Adams Communications Inc., (content) in association with Chewingthesun (design and programming) produces the Official Website of Bryan Adams (the "Website").
We are committed to safeguarding your privacy online. This Privacy Policy is applicable to this Website only. By visiting our website, you consent to and accept the terms of this Privacy Policy.
General
You can visit and enjoy the Website without disclosing any personal
information about yourself. Your information, including but not limited to, your name, email address, phone number, credit card information, IP address, date of birth, and physical address are considered your �Personal Information� at BRYANADAMS.COM. However, we offer some special services, and for
these services to work properly we will need you to share with us certain
personal information about yourself. The personal information we collect may
include, but is not limited to, first and last name, street address, e-mail
address, telephone number (e.g., home, work, mobile and/or fax), and date of
birth. We may also collect other personal information that will be
identified on the applicable page(s) of the Website. If you submit any
personal information to us, or to our third party service providers acting
on our behalf, you can be assured that we will not sell, lease, or share
your personal information with or to anyone else, except as follows:
(1) to our third party service providers, and only so that they may help us provide
the services you've requested and in certain circumstances to provide you
with ticket related offers;
(2) upon notice posted on an applicable location of our Website where we collect your personal information for an economic transaction and notify you that we will be sharing such information with a third party, where such third party is clearly identified; and
(3) on occasion, we may offer a special promotion (such as a sweepstakes, contest
or a free subscription to goods and services) on the Website in conjunction
with a third party service provider, sponsor, or promotional partner, and
share your information with that third party service provider, sponsor, or
promotional partner so that it can send you other special promotions it
offers, but only if you give us permission to do so.
Special Offers and Promotions.
With your permission, we may also send you e-mails and text messages with special offers and promotions. If you don't want to receive these, you may change your preferences.
Cookies. To help us serve you better, we collect information that does not
identify you personally, but rather identifies your computer or browser.
This is done by using little files called "cookies" and by tracking IP
addresses. A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an
anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your browser from a Website's
computers and stored on your computer's hard drive. Cookies operate in the
background, and you can turn them off if you wish, but doing so may impair
your ability to use some of the features on the Website. We may use cookies
to make the Website work better by, for example, keeping track of your login
name, password and, if you want to buy things while on the Website, the
"shopping cart." We may also allow other companies that are presenting
advertisements or providing services on our pages to set and access cookies
on your computer. Those companies' use of cookies will be covered by their
own privacy policies, not ours. Specifically, we use a third-party
advertising company to serve ads when you visit certain pages of the
Website. This company may use aggregated information (not including your
name, address, e-mail address or telephone number) about your visits to the
Website in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of
interest to you. If you would like more information about the information
collection practices of this third-party advertising company, click here. If
you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a
simple procedure in most browsers that allows the user to accept or reject
cookies. If you set your browser not to accept cookies, you may not be able
to take advantage of certain services on the Website. We may also use IP
addresses to analyze trends, help us administer the Website, track the
movement of visitors, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate
use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Aggregated Demographic Information.
We may share aggregated demographic
information with third parties, but this information is not linked to any
personal information that can identify you or another individual person.
Therefore, no personal information is disclosed in this manner.
Business Transfers.
As time passes, the Website may be sold along with other
assets, or other transactions may occur in which customer information is one
of the business assets transferred. In such a case, the customer information
which we have gathered may be one of the business assets we transfer. If BRYANADAMS.COM should cease to operate independently for whatever reason, or be acquired by a third party, merge with a third party, sell all or part of our assets, license all or part of our assets including your Personal Information or otherwise transfer substantially all of our relevant assets to a third party, we are entitled to transfer the Personal Information and all other information you have provided through our websites, Products and Services to potential and subsequent business, sales, licensing and merger partners.
Disclosure for Legal Purposes.
The law requires that we may be required to
share your personal information and non-personal information (see "Cookies"
section above for examples of non-personal information) pursuant to judicial
or governmental subpoenas, warrants or orders. If required to do so by law, act in good faith, or comply with any action served on us, or to protect and defend the rights and our property, or to protect and defend the integrity of our Products and Services, we may disclose your Personal Information. In addition, notwithstanding any term to
the contrary in this Privacy Policy, we reserve the right to use and
disclose share your personal and non-personal information in order to
investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected
fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any
person, violations of this Website's Terms of Service, or as otherwise
required by law. If you are found to have cheated or attempted to defraud BRYANADAMS.COM, or if we suspect you of any other fraudulent activity while using our Products and Services, at our sole determination, we reserve the right to share this information (together with your identity) with other online sites offering related products or services, banks, credit card companies, and appropriate agencies.
Our Security Practices
Your preferences are password protected for your
privacy and security. In certain areas, we use industry-standard SSL
encryption to protect data transmissions.
How You Can Review Your Personal Information
If you want to review your
personal information, you can revise your preferences. Your preferences
include your shipping, payment and account information, as well as whether
you want to receive communications from us. If you want to close your
account with us and have us delete the personal information in it (except
for information that we keep for record-keeping purposes), you should
contact our Privacy Administrator.
Choice
Our registration and order forms contain a box for you to indicate
whether or not you consent to receive special offers and promotions from us.
Unless you give us your consent to use your personal information for these
purposes, we and our partners will only use it to complete the transaction
or provide the service or product you have requested. If you indicate that
you consent to receive communications or solicitations, but you later change
your mind, you can revise your preferences.
Warranty
Our Products and Services operate �AS-IS� and �AS-AVAILABLE�, without liability of any kind. We are not responsible for events beyond our direct control. Because of the complex and constantly changing nature of our technology and business, we cannot guarantee nor do we represent that there will be error-free performance regarding the privacy of your Personal Information and any collection of it, and we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages relating to the use or release of the Personal Information.
Links
The Website may contain links to other sites produced by BRYANADAMS.COM and
websites operated by unrelated third parties. Please note that we are not
responsible for the privacy practices of third party websites. We encourage
you to be aware of this when you leave the Website and to read the privacy
policies of every website that collects personally identifiable information
from you. The Privacy Policy applies only to this Website. BRYANADAMS.COM cannot ensure the protection or integrity of any information whatsoever that you provide to a third party that links or transfer to or from our Products and Services or any information collected by any third party administering any affiliate program or any other program, since these third party online sites are owned and operated independently of BRYANADAMS.COM. Any information collected by those parties is governed solely by their policies. We encourage you to read their policies if you have concerns about their use of any information you provide them. We assume no responsibility or liability for the practices, actions or policies of such third parties, and are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such third parties.
Special Rules For Children
Because of federal law, we cannot collect any
personal information from a child under the age of thirteen without the
consent of that child's parent. The statements in this Privacy Policy
generally about our collection and use of personal information also apply to
our treatment of personal information from children under the age of
thirteen, with the added protection of the special rules that follow.
Parental Consent
Some services on the Website require the submission of a
credit card number along with personal information, and are therefore not
available to children. Other services on the Website may not be available to
children under the age of thirteen. For services that are available to
children under the age of thirteen, if a child under the age of thirteen
attempts to complete any registration form on the Website a screen will
appear that says "Get Your Mom or Dad." We will then instruct the child to
have a parent complete the registration form, either in person or by e-mail.
We will provide the parent with a notice describing the Privacy Policy and
will ask for the parent's consent to our collection and use of personal
information from or about their child. The parent will also be asked to
submit a credit card number (the card will not be charged) for verification
purposes only. If the registration form is not completed with a credit card
number to verify parental consent, the child will not be able to access
those of our activities requiring registration and we will not collect any
personal information from that child. Failure to complete the registration
form will also prevent the child from entering chat rooms or otherwise
making personal information available to the public on the Website. A parent
has the option to consent to the collection and use of their child's
personal information without consenting to the disclosure of that
information to third parties, but if such disclosure is necessary to make
available a service which has been requested, then the child will not have
access to such service.
Information Collected
Depending on the special service requested, personal
information collected may include a name, e-mail address, telephone number
(e.g., home, mobile and/or fax), address or age of a child. We will not
condition a child's participation in any activity on the Website on the
child's disclosing more information than is reasonably necessary to
participate in that activity. A parent can review his or her child's
personal information by accessing the child's preferences. A parent can
instruct us to delete the child's personal information or to stop collecting
or using the child's personal information by contacting the Privacy
Administrator.
Information Use
We may use the personal information to provide the child
with the special services for which he or she has registered, as well as for
fulfilling a requested transaction, record keeping, marketing back to the
child or making it publicly available through a chat room. (Please note that
when anyone, including a child, uses a message board or chat room on the
Website, the communications are publicly available to the other
participants.)
Information Disclosure
After obtaining the consent of the parent, we, and
our service providers will maintain the confidentiality, security, and
integrity of the personal information collected about their child. A child's
information will only be disclosed to our third party service providers as
described in this Privacy Policy. They cannot use your child's personal
information without your consent for any purpose other than the service you
have requested on behalf of your child.

Notification of Changes
If we decide to make an important change to our
Privacy Policy, we will post a notification and link on our homepage so that
you can review the updated policy. If at any point we wish to use your
personal information in a manner different from that stated at the time it
was collected, we will notify you by means of an e-mail and give you the
opportunity to indicate whether you consent to the proposed use.
Consent
By accessing or downloading our Products and Services or by continued use of our website following the posting of this Privacy Policy (as applicable) you agree to this Privacy Policy. This is our entire Privacy Policy and it supersedes any earlier version. We may periodically make changes to this Privacy Policy but this Privacy Policy does not represent a commitment or obligation on the part of BRYANADAMS.COM to contact you when any changes are made, aside from posting the updated Privacy Policy on our website. We encourage you to regularly check our Privacy Policy online.
