EMI Music Italy S.p.A. (hereafter "EMI") is aware of the delicate issue of the privacy of all visitors to its websites and, in general, does not automatically collect personal data about the visitors to its websites. EMI records the e-mail addresses and other personal data allowing the identification of visitors only if said data is provided on a voluntary basis by said visitors.
 
Registration of your personal information
On connection, EMI’s internet servers automatically record a series of items of general information regarding visitors (eg. type of browser used, type of operating system used and the domain name of the visitor’s service provider). This information is basically used for internal audits of the number of site visitors, but only in aggregate form, without the possibility that individuals may be identified. This information may also be transmitted to third parties for marketing, promotion and other activities. Information permitting individual persons to be identified may be collected by EMI only in the event that visitors to the website intentionally submit forms to register for a competition, subscribe to a newsletter/artist information service or who take part in other forms of promotional initiative. Said personal information is recorded and retained by EMI, which will not sell or in any other way transfer it to subjects outside the company, unless explicit consent to act in this way has first been obtained or in specific cases in which the presentation of said data is required by law, court order or government provision. This information will be used by EMI for internal promotion and marketing purposes, as well as to gain a better understanding of how visitors use its websites and to support related promotional initiatives, as well as to offer users a broader entertainment offering during online sessions. If said information is transmitted by EMI to third parties for marketing, promotional or other purposes, EMI will process said information in such a way as to make it impossible to identify individual users. Sometimes EMI uses voluntarily provided e-mail addresses and other information which allows individual users to be identified in order to contact the visitors to its websites. For example, this may include the sending of e-mail messages to visitors who provide their own e-mail addresses for particular reasons, such as receiving e-mail newsletters/reports or advice that users have won competitions organised by us. All e-mail newsletters/reports contain instructions on how to be removed from the mailing list. Users are advised that if they voluntarily disclose their personal information (eg: username, e-mail address, telephone number) in newsletters or chat areas, this information could be collected and used illegitimately by third parties, with the risk of receiving unsolicited messages from third parties. EMI declines all responsibility as regards the actions or policies of third parties who collect information disclosed by users in chat areas.
