How We May Collect Other Information
We and our third-party service providers may collect Other Information in a
variety of ways, including:
Through your browser or your device: Certain information is collected by most
browsers, such as your Media Access Control (MAC) address, device type
(Windows or Macintosh), screen resolution, operating system version, Internet
browser type and version and the type and version of a Property that you are
using. We and our service providers may also collect a unique device identifier
assigned by us or our service providers to the device from which you are
accessing a Property and other transactional information for the device that we
and our service providers may use to serve content to the device.
Through your use of Mobile Apps: When you download and use a Mobile
App, we and our service providers may track and collect Mobile App usage data,
such as the date and time the Mobile App on your device accesses our servers
and what information and files have been downloaded to the Mobile App based
on your device number.
Through server log files: An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number that is
automatically assigned to your device from which you are accessing a Property
by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), and is identified and logged automatically
in our server log files whenever you visit the Property, along with the time of the
visit and the activity on the Property. We and our service providers use IP
addresses for purposes such as calculating Property usage levels, helping
diagnose server problems, administering the Properties and determining your
approximate geographic location.
Using cookies: We and our service providers may use cookies, pixel tags, web
beacons, Adobe Flash technology (including Flash Local Stored Objects (“Flash
LSOs”)) and other similar technologies to, among other things, better serve you
with more tailored information for our products and services, and for those of
third parties, facilitate your ongoing access to and use of the Properties, and
collect and store information about your use of the Properties. For example,
pixel tags and web beacons may be used in connection with a Property to,
among other things, track the actions of such Property’s users, measure the
success of marketing campaigns and compile statistics about such Property’s
usage and response rates.
o If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a
simple procedure on most devices through which the Properties are accessed
that allows you to decline the use of cookies. To learn more about cookies,
please visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org/. If you choose to decline cookies,
then some or all of the features, functionality and promotions available through
the Properties may not be available to you.
o If your device stores Flash LSOs, and if you do not want Flash LSOs stored on
your device through which you access the Properties, you can adjust the settings
of your Flash player to block Flash LSO storage using the tools contained using
the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash LSOs by going
to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may
include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash LSOs
(referred to as “information” on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs
from being placed on your device without you being asked, and (for Flash Player
8 and later) how to block Flash LSOs that are not being delivered by the operator
of the page you are on at the time). Please note that setting the Flash Player to
restrict or limit acceptance of Flash LSOs may reduce or impede the functionality
of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in
connection with the Properties or our content. We expect our service providers
and technology suppliers to honor any decision by you to restrict or limit Flash
LSOs, but we cannot guarantee that they will do so.
o The use of these technologies allows our vendors and third parties and their
vendors to deliver advertisements about our products and services, and the
products and services of others, when you use the Properties or other
applications or visit websites or web properties across the Internet. These
parties may place so-called “pixel tags,” “web beacons,” “clear GIFs” or similar
technologies on the device through which you access the Properties, and other
applications or websites across the Internet, and also place or recognize third-
party cookies when you use the Properties, or other applications, websites or
web properties. These vendors may use information about your visits to the
Properties, and other applications, websites or web properties (excluding your
name, address, and telephone number) to provide advertisements for us and
others about goods and services that may be of interest to you. If you would like
more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having
this information used by these companies, please visit the Network Advertising
Initiative at www.networkadvertising.org or the Digital Advertising Alliance
at www.aboutads.info.
o Our Properties do not respond to browser-based do-not-track signals.
Geographic location information: If you use any location-enabled products or
services, you may be sending us location information. When you use a location-
enabled service, we may collect and process information about your precise
geographical location, such as GPS signals sent by a mobile device. We and our
third party service providers and partners may use your device’s physical location
to provide you with personalized location-based services, content and
advertisements. In some instances, you may be permitted to allow or deny such
uses of your device’s location, but if you choose to deny such uses, we may not
be able to provide you with the applicable personalized services and content.
From you: We may collect demographic information, such as your zip code or
gender, as well as other information, such as your preferred means of
communication, when you voluntarily provide this information to us. Unless
combined with Personal Information, this information does not personally identify
you or any other user of the Properties.
Information about how you interact on the Properties: We may collect
information about how you interact on the Properties. For example, some
Properties may utilize analytic tools to help us better serve you through improved
products, services, and revisions to the Properties. This collected information
may let us know which services and features you are using the most within a
Property, as well as device type and hardware features, country and language of
By aggregating information: We may aggregate Personal Information so that
the end-product does not personally identify you or any other user of the
Properties, for example, by using Personal Information to calculate the
percentage of our users who like a particular artist.
How We May Use and Disclose Other Information
Please note that we may use and disclose Other Information for any purpose,
except where we are required to do otherwise under applicable law. If we are
required to treat Other Information as Personal Information under applicable law,
then we may use it as described in “How We May Collect Other Information”
section above, as well as for all the purposes for which we use and disclose
Personal Information. In some instances, we may combine Other Information
with Personal Information (such as combining your name with your geographical
location). If we combine any Other Information with Personal Information, the
combined information will be treated by us as Personal Information as long as it
