Legal Information

Privacy Policy

Meyer Sound Laboratories, Incorporated and its subsidiaries (“Meyer Sound,” “we,” or “our”) are committed to protecting your privacy. Please take a moment to carefully review our privacy policy (“Policy”), as it contains important information on how and why we collect, store, and use your personal information, your rights in relation to your personal information and on how to contact us if you would like to exercise those rights.

When we collect personal information from you, we are subject to various laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We are responsible as a “controller” of your personal information for the purposes of those laws.

Policy Coverage

  • This Policy covers how we treat the personal information that we collect and receive in relation to your use of our website, social media pages and newsletters.
  • If you do not agree with our Policy, please do not use the Meyer Sound website or social media pages or subscribe to any of our newsletters.
  • “Personal information” refers to any information about you that is personally identifiable, including your name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number, and any other information that is not otherwise publicly available.
  • This Policy does not apply to the practices of people or companies that Meyer Sound does not own, control, employ, or manage.
  • We respect the privacy of children. If you are under 13 years of age, you should not provide any personal information to us without the knowledge and permission of your parent or legal guardian.

Personal Information We Collect About You

  • We may collect personal information about you when you visit our website, participate on our social media pages, subscribe to one of our newsletters, or when you directly provide such information to us at a conference, festival or Meyer Sound event.
  • Such personal information may include, for example, your name, email address, telephone number or mailing address. Additionally, when you visit our website, we may collect information regarding your browser type, IP address, and the type of software and hardware you are using.

Why We Use Your Personal Information

  • We use your personal information for the following purposes:
    • To communicate with you regarding Meyer Sound products, events and promotions,
    • To keep you informed of newsworthy information relating to Meyer Sound and its business,
    • To deliver and track software updates,
    • To customize the content of our website and communications, and
    • To help diagnose problems with our servers, to administer our website and to monitor the total number of users who visit our website.
  • Many of the purposes we use your information for are necessary to communicate with you and to provide our online services; others are for legitimate business interests such as research, data analysis, improving our services and developing new products. Where we use your information for legitimate business interests, your information will only be used in an anonymized and/or aggregated form so that it does not identify you.
  • We retain personal information we collect from you only when we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (in connection with the purposes set out as above). When we no longer have a legitimate business need to use your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
  • You can withdraw your consent to share personal information with us, and have your personal information that we hold deleted, at any time as set forth in this Policy.

Sharing of Your Personal Information

  • We do not share your personal information with anyone outside of Meyer Sound or its subsidiaries.
  • We will never sell, rent, lend, or give your personal information to any third party for any business purpose.
  • Certain federal, state, local, or other government regulations may require that we disclose some personal information about our users and subscribers. It’s also possible we could be required to provide such information in connection with a legal proceeding or enforcement action. In such cases, we will use reasonable efforts to disclose only the information required by applicable law, court order or legal process.
