When you visit the Site you provide
us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose to
disclose that is collected by us and Site use information collected by us as
you interact with our Site.
When you register with the Site, you provide us with
certain personal information, such as your name, your email address, your
telephone number, your address, your gender, and any other personal or
preference information that you provide to us.
As
with most web servers on the net, when you enter the Site we will automatically
record certain information about your visit in a "log" file. This information may include your IP address,
and hostname if available; the date and time of your access to the Site; the
referring page, if there was one; the pages you visit on our Site; the type of
browser and operating system you use (your browser will give this information
automatically to all web servers); and the media
files you have purchased, downloaded, played, the number of times they have
been played, and the last date they were played.
In addition, we store certain information from your
browser using "cookies." A cookie is a piece of data stored on the
user's computer tied to information about the user. We use session ID cookies
to confirm that users are logged in. These cookies terminate once the user
closes the browser. You can remove or block this cookie using the settings in
your browser if you want to disable this convenience feature.
You post User Content (as defined in the Terms of Use,
and Content Provider Agreement) on the Site at your own risk.
Using
Information We Collect
If
you submit personally identifiable information to us through the Site, then we
use your personal information to operate, maintain, and provide to you the
features and functionality of the Site.
We
use both your personally identifiable information and certain
non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous User usage data,
cookies, IP addresses, browser type, clickstream data, purchase and download
data, etc.) to improve the quality and design of the Site and to create new
features, promotions, functionality, and services by storing, tracking, and
analyzing User preferences and trends.
We
do not use your email address or other personally identifiable information to
send commercial or marketing messages without your consent or except as part of
a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in or
opt-out. We also may use your email
address without further consent for non-marketing or administrative purposes
(such as notifying you of major Site changes or for customer service purposes).
We
use cookies, clear gifs, and log file information to: (a) remember information
so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you
visit the Site; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information; (c)
monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, pages viewed, etc.;
(d) track your entries, submissions, and status in promotions, sweepstakes, and
contests; and (e) fulfill royalty reporting requirements.
Information
We Share with Others
We may contract with other companies to provide certain services,
including market research and promotions management. We provide these companies
with only the information they need to perform their services and work closely
with them to ensure that your privacy is respected and protected. These
companies are prohibited by contract from using this information for their own
marketing purposes or from sharing this information with anyone other than us.
We
may provide information to our subsidiaries, affiliated companies, or other
businesses or persons for the purpose of processing such information on our
behalf. We require that these parties agree to process such information in
compliance with our privacy policy, and we use reasonable efforts to limit
their use of such information and to use other appropriate confidentiality and
security measures.
We
do not share your personally identifiable information (such as name or email
address) with other, third-party companies for their commercial or marketing
use without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for
which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out.
We
do share non-personally-identifiable information (such as anonymous User usage
data, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.)
with interested third-parties to assist them in understanding the usage
patterns for certain content, services, advertisements, promotions, and/or
functionality on the Site.
On rare occasions, we may disclose specific information upon
governmental request, in response to a court order, or when required by law to
do so. We may also share information with companies assisting in fraud
protection or investigation. We do not provide information to these agencies or
companies for marketing or commercial purposes.
We
also reserves the right to disclose personally identifiable information and/or
non-personally-identifiable information that we believe, in good faith, is
appropriate or necessary to enforce our Terms of Use, take precautions against
liability, to investigate and defend itself against any third-party claims or
allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, to protect the security
or integrity of our Site, and to protect the rights, property, or personal
safety of the Company, our Users or others.
We allow other companies, called third-party ad servers
or ad networks, to serve advertisements within our Website. These third-party
ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser, the
advertisements and links that appear on our Website. They automatically receive
your IP address when this happens. They may also use other technologies (such
as cookies, JavaScript, or pixel tags) to measure the effectiveness of their
advertisements and to personalize the advertising content you see.
We do not provide any personally identifiable
information to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent
or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the
ability to opt-in or opt-out. However, please note that if an advertiser asks
us to show an advertisement to a certain audience (for example, men ages 18-34)
or audience segment (for example, men ages 18-24 who have viewed certain
channels of content) and you respond to that advertisement, the advertiser or
ad-server may conclude that you fit the description of the audience they are
trying to reach. The advertiser may also use information regarding your use of
the Site, such as the number of times you viewed an ad (but not any personally
identifiable information), to determine which ads to deliver to you.
You should consult the respective privacy policies of
these third-party ad servers or ad networks for more information on their
practices and for instructions on how to opt-out of certain practices.
Our privacy policy does not apply to, and we cannot
control the activities of, such other advertisers or web sites.
Your account is protected by a password you
create. We implement features reasonably designed to protect the security of
any non-public personal information that is stored in our database, such as
your password. We cannot, however, guaranty the security of your non-public
personal information. Hacking, software or hardware failure and other
unauthorized access to our premises and systems may compromise the security of
our members’ information.
Ultimately, your personal
information is protected by the password you created when you created your
account (or another password you chose after changing a previous password).
Please keep this password confidential. No representative of the Company will
ever ask you for your password. So if you receive any correspondence
purportedly coming from us, please do not supply any password in response to
any such request. The confidentiality of your password is yours to protect. You
may change it anytime by going to the website.
If you have any
questions about the security of the Site, please contact us.
