Privacy Notice
Thank you for visiting
http://www.prettyricky.com (the "Site"), a website operated by
Atlantic Recording Corporation ("Atlantic," "we,"
"us"). Your privacy is
important to us. 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 Atlantic Records, Inc.).
You acknowledge and agree
that when you provide any Personally Identifiable Information to us, you are
knowingly and voluntarily providing us this Personally Identifiable Information
for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice and for the uses to which it
will be put by us and others. 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. We may send you periodic reminders
of this Privacy Notice or our Terms of Use by email, but you should check the
Site frequently to see the most recent changes. You can determine when this Privacy Notice was last revised by
referring to the "Last Updated" legend at the top of this page. Any changes to our Privacy Notice will
become effective upon posting of the revised Privacy Notice on the Internet,
accessible through the Site. Use of the
Site following such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy
Notice then in effect.
The Site is controlled and
operated by Atlantic from the United States, and is not intended to subject
Atlantic to the laws or jurisdiction of any state, country or territory other
than that of the United States. Atlantic
does not represent or warrant that the Site or any part thereof is appropriate
or available for use in any particular jurisdiction. Those who choose to access the Site do so on their own initiative
and at their own risk, and are responsible for complying with all local laws,
rules and regulations.
Note Regarding the Use of
This Site by Children: The Site is not directed to individuals under the age of
thirteen (13), and we request that such individuals do not provide personally
identifiable information through the Site.
I. 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.
a. 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.
b. 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.
i.
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.
ii. 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.
iii.
Information That You Voluntarily Provide.
We also collect certain Non-PII — for example, information about your
interests, your geographic location, etc. — 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.
II. How We Use the
Information
a. Personally Identifiable
Information. We may use PII in the
following ways:
i. Fulfillment of
Requests. We may use your PII to
fulfill your requests — for example, to send you newsletters that you request
when you sign up to join our mailing list.
ii.
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.
iii. 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.
iv. 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.
v. 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.
b. 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.
III. Collection of Personally
Identifiable Information by Third Parties
a. Third Party Sites.
The Site may contain links to web sites operated by third parties
("Third Party Sites") whose privacy practices may be different from
ours. Such Third Party Sites include,
but are not limited to, certain forums and online shopping areas that are
linked from but not hosted on the Site, and any other third party hosted
services available through the Site.
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. The inclusion of any links to
Third Party Sites is not an indication of our endorsement, support or approval
of the content of the linked site.
b. Third Party Ad Servers. We do not currently partner with or have special relationships
with any third-party ad server companies to serve or present the ads that
appear on the Site.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE
PRIVACY NOTICES AND PRACTICES OF ANY THIRD PARTIES TO WHOM YOU MAY PROVIDE
PII. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS NOTICE DOES
NOT ADDRESS THE PRIVACY OR PRIVACY PRACTICES OF ANY THIRD PARTIES.
IV. Other Important Notes
Regarding Our Privacy Practices.
a. Security. We
have put in place certain physical, electronic and managerial procedures to
help us safeguard against unauthorized access and maintain data security. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as
perfect security. No data transmission
over the Internet or data storage solution will be 100% secure. As a result, although we take steps to
protect your PII, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information
you transmit to or receive from us or that we store on our or our Service
Providers' systems, and you do so at your own risk.
Note that you are ultimately responsible for maintaining
the secrecy of your username, passwords and/or any account information. If you have reason to believe that your
interaction with the Site is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that
the security of your Site username or password has been compromised), you must
immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us in accordance with the
section entitled "How to Contact Us," below. (Note that contacting us by physical mail
will delay the time it takes for us to respond to your communication.)
b. How You Can Access or Change Your PII. If you would like to review or change the
PII that we have collected about you through the Site, or to remove your PII
from our database, you may either access your online profile using means
provided through the Site, or email us at
atlanticstreet@atlantic-recording.com.
To protect your privacy and security, we may take reasonable steps to
help verify your identity before granting access to, making changes to, or
removing, your PII. We will endeavor to
comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable. However, we may need to retain certain
information for recordkeeping purposes, and there may also be residual
information that will remain within our databases and other records, which will
not be changer or removed. We also
reserve the right, from time to time, to re-contact former users of the
Site. Finally, please note that we are
not responsible for removing information from the databases of affiliates or
third parties with whom we have already shared your PII.
c. Opt-In. When
you provide us with your PII, we may ask you to indicate whether you are
interested in receiving offers regarding products, programs or services that we
believe may be of interest to you. If
you elect, by opting-in, to receive these offers, we will occasionally send you
offers that match your requests. At any
time, you may change your preferences so that you are no longer opted-in to
receiving these offers and/or other direct marketing emails from us. If you would like to change your
notification preferences, or if you feel that you have received an email
message from us in error, please follow the unsubscribe instructions located in
the latest email you received.
Alternatively, please write to the following address and state that you
no longer wish to receive such offers or marketing materials from us (please
note that postal mail requests will delay the time it takes for us to
respond):

assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of our assets

similar proceedings).
