Symphonic Distribution, Inc. (“Symphonic”) cares about your privacy. We are committed to maintaining your trust by protecting your Personal Information (as defined below). This privacy policy (the “Policy”) describes our policies on the collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information in connection with your use of our websites, social media web pages, online services and emails (individually and collectively, the “Site” or “Sites”).

Personal Information collected on the Sites may be used in the manner described below by Symphonic, our affiliates and/or their respective agents and trusted partners (individually and collectively, the “Company”). When used herein, the terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the Company. When this Privacy Policy uses the term “Personal Information,” we mean information that relates to you and can be used to identify you as an individual. Personal Information does not include information or data that has been aggregated or made anonymous such that you can no longer be personally identified using any means reasonably available to us.

We may use Internet cookies to save information regarding your Site preferences, the pages of the Site viewed by you, and the advertisements viewed or clicked by you. This enables us to recognize you when you revisit the Site and to customize your Site experience. Internet cookies are stored on your hard drive and are not stored, in any form, by the Company. You may decline the Internet cookies by using the appropriate feature of your web browser, if available.

We may also use web beacons and similar technologies to automatically collect and save information as you browse our Sites, such as connection information (including the domain name and Internet Service Provider), browser type and version, mobile device ID, cell phone carrier, operating system and device type, traffic to and from the websites, the Internet Protocol (IP) address you use to connect to the Internet and other standard weblog information. Such information is sometimes referred to as web analytics and/or clickstream data. This information is used to make our Sites easier to use, improve our advertising and to provide you with a more personal and convenient experience.

We do not currently use your Personal Information in such a way that automated decisions are made about you without any human input.

3. Sharing of Personal Information Collected.

We may disclose your Personal Information to third parties in order to operate, maintain and improve the Site and to provide you with your requested services and process your requested transactions. For example, we partner with Songtrust® to provide certain publishing administration services. If you sign up for our publishing administration service, your Personal Information will be shared with Songtrust and use of such Personal Information by Songtrust will be subject to Songtrust’s privacy policy: https://www.songtrust.com/privacy/. We do not make any representations in regard to, and will not be responsible for, the privacy practices of any third party, including, but not limited to those of Songtrust or any other third party with whom we may share your Personal Information for business purposes.

To help protect you and others, we also use the information we collect, including Personal Information, to identify fraudulent activities and transactions; prevent abuse of and investigate and/or seek prosecution for any potential threats to, or misuse of, the Sites; to ensure compliance with applicable agreements between you and the Company; to investigate violations of, or enforce our agreements; and to otherwise to protect our rights and property. We may disclose your Personal Information if necessary to detect, limit or prevent fraud or security issues, to protect our rights, property and safety or those of our employees or partners, or if required by applicable law or to respond to legal process or a request for cooperation by a government entity or law enforcement.

In the event that we purchase, sell, transfer or acquire all or a substantial portion of a business or its assets, such as in connection with a merger, acquisition or in the event of a bankruptcy reorganization or liquidation, then we may also disclose or share your Personal Information in connection with such transaction. Any recipient of information in connection with any such transaction will be required to comply with reasonable confidentiality restrictions with respect to your Personal Information.

We will not rent or sell share your Personal Information to third parties for marketing or advertising purposes without your prior consent.

4. Links to Third-Party Websites.

We may display links to third party websites, including social media sites that we do not own or operate. We provide links to these third-party sites as a convenience to you.

The linked sites and services are subject to their separate and independent privacy statements, notices, and terms. Please read their privacy policies carefully to find out how they collect and process your Personal Information prior to submitting any Personal Information via those third-party websites. The collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information will be subject to the privacy policies of the third party and not this Policy. We cannot control or be held responsible for the data collection, privacy, and information sharing policies and procedures or content of third-parties.

5. Data Retention, Transfer and Security.

The security of all Personal Information provided to the Company is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Information submitted to us, both during transmission and after receipt, including against unauthorized or unlawful access and accidental loss, destruction or damage. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or storage of information can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
