site.
3. Information We Collect
a) Information you voluntarily provide. When you sign up for and use the Services, submit a contact form message, or communicate with us in any way, you voluntarily give us information. This may include your name and email address.
b) Information automatically collected. When you use the Site, we may collect details about you and your visit, such as your IP address, browser settings, operating system, language preferences, and on-site behavior. Any of such data is anonymized and cannot be tracked back to you.
d) Information collected by cookies. We may use cookies to track your usage of the Site in order to improve your experience. You can learn more about our Cookie Policy in the next section.
4. Cookie Policy
We may collect information about you through the use of both session and persistent “cookies” — small files that are transferred from your browser to your computer’s hard drive. Cookies allow us to know certain things about your visit to the Site and personalize your experience.
a) The purpose of cookies. Cookies and similar technologies exist to improve your experience on the Site by making it easier for you to navigate through the Site, save your preferences, and make Site features work better. For example, we use Fullstory, which sets cookies, to identify and fix bugs. Because of this, our cookies are considered “essential” to the functionality of the Site.
b) What cookies track. Cookies may collect information regarding your browser, type of computer, operating system, Internet service provider, and other similar information. Cookie technology may also gather information about the areas you visit on our Site and about the links you may select from within our Site to other areas of the Internet. We do not extract Personal Information during this process.
c) How to change cookie settings. Most browsers allow you to erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block all cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please refer to your browser instructions to learn more about these functions. But keep in mind that if you reject cookies, functionality of the Site may be limited, and you may not be able to take advantage of many of the Site’s features.
5. How We Use Your Information
By using the Site and providing us with your Personal Information, you consent to our use of such information as described in this Policy. You may always refuse to provide your Personal Information. But this may lead to our inability to provide you with Services offered under the Site.
We use your Personal Information in connection with the Site to do the following:
a) Provide the Services. The Personal Information we collect is essential to our Services. For example, if you sign up for the email newsletter, we’ll use the information you submit to send you the newsletter.
b) Promote the Site or Services. If you sign up for our email newsletter, we may occasionally send promotional messages about our blog posts or paid services. You can unsubscribe from our email distribution list at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any email you receive from Music for Makers.

d) Provide customer support. If you submit a request through our contact form or by email, we’ll use your Personal Information to better serve you. Or if we’re making changes to the Site or Services that may affect you, we may send you an alert.
6. When We Share Your Information
Other than for the specific purposes listed below, we will not disclose your Personal Information unless we obtain your prior consent. And we will never rent or sell your Personal Information.
a) Processing payments. Music for Makers doesn’t directly process transactions completed on the Site. Instead, we rely on Stripe to provide this service. This business partner has access to your Personal Information only to the extent necessary to perform these specific functions and may not use it for any other purpose. To learn more about how this service uses and protects your data, visit the Stripe Privacy Policy.
b) Deploying email campaigns. If you give us your email address, that information may be transferred to and processed by MailChimp, an email service provider. As one of our data processors, MailChimp allows us to collect and securely store your email address and deploy email campaigns to you. For more information, please refer to Mailchimp’s Privacy Policy.
c) Measuring website traffic behavior. The Site uses Fullstory. By using this Site, you accept the terms of the FullStory Privacy Policy. Similarly, our website hosting provider, Netlify, may collect anonymous data about this Site’s traffic. You can find the Netlify Privacy Policy here.
d) Meeting legal requirements. We may share your information in order to comply with court orders, valid subpoenas, and other legal processes, or if we find that your action on our Site violates the Music License, the General Terms of Use, or any of our usage guidelines for specific Services.
7. How We Store and Protect Your Information
Music for Makers follows standard policies and procedures to protect the privacy and confidentiality of your Personal Information that we collect and maintain. For example, we use encryption — such as transport layer security (“TLS”) and secure socket layer (“SSL”) technology — coupled with two-step authentication and other safeguards to protect your data.
However, due to the design of the Internet and other factors outside our control, we cannot guarantee that communications between you and our servers will be free from unauthorized access by third parties or by government agencies. You remain responsible for the security of information in transit to us over the Internet.
Any unauthorized use of the Site may result in criminal and/or civil prosecution. In the event of a security breach, we will notify you by email using the address you submit to us, if any.
If you sign up for the Services, we will retain your Personal Information for as long as the information is relevant to our business purposes or until you request that we remove the data. If you submit a message to Music for Makers via a contact form on the Site, we will collect and use your email address and message content only to send you a reply. This information will be kept private and stored in our email system, and we will not retain your information for any longer than necessary or use it for any other purpose.
8. How to Access Your Information
If you sign up for the Services, you may request an exported file of your Personal Information, including any data you have provided to us. You may also request that we update or erase any personal data we hold about you. (This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.) If you’re an email subscriber, you may unsubscribe or update your user profile at any time by clicking the links in the footer of any email you receive from us.
9. Content from Other Websites
The Site may contain links to other websites. Please be aware that Music for Makers is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites, and therefore we disclaim any liability for any third party’s use of your Personal Information.
We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Site and to read the privacy statements of each and every site that collects personally identifiable information. This Policy applies only to information collected by this Site.
This Site may also include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, multimedia) from other websites. Embedded content from another website behaves as though you have visited the other website. As such, these websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content — including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged into that website.
An example of this would be an embedded YouTube player. If you watch a YouTube video on the Site, Google Inc. may collect information about your viewing of the video.

When you send us an email or register for the Services, you are communicating with Music for Makers electronically. You thereby consent to receive communications from us electronically.
