This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) describes how Thekipkopbeats (“Thekipkopbeats” or “we” or “us”) uses personal information in running our business. Thekipkopbeats is available from our websites, including but not limited to, www.thekipkopbeats.net (“Websites”) and mobile applications (“Mobile Apps”). We refer to our Website visitors and Mobile App users as users (“Users”) of Thekipkopbeats’s Services (“Services”). Please read our Terms of Service and our online safety and best practices guidelines. By visiting any of the Websites or using any of the Mobile Apps, you are accepting and consenting to the practices described in the Privacy Policy.
1. WHAT TYPES OF INFORMATION DOES Thekipkopbeats COLLECT?
User Provided Information. We obtain certain information when you provide it to us: for example, if you setup your account profile, participate in a discussion board, purchase a product, sign in using your Facebook Connect or Google login, or report a problem on one of the Websites, you may provide your name, email address, your date of birth, photograph, and a list of interests such as your favorite music and television shows. Some of that information can be used by Thekipkopbeats to identify or contact you directly and is sometimes referred to as personally identifiable information. When you purchase virtual currency or products through our Services, we use a third-party payment processor that collects your payment information and completes the transaction.
Information from Use of our Services. Thekipkopbeats also gathers non-personally identifiable information from Users of our Services. Non-personally identifiable information is information that usually cannot by itself be used to identify a particular person or entity, and may include: the Internet Protocol (IP) address, unique device identifiers, anonymous IDs for advertising, operating system, mobile network information, browser type, existing applications, browsing activity and non-precise device location information (e.g., city or region). Thekipkopbeats enables you to send messages to other Users in the Thekipkopbeats community. We ordinarily don’t read the content of these messages unless we reasonably believe the Service is being misused or as required by law; we keep track of the number of messages sent and similar information to keep our Services running smoothly. Thekipkopbeats also enables you to ‘friend’ other members of the Thekipkopbeats community, and records which members of the community you’ve friended, which Thekipkopbeats groups you’ve joined, and what pieces of content you’ve uploaded via the Services.
Thekipkopbeats Login. When you login directly through Thekipkopbeats, we can access the information you provided during your account profile setup.
User Generated Content. We offer our Users the opportunity to post reviews, upload images and audio, and offer opinions. Such postings are governed by our Terms of Service.

Further information is contained in the Thekipkopbeats online safety and best practices guidelines.

Thekipkopbeats Beta Users. From time to time, Thekipkopbeats will offer to its users the opportunity to Beta test a new Mobile App or Mobile App feature. Participation is entirely voluntary. Users who elect to sign-up to Beta test these features are “Beta Users”. Beta Users may be asked to provide additional personal information as part of the Beta test, such as precise geolocation, or will be able to access certain other features, such as making in-app purchases. For each Beta test, the Beta User will be provided with a disclosure about the data collection, use, and sharing practices specific to that Beta test, and will only be permitted to become a Beta User upon acceptance of those specific terms.
