Muzigle does not use your personal information for purposes incompatible with those listed above. Muzigle 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 and services, such as content subscription products or products distributed by third parties, may require the provision of personal information to a third party, such as a content provider or distributor. 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, and Muzigle' use is governed by this 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, Muzigle 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. In such cases, Muzigle may provide content usage, access, demographic and other information without your personally identifiable information (your name, billing information, email address) to the content provider.
Muzigle may disclose relevant information about our customers to our contractors (e.g. a customer service contractor or a credit card clearing service) in order for them to provide specific services for Muzigle, and to better serve our customers. Muzigle' contractors are bound by strict contractual requirements to keep all personal information they process strictly confidential and to use such information solely on behalf of Muzigle.

Muzigle websites, products and services contain links to other websites, and products and services. Because Muzigle does not manage such third party websites, products and services, they are not governed by this privacy policy. Muzigle is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Websites or products. Please visit the privacy policies of these third party sites in order to understand their privacy policies and data collection practices.
Obligatory or Optional Nature of the Requested Information
Some of the personal information collected by Muzigle is necessary to provide you with the Muzigle product or service you choose and to optimize the delivery of audio and video data to your computer. Muzigle software may include the opportunity to disable certain software features to increase your level of privacy. However, certain technical information (e.g. zip code, product id, GUID) may be automatically transmitted between networked servers to authenticate access to products and services, enable their delivery, or optimize your media delivery experience.
Registering for a product or service allows you to tell us how or whether you want Muzigle to communicate with you. Generally, we send e-mail to you about our products, content and special offers.

During registration, you may opt out of receiving Muzigle marketing e-mails and/or newsletters for the relevant product or service. Additionally, your online Muzigle account, accessed through the "My Account" link on www.muzigle.com, and through other links provided in emails and on Muzigle Web pages, enables you to select whether you wish to receive newsletters, marketing and promotional emails, special offers and the like from various Muzigle's business lines. However, we may continue to send you e-mail about products or services you have previously purchased (such as an available upgrade that you are entitled to receive), your account status or other information concerning functions, features and status of your Muzigle products and services, or to inform you about critical technical service issues relating to a Muzigle product or service.
