Privacy Policy

‍

Last updated and effective as of 9th December 2022.

As a responsible organisation, we have taken three important steps. First, we have made sure that we have, at the discretion of our users, the information necessary to allow us to improve the MuseHub application, and that by doing so we are compliant with national and international regulations, namely GDPR and CCPA. Second, we have been, and will continue to be, transparent with our users and our developer community about the data we collect, when we collect it and why. We will also publish any intended changes before they are implemented in all newer versions of the MuseHub application. MuseHub is a free application to download and use. Third and most important: MuseHub has privacy as a feature - it means that we do not store any of your personal data at all.

Introduction

  1. This Privacy Notice (“Notice”) explains what information we (as defined below) collect and use when you (“you” and “your”) use our MuseHub app (the “MuseHub App” or “App”) and explains how we use that information. Our App does not require you to create an account or profile and we do not ask you to provide us with your name, address or any other contact details in order to use our services.
  2. This Notice also sets out the rights that you have in relation to the information that we process about you and how you can exercise them.
  3. The MuseHub Team treats compliance with its privacy obligations seriously. This is why we have developed this Notice, which describes the standards that the MuseHub Team applies to protect your information.
  4. For the purposes of this Notice, MuseCY SM Ltd., a Cyprus company with a registered office at Spyrou Kyprianou, 84, 4004, Limassol, Cyprus (“MuseHub Team“, “us“, “we“, or “our“) acts as the data controller for the information that is collected via the App. As a data controller, the MuseHub Team makes sure that any processing of your information complies with applicable data protection law, and specifically with the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (”CCPA”).
  5. Please take the time to read this Notice carefully. If you have any questions or comments, please contact us via privacy@musehub.com.

‍

Data storage, retention, deletion and security

  3. We delete all data within 12 months of it being collected.

Your privacy rights

Under the GDPR, individuals have certain data protection rights, which you can exercise by emailing privacy@musehub.com. However, these rights only apply to the extent that the controller is able to identify the individuals whose information is collected. As mentioned above, the MuseHub Team does not store any information (personal data) that would enable us to identify you, and the processing of the information we collect does not require us to identify you. For these reasons, the exercise of the following GDPR rights may be limited, or in most cases, might not apply.

  • obtain access to the information held about you
  • ask for incorrect, inaccurate or incomplete information to be corrected
  • request that information be erased when they are no longer needed or if processing is unlawful
  • request the restriction of the processing of your information in specific cases
  • receive your information in a machine-readable format and send them to another controller ('data portability')
  • lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

If you have any questions about the protection of your information, you can contact us: privacy@musehub.com.

Additional Information for California Consumers

  1. The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) provides California residents, referred to in the law as “consumers,” with rights to receive certain disclosures regarding the collection, use, and sharing of personal information, as well as rights to access and control personal information. Certain information that we collect may be exempt from the CCPA because it is considered public information (because it is made available by a government entity) or covered by another federal privacy law, such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

  3. Right to information regarding the categories of personal information collected, sold, and disclosed: You have the right to obtain information regarding the categories of personal information we collect. We collect the categories of information described above but we do not store any personal information.
  4. Right to correct personal information: You have the right to correct any personal information we collect. To exercise that right, change your information in your account or email us here.
