Privacy and Security PolicyrVibe's privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") addresses rVibe's collection and use of any User Information (as defined herein) that rVibe gathers when You interact with rVibe, including information gathered when You visit the rVibe Website, You register with rVibe and purchase Digital Music Files through the rVibe Service as described in the End User License Agreement or You interact with rVibe support. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning described thereto in the Terms of Use. Your privacy is important to us at rVibe. rVibe is committed to tailoring content to match the individual needs of our Visitors and Members, but we also recognize the importance of protecting the User Information, including any Registration Data (as defined herein), we may collect about You. rVibe has developed this Privacy Policy in an attempt to balance our legitimate business interests in collecting and using information with Your reasonable expectations of privacy for Your personal information provided to us when visiting our website and/or subscribing to our rVibe Service. Please review the entire policy to learn about what type of User Information rVibe gathers about You, how rVibe uses the User Information, what User Information is disclosed and to what third-parties and how rVibe safeguards Your User Information. Of course, feel free to contact us if you have any questions. This Privacy Policy may change from time to time so please check back periodically so you are familiar with our current Privacy Policy. rVibe's Collection of User Information:rVibe collects user information ("User Information") in various ways, including (i) obtaining Registration Data (e.g. name, e-mail address, mailing address, credit card information, industry, occupation or other personally identifiable information) that You supply when subscribing to membership of our rVibe Service through the rVibe Website and other personally identifiable information that You provide when you request information from rVibe, discuss a service issue over the telephone with a rVibe employee, participate in on-line surveys, download the rVibe Application or a rVibe Application update or purchase other products or services from rVibe, make Playlists available to other Members through the rVibe Service or complete a Member Profile for viewing by other Members of the rVibe Service, and (ii) obtaining preference tracking information from our use of "cookies" and other technology and other aggregate activity logging ("Movement User Information"). When You register with the rVibe Service, rVibe allows You to create a unique account ("rVibe Account") or End User ID and individual password based upon Your personally identifiable information. rVibe's system will save Your User Information and use it to help identify You the next time that You log into the rVibe Service. The End User ID is intended to save You time and provide You with easier access to the rVibe Service for purchasing the Digital Music Files and other products and services. rVibe also enables You to send e-mails via your End User ID to other Members and potential Members to share with them information about the rVibe Website and rVibe Service and the Playlists that You make available through the rVibe Service. To fulfill Your request, rVibe may require personally identifiable information about the person to whom You are sending the e-mail such as their name and e-mail address; however, the personally identifiable information that You provide about that person is used only for the purpose for which it is collected and rVibe will not use that information to market directly to that person other than what will already be presented via the text of the e-mail that is initiated by You. rVibe will, however, use software and other tools to track the frequency of activity of the messaging and quantify for its marketing and other business purposes the responses to these messages by potential Members (i.e. whether the potential Member has decided to register with the rVibe Service). If You use any bulletin board or chat room offered through the rVibe Service, make a Playlist available to other Members through the rVibe Service or post a Member Profile at the rVibe Service available for viewing by other Members, please note that any of the information that You share will obviously be visible to other Members and the information that You make available through a bulletin board or chat room or Your Member Profile can be read, used and collected by other Members to send You unsolicited messages outside of the rVibe Service. rVibe is not responsible for how the personally identifiable information that You decide to share will be used by other Members. As is regular practice on many company websites, rVibe's Website uses "cookies" and other technologies to help us understand which parts of our rVibe Website are more popular and how much time our visitors spend there. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to Your browser from a web server and is stored on Your computer's hard drive. Cookies allow You to enter your password less frequently during an online session. We may use a separate cookie to track each site's aggregated page views, which tells us which features are most interesting to our subscribers. The cookies that our rVibe Website uses do not store personally identifying information about You. Since cookies are now used as industry standard, most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but You can usually change Your browser to decline cookies. Our rVibe Website logs IP addresses and browser types (primarily for systems administration purposes), but we do not match IP addresses to any personally identifiable information. This means that your rVibe Website session will be tracked, but You can remain anonymous in the public areas of our rVibe Website. You can browse those areas of our rVibe Website without entering any personally identifiable information and therefore remain anonymous during Your visit. If you prefer not to enable cookies, You may choose to disable them; however please note that certain features on the rVibe Website will not be available to You once cookies are disabled. Once You are a Member of the rVibe Service and have downloaded the rVibe Application, rVibe will tie Your IP address to Your User ID so that we can action Retransmissions (as defined in the End User License Agreement) from You and communicate with You. For instance, when a Member browses a Playlist that You have made available through the rVibe Service or Your Member Profile, such Member is browsing this information from rVibe's central server and not Your personal computer or other hardware; however, when a Member wishes to Retransmit a Digital Music Files from You based upon the music on the Playlist that You have made available through the rVibe Service, the rVibe Application will cause rVibe's central server to open a temporary port to Your personal computer or other hardware so that the Digital Music File residing on Your personal computer or other hardware may be Retransmitted to the other Member. Other than the particular Digital Music Files on the Playlist that You have made available to other Members through the rVibe Service, rVibe's Application will not at any time expose any files or personal information on Your personal computer or other hardware to rVibe or other third-parties or otherwise enable rVibe or any other third-party to have direct access to any of the files or personal information on Your personal computer or other hardware. We also gather certain use information automatically and store it in our log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, clickstream data, operating system and date/time stamp. We may use this information to administer the rVibe Website, track movements around the rVibe Website, analyze trends and gather demographic information. The information does not identify individual End Users and rVibe will not use any of the information to market directly to that End User. Further, in some of our e-mail messages, we use a "click-through URL" linked to content on the rVibe Website. When a user clicks onto one of these ORLs, the user will pass through our Web server before arising at the destination web page. We track this click-through data to help us to determine Member interest in this subject matter and measure the effectiveness of these Member communications. You can avoid not to be tracked simply by not clicking text or graphic links in the e-mail. Finally, we may use pixel tags, which are tiny graphic images, in order: (i) to advise us of what parts of our rVibe Website End Users have visited, (ii) to measure the effectiveness of any searches that End Users perform on our rVibe Website and (iii) to enable us to send e-mails in a format that End Users can read and tell us whether e-mails have been opened in order to ensure us that we are sending messages to our End Users that are of interest to our End Users. rVibe's Website contains links to other web sites. We encourage you to visit those web sites to learn more about their online privacy as they may differ from this Privacy Policy. rVibe does not control the privacy policies of other sites to which we may provide hyperlinks.

The User Information that rVibe collects from cookies and browser identification provides demographic data about our Members in the aggregate that we use to improve our service and tailor our offerings. Personally identifiable information included in User Information, including any Registration Data, may also be used for marketing and promotional purposes, for a statistical analysis of users' behavior, for product development, for content improvement, or to customize the content and layout of our rVibe Website.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we take steps to protect your information, rVibe can't ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and You do so entirely at Your own risk.
