This Privacy Policy describes how Levon Helm Studios uses Cymbal (“we,” “our,” or “us”) to collect, use, and otherwise process personal data that you provide to us, or that we obtain or generate, to provide you with our messaging services, including our apps, features, software, and website (“Cymbal”) We issue unique phone numbers (or other communication accounts) (“Cymbal Numbers”) to individuals and entities or their designees (collectively, “Cymbal Organizations”). Cymbal Organizations can use Cymbal to message with the individuals who have agreed to message with them (“Cymbal Members”).
Please also read our Terms (“Terms”), which applies to Cymbal Organizations and related customers. We collect the following when you use Cymbal:
Messaging info
When you interact with Cymbal Numbers (including by sending text messages to or calling a Cymbal Number), we collect your messages, including message-related information (such as the phone number from which the message was sent, when the message was sent, the content of the message, any attached files or media, and data from interactive features such as reactions, effects, stickers, scheduling, polls, and payments). When calling a Cymbal Number, we may also collect additional message information, such as the content of a voicemail, duration of the call, and keys pressed. When you interact with messages sent via Cymbal, we collect information about those interactions too. We refer to all of this as “Messaging Info.”
Keep in mind that Cymbal Organizations who receive your message info via Cymbal can save a copy and use that information outside of Cymbal. This includes any personal information you send in a message (for example, your address), so be careful with what you choose to share. If you don’t fully complete your registration with a Cymbal Organization via Cymbal, then some or all of your Messaging Info may not be delivered to them.
Contact Info
We may collect information, such as your name, email, phone number, and demographic information such as your date of birth, gender identity, location, or interests (collectively, “Contact Info”) from you when you register with Cymbal or from a Cymbal Organization. Once you register your information on Cymbal, you may be able to connect to additional Organizations without reentering your Contact Info again each time. If you start a conversation with a Cymbal Organization from a supported website or Internet-based messaging service, the required Contact Info and signup process may vary (e.g., the registration process may be integrated into their website or email).
Member Info
We or the Organization may analyze your activities (including your Contact Info, Messaging Info, and imported data) and generate insights about you (“Member Info”). For example, if you tell a Cymbal Organization that your favorite ice cream flavor is chocolate, the Cymbal Organization may tag you as a “chocolate lover.” Such insights may be manually or automatically generated on Cymbal or imported by Cymbal Organizations from outside of Cymbal. Cymbal Organizations may be able to save or sync their Cymbal address book for use outside of Cymbal, which may include your Contact Info and Member Info.
Organization Info
To sign up as a Cymbal Organization, you need to provide intake information and/or set up a Cymbal account. This may involve your name, email address, phone number, business information, and other information. Through that account, you may also provide email addresses and other login information for additional authorized users for the account. You may customize your account by providing a profile name, profile picture, bio, social media handles, automated responses, branded images, and voicemail messages. If you integrate your Cymbal Organization account with another service, we may receive information from that integration, such as your business information, information about your contacts, or financial information. This includes, for example, syncing your address book, your customer or marketing platform, or other data source. You can disconnect your integrations at any time, which will stop syncing Cymbal with that service going forward (existing data may remain on Cymbal). Collectively, we refer to this information associated with a Cymbal Organization’s account as “Organization Info.”

When using Cymbal, including registering to become a Cymbal Member or a Cymbal Organization when using our apps and website, clicking on links or media in messages sent via Cymbal, or using Organizations’ online properties that embed our tags or forms, we collect Internet, electronic activity, and other information automatically from the devices and browsers that you use and from the messages that you send (collectively, “Technical Info”). This includes information about the type of device and operating system you use, your phone number, your IP address and location, cookie and device identifiers, the type and version of browser you use, app version, and your ISP or wireless carrier. We may also collect information about your location, such as by using your IP address to determine your approximate location.

In certain situations, you may provide us or our payment processors with payment information, such as your credit or debit card number, card expiration date, CVV code, and billing address.
