Last updated: 28 July 2023

Thank you for visiting sound.com.cy, a website presented to you by Loungest Limited ("Loungest"). Your privacy is important to us. This privacy statement explains our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used at sound.com.cy and among our network of affiliated websites ("Loungest Network").

The Information We Collect

At sound.com.cy, you can enter contests, vote in polls, subscribe to our services, or participate in online forums. In the course of these offerings, we often seek to collect various forms of personal information, including: name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, credit card information, and information about your interests in and use of various products, programmes, and services.

We and our third-party service providers, advertisers, and partners may also collect non-personally identifiable information when you visit our sites, including: IP address, browser type, operating system, ISP domain name, pages visited, device type, location information, and content and advertisements you have accessed, seen, forwarded and/or clicked on.

You may also engage with our content through third-party social networking sites such as Facebook. When you do so, you may allow us to access certain information from your social media profile (name, e-mail address, photo, location, friend lists, likes, etc.) to deliver content or as part of the operation of the application.

How We Use the Information

We may use the information you provide to fulfil your requests for our products and services, to respond to your enquiries, to offer you other products or services we believe may be of interest to you, and to enforce the legal terms that govern your use of our sites.

We sometimes use this information to communicate with you — for example, to notify you when you have won one of our contests or when we make changes to our terms of service, to fulfil a request for an online newsletter, or to contact you about your account.

We use non-personally identifiable information to improve the design and content of our sites, to deliver more relevant marketing messages and advertisements, and to personalise your internet experience.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We may disclose personally identifiable information in response to legal process, in response to a law enforcement agency's request, or where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities or potential threats to the physical safety of any person.

We may also transfer personally identifiable information about you if we, or one of our business units, are acquired by, sold to, merged with or otherwise transferred to another entity.

Our agents and contractors who have access to personally identifiable information are required to protect this information in a manner consistent with this privacy statement and are not authorised to use it for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for us.

If sound.com.cy shares personally identifiable information with third parties that want to market products or services to you, it will provide you with an opportunity to opt out prior to any such disclosure.

Cookies & Web Beacons

To enhance your online experience, we use "cookies" or similar technologies. Cookies are text files placed in your computer's browser to store your preferences. Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information; however, once you choose to furnish a site with personally identifiable information, this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie.

We use cookies to understand site and internet usage and to improve or customise the content, offerings or advertisements on our sites — for example, to personalise your experience, save your password in password-protected areas, and enable you to use shopping carts on our sites.

We, our third-party service providers, advertisers, or partners may also use "web beacons" — small pieces of code placed on a web page — to monitor visitor behaviour and collect data. Web beacons may be used to count the users who visit a web page or to deliver a cookie to the browser of a visitor viewing that page.

You may set your browser to accept all cookies, block certain cookies, require your consent before a cookie is placed, or block all cookies. Blocking all cookies will affect your online experience and may prevent you from enjoying the full features offered at sound.com.cy.

Ad Choices

Our goal is to provide you with relevant ads. Often our ads are based on the content of pages you are viewing, but we also provide ads tailored to your interests. These technologies use anonymous identifiers within the "cookies" stored in your browser.

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on sound.com.cy. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.

International Transfer

sound.com.cy operates globally so it is necessary to transfer your information internationally. In particular, your information will likely be transferred to and processed in the United Kingdom, and also in the United States and Germany where many of our central databases operate.

Please be assured that we take reasonable steps, consistent with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), to ensure that your privacy is protected. By using this site you consent to your information being collected, used and transferred as set forth in this privacy statement.

Our Commitment to Security

We have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorised access, to maintain data security, and to use correctly the information we collect online.

We will notify you about material changes by sending an email message to the email address you most recently provided to us or by prominently posting a notice on our site.
