About us

This Privacy Policy explains what information Capstone eMedia Group LLC and its related entities (together referred to as Glorystone) collect about you and why, what we do with that information, how we share it, and how we handle the content you place in our products and services.

Please refer to the privacy policy of the website or app where the audio content is accessed to learn about their privacy practices.

Legitimate basis for collection 

We will only collect, use and share your personal information where we are satisfied that we have an appropriate legal basis to do this. This may be because:

  • we need to use your personal information for our legitimate interest as a commercial organization in order to provide you with the Glorystone Services in a manner tailored to your use of the Glorystone Services. For example, to maintain account details or provide you with technical support. In all such cases, we will look after your information at all times in a way that is proportionate and respects your privacy rights and you have a right to object to processing as explained below in the Access to Information section below; or
  • we need to use your personal information to comply with a relevant legal or regulatory obligation that we have. 

If you would like to find out more about the legal basis for which we process personal information please contact us. 

Consequences of not providing information

If you choose not to supply certain personal information, we may not be able to provide you with the level of service or the services you require. 

Use of aggregated data

We also may use the information we collect about you in an aggregate form. Aggregate data is information (originally personally identifiable or non-personally identifiable) that subsequently is used in aggregate form. 

Although aggregate data may be based in part on personally identifiable information about you, it does not identify you personally. We may use aggregate data we collect in order to conduct analysis or research, such as research about customer demographics, internet use, and interests and behavior. We may share this type of aggregate data with a variety of third parties, including our affiliates, advertisers and other current and prospective business partners. As this form of data does not identify particular users, these third parties will not be able to contact you based solely on this data. 

Aggregate data may also be used for website administration, advertising, and promotional purposes, and we may share this information with various affiliated and unaffiliated entities. We may also enter into agreements with outside companies that possess the technology that allows us to customize the advertising and marketing messages you receive while using the Glorystone services. Your non-personally identifiable information and clickstream data about your activities may be shared with these companies so this customization can be accomplished. Our agreement with these companies restricts them from sharing your information with third parties or using it for any other purpose. Clickstream and demographic information may also be shared with our advertisers and business partners. 

Glorystone may provide targeted advertisements based on information about you, such as your interests. Glorystone does not provide any personally identifiable information to the advertiser when you interact with or view a targeted ad, although advertisers (including ad serving companies) may assume that people who interact with, view, or click targeted ads meet the targeting criteria. 

Disclosure/sharing of information 

We may disclose/share your information to third parties who provide services to us, including organizations and contractors that assist us with the purposes for which we use your information. These services include: 

  • customer inquiries; 
  • installation, maintenance and repair services; 
  • operations, billing and debt-recovery functions; 
  • information technology and network services; 
  • market research and marketing services. 

We may also disclose/share your information: 

  • to your authorized representatives or advisors, or when you ask us to do so; 
  • to credit-reporting bodies and fraud-checking agencies, and to credit providers for credit related purposes such as credit-worthiness, credit rating, credit provision and financing; 
  • our related entities or our business partners; 
  • to organizations as required or authorized by law; 
  • to law enforcement and national security agencies, and other government and regulatory authorities as required or authorized by law; 
  • to third parties who assist us to manage or develop our business and corporate strategies and functions; 
  • for the purposes of facilitating or implementing a transfer/sale of all or part of our assets or business; 
  • to our contractors, consultants and service providers. 

Protection and transmission of data

Glorystone hosts data with hosting service providers in numerous locations. We may disclose your information to our hosting service providers or any other service providers in those countries or any other country in which we may conduct our business from time to time.

We will take reasonable steps to ensure that transfers of personal information are in accordance with applicable law and where we receive requests for information from law enforcement or regulators.

We will ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to protect all personal information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorized access, modification and disclosure, including through ensuring that third parties have agreed to confidentiality restrictions and use any personal information that we share them or which they collect on our behalf solely for the purpose of providing the contracted service to us. Although we seek to engage external service providers who also comply with these requirements, no security system is impenetrable and we cannot guarantee that information, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our systems or otherwise in our care, will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others. Accordingly, and to the extent permitted by law, we do not accept responsibility for the misuse of personal information while stored on our systems or otherwise in our care or in the care of our external service providers. 

We have implemented and maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures, policies and procedures designed to reduce the risk of accidental destruction or loss, or the unauthorized disclosure or access to such information appropriate to the nature of the information concerned. Measures we take include using secure communication transmission software (known as “secure sockets layer” or “SSL”) that encrypts all information you input on our website before it is sent to us. SSL is an industry standard encryption protocol and this ensure that the information is reasonably protected against unauthorized interception. 

As the security of information depends in part on the security of the computer you use to communicate with us and the security you use to protect User IDs and passwords, please take appropriate measures to protect this information.

Retention period

We will store your personal information for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, as explained in this Privacy Policy. Where your information is no longer needed, we will ensure that it is disposed of in a secure manner. In some circumstances we may store your personal information for longer periods of time, for instance where we are required to do so in accordance with legal, regulatory, tax, accounting requirements. 

In specific circumstances we may store your personal information for longer periods of time so that we have an accurate record of your dealings with us in the event of any complaints or challenges, or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation relating to your personal information or dealings. We do not process, store or host any personal information on an indefinite basis.

Direct Marketing

We may use personal information to let you know about our products and services that we believe will be of interest to you. We may contact you by email, post, or telephone or through other communication channels that we think you may find helpful. In all cases, we will respect your preferences for how you would like us to manage marketing activity with you. 

To protect your privacy rights and to ensure you have control over how we manage marketing with you: 

  • we will take steps to limit direct marketing to a reasonable and proportionate level and only send you communications which we believe may be of interest or relevance to you;
  • you can change the way your browser manages cookies, which may be used to deliver online advertising, by following the settings on your browser; and
  • if your business has an online account with us, the easiest way to make updates to your marketing preferences and/or change your personal details is to log onto your account. You can also click the “unsubscribe” link that you find on any online newsletters you receive or contact us. 

We recommend you routinely review the privacy notices and preference settings that are available to you on any social media platforms as well as your preferences within your account with us.

We also reserve the right to charge you any reasonable costs associated with accessing your personal information such as photocopying or postage costs. 

If you wish to access any of the below mentioned rights, we may ask you for additional information to confirm your identity and for security purposes, in particular before disclosing personal information to you. We reserve the right to charge a fee where permitted by law, for instance if your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

You can exercise your rights by contacting us. Subject to legal and other permissible considerations, we will make every reasonable effort to honor your request promptly or inform you if we require further information in order to fulfill your request.

We may not always be able to fully address your request, for example if it would impact the duty of confidentiality we owe to others, or if we are legally entitled to deal with the request in a different way.

Right to rectify or erase personal information 

You have a right to request that we rectify inaccurate personal information. We may seek to verify the accuracy of the personal information before rectifying it. 

You can also request that we erase your personal information in limited circumstances where:

  • to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
  • to protect the rights of another natural or legal person. 

Right to object to the processing of your personal information

You can object to any processing of your personal information which has our legitimate interests as its legal basis, if you believe your fundamental rights and freedoms outweigh our legitimate interests. 

If you raise an objection, we have an opportunity to demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate interests which override your rights and freedoms. 

Right to object to how we use your personal information for direct marketing purposes

You can request that we change the manner in which we contact you for marketing purposes. You can request that we not transfer your personal information to unaffiliated third parties for the purposes of direct marketing or any other purposes.
