This privacy statement discloses the type of information we capture about our customers, how we use it to communicate with our customers, and how you can request to no longer receive communications from Rethink Music.

Information and Use

Two primary types of information are gathered:

1. Financial Information is payment information used for or gathered during a registration process and includes, but is not limited to, credit card numbers, financial institutions, and expiration dates. This information is not used for any purpose other than that for which it is being provided to us, and is used only to the extent necessary for processing the transaction or to facilitate future transactions.
2. Professional Information includes, but is not limited to, name, address, company name, company address, phone number, fax number, and email address, as well as questions answered on survey or registration forms.

Professional information may be, upon the consent of Rethink Music, shared on a need basis with other organizations for the purpose of facilitating business relationships.  Rethink Music may also have to disclose Professional Information to comply with applicable law and/or court injunction, and to compel respect of rights, property and safety.
