Choices for personal information
When you sign up for a particular service that requires registration,
we ask you to provide personal information. If we use this information
in a manner different than the purpose for which it was collected,
then we will ask for your consent prior to such use.
If we propose to use personal information for any purposes other
than those described in this Policy and/or in the specific service
notices, we will offer you an effective way to opt out of the
use of personal information for those other purposes. We will
not collect or use sensitive information for purposes other than
those described in this Policy and/or in the specific service
notices, unless we have obtained your prior consent.
You can decline to submit personal information to any of our services,
in which case Radio Image Maker may not be able to provide those
services to you.
Information sharing
Radio Image Maker only shares personal information with other
companies or individuals outside of Radio Image Maker in the following
limited circumstances:
¥ We have your consent. We require opt-in consent for the sharing
of any sensitive personal information.
¥ We provide such information to our subsidiaries, affiliated
companies or other trusted businesses or persons for the purpose
of processing personal information on our behalf. We require
that these parties agree to process such information based on
our instructions and in compliance with this Policy and any
other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
¥ We have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation
or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to
(a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or
enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce applicable Terms
of Service, including investigation of potential violations
thereof, (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security
or technical issues, or (d) protect against imminent harm to
the rights, property or safety of Radio Image Maker, its users
or the public as required or permitted by law.
If Radio Image Maker becomes involved in a merger, acquisition,
or any form of sale of some or all of its assets, we will provide
notice before personal information is transferred and becomes
subject to a different privacy policy.
We may share with third parties certain pieces of aggregated,
non-personal information, such as the number of users who searched
for a particular term, for example, or how many users clicked
on a particular advertisement. Such information does not identify
you individually.
Please contact us at the address below for any additional questions
about the management or use of personal data.
Information security
We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized
access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction
of data. These include internal reviews of our data collection,
storage and processing practices and security measures, as well
as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access
to systems where we store personal data.
We restrict access to personal information to Radio Image Maker
employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information
in order to operate, develop or improve our services. These individuals
are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to
discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if
they fail to meet these obligations.
Data integrity
Radio Image Maker processes personal information only for the
purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with this
Policy or any applicable service-specific privacy notice. We review
our data collection, storage and processing practices to ensure
that we only collect, store and process the personal information
needed to provide or improve our services. We take reasonable
steps to ensure that the personal information we process is accurate,
complete, and current, but we depend on our users to update or
correct their personal information whenever necessary.
Accessing and updating personal information
When you use Radio Image Maker services, we make good faith efforts
to provide you with access to your personal information and either
to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data
at your request if it is not otherwise required to be retained
by law or for legitimate business purposes. We ask individual
users to identify themselves and the information requested to
be accessed, corrected or removed before processing such requests,
and we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive
or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize
the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for
instance, requests concerning information residing on backup tapes),
or for which access is not otherwise required. In any case where
we provide information access and correction, we perform this
service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate
effort. Some of our services have different procedures to access,
correct or delete users' personal information. We provide the
details for these procedures in the specific privacy notices or
FAQs for these services.
