HILLTOP RECORDS PRIVACY POLICY

Hilltop Records cares about your privacy. This Privacy Policy tells you what information we collect at our website(s) and how we use it. If you choose to visit any of our websites, your visit is subject to this Privacy Policy, and you agree to the terms of it.

Types of Information Collected. We may give you the opportunity to register with us, and registration may be required before certain site features can be used. Our registration forms may request your contact information (such as your name, e-mail address, mailing address, etc.), demographic information (such as your age, gender, etc.), and profile data (such as your music preferences, entertainment practices, etc). You may be assigned a user name and/or password. For our internal purposes, we may use this information to communicate with you and provide the services you have requested, and to provide a more personalized experience on our website(s). For example, your registration may allow you to use and post messages, create site profiles, download or stream music, etc. We may use aggregate demographic and profile information about our users and customers in order to improve our service, for research purposes, marketing/promotional purposes and/or for industry reporting purposes, among others. By visiting our website(s), 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, e-mail communications, or communications through other channels for, among other purposes, the promotion and marketing of a product or service from our music companies, 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 will ask for contact information such as name and e-mail address, and, sometimes, demographic and profile information. By visiting our website(s), 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 e-mail communications. In order to keep our registered users informed about the operation of our services, we may send e-mails and announcements that are needed for the proper functioning and administration of our website(s) and service.

Communications with Us and with Friends. We may employ features that enable you to submit information to us (such as when contacting us with a question or feedback). We may retain your e-mails and other information you submit to us for our internal purposes, and to help us to serve you better. 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 e-mail or e-cards.

Interactive and Community Features. Our website(s) may offer interactive and community features, such as message boards, chat rooms, short message service (SMS), instant messaging, profiles, etc. All information posted or sent by you through these features may be publicly available, and you should be aware that when you voluntarily post personal information (for example, user name, e-mail address, phone number) through these features, such information can be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited communications from other people. By accessing these features and posting 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.

Contests, Sweepstakes and Surveys. We may also have contests, sweepstakes and surveys at our website(s). When you enter or participate in them, we request contact information from you (such as your full name, e-mail 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 e-mail communication. Any personal information we collect may be associated with registration information. We may share aggregate information (but not personally identifiable information) with others. We may sometimes partner with sponsors in offering contests, sweepstakes or surveys, and may share 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 website(s) may automatically collect information from users to assist us in providing users with content that may be of interest. This may involve the use of 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 facilitate log in to our website(s) (such as by remembering usernames and passwords). 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. 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 website(s). We may use this information for our internal security, 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 website(s), you affirmatively consent to our collection, use, and distribution of your data.

We may also use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website(s). These companies may use information (but not your name, address, e-mail address or telephone number) about your visits to our sites and other websites on the Internet in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

Sharing of Information. We may share your information with other third parties with whom we have business relationships. When we have co-sponored services, when we host a site, or when we join with other parties to provide specific services we may share your personal information with them. By visiting our website, you affirmatively consent to our collection, use, and distribution of your data.

Other than as set forth in this Privacy 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 who agree to use it only for that purpose and to keep the information secure and confidential. 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, or those of third parties. Data Collection from Children. We are committed to protecting children's privacy. We strive to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without appropriate parental notice and consent.

E-Commerce. We may establish a merchant/e-commerce area on our website(s) where users can purchase music and merchandise. In that case, personal information (excluding credit card or other financial information) collected by the vendor may be shared with us and will be subject to this Privacy Policy.

Links. We may provide links to third party website(s). 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.

Your acceptance of Privacy Policy and Changes. 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 website(s) may also provide you with additional specific opportunities to select communications you wish to receive. You may change your privacy preferences, and 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.

We reserve the right to modify, alter or otherwise update this Privacy Policy at any time, so we encourage you to review it 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.
