   integrated with information we already have about you to create a more
   tailored fan experience;

   sub-contractors in technical, payment and delivery services, advertising

   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.


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 use Community Forum activity and information
provided in User Submissions for the purposes of internal analytics and targeted
marketing.

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 may 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.

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, or otherwise to fulfill the purpose(s) for which
the information was collected.  We will use and retain your information as
necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our
agreements.


INFORMATION SHARING

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 for the purposes described above:

 * With other Sony Music affiliates, affiliated Sony Group companies, and other
   internal parties acting on our behalf;
 * With representatives of our recording artists and their management, labels,
   podcasts, and other trusted partners;

   their music through a Sony Music-owned distribution platform) for marketing
   purposes when you request to join their mailing list via our Site(s);
 * Suppliers and vendors who perform functions on our behalf, such as hosting or
   operating our Sites, sending e-mails, and carrying out data analysis;
 * With partners in whose products or services we think you may have an
   interest, with your prior consent to do so;
 * With former Sony Music recording artists or their representatives, who will
   be advised in advance that your further consent is required for continued
   use;
 * As required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal
   process;

   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 or otherwise at your direction;

other sites, and across your different devices.  If you wish to opt out of
interest-based advertising please check your browser settings.

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. 

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of coded information that are
downloaded to your device when you visit a 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 accept cookies by changing the privacy
settings on your internet browser but this can mean certain parts of our site
may not work properly. We and our business partners may automatically or
passively collect information as you browse our Site(s) such as connection
information (including the domain name and Internet Service Provider), browser
type and version, mobile device ID, cell phone carrier, operating system and
device type, average time spent on our Site(s), pages viewed, traffic to and
from the websites, information accessed, the IP address you use to connect to
the Internet and related geographical information about your computer or mobile
device, and advertising data and other 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.

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 participate in one of our fan rewards programs.  To learn more
about the use of cookies in online advertising, including how to manage or
delete them click here.

We and some of our partners use Flash cookies to store some of your preferences
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.

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
to http://google.com/policies/privacy/partners, and you can opt out of the
service by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available
at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

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

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.


LOCATION OF PROCESSING

Our Sites are operated in the United States.  If you are located in a
jurisdiction outside of the United States, please be aware that information we
collect will be processed in the United States, a jurisdiction in which the
privacy laws may not be as comprehensive as those in the country where you
reside and/or are a citizen.

to your personal information, such as the right to know about how we process
your personal information, to access your personal information and obtain a copy

personal information where applicable.  Below, we provide information on how you

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 Consumer Privacy Act
as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act and any implementing regulations
adopted thereunder (“CCPA”).  Terms (including defined capitalized terms) used
in this California section of this Privacy Policy have the same meanings given
in the CCPA, 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 CCPA.

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, or
   disclose, and other 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 CCPA’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; and
 * “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal information”. You may request to 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.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties for money or other
valuable consideration.  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 “share” for cross-context behavioural advertising
as defined in the CCPA.

California residents have the right to opt-out of this information “sharing” (as
defined in the CCPA).  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
“sharing” under the CCPA, 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 CCPA to opt out of the sharing of personal
information by some or all of the participating companies.  For more
information, visit: https://www.privacyrights.info/.

Right to Limit the Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information

Under the CCPA 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 CCPA § 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 CCPA, 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 of your personal
information or to limit the use & disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information
(if the same becomes applicable).

Submitting a request under the CCPA 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 CCPA.  

Retention

We will retain your information for as long as your account is active and as
needed to provide you services, or otherwise to fulfil the purpose(s) for which
your information was collected.  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
your request here. We will respond to these requests within thirty (30) days. 
Requests that come to us by other means may result in a delayed response.
