DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Absent your prior consent, TonesToPhone.com does not share your personal information
with any unrelated third parties. Additionally, TonesToPhone.com does not permit
unrelated third parties to perform "reverse searches" whereby
they could identify users from email addresses. TonesToPhone.com does, however,
share some of your personal information with its affiliates, and you authorize
TonesToPhone.com and its affiliates to use your personal information in connection
with electronic communications to you, including, without limitation,
email, text messaging, SMS, MMS, WAP, BREW and other means of mobile content
delivery, and off-line offerings or campaigns. In addition, the following
describes some of the ways that your personal information may be disclosed
in the normal scope of business to provide you with the Services:
Advertisers. TonesToPhone.com may aggregate personal information and disclose such
information in a non-personally identifiable manner to advertisers and
other third parties for their marketing and promotional purposes. However,
in these situations, TonesToPhone.com does not disclose to these entities any information
that could be used to identify you personally without your explicit consent.
External Service Providers. There are a number of separate services offered
by third parties that TonesToPhone.com refers to as external service providers that
may be complementary to your use of TonesToPhone.com or the Services. If you
choose to use these separate services, disclose information to the external
service providers, and/or grant them permission to collect information
about you, then their use of your information is governed by their privacy
policy. With your consent, and for your convenience, TonesToPhone.com may provide
some of your personal information to an external service provider offering
such services. To prevent TonesToPhone.com's disclosure of your personally identifiable
information to an external service provider, you can decline such consent
or simply not use their services. Because TonesToPhone.com does not control the
privacy practices of these third parties, you should evaluate their practices
before deciding to use their services. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
TonesToPhone.com may disclose your personal information to your mobile device service
provider to secure collection of fees. Outside the transaction chain noted
in this Privacy Policy, TonesToPhone.com does not disclose your personally identifiable
information to external service providers unless you provide consent.
Internal Service Providers. TonesToPhone.com may use third parties that TonesToPhone.com refers
to as internal service providers to facilitate or outsource one or more
aspects of TonesToPhone.com's business, products and Services that TonesToPhone.com provides
to you and, therefore, TonesToPhone.com may provide some of your personal information
directly to these internal service providers (e.g. customer care, third
party billing). In some instances, the internal service provider may collect
information directly from you. If you provide additional information to
an internal service provider directly, then their use of your personally
identifiable information is governed by their applicable privacy policy.
Outside the transaction chain noted in this Privacy Policy, TonesToPhone.com does
not disclose your personally identifiable information to internal service
providers unless you provide consent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, TonesToPhone.com reserves the right, and you authorize
TonesToPhone.com, to share or disclose your personal information, including, without
limitation, any content, records or electronic communications of any kind,
when TonesToPhone.com determines, in its sole discretion, that the disclosure of
your personally identifiable information is necessary to identify or contact
you or to bring legal action against you if:
you are or may be violating the User Agreement, this Privacy Policy or
any applicable Rules;
you are interfering with TonesToPhone.com's or a third party's rights or property;
you are violating any applicable law, rule or regulation;
necessary or required by any applicable law, rule or regulation; and/or
requested by governmental authorities in the event of any investigation,
act of terrorism or instance of local, regional or national emergency.
In addition, TonesToPhone.com cannot ensure that all of your private communications
and other personal information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise
described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example, without limiting
the foregoing, TonesToPhone.com may be forced to disclose personal information to
the government or third parties under certain circumstances or third parties
may unlawfully intercept or access your transmissions or communications.
Therefore, although TonesToPhone.com uses industry standard practices to protect
your privacy, TonesToPhone.com does not promise, and you should not expect, that
your personally identifiable information or private communications will
always remain private. Also, in the event of a merger, acquisition, or
change of control of TonesToPhone.com, personal information collected by TonesToPhone.com
about you will be considered a business asset and will be transferred
to the applicable new entity.
