Terms & Policy

Disctopia, Inc. (“Disctopia”) knows that your personal information in today’s world that is used and shared in any manner is essential, and we take your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy. By visiting the Disctopia website, applications, and platform, and domain name, including any other linked pages, features, content, or application services offered from time to time by Disctopia in connection in addition to that (collectively, the “Disctopia website, applications, and platform”), or using any of our services, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy.

1. What does this Policy cover?

   This Privacy Policy covers Disctopia’s treatment of personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) that Disctopia gathers when accessing Disctopia’s Disctopia website, applications, and platform and when you use Disctopia services. This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Disctopia does not own or control or to individuals that Disctopia does not employ or manage.

2. What personal information does Disctopia collect?

   The information we gather from customers enables us to personalize and improve our services and allows our users to set up a user account and profile to interact with other users through the Disctopia website, applications, and platform. In connection with the Disctopia website, applications, and platform, we request and display some personal information to other users and visitors of the Disctopia website, applications, and platform, allowing users to identify each other. We collect the following types of information from our customers.

3. Personal information you provide to us

   We receive and store any information you enter on our Disctopia website, applications, and platform or provide to us in any other way. The types of Personal Information collected may include your name, user name, email address, IP address, and browser information. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our special features. The Personal Information you provide is used for such purposes as allowing you to interact with other users, improving the Disctopia website, applications, and platform, customizing the advertising and content you see and communicating with you about specials and new features.

4. Personal information collected automatically

   We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with our Disctopia website, applications, and platform or services. Disctopia automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser, including your IP address, cookie information, and the page you requested.

   Generally, our Service automatically collects usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to our Site and its components, similar to any TV ratings that indicate how many people watched a particular show. Disctopia only uses this data in aggregate form, that is, as a statistical measure, not in a manner that would identify you personally. This type of aggregate data enables us to figure out how often customers use parts of the Disctopia website, applications, and platform or services to make the Disctopia website, applications, and platform appealing to as many customers as possible and improve those services. As part of this use of information, we may provide aggregate information to our partners about how our customers, collectively, use our Site. We share this type of statistical data so that our partners also understand how often people use their services and our Disctopia website, applications, and platform, so that they, too, may provide you with an optimal online experience. Again, Disctopia never discloses aggregate information to a partner in a manner that would identify you personally.

5. Children & Privacy

   We do not knowingly collect information from children under age 13. If you are under age 13, you are not permitted to use Disctopia or the associated Disctopia website, applications, platforms, mobile applications, and applications without the consent of a parent. If you are 13 – 17 years of age, you may visit, browse, and use the information on the Disctopia website, applications, and platforms, but you may not register an account or submit any personal information. If you are 13 – 17 years old, by browsing the Disctopia website, applications, and platform, using or accessing the Service, you confirm that you have the permission of a parent or guardian to do so. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that we may have inadvertently collected Personal Information from your child, please notify us immediately by sending an email to support@disctopia.com.

6. Email communications

   We may receive a confirmation when you open an email from Disctopia if your computer supports this type of program. Disctopia uses this confirmation to help us make emails more interesting and helpful and improve our Service. If you do not want to receive email or other mail from us, please send your request to support@Disctopia.com.

7. What about cookies?

   Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and tell us how and when pages in our Site are visited and by how many people. Disctopia cookies do not collect Personal Information, and we do not combine the general information collected through cookies with other Personal Information to tell us who you are or what your screen name or email address is.

   Most browsers have an option for turning off the cookie feature, which will prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, as well as (depending on the sophistication of your browser software) allowing you to decide on acceptance of each new cookie in a variety of ways. However, we strongly recommend that you leave the cookies activated because cookies enable you to take advantage of some of our Disctopia websites, applications, and platform’s most attractive features.

8. Microsoft Clarity

   We partner with Microsoft Clarity and Microsoft Advertising to capture how you use and interact with our website through behavioral metrics, heatmaps, and session replay to improve and market our products/services. Website usage data is captured using first and third-party cookies and other tracking technologies to determine the popularity of products/services and online activity. Additionally, we use this information for site optimization, fraud/security purposes, and advertising. For more information about how Microsoft collects and uses your data, visit the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

Moreover, if Disctopia or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Disctopia goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, customer information would be one of the assets that are transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur and that any acquirer of Disctopia may continue to use your Personal Information as outlined in this policy

15. Protection of Disctopia and others

    We may release Personal Information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with that law; enforce or apply our conditions of use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Disctopia, our employees, our users, or others.

24. Copyright Policy

    Disctopia (“Company”) has adopted and will maintain the following general copyright policy toward claims of infringement concerning intellectual property owned or controlled by third parties following the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (http://lcweb.loc.gov/copyright/legislation/dmca.pdf).

    The address of Disctopia’s Designated Agent to Receive Notification of Claimed Infringement (“Designated Agent”) is listed at the end of this policy. It is Disctopia’s policy to

    (1) block access to or remove material that it believes in good faith to be the intellectual property of a third party (e.g., copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, etc.) that has been illegally copied and distributed by any of our advertisers, affiliates, content providers, members or users; and

    (2) remove and discontinue Service to repeat offenders. A repeat infringer is a user for whom Disctopia has received more than two notices of claimed infringement or for which Disctopia has had to remove content more than twice. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Disctopia reserves the right to immediately terminate the account of any user for egregious infringing activities in Disctopia’s sole determination and discretion.

    • Procedure for Reporting Claimed Infringement:

      If you believe that material or content residing on or accessible through the Disctopia Web site or Service infringes an intellectual property right that you own or control, please send a notice of claimed infringement containing the following information and only the following information to the Designated Agent listed below. Please note that you will be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, if you materially misrepresent that content or an activity is infringing your copyrights. Your communication must include all of the following items:

      • A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the Work that has been allegedly infringed;
      • Identification of works or materials being infringed;
      • Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, including information regarding the location of the infringing materials that the intellectual property owner seeks to have removed, with sufficient detail so that Disctopia is capable of finding and verifying its existence; Providing URLs in the body of an email is the best way to help us locate content quickly.
      • Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which you may be contacted;
      • The statement “I swear under penalty of perjury that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed and that the information in this notification is accurate. I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described above as allegedly infringing is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.” Note that a copy of your legal notice will be forwarded to the party responsible for providing the alleged infringing content. Please do not include any information in your report other than the above items. The wonderful thing about the DMCA is that it makes the sordid details of your bass player’s departure completely irrelevant. Simply include the information above, and we’ll have all the information we need.
    • Once the Designated Agent receives proper Bona Fide Infringement Notification:
      It is Disctopia’s policy:
      • to remove or disable access to the infringing material;
      • to notify the content provider, member or user, that it has removed or disabled access to the material; and
      • that repeat offenders will have the infringing material removed from the system, and that Disctopia will terminate such content providers, member’s or user’s access to the Service.
    • Procedure to Supply a Counter-Notice to the Designated Agent:

      Suppose the content provider, member, or user believes that the material that was removed or to which access was disabled is either not infringing, or the content provider, member, or user acknowledges that it has the right to post and use such material from the owner of the intellectual property, the owner’s agent or under the law, the content provider. In that case, member or user must send a counter-notice containing the following information to the Designated Agent listed below:

      • A physical or electronic signature of the content provider, member, or user;
      • Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled;
      • A statement that the content provider, member, or user has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the material; and
      • Content provider’s, member’s or user’s name, address, telephone number, and, if available, email address and a statement that such person or entity consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district in which the content provider’s, member’s or user’s address is located, or if the content provider’s, member’s or user’s address is located outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Disctopia is located, and that such person or entity will accept Service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement. If the Designated Agent receives a counter-notice, Disctopia may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that the Disctopia may replace the removed material or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member, or user, the removed material may be replaced or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice at Disctopia’s discretion.

      Please contact Disctopia’s Designated Agent to Receive Notification of Claimed Infringement at the following address: social@Disctopia.com.

25. Personal data deletion

    Even though your account may be deleted, if a user or creative returns to the platform, some soft data or personal information may be retained only for account reactivation purposes.
