To better protect your privacy, we provide this Privacy Notice (the "Privacy Notice") explaining our practices in connection with Personally Identifiable Information (as defined below) that we collect through the Site. This Privacy Notice does not govern our collection of information through any other website, or by any other means, other than through the Site, or the collection of information by any parent, subsidiaries, sponsors or affiliated companies of Atlantic (including, but not limited to, Warner Music, Inc. and Fueled By Ramen, Inc.).

If you do not agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Notice, please do not use the Site.

Our business changes constantly, so we reserve the right to change this Privacy Notice without prior notice.

The Information We Collect
We gather two basic types of information from you through the Site. "Personally Identifiable Information" (or "PII") and "Non-Personally Identifiable Information" (or "Non-PII"). "Personally Identifiable Information" is information that identifies you as an individual, for example, your name, address, email address, telephone number and fax number. "Non-Personally Identifiable Information" is aggregated information, demographic information, IP address information, and any other information that does not reveal your specific identity.
1. Personally Identifiable Information. You do not have to provide PII to use the Site. However, in order for you to take advantage of particular opportunities provided through the Site (for example, to join our mailing list or to enter contests, sweepstakes, and similar promotions), we may require that you furnish PII. We collect PII from you only when you voluntarily provide it to us.
  
  Please note that various services offered through the Site (for example, certain forums and online shopping areas) are hosted on Third Party Sites, as defined below. For more information on collection of PII by third parties through such Third Party Sites, please see the section entitled "Collection of Personally Identifiable Information by Third-Parties," below.
2. Non-Personally Identifiable Information. We (and certain of our Third Party Service Providers, as defined below) may also collect certain Non-PII when you visit many of our web pages, such as the type of browser you are using (e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer, or Firefox), the type of operating system you are using, (e.g., Windows or Mac OS), and the domain name of your Internet Service Provider (America Online, EarthLink). Non-PII is generally collected from three different sources: server log files, cookies, and information that you voluntarily provide.
  1. Server Logs. Your Internet Protocol (IP) address is an identifying number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). This number is identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever you visit the Site, along with the time(s) of your visit(s) and the page(s) that you visited. We use your IP address, and the IP addresses of all Site visitors, to calculate Site usage levels, to help diagnose problems with the Site's servers, and to administer the Site. We also reserve the right to use IP addresses to communicate with Site visitors and, if necessary, to block access by Site visitors who fail to comply with our Terms of Use or other terms, conditions, or policies governing the use of the Site. Collecting IP addresses is standard practice on the Internet and is done automatically by many websites.
  2. Cookies. To enhance your experience with the Site, the Site uses "cookies." Cookies are text files we place in your computer's browser to store your preferences. We use cookies to understand Site usage and to improve the content and offerings on the Site. For example, we may use cookies to personalize your experience on the Site (e.g., to recognize you by name when you return to our Site), and to make the login process easier for password-protected areas of the Site.
    
    The "Help" menu, accessible through the menu bar of most browsers, may tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, and/or how to disable cookies altogether. Note, however, that cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of our most innovative and useful features.
  3. Information That You Voluntarily Provide. We also collect certain Non-PII Ñ for example, information about your interests, your geographic location, etc. Ñ when you voluntarily provide such information to us. Additionally, we may aggregate PII in a manner 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 have a particular telephone area code. Such aggregate information is considered Non-PII for purposes of this Privacy Notice.
How We Use the Information
1. Personally Identifiable Information. We may use PII in the following ways:
  1. Fulfillment of Requests. We may use your PII to fulfill your requests Ñ for example, to send you newsletters that you request when you sign up to join our mailing list.
  2. Third Party Service Providers. We may share your PII with our third party service providers who provide certain services (including, but not limited to, website hosting, data analysis, newsletter services, and other services of an administrative nature) (such third parties, our "Third Party Service Providers") solely for the purpose of enabling such Third Party Service Providers to provide such services.
  3. Communications. We may also use your PII to respond to your inquiries, and, provided that you have opted in (see the section entitled "Opt-In," below), to offer you other products, programs or services that we believe may be of interest to you. In addition, from time to time, in our sole discretion, we may use your PII to confirm your registration with the Site or a purchase or other transaction through the Site, to inform you that we have received your PII, to email you important information regarding the Site, or to inform you of changes to our Terms of Use or other terms, conditions, or policies ("Administrative Emails"). Because this information may be critical to your use of the Site, you may not opt out of receiving these emails.
  4. Sweepstakes, Contests, Raffles and Other Similar Promotions. We may, whether alone or in cooperation with third party sponsors, operate sweepstakes, contests, and similar promotions ("Promotions") through or in connection with the Site. We typically ask you for certain PII when you enter or otherwise participate in a Promotion, and, if applicable, when you win a Promotion. We reserve the right to share this PII with affiliated and third party sponsors of such Promotions ("Sponsors"), or otherwise in accordance with the rules applicable to Promotion. You should carefully review the rules of each Promotion in which you participate through the Site, as they may contain important additional information about our or our Sponsors' use of your PII. To the extent that the terms and conditions of such rules concerning the treatment of your PII conflict with this Privacy Notice, the terms and conditions of such rules shall control.
  5. Miscellaneous. Finally, notwithstanding any other provision of this Privacy Notice to the contrary, we reserve the right to disclose your PII if we believe that we are required to do so (a) by law; (b) in response to legal process, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena; (c) in response to a law enforcement agency's request; (d) to enforce our Terms of Use or other terms, conditions, or policies; (e) to protect our operations; (f) to protect the rights, privacy, safety or property of Atlantic, you or others; and (g) to permit us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain. For example, we may, to the fullest extent the law allows, disclose PII about you to law enforcement agencies to assist them in identifying individuals who have been or may be engaged in unlawful activities.
2. Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Because Non-PII does not personally identify you, we reserve the right use such information, and to share such Non PII with third parties. for any purpose.

Site users should consult such third parties' privacy notices when using such Third Party Sites, as we have no control over the collection or use of such PII by these third parties. Use of such Third Party Sites is at your own risk. If you provide PII through any such Third Party Sites, your transaction will occur on such Third Party Site (not the Site) and the PII you provide will be collected by, and controlled by the privacy notice of, that third party.
