DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Absent your prior consent, 4RingTones.org does not share your
personal information with any unrelated third parties. Additionally,
4RingTones.org does not permit unrelated third parties to perform
"reverse searches" whereby they could identify users from
email addresses. 4RingTones.org does, however, share some of
your personal information with its affiliates, and you authorize
4RingTones.org and its affiliates to use your personal information
in connection with electronic communications to you, including,
without limitation, email, text messaging, SMS, MMS, WAP, BREW and
other means of mobile content delivery, and off-line offerings or
campaigns. In addition, the following describes some of the ways
that your personal information may be disclosed in the normal scope
of business to provide you with the Services:
Advertisers. 4RingTones.org may aggregate personal information
and disclose such information in a non-personally identifiable manner
to advertisers and other third parties for their marketing and promotional
purposes. However, in these situations, 4RingTones.org does
not disclose to these entities any information that could be used
to identify you personally without your explicit consent.
External Service Providers. There are a number of separate services
offered by third parties that 4RingTones.org refers to as external
service providers that may be complementary to your use of 4RingTones.org
or the Services. If you choose to use these separate services, disclose
information to the external service providers, and/or grant them
permission to collect information about you, then their use of your
information is governed by their privacy policy. With your consent,
and for your convenience, 4RingTones.org may provide some of
your personal information to an external service provider offering
such services. To prevent 4RingTones.org's disclosure of your
personally identifiable information to an external service provider,
you can decline such consent or simply not use their services. Because
4RingTones.org does not control the privacy practices of these
third parties, you should evaluate their practices before deciding
to use their services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 4RingTones.org may disclose your personal information to your mobile device
service provider to secure collection of fees. Outside the transaction
chain noted in this Privacy Policy, 4RingTones.org does not
disclose your personally identifiable information to external service
providers unless you provide consent.
Internal Service Providers. 4RingTones.org may use third parties
that 4RingTones.org refers to as internal service providers
to facilitate or outsource one or more aspects of 4RingTones.org's business, products and Services that 4RingTones.org provides
to you and, therefore, 4RingTones.org may provide some of your
personal information directly to these internal service providers
(e.g. customer care, third party billing). In some instances, the
internal service provider may collect information directly from
you. If you provide additional information to an internal service
provider directly, then their use of your personally identifiable
information is governed by their applicable privacy policy. Outside
the transaction chain noted in this Privacy Policy, 4RingTones.org does not disclose your personally identifiable information
to internal service providers unless you provide consent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, 4RingTones.org reserves the right,
and you authorize 4RingTones.org, to share or disclose your
personal information, including, without limitation, any content,
records or electronic communications of any kind, when 4RingTones.org determines, in its sole discretion, that the disclosure of
your personally identifiable information is necessary to identify
or contact you or to bring legal action against you if:
you are or may be violating the User Agreement, this Privacy Policy
or any applicable Rules;
you are interfering with 4RingTones.org's or a third party's
rights or property;
you are violating any applicable law, rule or regulation;
necessary or required by any applicable law, rule or regulation;
and/or
requested by governmental authorities in the event of any investigation,
act of terrorism or instance of local, regional or national emergency.
In addition, 4RingTones.org cannot ensure that all of your private
communications and other personal information will never be disclosed
in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of
example, without limiting the foregoing, 4RingTones.org may
be forced to disclose personal information to the government or
third parties under certain circumstances or third parties may unlawfully
intercept or access your transmissions or communications. Therefore,
although 4RingTones.org uses industry standard practices to
protect your privacy, 4RingTones.org does not promise, and you
should not expect, that your personally identifiable information
or private communications will always remain private. Also, in the
event of a merger, acquisition, or change of control of 4RingTones.org, personal information collected by 4RingTones.org about
you will be considered a business asset and will be transferred
to the applicable new entity.
