Privacy Policy
We Warner Music UK Limited are concerned about online privacy and we want you to understand how
we collect, use and disclose your personal information. This Privacy Policy applies to the Warner
Music or artist site (“Site”) from which you are linking to it. By using the Site you agree to this Privacy
Policy.
1.
What Types of Information Do We Collect
From You?
We gather three basic types of information
through the Site: “Personally
Identifiable Information” (or “PII”),
“Non-Personally Identifiable Information”
(or “Non-PII”) and “IP Addresses.”
Personally
Identifiable Information
identifies a person as an individual.
You do not have to provide PII to use the Site, but we may ask that you do
so when we are providing opportunities to you through the Site. The information
we ask for will depend on what opportunity we are providing but may include your
name, postal address, telephone number, e-mail address, and for purchases, your
credit card number including any validation code. We may also provide functionality so that you
can send messages about Site-related content to a friend, for example music
clips or artist information. By using
this functionality, you affirm that you are entitled to provide us with the
recipient’s name and e-mail address for this purpose.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
does not personally identify you. It may include your MAC address, your computer
type, screen resolution, OS version, Internet browser, cookies, pixel tags, web
beacons, and other similar technologies to better serve you with more tailored
information and facilitate your ongoing use of our Site. It may also include demographic data, for
example your location. If you do not want information collected through the use
of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to decline
the use of cookies. To learn more about
cookies, please visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org/.
IP
Addresses. Your Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number that
is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider
(ISP). This number is logged
automatically in our server log files whenever you visit the Site, along with
the time of your visit and the pages that you visited. Collecting IP addresses is standard practice
on the Internet and is done automatically by many websites.
2.
How Do We Use The Information We Collect?
Personally Identifiable Information.
We may use PII:
·
to fulfill
your requests such as to send
newsletters to you or complete your purchases.
·
to send
you important information about the Site, or changes to our terms, conditions,
and policies. Because this information
may be important to your use of the Site, you may not opt-out of receiving
these communications.
·
to tell
you about any artists, products, programs, services and promotions we believe
may be of interest to you.
·
to
send messages you have chosen to send to a friend through the Site. We will not
use your friend’s PII except to enable the message to be sent, unless we
disclose any other use purpose to you when you provide this PII. Your friend will be able to see your name and
email address.
·
for internal
business purposes, such as data analysis, audits, developing new products,
improving our services, identifying usage trends and determining the
effectiveness of promotional campaigns.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information. This does not personally identify you. We may use this information and
share it with our affiliates and other third parties for any purpose. We may combine Non-PII with PII, such as
combining your geographic location with your name, but if we do this the
information will be treated by us as PII for so long as it is combined. We may aggregate PII such that the
end-product does not personally identify you or any other user of the Site, for
example by using PII to calculate the percentage of our users who like a
particular artist.
IP Addresses. We use IP addresses for the same purposes for
which we use PII and in addition for calculating Site usage levels, helping
diagnose server problems, and administering the Site and your use of it
including providing opportunities to you and fulfilling your requests and
purchases. Except where otherwise required
by law, we treat IP Addresses, server log files and related information as
Non-PII.
Legal Requirements. We
may use PII, Non-PII and IP Addresses for any purpose required or permitted by the
law of any country.
