MUSIC UK PRIVACY POLICY |

This Privacy Policy explains
how we use information we collect about you and the choices you can make about
the way such information is collected and used.
As some of our computer systems are currently based in the United States,
personally identifiable information may be hosted and processed in the United
States where data protection and privacy regulations may not offer the same
level of statutory protection as applies in the EU. Please be assured that we
take reasonable steps to ensure that your privacy is protected.
The Information We Collect and How We Use It
At some of our sites or applications, you can order products, enter contests,
vote in polls or otherwise express an opinion, subscribe to one of our services
such as our online newsletters, or participate in one of our online forums or
communities. The types of information that may be collected at these pages
include: your name, e-mail address, postal address, and telephone number. We
request these details in order to provide the service or product to you, to
respond to any queries you may have, and to understand customer trends and
patterns.
We may also use the information you provide to send you details of our products
and services we think may be of interest to you. However, we will always give
you the opportunity to prevent us from using personally identifiable information
in this way. If you ever decide that you no longer wish to receive information
from this site or application, email
ukinfo@warnermusic.com
with your request at any time.
We may on occasion combine information we receive online with other records to
enhance our ability to notify you of our products and services that we think
will be of interest to you and to improve our understanding of customer trends
and patterns.
We may ask you for other information, including, but not limited to, your
interests, age, and sex to assist us in our initiatives outlined above and to
improve our understanding of customer trends and patterns. However, we will
clearly mark any information that is not required for providing the product or
service as requested.
When you enter a chat-room or public forum please be aware that information you
disclose in these areas (including your e-mail address) can be collected and
used by people you do not know. This may result in unsolicited messages being
sent to you by other organisations or individuals.
At some of our sites or applications, you may be able to submit information
about other people. For example, you might submit a person's name and e-mail
address to send an electronic greeting card and, if you order a gift on-line and
want it sent directly to the recipient, you might submit the recipient's name
and address. The types of information that may be collected about other people
at these pages include: recipient's name, address, and e-mail address. We will
use this information to provide the product or service as requested.
Cookies and Technical Information
When you visit this site or application we send "cookies" to your
computer primarily to enhance your on-line experience. "Cookies" are
files which can identify you as a unique customer and store your personal
preferences as well as technical information. On their own cookies do not
contain or reveal any personally identifiable information. However, if you
choose to furnish the site or application with personally identifiable
information, this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookies.
We may also collect certain anonymous technical information when you visit many
of our web pages such as the type of browser you are using, the type of
operating system you are using and the domain name of your Internet service
provider.
We use cookies and technical information to personalise your visit to our site
or application (e.g., to recognise you by name when you return to our site or
application) and to track customer trends and patterns. This helps us improve
the design and content of our site or application for visitors and assists us in
our marketing initiatives.
Although most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, you can set most
browsers at any time to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being
sent. However, please note that some parts of this site or application may not
function properly if you refuse cookies.
Outside Parties
We may share information about visitors to this site or application in an
anonymous or aggregate form with third parties including advertisers, business
partners, and sponsors, to understand customer trends and patterns and manage
and improve our business relationships.
We may share personally identifiable information with third parties to
administer and process your requests (e.g., when you order a product or service
we may share details with third party financial institutions to process payment
for your order). We may also share details with third parties (such as auditors
or legal advisors) to obtain professional advice. Agents and contractors who
have access to personally identifiable information are required to protect this
information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy by, for
example, not using the information for any purpose other than to carry out the
services they are performing.
If we intend to disclose personally identifiable information to outside
organisations who want to market products or services to you, we will provide
you with an opportunity to block such transfers. If you subsequently decide that
you no longer wish us to make transfers to other organisations for this purpose,
then simply email
ukinfo@warnermusic.com with your request.
We may disclose information we hold in response to legal proceedings, for
example, in response to a court order or a subpoena. We may also disclose such
information in response to a law enforcement agency's request. We also reserve
the right to disclose information to third parties where a complaint arises
concerning your use of our site or application, and that use is deemed by us to
be inconsistent with the Privacy Policy or our Terms of Use.
It is possible that we could merge or be acquired by another business. If this
happens, we may share the information we hold which relates to you. You will be
sent notice of such an event, and we will require that the recipient follows the
privacy practices that you have agreed with us.
Although we will take all reasonable efforts to ensure that this Privacy Policy
is complied with, we cannot guarantee that personally identifiable information
that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with
this Privacy Policy.
Links, Advertisers, Third Party Sponsors & Ad-Servers
Some of our sites or applications contain links to other sites where information
practices may be different to ours. For example, if you "click" on a
banner advertisement the "click" may take you off this web site or
application. This includes links from advertisers, channel sponsors and partners
that may use our logos as part of a co-branding agreement. Visitors should
consult the other sites' privacy notices as we are not responsible for and have
no control over information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third
parties.
We sometimes may offer content (e.g., competitions, sweepstakes, or promotions)
that is sponsored by or cobranded with identified third parties. By virtue of
these relationships, the third parties may obtain personally identifiable
information that you voluntarily submit to participate in the site/application
activity. We are not responsible for and have no control over these third
parties' use of this information. However, we will notify you at the time of
requesting personally identifiable information if these third parties will
obtain such information.
We may use a reputable third party to present or serve the advertisements that
you may see at this site or application. This Privacy Policy does not cover any
use of information that a third-party ad server may have collected from you.
Security
Although absolute security cannot be guaranteed on the Internet, please be
assured that we have in place security measures to protect the confidentiality
of the information we collect online. We will continue to maintain and improve
these measures over time in line with legal and technological developments.
Access to Information
You can contact us at any time at
ukinfo@warnermusic.com to see the personally identifiable information we have collected through
this site or application which relates to you, and to ask us to make any
necessary changes to correct or update this information . To protect your
privacy and security we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity
before granting access.
Changes to our Privacy Policy
If we decide to substantially change this Privacy Policy, the changes will be
posted on this page so that you are always aware of the information we collect,
how we use it and under what circumstances we disclose it. We will not use or
disclose personally identifiable information provided to us in ways unrelated to
the ones described above without informing you and providing you with an
opportunity to opt-out of these unrelated uses.
