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.
