REAUL ENTERTAINMENT GROUP PRIVACY POLICY
Reaul Entertainment Group and this site care about your privacy.
This privacy policy tells you what information we collect at our web sites and how we use it.
If you choose to visit any of the Reaul Entertainment Group web sites, your visit is
subject to this privacy policy, and you agree to the terms of it.
WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT
There are many places at our sites where you can share your personal
information with us, and where you can communicate with others.
Registration. Some of our sites give you the opportunity to register with us,
and sometimes registration is required before certain site features can be used.
Our registration forms may request your contact information (such as your name,
email address, mailing address, etc.), demographic information (such as your
country, gender, etc.), and profile data (such as your music preferences,
entertainment practices, etc). You may be assigned a site username and/or
password. For our internal purposes, we use this information to communicate with
you and provide the services you have requested, and to provide a more
personalized experience on our sites. For example, your registration may allow
you to use and post to site message boards, create site profiles, etc. We use
aggregate demographic and profile information about our audience in order to
improve our service, for research purposes, marketing/promotional purposes
and/or for industry reporting purposes, among others. By visiting our sites, you
affirmatively consent to our collection and use of your data.
Newsletters and Other Communications from Us. Our registered users and
customers may receive newsletters, email communications, or communications
through other channels for, among other purposes, the promotion and marketing of
a product or service from our family of sites and record labels, as well as
other Reaul Entertainment Group companies, and business partners, and we may also offer
other visitors to our sites the opportunity to sign up to receive such
information. When there is a separate sign-up for newsletters, we ask for
contact information such as name and email address, and, sometimes, demographic
and profile information. By visiting our sites, you affirmatively consent to our
collection and use of your data. We use this information in the same manner as
we use the contact information in the Registration process described above. We
may offer our users the choice whether to receive mailings from others that we
think will be of interest. Recipients of our mailings can unsubscribe by
following instructions that may appear at the end of email communications. Note
that in order to keep our registered users informed about the operation of our
services, we may send emails and announcements that are needed for the proper
functioning and administration of our sites and service.
Communications with Us. We have features where you can submit information to us
(such as when contacting us with a question or feedback). We may retain your
emails and other information you submit to us for our internal purposes, and to
help us to serve you better.
Communications with Friends. We may offer features where you can send
information to others, such as e-cards or "Tell A Friend" features. We will use
the contact information you enter for your friends to send the email or e-card.
Interactive and Community Features. Our sites may offer interactive and
community features, such as message boards, chat, email accounts, short message
service (SMS), instant messaging, profiles, personal homepages, etc. All
information posted or sent through these features may be publicly available, and
you should be aware that when you voluntarily disclose personal information
(e.g., user name, email address, phone number) through these features, that
information can be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited
communications from other people. By accessing these features and disclosing
personal information, you affirmatively consent to the distribution of your
personal information as described above. Users' posts may be publicly and/or
internally associated with their profiles/screen-names. Users are solely
responsible for the content of messages they post or send on public forums.
The messages express the veiws of the author of the message, not necessarily the views
of Reaul Entertainment Group. You agree, through use of this service, that you will not post any
material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful,
harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise
violative of any law. You agree not to post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you.
Contests, Sweepstakes and Surveys. We may also have contests, sweepstakes and
surveys at our sites. When you enter or participate in them, we request contact
information from you (such as your full name, email address, mailing address,
and telephone number) and may also request demographic or profile information.
We will use the information you provide for the purpose of conducting the
promotion (for example, to contact you if you have won). We may also use the
information to send you newsletters and other information we think may be of
interest. Recipients of our mailings can unsubscribe by following instructions
that may appear at the end of the email communication. Any personal information
we collect may be associated with registration information. We may share
aggregate information with others. We may sometimes partner with sponsors in
offering contests, sweepstakes or surveys, and may share (provide and receive)
information with them. By entering or participating in such contests,
sweepstakes, and surveys, you affirmatively consent to our collection and use of
your data.
AUTOMATIC DATA COLLECTION
Our web sites have features that automatically collect information from users
to assist us in creating sites that honor our users' preferences and serve their
interests and needs.
Some of our sites use cookies, which are small data files containing
information about the user that are stored on the user's hard drive. Some
cookies are used to make login to our sites easier (such as by remembering
usernames and passwords). Cookies can also enable us to track users' movements
and target their interests to enhance their experience at our sites. We may also
collect clickstream data and assign unique identifiers to our users for the same
purposes. Information obtained with these technologies may be associated with
your personal information so we can better market to you and customize our
advertisements and promotions to your interests.
We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you
visit our web sites. These companies may use information (not including
your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to our
sites and other web sites on the Internet in order to provide advertisements
about goods and services of interest to you.
Most common web browsers today, such as Firefox and Internet Explorer, allow
you to modify your settings to block cookies entirely, alert you every time they
are being sent, or allow their use by only those web sites you choose. You
can also delete cookies that are currently stored on your computer’s hard drive.
To do this within Firefox or Internet Explorer, go to Tools, then Options or
Internet Options, and then choose the Privacy tab to make your selections.
If you choose to disable cookies, certain features on our web sites may not be
available or work properly. Also, please note that if you disable/delete
all cookies stored on your computer, you will have also disabled the cookies
that are used by NAI to help prevent you from receiving unwanted advertising
from third party ad networks. If you do not want this to happen, please
make sure not to disable/delete the NAI cookie or add NAI to the approved list
of sites from whom you allow/accept cookies. Through the
use of web logs or log files, we may also gather information such as the date,
time, browser type, navigation history, and IP address of all visitors to our
site(s). We use this information for our internal security audit log, trend
analysis, and system administration, and to gather broad demographic information
about our user base. We may associate this information with your personal
information. By visiting our sites, you affirmatively consent to our collection,
use, and distribution of your data.
WITH WHOM YOUR INFORMATION IS SHARED
Information provided at Artist sites that we host or manage may be shared
with that Artist, including their management, representatives, and any new label
they may join. As with other third parties, we are not responsible for how the
Artists handle the data once they receive it. When we have co-branded or
sponsored services, when we host a site, or when we join with other parties to
provide specific services, we may share (provide and receive) your personal
information with them. By visiting these sites, you affirmatively consent to our
collection, use and distribution of your data.
We may share your information with other third parties with whom we have
business relationships and, in some cases, we cannot control or know their
privacy practices. By visiting our sites, you affirmatively consent to our
collection, use, and distribution of your data.
Other than as set forth in this policy, we do not share your personally
identifiable information with other companies, apart from those acting as our
agents in providing our service to you, and which agree to use it only for that
purpose and to keep the information secure and confidential. Also, please be
aware that Reaul Entertainment Group's subsidiary
and affiliated companies and sites, entities into which our companies may be
merged, or entities to which any of our assets, products, sites or operations
may be transferred, may obtain from us and be able to use your personal
information. We will also disclose information we maintain when required to do
so by law, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena or other
legal obligation, in response to a law enforcement agency's request, or in
special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is
necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be
causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally)
our rights or property. You should also be aware that courts of equity, such as
U.S. Bankruptcy Courts, may have the authority under certain circumstances to
permit your information to be shared or transferred to third parties without
your permission.
We may share (provide and receive) aggregate information, which is not
personally identifiable, with others. This information may include demographic
data such as the gender and/or geographic location of groups of users, but it
will not include personal information (such as your name or email address). We
use aggregate demographic information about our audience in order to improve our
service, for research purposes, marketing/promotional purposes and/or for
industry reporting purposes, among others.
CHOICE
By accepting this privacy policy, you expressly choose to receive certain
communications from us and third parties, and you expressly agree to the privacy
practices described herein. Our sites may also provide you with additional
specific opportunities to select communications you wish to receive. You may
change your privacy preferences, e.g. choose to cease receiving certain
communications, by informing us of your new preferences. We will be able to
honor your new preferences most quickly if you inform us of them by following
the appropriate instructions in any communication you receive from us. Please be
aware that messages you receive from us through SMS and instant messaging
systems (and other systems apart from email) may not include an option to cease
receiving communications; to change your privacy preferences with respect to
those communications, please go to the profile page at the site where you
provided your personal information or direct your instructions to the Contact
identified at the end of this policy.
ACCESS
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as zip code),
we endeavor to provide a way to correct or update that user's personal data.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions regarding making
changes to your data.
DATA COLLECTION FROM CHILDREN
We strive to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act
(COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from U.S. children
under 13 without appropriate parental notice and consent. Sites that are
directed to children where personal information is collected should have a
Children's Privacy Policy setting forth our COPPA-compliant practices. At many
sites, we actively screen-out children from data collection and/or use of
interactive or community features. We are committed to protecting children's
privacy.
NOTICE: Visit
www.ftc.gov/kidzprivacy for information from the Federal Trade Commission
about protecting children's privacy online.
SECURITY
Security for all personally identifiable information is extremely important
to us. We store your personal information securely, and use special procedures
designed to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, unauthorized
access or disclosure, alteration or destruction.
MERCHANT/E-COMMERCE AREAS
We do not generally make e-commerce offerings at our sites. Some of our sites
do have merchant/e-commerce areas, where users can purchase merchandise.
Where we do make e-commerce offerings there is a separate privacy policy. Please
review it if you use that portion of the site.
LINKS
We may provide links to non-Reaul Entertainment Group sites. We are not
responsible for those other sites, their privacy policies or how they treat
information about their users, and we advise you to check their privacy
policies.
PRIVACY POLICY CHANGES
We reserve the right to modify, alter or otherwise update this Privacy Policy
at any time, so we encourage you to review this policy from time to time.
Changes to this privacy policy are effective at the time they are posted and
your continued use of our sites after posting will constitute acceptance of, and
agreement to be bound by, those changes.
