With whom information is shared

Public Information

"Music Playground" may share as it sees fit information that you voluntarily make public, including information that you post on any blogs, message boards, chat rooms or other similar forums, whether or not such forums are owned by "Music Playground". Since such public information can be accessed by the public and used by any member of the public, such use by third parties is beyond the control of "Music Playground".

Personal Information

If we have your express consent, "Music Playground" may share your personal information that it collects with business partners, and other third parties that are not affiliated with "Music Playground". Note that if you sign up for service from one of our affiliates, we may ask for your consent to share with such third party partner certain of your personal information. While "Music Playground" is not responsible for the acts of such partners, we encourage all of our partners to adopt privacy policies that protect against the disclosure of personal information to third persons.
"Music Playground" may disclose your personal information without asking for your consent in order to protect the legal rights of "Music Playground" or its affiliates, and each of their respective investors, directors, officers, employees, agents, and suppliers; to protect the safety and security of users of the "Music Playground" Services or to enforce our Terms of Use; to protect against fraud or for risk management purposes; or to comply with or respond to the law or legal process or a request for cooperation by a government entity, whether or not legally required. If you notify us that you believe your legal rights have been violated by "Music Playground" or another user of the "Music Playground" Services, we may provide the information that you provide to us to others to the extent that we believe it is necessary to evaluate and respond to your complaint. For instance, if you submit a notice of copyright infringement to us, we may send a copy to the person or entity who uploaded, stored, or transmitted the material addressed by the communication.

We require these companies to agree that they will only use personal information about you that they have obtained from us to provide us with specific services that we have requested and not for any other purpose.

Non-Personal Information and Aggregate Data

"Music Playground" may share with third parties your personal information and related aggregated data. For example, "Music Playground" may share IP addresses of its users to provide anonymous aggregated data to business partners about the volume of use on the "Music Playground" Services and the specific "Music Playground" Services in which users are most interested. Because this form of data does not identify particular users, these third parties will not be able to contact you based solely on this data.

Change of Control

If "Music Playground" sells all or part of its business, or makes a sale or transfer of assets, or is otherwise involved in a merger or business transfer, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy, "Music Playground" may transfer your personal information and non-personal information to one or more third parties as part of such transaction.
