PRIVACY POLICY

Welcome to www.miamimusictech.com (the “Website”), operated by BuzzMakers, LLC a Florida limited liability company (“MMT”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). This privacy policy (this “Privacy Policy”) is intended to inform you about how MMT collects and uses your personally identifiable information (“PII”) and other information in operating the Website and the Miami MusicTech Summit events (each, an “Event” and collectively the “Events”).

How does the Website Work?

The Website enables anonymous visitors to the Website (“Visitors”) to learn more about us and the Events, and Visitors who are at least eighteen (18) years of age and not a minor in their state of residence, and who affirmatively indicate their agreement to abide by the Website’s Terms of Use (the “Terms of Use”) by means of a click-through consent, where such an option is available, to register for an Event either as a attendee or in some other capacity which involves submitting PII to us (collectively, “Attendees”) or as an exhibitor (collectively, “Exhibitors”, and together with Attendees, “Registrants”), in each case either through the Website, a third party website, or by some other means. The terms “you”, “your” and “yours”, when used herein refer to either Registrants and Visitors or to both Registrants and Visitors collectively, as applicable.

NOTE: By subscribing to receive automated communications from MMT on the registration page, each Attendee so enrolling acknowledges and agrees that such Attendee will receive electronic communications from BuzzMakers LLC. You are advised that our Event registration list will never be sold to third parties for marketing purposes. If a third party violates the law by hacking our systems contacting you, then you agree that this third party, and not MMT, is the responsible party. 

Your use of the Website is subject to the Terms of Use, which can be found at https://miamimusictech.com/terms-conditions

You can make general use of the Website without providing any PII to MMT. However, you will need to provide us with certain PII in order to use certain of the Website’s functionality, such as submitting an Application to Speak, Entering the Startup Competition, Applying to Volunteer, or requesting Press Credentials. 

By using the Website, you consent to the collection and use of your PII and other information by MMT as described in this Privacy Policy.

How can the terms of this Privacy Policy be modified?

We reserve the right to change how we handle and use the information that we collect through the Website and at the Events, and to modify this Privacy Policy at any time in our sole discretion. You agree to review this Privacy Policy periodically to be aware of all such modifications. You further agree that your continued use of the Website after a modified version of this Privacy Policy has been posted shall be deemed to be your conclusive acceptance of any modified version of this Privacy Policy. We will indicate that changes to this Privacy Policy have been made by updating the date indicated after the “Last Updated” or “Last Modified” indicator at the beginning of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to abide by the initial version and each modified version of this Privacy Policy, as applicable, then you are not authorized to use the Website. A current version of this Privacy Policy is accessible via the footer of the Website’s homepage.

What type of PII does MMT collect from you and how do we use it?

Attendees must provide a PII to MMT in order to register for an Event on our third-party ticketing site (i.e. Tixr.com).

Also, Attendees, Sponsors, speakers, and any prospects may complete any one of our forms located on the Website to apply for a role at the event or to request more information from us or for us to contact you. As part of any such process, you may need to provide us with certain of your PII, including without limitation your name, address, email, phone number. We intend to use all such information collected through the Website or otherwise from you for multiple purposes, including without limitation to keep you informed about Events by sending you emails, sms messages or reaching you by phone. We may also ask you for general statistical, non-PII about yourself or your interests.

You acknowledge that we may communicate with you by email, text or telephone call.  You may opt out at any time by email to hello@miamimusictech.com, or by writing us at the address indicated in the last paragraph of this Privacy Policy. Please note that any opt out request must include your telephone number.

Each Attendee agrees that by providing us with your information at registration, we are free to use your information in such a manner and otherwise as determined by us in our sole discretion. For instance, certain of the PII and other information provided by Attendees at registration may be made available to Sponsors during an Event and thereafter.  Attendees agree that by providing us with their information at registration, we and Sponsors may use such information as we and/or they determine.

Attendees may register to participate in various activities at an Event, including without limitation panel discussions, classes, workshops. Attendees understand that MMT at any such Event merely provides a forum for such activities to be conducted, and that we have no control over the speakers and sponsors at the event. Therefore, please keep in mind that any PII or other information that you provide such third parties in the course of your participation in such activities or otherwise will not be subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy but rather to the terms of whatever privacy policy or other governing conditions such third party may provide, if any.

We will be videotaping, photographing and otherwise recording each Event and using the resulting footage for promotional purposes, and your likeness and image may very well appear and be used in connection with such videotape or otherwise if you attend such Event. By attending any Event, you consent to all such uses by us.

While we do not currently offer Registrants a printed or online directory of Attendees, we may determine  in the future to provide such information to you.

How else do we use your PII?

MMT or entities working on our behalf may use your PII to help fulfill your requests in connection with your participation in an Event. For example, we may transfer information collected at registration, including your PII, to service providers and other third parties who assist us in printing conference badges and otherwise processing your registration for an Event. 

If you are concerned about us sharing your PII with third parties or otherwise transferring or disposing of your PII, you should not provide your PII to us.  If you have already provided PII, you may opt out by sending an e-mail to hello@miamimusictech.com

Please note that it may take several weeks for us to comply with your Opt-Out Request, and until we are able to comply with such a request we may continue to use your PII as described in this Privacy Policy. Please note that after receiving your Opt-Out Request, we may continue to maintain your name and other PII to help us ensure that we can honor such request.

Under what other circumstances may we release PII?

In addition to sharing your PII with third parties as described above, we may also release your PII to other third parties if we believe that such release is necessary to comply with the law (e.g., a legal process or a statutory authorization or requirement), or a court order, (a) in order to apply or enforce the Terms of Use or otherwise protect our interests, (b) in order to protect you, other Visitors or Registrants, or us from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of the Website or from other harm, or (c) if we reasonably believe that a danger to any person or property requires the disclosure of such PII.

Our rights under this Privacy Policy may be automatically assigned by MMT, in our sole discretion, to a third party or parties, and such an assignment will inure to the benefit of our successors, assigns and/or licensees. Without limitation of the foregoing, we may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of our assets, including without limitation your PII, with any parent company, subsidiary, joint venture, and/or any company under our common control, as well as to a potential acquirer and/or an acquirer, including without limitation in connection with a merger, reorganization, or sale of assets or stock, or in the event of a bankruptcy. In each such an event, the PII we have collected from you may be one of the assets transferred in connection with any such a transaction or event.
