Other Sources of Information

We may receive information about you from other sources and may combine this
data with information we already have about you, including:

 * Artists: such as marketing data from a new or partnering artist that is
   integrated with information we already have about you to create a more
   tailored fan experience;
 * Business Partners: such as contest providers and other promotional partners,
   sub-contractors in technical, payment and delivery services, advertising
   networks, analytics providers and others who enable sign-on functionality and
   social network integration;
 * Publicly-available databases;
 * Other Applications: such as music/video streaming sites and social media

   accounts, we may collect any information that you permit through your
   settings on those connected accounts.

This information helps us to update, expand and analyze our records, identify
new customers and provide content and services that may be of interest to you.

Monitoring and Fraud Prevention

To help protect you and others, we monitor use of the Sites and we use the
information we collect, including personal information, to identify fraudulent
activities and transactions; prevent abuse of and investigate and/or seek
prosecution for any potential threats to or misuse of the Sites; ensure
compliance with the applicable terms of service and this privacy policy;
investigate violations of or enforce these agreements; and otherwise to protect
the rights and property of Sony Music, its partners and customers.  Monitoring
may result in the collection, recording, and analysis of online activity or
communications through the Sites, and you consent to this monitoring by using
the Sites.  If you do not consent to these conditions, you must discontinue your
use of the Sites.

Retention

We will retain your information for as long as your account is active and as
needed to provide you services.  We will use and retain your information as
necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our
agreements.

Social Networks/Online Communities

We enable you to create a profile for accessing blogs or online communities for
sharing information such as messages, photos and videos.  Please note that we
cannot control the actions of others with whom you may choose to share your
pages and information.  We may also enable you to post content from some of our
Sites to your profile on other social networks.  You can access these services
from our Sites using Facebook Connect, Twitter, or other Open ID providers.
 These services will authenticate your identity and allow you to post and share
certain personal or other information with that site.  Please be aware that the
privacy policy of that site will apply to any content you provide them in these
instances.  We do not allow these services to provide any personal information
or content back to our Sites or your profile with us unless you agree.  To
request removal of your personal information from our blog or community
forum, contact us here.  If we are unable to remove your personal information,
we will respond to your request with the applicable reasons.

Widgets – Our Site(s) may include interactive mini-programs that provide
specific services from another company (e.g., displaying digital news feeds,
playing music, “liking” or sharing content, etc.), often referred to as widgets.
 You may have the opportunity to submit personal information, such as your email
address, for collection through a widget.  A widget may also use browser or
Flash cookies and/or collect clickstream and usage data. Information collected
by a widget is governed by the privacy policy of the company that created it.

Transactions

You may purchase artists’ music or merchandise from some of our Site(s) or our
Artists’ Site(s), in which case you will be directed to an externally hosted web
page or site to complete your transaction.  These sites will be clearly
identified and link to their own privacy policies so you know which company is
collecting your personal information.  You should refer to those policies for
any privacy-related concerns regarding your purchase.

Information Sharing

We will only share your personal information with others as described in this
Privacy Policy.  We may provide your personal information to companies that help
us with our business activities (e.g. shipping or processing an order, assisting
us in Site operations, providing customer service, delivering email newsletters,
etc.) or that assist us in improving our products, content, services or
advertising.  These companies are authorized to use your personal information
only as necessary to provide these services.

We may also share your personal information:

 * With Sony Music affiliates and representatives of our current recording
   artists
 * With affiliated Sony Group companies (i.e. any company in which Sony
   Corporation of America owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of its
   outstanding shares and any company with the name “SONY” as part of its trade
   name)
 * With reputable partners in whose products or services we think you may have
   an interest, with your prior consent to do so
 * With representatives of former recording artists, who will be advised in
   advance that your consent is required for continued use
 * As required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal
   process
 * When we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our
   rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud or
   respond to a government request
 * In connection with a corporate change including a merger, acquisition or sale
   of assets
 * To any other party with your prior consent to do so

Choice/Opt-Out

You may choose to stop receiving newsletters, updates or marketing emails by

We partner with other companies to manage our advertisements.  We or our
partners may use cookies or similar technologies in order to provide you
advertising based upon your browsing activities and interests on our Sites and
other sites, and across your different devices.  If you wish to opt out of
interest-based advertising please check your browser settings or if located in

Mobile Marketing

If you choose to join a mobile marketing list, please be aware that there are
usually costs associated with receiving SMS (text) or MMS (multimedia) messages

via your mobile phone.  If you would like to stop receiving messages from us on
your mobile phone, please reply to the message with “STOP.”  You may also
contact your wireless carrier for additional information on receiving or

We may also send you push notifications from time-to-time in order to update you
about any events or promotions that we may be running.  If you no longer wish to
receive these types of communications, you may turn them off at the device or
application level, as applicable.  To ensure you receive proper notifications,
we will need to collect certain information about your device such as operating
system and user identification information.

Geolocation

If you have previously enabled your computer or mobile device to send us
location information, you may be able to opt-out from further allowing us to
access such information by changing the settings on your computer or mobile
device or by uninstalling the application.

Tracking Technologies

We and our business partners use cookies and other technologies such as web
beacons to keep track of your visits, preferences and profile information.  This
information is used to make our Sites easier to use, improve our advertising and
to provide you with a more personal and convenient experience.  For example, we
may use this information to store some of your preferences or to provide you
with tailored advertisements related to your specific interests on our Sites and
other sites, [and across your different devices].  Additionally, should you
choose to enroll, we and our partners may use this information to allow you to

or personal information.  For more information on Flash cookies and how to
manage privacy and storage settings click here.

In some of our email messages, we use “click-through URLs” or pixel tags to
determine whether the email has been opened and to measure the effectiveness of
our customer communications.  This data may also be used to gauge your interest
in particular topics, so we can deliver a more relevant, personal and convenient
user-experience.

Security

The security of your personal information is important to us.  When you enter
sensitive information on our order forms, we encrypt the transmission of that
information using industry accepted security practices.  If you choose to use
another company’s payment option to pay for your order, its privacy statement
and security practices will apply to your information.  We encourage you to read
that privacy statement before providing your information.

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal
information submitted to us, both during transmission and after receipt.
 However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic
storage is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.  If you
have any questions about the security of your personal information, you can
contact us by clicking here.
