website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each future
visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie. Cookies are useful
because they allow a website to recognize a user’s device.  Cookies and similar
technologies help us to improve our sites and to deliver a better and more
personalized experience, for example, by storing information about how you use
our sites and allowing us to recognize you when you return. You may refuse to

standard weblog information. Such information is sometimes referred to as web
analytics and/or clickstream data. 

“Web beacons” (also known as image tags, pixel tags, GIFS or web bugs) are small
pieces of code used to collect advertising data, such as counting page views,
promotion views or advertising responses. Web beacons or similar technologies
may be used for various purposes, including, without limitation, to count
visitors to the Sites, to monitor how users navigate the Sites, to count how
many sent e-mails were actually opened or to determine whether content sent was
actually viewed.

When you provide us with personal information about your contacts, we will only
use this information for the specific purpose for which it is provided.

information and you would like to request that it be removed from our database,

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;

   sub-contractors in technical, payment and delivery services, advertising
   networks, analytics providers and others who enable sign-on functionality and

   product pages on third party platforms may offer message boards, chat rooms,
   games, and other public areas (collectively, “Community Forums”) where you
   can engage in social networking, interact with others, as well as have the
   opportunity to submit photographs, writings, music, video, audio recordings,
   computer graphics, pictures, data, questions, comments, suggestions or other
   content (collectively, “User Submissions”).

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

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

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

SOCIAL NETWORKS/ONLINE COMMUNITIES

We enable you to create a profile for accessing blogs or online communities for
sharing User Submissions. User Submissions on our Sites may be subject to
separate terms & conditions made available prior to submission. To participate
in certain Community Forums, you may be asked to select a username, screen name
or member name and password; please do not use your real name or email address
or the real name of another person when selecting a username (or screen name or
member name).  Please note that we cannot control the actions of others with
whom you may choose to share your pages and information.  Anything you post to a
Community Forum is public, and others will have access to your User
Submission(s) and may view, collect and use that information or share it with
third parties. If you choose to voluntarily disclose User Submissions, the
protections of this Privacy Policy will not cover such disclosure of
information. We encourage you to think carefully before you post and to use
caution before disclosing any personal information in Community Forums and other
online communities.

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 or service 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, subscribe to paid podcast content, or purchase
merchandise from some of our Site(s) or our Artists’ or Podcasts’ Sites, 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 or subscription.

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 and podcasts;

   name);

   an interest, with your prior consent to do so;

 * In connection with a corporate change including a merger, acquisition or sale
   of assets;
 * With independent artist or label clients for marketing purposes when you
   request to join their mailing list via our Site(s);

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

cookies in online advertising, including how to manage or delete them click

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.

One analytics provider with whom we may work is Google Analytics. Google
Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze
information about use of the Properties and report on activities and trends.
This service may also collect information regarding the use of other websites,
apps, and online resources. You can learn about Google’s practices by going

Managing your cookies & tracking technology preferences

To manage your cookie preferences on our Sites, please refer to the “Manage
Cookies” link in the cookie banner of the applicable Site.

Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to websites you
visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. When you choose
to turn on the “Do Not Track” settings in your browser, your browser will send a
signal to websites, analytics providers, advertisement networks, plug-in
providers, and other web service providers you encounter while browsing to stop
tracking your activity. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” please visit
www.allaboutdnt.com.

Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) is a technical specification in your browser
settings that you can use to automatically inform websites of your privacy
preferences with regard to third party online tracking. To find out more about
and to set up GPC, please visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org/#about.

Opting out of tracking or targeted advertising cookies doesn’t mean you won’t
receive online advertising, just that the advertisements you see won’t be based
on the website pages you’ve visited.


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

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

In addition to the information provided above regarding the categories, sources,
uses, and sharing of personal information we collect, we are providing the
following additional information to California residents consistent with
applicable law, including without limitation the California Privacy Rights Act
and any implementing regulations adopted thereunder (“CPRA”).  Terms (including
defined capitalized terms) used in this California section of this Privacy
Policy have the same meanings given in the CPRA, unless otherwise defined. 

We collect the information described above in this Privacy Policy (including
identifiers, commercial information, internet or other electronic network
activity, and in certain circumstances Sensitive Personal Information such as
account log-in / password, ethnicity, health information, financial account
information,  social security, driver’s licence, ID or passport number, or
specific geolocation data) from fans and consumers (including job applicants),
artists, podcast hosts and producers, business partners, clients, vendors, other
applications (e.g., social networks), advertising networks and digital service
providers.  The Personal Information we collect about you will depend upon how
you use our Sites or otherwise interact with us. In addition to the categories
of data described above, we may collect and/or use additional types of
information and will do so after providing notice to you and obtaining your
consent to the extent such notice and consent is required by the CPRA.

We may use this information for any of the business purposes described above. 
We may also share this information with the following categories of third
parties: Sony Music and affiliated companies, artists, podcast producers,
independent artist and label clients, advertising networks, digital service
providers and other business partners for such business purposes.

In addition to the sources and categories of third parties mentioned above, we
also may share this information with law enforcement and professional service
companies for the limited purposes of addressing our compliance and legal
obligations and exercising our legal rights.

California Consumer Rights

Subject to certain exceptions, California residents have the following rights:

 * Access and portability.  Upon a verifiable request, California residents can
   request information regarding what personal information we collect, use,
   disclose or sell and information about our data practices, including the
   right to request we provide you with the categories and/or specific pieces of
   personal information we have collected about you, and the categories of
   sources of such personal information and the categories of external
   recipients to which such personal information is disclosed (but not the
   individual sources or recipients);
   * Please note, the CPRA’s right to obtain copies does not grant a right to
     the whole of any document that contains personal information about you, but
     only to copies of “specific pieces” of such personal information; 
   * In order to provide specific pieces of information about you, we may
     require a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the
     consumer whose personal information is the subject of the request.
 * Deletion.  Request deletion of the personal information we maintain about
   you;
   * Please note that as part of the verification process, once you submit a
     request to delete, we may follow up and require you to confirm that you
     want your information deleted.
 * Correction. Request correction of inaccurate personal information we maintain
   about you;
 * “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal information”. Opt out of the “sale” or the
   “sharing” of your personal information to third parties for cross-contextual
   behavioural advertising (i.e. targeted advertising), whether or not for
   monetary or other valuable consideration. To the extent permitted by
   applicable law, we may be required to retain some of your personal
   information, and certain personal information is strictly necessary in order
   for us to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy; and
 * Profiling & Automatic Decision-Making.  The right to know and opt out of any
   form of profiling or automated processing of personal information undertaken
   to evaluate an individual’s personal aspects and make predictions regarding,
   for example, their economic situation, health, preferences, interests,
   reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties for money.  However,
Sony Music engages in online advertising practices (and certain analytics or
similar activities) whereby we share personal information with other companies
and service providers in compliance with the law in order to deliver more
meaningful ads and other communications to consumers, and for other similar
reasons provided in this Privacy Policy. These practices may be considered a
“sale” or “share” for cross-context behavioural advertising as defined in the
CPRA.

California residents have the right to opt-out of this information “sale” or
“sharing” (as defined in the CPRA).  If you wish to exercise this right, please
complete the form here or call the following toll-free number: 1-833-380-0676. 
To the extent that you elect to designate an authorized agent to make a request
on your behalf, they must select “An Authorized Representative” on the form.  We
will not share the personal information of California minors who are under the
age of 16 with third parties for commercial purposes without affirmative
consent, which can be provided at the point of data collection.

To disable sharing through cookies set by third parties that may be considered
“sales” or “sharing” under the CPRA, please refer to the “Manage Cookies” link
in the cookie banner of the applicable Site.

In addition, the Digital Advertising Alliance also offers tools for California
consumers to send requests under the CPRA to opt out of the sale of personal
information by some or all of the participating companies.  For more
information, visit: https://www.privacyrights.info/.

Profiling & Automated Processing

We may undertake limited profiling when you interact with our Sites or Community
Forums, and when you sign up to receive marketing about Sony Music, our artists,
podcasts or products. This may be considered a form of automated processing. It
means we might combine the personal information you provide when registering,
with information about your activity on our Site(s) and Community Forums, and
information collected from other sources as described in this Privacy Policy
above; such as your account activity on streaming sites and social media
platforms when you connect to our Sites using your streaming or social media
account credentials, or your recent transactions on our artist stores. We
undertake this type of limited profiling so that we can: personalize marketing
content you’ve requested; create more meaningful ads and other communications to
consumers; measure our audience and enhance the Sony Music user experience; and
for other similar reasons provided above in this Privacy Policy.  For example,
we might let you know about new releases you may like, or relevant artists’
shows in your city. 

This profiling activity will not have a legal or similarly significant effect on
consumers, and therefore we do not offer California residents the right to
opt-out of such profiling at this time.

Right to Limit the Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information

Under the CPRA Regulations, a business must only provide the Right to Limit the
Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information when such use does not fall
within the list of exceptions outlined in CPRA § 7027, subsection (l). Sony
Music’s use and disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information falls within this
list of exceptions, and we therefore do not offer such opt-out right at this
time.

Exercising other California Consumer Rights

If you are a California resident and wish to exercise any of these rights,
please: (a) contact us here with the specific nature of your request,
referencing “Your California Privacy Rights”; or (b) call the following
toll-free number: 1-833-380-0676.  When submitting your request, you must affirm
that you are a California resident or an authorized representative for a
California resident, and provide enough information for us to verify you are the
person about whom we collected personal information or their authorized
representative. All requests should be properly labelled and contain all the
necessary information so that we can understand, evaluate and respond to the
request. 

Authorized agents must be registered with the California Secretary of State, and
the consumer must designate the authorized agent by providing the authorized
agent with a valid power of attorney or written permission to act for the
consumer.  We will follow up with authorized agents to request this
documentation.  Such written permission must state the agent’s full legal name,
the full legal name of the applicable consumer, and a clear description of the
permission granted. Alternatively, an authorized agent may submit a copy of a
power of attorney under Probate Code sections 4000-4465. The consumer’s
identity, in addition to the authorized agent’s identity, will need to be
independently verified for us to be able to fulfill your request. We may also
ask the consumer to directly confirm with us that they provided the agent
permission to submit the request.  If we cannot verify your identity to a
sufficient level of certainty or we do not receive adequate proof that you are
authorized to act on the consumer’s behalf, we may deny the request.

In respect of Californian residents’ rights of access and portability, deletion
and correction, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity based upon
the information you provide, and you may be asked to provide additional proof of
identification so that we can verify your identity and validate the request.  If
we cannot verify your identity to a sufficient level of certainty to respond to
your request, we will let you know promptly and explain why we cannot verify
your identity.  Pursuant to the CPRA, we will not require you to verify your
identity, beyond asking for the information necessary to complete your request,
when you exercise your rights to opt out of the Sharing or Sale of your personal
information or to limit the use & disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information
(if the same becomes applicable).

Submitting a request under the CPRA does not require you to create an account
with us, and we will only use any additional information you provide as part of
your request to verify your identity.  Please note that you are limited by law
in the number of requests you may submit per year.  We will not discriminate
against you by offering you different pricing or products, or by providing you
with a different level or quality of products, based solely upon you exercising
your rights under the CPRA.  

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.

California “Shine the Light”

If you are a California resident, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 provides
you the right to receive: (a) information identifying any third party(ies) to
whom we may have disclosed, within the preceding calendar year, your personal
information for that third party’s direct marketing purposes; and (b) a
description of the categories of personal information disclosed.  To obtain such
information free of charge, please write to us at the address below, or submit
