Privacy Terms

The Term MyTalkTones.com is used to describe all ringtone download sites owned and operated by Dane Reid Media L.L.C. including but not limited to MyTalkTones.com and BibleVerseRintones.com. We at MyTalkTones.com respect the privacy concerns of the users of this site and have created this privacy policy to explain:

  • What information we gather from you when you visit our site
  • How we may use such information
  • Your choices concerning how we may use such information
  • The security measures we take to protect such information

Some information is collected on this site automatically through our technology; other information is collected only when you choose to give it to us (e.g., when you download a ringtone or sign up for a specific online transaction or promotion). MyTalkTones.com is a part of DANE REID MEDIA L.L.C. of Atlanta Georgia.

Information We Gather Automatically

When you visit this site, certain non-personally identifying information is recorded automatically by the standard operation of our Internet servers in the United States. Information such as the type of browser being used, its operating system, and your computer's Internet Protocol ("IP") address (a number that your Internet service provider assigns to your computer whenever you surf the Internet) is gathered in order to facilitate our online operations and to assure an efficient online experience for you. We may also use or share this information for security purposes, to generate group statistics about our user community, or as required by U.S. law.

We may use your IP address or other automatically recorded information, in cooperation with your Internet provider, to identify you if it is necessary to contact you or to bring legal action against you because you are violating the Terms and Conditions of use for this site or may be causing injury to or interference (intentionally or unintentionally) with our company's rights or property, other users of this site or anyone else who could be harmed by your activities.

Personal Information You Provide To Us

We may request personally identifying information from you in a variety of contexts. For example, you may provide such data to us if you: (1) complete an online registration form (e.g., various sign-up forms for downloading a ringtone or logo, registering for special offers or communications, registering for an account or responding to a survey); (2) fill out an order form to request information; (3) register to participate in any online interactive features we may offer; or (4) purchase any products or services from us or another business with which we are under common control or ownership or over which we have control or ownership (a "MyTalkTones.com Affiliated Company").

In such cases, the personally identifying information we request may include your name, email address, mailing address and zip code, mobile phone number, other phone number(s) and, where appropriate, a valid credit card number with expiration date (collectively, "Personal Information"). In addition, we may collect other non-personally identifying information such as your date of birth, gender, country of residence, language preference, hobbies and other information regarding your interaction with our site such as the ringtones or logos you download and other customized activities in which you participate. Of course, you never have to answer any of the questions we ask you (nor choose to take advantages of the services offered on our site), but refusal to do so may limit the products or services we can offer or provide to you.

When you provide Personal Information to us, we will use that data to create a My Account page for you, which will be held in a secure database. Others outside MyTalkTones.com Affiliated Companies will not be allowed to see the data on your My Account page except with your consent (see below). However, you will be able to access your My Account page at any time in order to update your individual Personal Information or to change your preferences (see below under "How Can You Correct or Review Your Personal Information?" for more details).
