Why We Collect Information

RFC collects information to assist us in delivering a superior level of product. We collect information to gain a better understanding or our customers and their needs and thus provide more valuable services. This helps us to determine how best to provide useful information to customers and to understand which parts of our website and internet services are of most interest to them.

It enables us to give you convenient access to our products and services and focus on categories of greatest interest to you. In addition, your personal information helps us keep you posted on the latest product announcements, updates, special offers, promotions and events that you might like to hear about.

What Information We Collect

The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continuously improve your experience with our products and services. The types of information gathered are:

Automatic Information

The servers we use automatically collect certain non-personal identifying information, such as your computer’s IP address, the type of browser in use, pages viewed, streams viewed or listened to and when you visit our site. We use this information to understand how users navigate through our site and use our products, to enhance your experience while using our site, and to make the materials we post as valuable to visitors as possible. We do not link this information to personally identifiable information.

Information You Give Us

We receive and store any information you enter during account creation or any information you voluntarily provide us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain personally identifiable information but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the personally identifiable information that you provide to us for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing your experience, improving the product, and communicating with you.

How We Use The Information Collected

There are a number of situations in which your personal information may help us give you better service. It helps us gain a better understanding of how our products are used, including what types of content are most popular with users or our products and services. We track content accesses and downloads for the purpose of paying royalties and license fees to third party providers, such as record labels, advertisers, other copyright holders and content distributors.

When you create an account, by providing your name, email address, zip code, birth date and choose a password and password hint, (for security), the system saves your information and assigns you a personal ID. In many cases this is your email address because it is unique and easy to remember. You have the option for streaming services to “remember” you and your favorites or other preferences you have set will be available automatically, and on occasion, be transferred to third parties to automatically fill in relevant form fields and simplify the process. Howvere, once the form is submitted, then this personally identifiable information may be stored on the third party website.

If you use a message board, chat room or other means of public communication, you should be aware that any information you share is visible to other users. Personally identifiable information you post as a message to one of these forums can be read, collected, or used by other individuals to send you unsolicited messages. RFC is not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit in these forums.

Technologies Used To Collect Information

As is standard practice on many websites, RFC’s website uses cookies and other technologies to help us understand which parts of the website are most popular, where our visitors are going and how much time they spend there. We also use cookies and other technologies to make sure that our online advertising is bringing customers to our products and services. We use cookies and other technologies to make it even more rewarding as well as to study the effectiveness or our customer communications by customizing your experience each time you interact with us. For example, knowing your first name lets us welcome you with a greeting the next time you use our products.

Our advertisers help us deliver a number of useful services which are free of charge to you. Our advertisers will often employ the use of a “click through URL” linked to content on their website. When a customer clicks one of these URL’s, they pass through a web server before arriving at the destination web page. They track this click through data to help determine general interest and measure the effectiveness of customer communications.

Intended Audience

We make no representation that any service offered by RFC is operated in accordance with the laws or governed by other nations. Please be aware that any personal information you transfer to us will be transferred to the U.S. and is subject to U.S. law. We will reject or delete any personally identifiable information that we believe in good faith to be inconsistant with this Privacy Policy.

Children’s Privacy Policy

Although persons of all ages may visit our website and participate in our activities that do not require the collection of personal information, we do not knowingly or intentionally collect personal information from children under the age of 13. We will automatically reject or delete the registration or entry of any person we believe in good faith to be underage.

When We Disclose Information

RFC does not use your personal information for purposes incompatible with those listed above. RFC does not sell, rent, or share your personal information to a third party unless you consent to provide such information to a third party partner or content service.

In some cases, access to certain products or services, such as content subscription products or products distributed by third parties, may require the provision of personal information to a third party. In such cases, this will be stated during the registration process, in the terms of use, through the distribution process, or in a similar manner. The third party’s use of such information is governed by that party’s Privacy Policy. Please visit the Privacy Policy of the content partner to make sure you understand how they use the personal information you provide to them. If you do not wish for such a transfer to take place, you should not register for the applicable product or service. Additionally, RFC may be required to provide specific access and usage information to certain content providers and rights holders as a condition of content licensing and royalties.
