Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we
feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding
the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses
what information we gather and how we use it.
INFORMATION
E.R. Music LLC. may at any point gather two types of information
about users:
Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions.
These are voluntary submissions to receive our electronic newsletters,
to participate in our message boards or forums, to email a friend,
and from participation in polls and surveys:
Information E.R. Music LLC. gathers through aggregated tracking
information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our
sites. This information allows us to better tailor our content to
readers' needs and to help our advertisers and sponsors better understand
the demographics of our audience. Under no circumstances does E.R.
Music LLC. divulge any information about an individual user to a
third party.
USAGE TRACKING
E.R. Music LLC. tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our
sites. However, we do not correlate this information with data about
individual users. E.R. Music LLC. does break down overall usage
statistics according to a user's domain name, browser type, and
MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information
contained in every user's browser). E.R. Music LLC. sometimes tracks
and catalogs the search terms that users enter in our Search function,
but this tracking is never associated with individual users. We
use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users
like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track
what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs
overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.
COOKIES
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser
files of your computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal
Information although it will enable us to relate your use of this
site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided.
But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information
you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk
or read cookie files created by other sites. E.R. Music LLC. uses
cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above). Our
advertising system delivers a one-time cookie to better track ad
impressions and click rates.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If
you've set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you
will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need
to have cookies turned on to use this site. However, you do need
cookies to participate actively in message boards, forums, polling
and surveys.
USE OF INFORMATION
E.R. Music LLC. uses any information voluntarily given by our users
to enhance their experience in our network of sites, whether to
provide interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to
better prepare future content based on the interests of our users.
As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide
in order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users
to participate in polls, surveys, message boards, and forums. We
send out newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (depending
on the newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions when
we think subscribers might be particularly interested in something
we are doing. E.R. Music LLC. never shares newsletter mailing lists
with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.
When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our
sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas.
We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well
each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better
service for you. We track search terms entered in Search function
as one of many measures of what interests our users. But we don't
track which terms a particular user enters.
E.R. Music LLC. creates aggregate reports on user demographics
and traffic patterns for advertisers, sponsors and partners. This
allows our advertisers to advertise more effectively, and allows
our users to receive advertisements that are pertinent to their
needs. Because we don't track the usage patterns of individual users,
an advertiser or sponsor will never know that a specific user clicked
their ad. We will not disclose any information about any individual
user except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process
or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.
SHARING OF THE INFORMATION
We will not share information about individual users with any third
party, except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process
or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.
SECURITY
E.R. Music LLC. operates secure data networks protected by industry
standard firewall and password protection systems. Our security
and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary
and only authorized individuals have access to the information provided
by our customers.
YOUR CONSENT
By using this site, you consent to the collection and use of this
information by E.R. Music LLC.. If we decide to change our privacy
policy, we will post those changes so that you are always aware
of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances
we disclose it.
