4. Anti-Spam Policy

Newsletter Subscribers

Users who opt in to receive the VSTBuzz newsletter during registration will be added to our Newsletter Subscribers database. After confirming their subscription through an activation link sent to their email, they become Newsletter Subscribers. Our email communications with Newsletter Subscribers are based solely on their consent.

SMS Subscribers

Users who opt in to receive SMS communications during registration will be added to our SMS Subscribers database. Upon confirmation, they will receive an SMS on the specified date. Our SMS communications with SMS Subscribers are based solely on their consent.

What Is Spam?

Spam is unsolicited commercial email (UCE) sent to users who:

  • Have no prior relationship with the sender;
  • Have registered but not opted in to receive commercial emails;
  • Have previously opted in but later opted out of receiving commercial emails.

Spam also includes email communications without a valid reply-to address.

Email Communications

VSTBuzz does not send spam. Our email communications aim to inform Newsletter Subscribers about new software releases, promotions, and industry news. Our newsletters include links to new products, promotional information, and the latest industry updates.

We may partner with other businesses targeting similar audiences, allowing them to send our newsletters to their opted-in subscriber base. We ensure these businesses follow clear anti-spam practices. Occasionally, we may send selected partners’ e-flyers to our subscriber base.

We do not sell or distribute any partner or customer email addresses to third parties except when legally required.

Each newsletter contains an Unsubscribe link at the top of the message. Every SMS contains an opt-out message, and once triggered, an SMS will confirm the unsubscription.

Necessary Communications

Certain situations necessitate us to send you emails, such as:

  • Account activation emails;
  • Transaction invoices;
  • Technical, legal, or support-related communications.

Please ensure VSTBuzz emails are not flagged as ‘Spam’ or ‘Unsolicited’ in your email application. If you register and do not find an activation email in your inbox, check your spam folder.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device by software that you install. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the site owners. Cookies may also be stored by third parties, such as Google or advertising service providers.

We use cookies for various purposes:

  • Authentication: To log you into our website and keep you logged in as necessary to perform our contractual obligations to you. Cookies from Amazon Web Services, New Relic, PayPal, and Google reCAPTCHA may be used for this purpose.
  • Preferences: To remember information about you, such as your preferred language and configuration. Cookies from Microsoft, Google Analytics, Zopim (Zendesk), Amazon Web Services, Bizible, Intercom, Segment, Adroll, Bing Ads, Google Adsense, Optimizely, New Relic, Facebook, CloudFlare, PayPal, and Hotjar may be used for this purpose.

We also use non-essential cookies for analytics and retargeting, provided we have your consent. These cookies help us understand how you use our website and services, and how often, so we can improve them. They also help us display advertisements about products and services we offer based on your previous use of our website.

6. Sharing Your Information

We may share the information we collect, both personal and non-personal, with third parties such as advertisers, contest sponsors, promotional and marketing partners, and the labels, artists, and others who provide our content or whose products or services we think may interest you. We may also share it with our current and future affiliated companies and business partners. If we are involved in a merger, asset sale, or other business reorganization, we may share or transfer your personal and non-personal information to our successors.

We may engage trusted third-party service providers to perform functions and provide services, such as hosting and maintaining our servers and the site, database storage and management, email management, marketing, credit card processing, customer service, and fulfilling orders. We will share your personal information with these third parties to enable them to perform these services for us and for you.

We may share portions of our log file data, including IP addresses, for analytics purposes with third parties such as web analytics partners, application developers, and ad networks. If your IP address is shared, it may be used to estimate general location and other demographics such as connection speed, whether you have visited the sites in a shared location, and the type of device used to visit the sites. They may aggregate information about our advertising and what you see on the sites and then provide auditing, research, and reporting for us and our advertisers.

7. International Data Transfers

Information that we collect may be stored and processed in and transferred between any of the countries in which we operate or shared with Group company entities. This may include transferring your data to, and storing it at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”).

Where we transfer your personal data to countries outside the EEA, we will ensure that it is protected and transferred in a manner consistent with legal requirements applicable to the personal data concerned. This can be done in several ways, for example: the country to which we send the personal data may have been assessed by the European Commission as providing an “adequate” level of protection for personal data; the recipient may have signed a contract based on standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission. In other circumstances, the law may permit us to transfer your personal data to countries outside the EEA. In all cases, any transfer of your personal data will comply with applicable European data protection law.

For GDPR purposes and where we process data for any EU citizen, our EU representative is Audio for Apps Ltd. trading as VSTBuzz, with its address at Peace Cottage, Nicholastown, Slieverue, Co. Waterford, Ireland

  • In connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings;
  • To establish, exercise, or defend our legal rights (including providing information to others for the purposes of fraud prevention and reducing credit risk).

9. Security of Your Personal Data

We will take reasonable precautions to prevent the loss, misuse, or alteration of your personal information. Data transmission over the Internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the Internet.

We will store all personal information you provide on our secure servers. All electronic transactions you make to or receive from us will be encrypted using SSL technology.

You are responsible for keeping your passwords confidential.
