WARNER MUSIC UK PRIVACY POLICY
This
privacy policy explains how Warner Music UK Limited (“Warner”, “we”, “our”, “us”) may collect information
about you when you use our online or wireless services (the “Services”),
including the services on this website (the “Site”) and the choices you
can make about the way that information is collected and used.
When you
use this Site, Warner Music UK Limited collects information about you. We are a subsidiary of Warner Music Group
Corp. We may provide the information we
collect about you to other members of our group who will only use that
information in accordance with this policy, unless you give them consent to do
otherwise.
We may
collect two types of information about you: personal information (information
that identifies you as an individual, for example your name, postal address,
telephone number, e-mail address, credit card number or other payment account
number) and other information, for example anonymised demographic information
that does not reveal your specific identity.
Our
Services are not intended for children under the age of 13. If you are under 13, please do not provide
us with any personal information. If
you are between 13 and 16, please read this Privacy Policy with your parent or
guardian to make sure you and your parent or guardian understand how we will
use your personal information.
As some of
our computer systems are currently based in the United States, personal
information about you 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
We may
collect personal information from you (including your name, e-mail address,
postal address, and telephone number) when you set up an account, order
products, enter contests, vote in polls or otherwise express an opinion,
subscribe to one of our services such as our online newsletters or mailing
lists, or participate in one of our online forums or communities. We use 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 your personal information to send you details of our group companies’
products and services we think may be of interest to you. If you ever decide
that you no longer wish to receive information from us or our group companies,
please contact us using the address in the How to Contact Us section 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 additional 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.
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. Our site may allow you 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 or, 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 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 personal
information. However, if you choose to provide your personal information via
this site, such 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 (e.g.,
to recognise you by name when you return to our site) and to track customer
trends and patterns. This helps us improve the design and content of our site
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.
Please refer to your browser’s website for more information on cookies,
including how to disable them. However, please note that some parts of this
site may not function properly if you refuse cookies.
Outside
Parties
We may
share information about visitors to this site 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 personal information with third parties to administer and provide our
services to you (for example we use third party financial institutions to
process payment for products and services you 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 personal 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 your personal information to outside organisations who want
to market products or services to you, we will ask for your consent to do so.
If you give consent and subsequently decide that you no longer wish us to make
transfers to other organisations for this purpose, please contact us using the
address in the How to Contact Us section and we will cease to do so.
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, and that use is deemed by us to be inconsistent with the
Privacy Policy or our Terms and Conditions of Use.
It is possible that we could merge or be acquired by another business. During
such a process, we may share your personal information with our potential
merger partner or buyer. In the event that we, or a substantial part of our
assets, are acquired by another organisation, your information will be
transferred to that organisation, but we will require that the recipient
follows the privacy practices that you have agreed with us. You will be notified of any change in
ownership and given an opportunity to object to further processing of your
personal information. Although we will take all reasonable efforts to ensure
that this Privacy Policy is complied with, we cannot guarantee that personal
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
Our site
may contain links to other sites where information practices may be different
to ours, including links from advertisers, channel sponsors and partners that
may use our logos as part of a co-branding agreement. For example, if you
"click" on a banner advertisement the "click" may take you
off this web site. You 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 may use
a reputable third party to present or serve the advertisements that you may see
at this site. This Privacy Policy does not cover any use of information that a
third-party ad server may have collected from you.
We may
sometimes 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 personal 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 personal information if
these third parties will obtain such information.
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.

to verify your identity before granting access. You may also access and edit your personal details by going to

Changes
to our Privacy Policy
If we
decide to substantially change this Privacy Policy, the changes will be posted
on this site 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
