    • We use personal data to allow you to use the features in our website
    content, to process your registration, and to provide you with requested

    YOU MUST BE 13 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER TO REGISTER WITH OUR SITES AND
    SERVICES. PLEASE DO NOT REGISTER OR SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA WITH
    US IF YOU ARE UNDER 13 YEARS OF AGE.

    You can read our privacy notice for younger Sony Music fans here.
  4. A SPECIAL NOTE TO PARENTS & LEGAL GUARDIANS
    While we do not knowingly allow registration on our sites or services by children
    under the age of 13, parents and legal guardians should supervise their
    children’s online activities and consider using parental control tools available
    from online services and software manufacturers that help provide a childfriendly online environment. These tools can also prevent children from
    disclosing online their name, address, and other personal information without
    parental permission.
    We want to encourage younger users to understand their data privacy rights and
    develop confidence in their online choices. Our sites and services allow the user
    to set their own privacy and cookie preferences (subject to the browser’s
    parental controls, if applicable). This policy and our cookie preference centre
    explain what will happen with a user’s personal data if they change our default
    high privacy settings, but we also encourage younger users to speak to a
    responsible adult first before changing those default settings.
  5. HOW WE COLLECT YOUR DATA & WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT
    From the user:
    We may collect and process personal data relating to you that you provide to us
    by filling in forms on our sites (whether that’s our Sony Music Entertainment
    Sweden site, or our artists’ or labels’ sites, our artists’ stores, or pages relating
    to our podcast or voice activated content, or any sites dedicated to the release
    of Sony Music products or services), or by you contacting us. This includes, but
    is not limited to, information provided at the time of registering to use (or
    become a member of) any of our or our artists’ sites, subscribing to any of our
    services (such as newsletters, podcasts or voice activated content), purchasing
    downloads or other products, posting material, participating in a contest or
    opportunity, or requesting further services.
    If you contact us by email, you’ll be sharing with us your email address, name,
    and any other personal information you might include in your message.
    If you enter a Sony Music contest on social media by commenting on an artist’s
    post or posting using the contest hashtag, we will collect your username, and
    sometimes your name, in order to randomly select the winners and contact you
    via direct message if you are a winner.
    From third parties with the user’s consent:
    We may collect your personal data when you access our services, participate in a
    label or artist campaign or contest, or otherwise contact Sony Music, by using
    your account credentials from your social media accounts (such as Facebook or
    Twitter) or content streaming services (such as Spotify or YouTube), or by
    clicking “like” or “share” on such third party platforms. For example, you might
    use your Spotify credentials to participate in an artist’s pre-save contest or a
    campaign that generates a personalised playlist, or you might submit a form
    using your Facebook credentials to sign up to receive an artist’s newsletter.
    Depending on the platform, Sony Music may receive general information and
    contact information (such as, name, username, profile picture, email address,
    age, date of birth, gender, country), technical or financial information (such as
    type of computer, or type of service or chosen subscription model), and/or
    information about your actions and behaviours on the applicable platform (which
    may include frequency of use, activity, followers, date of registration, artists and
    songs most listened to and artists or pages followed or liked). We will delete on
    receipt any personal data that may be provided by the platform by default (such
    as your profile picture) which is not required by us for a legitimate purpose.
    This information will only be collected by Sony Music should you subscribe or
    engage with Sony Music or its artists or content by using the log-in credentials of
    your social media or streaming platform account, and only after you have been
    informed about the sharing of such information by way of this policy and the
    privacy notice served to you by the applicable platform setting out the
    permissions to be granted to Sony Music and how your data shall be processed
    in these cases subject to your consent to such processing.
    In addition to fulfilling the purpose(s) of your registration (such as pre-saving an
    artist’s release, signing up to an artist newsletter, or entering a contest), so that
    we may enhance your online experience, measure our audience, and provide you
    with tailored marketing content (only if you have consented to receive
    marketing, or do so at later date), Sony Music may file, organise, consult, store,
    use for profiling, and cross-compare such personal and behavioural information
    with the personal data provided by you as described above.
    At any time, you can remove Sony Music’s access permissions on your account
    and stop the applicable platform sharing with us further personal and
    behavioural data relating to your account, either by emailing Sony Music
    Entertainment Sweden at info.sweden@sonymusic.com and/or changing the
    data privacy settings on your account page on the applicable platform.
    You don’t need to share account information to enjoy Sony Music content. You
    can still sign up to an artist’s newsletter, enter a contest or join in with most
    Sony Music campaigns without sharing your account information. For example,
    you could fill in the form yourself, or pre-save the album next time you’re on
    your streaming account. However, without account information and permissions
    we won’t be able to generate certain personalised content, such as playlists
    based on your favourite songs, but you’ll still be able to enjoy the artist’s official
    playlist on your streaming service.

    From Sony Music artists’ official online stores:
    When you make a purchase from a Sony Music artist’s official store, your
    personal data (such as email, name, country, as provided by you at checkout or
    when registering an account with the store) may be shared with Sony Music.
    The store may also share certain transactional data (such as what you
    purchased, how much you spent and your billing city, but never your payment
    details) and/or information about your actions and behaviours on the store,
    which we will use for the purpose of internal analytics so that we may measure
    our audience, improve our product range and enhance the Sony Music user
    experience. We also need to keep certain transactional data for reporting and
    accounting purposes.
    Where you already receive marketing updates from Sony Music or you opt-in to
    receive marketing when checking out on the store or at a later date, we may
    undertake limited profiling by combining certain transactional and behavioural
    data (such as previous purchases and most recent billing city) with the personal
    data you provided when registering for marketing updates. We use this
    information to send you the marketing updates you’ve requested and to
    personalise that marketing content. For example, we might let you know about
    new releases you may like, or relevant artists’ shows in your city.
    By using cookies and other tracking technologies:
    In addition, we use technology on our websites, services and content to collect
    information that helps us to enhance your online experience, measure our
    audience and provide you with tailored advertising based on your behaviour on
    Sony Music’s sites and artists’ stores, and interactions with our content, and, if
    applicable, your behaviour on the aforementioned social media platforms and
    streaming services.
    We refer to this technology as “cookies” throughout this policy but this is
    intended to cover all similar technologies including web beacons, log files, pixel
    tags, gifs (also described below). We use our own and third party cookies to
    collect the information we require. For more information see “Cookies and other
    tracking technologies” below.
    Sometimes we receive information about you from third parties. For example, if
    you use a “like” or a “share” button for a feature on our sites or apps, then the
    third party platform will share information with us. If you participate in activities
    on other sites or apps, such as participating in a Facebook application, you may
    allow us to have access to personal data held by Facebook, or other site or app
    owners as applicable.
    If, at some point, we provide online services to a child under 13 years old, where
    we need parental consent for this, we may ask for a parent’s or legal guardian’s
    email address in order to ask for consent.
  6. HOW WE USE YOUR DATA

    any means authorised by you.
    When you access our services, participate in a campaign, or otherwise
    interact with Sony Music by using your social media or content
    streaming service account credentials, Sony Music may also take into
    account your behavior on the applicable platform based on the data
    shared with Sony Music by such platform with your consent. However,
    as explained in Section 5 above, such information shall only be used
    for internal analysis so as to measure our audience and enhance the
    Sony Music user experience, and to identify and create audiences for
    the applicable Sony Music artist or product, and where possible to
    send you more personalised information about the artists about which
    you have requested to receive updates. In no event shall automated
    decisions be taken which may have legal effects on the recipients or
    significantly affect them.

    content and products or the entertainment sector generally.
    v. Where you give us consent to place cookies and to use similar tracking
    technologies.

    we explain at that time.
    (d) For purposes which are required by law:
    i. Where we need parental consent to provide online services to children
    under 13, or the relevant age below which parental consent is
    required. However, our sites and apps are not generally designed for
    children under 13.

    conducting an investigation.
  7. HOW WE SHARE YOUR DATA
    Subject to the other terms of this policy, we may share your personal,
    behavioural and transactional data with the following:
    (a) Group companies – We may share your personal data with our affiliated
    or group companies worldwide, based on our legitimate interests for the
    purposes listed above. Where you give your permission via the
    registration process, we will also share your personal data with other Sony
    affiliates for them to use for direct marketing.
    (b) Artists & artists’ representatives – Where you have consented to
    receive direct marketing, we may also share your personal data with
    those artists (and their management companies) about which you have
    requested to receive updates, who may then use your personal data to
    keep you updated with information about them.
    (c) Event promoters – Where you have you have asked to receive updates
    from an event promoter, by ticking their newsletter opt-in on a Sony Music
    form, we will share your name and email address as requested by you.
    The promoter will have their own privacy policy, which we encourage you
    to read before you choose to receive marketing from them.
    (d) Co-promoters and prize providers – Where a Sony Music related
    contest is managed or co-promoted by a third party, or the prize is
    provided and/or fulfilled (in part or in full) by a third party, we will share
    each winner’s basic contact information for the purpose of managing the
    contest and fulfilling the prizes. Where a prize includes attending an
    event, each winner’s full name will also be shared with the venue or event
    promoter, and they may request to see the winner’s ID before allowing
    entry to the event. Each winner’s surname and city may also be included
    on a winners’ list if another contest entrant asks who won.
    (e) Other third parties – We may transfer or assign personal data to third
    parties in connection with the sale, merger, consolidation, change in
    control, transfer of substantial assets, reorganisation or liquidation of
    Sony Music, or any part of it.
    We may share with others, at our discretion, certain aggregate statistical
    data about purchases and the use of our content, which data may include
    demographic data such as the age range and/or geographic location of
    groups of users. No personal data (such as names or email addresses) will
    be identifiable from such statistics.
    (f) In special circumstances – We may disclose personal data in special
    cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this data is
    necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who
    may be causing injury to or interference (either intentionally or
    unintentionally) with the rights or property of Sony group companies or
    artists. Personal data may be shared with government authorities and/or
    law enforcement officials if required for the purposes above, if mandated
    by law or if required for the legal protection of our legitimate interests in
    compliance with applicable laws.
    (g) Suppliers or partners – We also share data with third parties who
    perform functions on our behalf, such as hosting or operating our sites
    and apps, sending e-mails, and carrying out data analysis.
    If you post content directly to a Sony Music site or app, or to an artist’s
    social media account, anyone may be able to see it. Particularly if you are
    under 18, we encourage you to set your social media accounts to ‘private’ so
    that only people you know can see your posts and personal information.
    When you upload your content via a Sony Music form as part of a ‘usergenerated-content’ opportunity, if we include your content in the final product
    then anyone will be able to see it. For example, we may publish an online
    gallery, or make a video for social media featuring contest winner’s videos. In

  8. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER
    The data that we collect may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination
    within the United States or some other country outside Sweden or the European
    Economic Area (“EEA”). For instance, if any of our, or any of our Swedish or EEAbased service providers’, servers from time to time are located outside Sweden
    or EEA; or if one of our service providers or suppliers is themselves located in a
    country outside Sweden or EEA; or if we share your data (in accordance with the
    ‘How we share your data’ section above).
    Where information is transferred outside the EEA, and where this is to a
    stakeholder or vendor in a country that is not subject to an adequacy decision by
    the EU Commission, data is adequately protected by EU Commission-approved
    standard contractual clauses, or a vendor’s Processor Binding Corporate Rules.
  9. COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
    What is a cookie?
    Cookies are text files containing small amounts of coded information that are
    downloaded to your device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back
    to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that
    recognises that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to
    recognise a user’s device.
    Cookies help us to improve our sites and to deliver a better and more
    personalised service, for instance by storing information about your preferences
    and allowing us to recognise you when you return to our site. You may refuse to
    accept cookies by activating settings on your internet browser, however please
    note that if you select such settings certain parts of our site may not work
    properly.
    The information we collect may include IP addresses, browser version, number
    of visits, which pages you access and your viewing preferences.
    We use the following categories of cookies on our websites, marketing content,
    advertising and services:
    Category 1: Strictly Necessary Cookies
    These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the website
    and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website. Without
    these cookies, services you have asked for, like any shopping basket items
    cannot be provided. We don’t use these cookies to gather information about you
    that could be used for profiling, advertising or remembering where you’ve been
    on the internet.
    Category 2: Performance Cookies
    These cookies collect information on how visitors use our website. For example,
    which pages visitors go to most often, and if you get error messages from web
    pages. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies you as a visitor. All
    information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is
    only used to improve how a website works.
    Category 3: Functionality Cookies
    These cookies remember choices you make such as the country you visit our
    website from, language or the region you are in. These can then be used to
    provide you with an experience more appropriate to your selections and to make
    your subsequent visits easier and more tailored to your preferences. The
    information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your
    browsing activity on other websites.
    Category 4: Targeting cookies or advertising cookies
    These cookies collect information about your browsing habits in order to make
    advertising more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit
    the number of times you see an advert as well as help measure the effectiveness
    of an advertising campaign. The cookies are usually placed by third party
    advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember
    the websites you visit, and that information is shared with other parties such as
    advertisers. This is why you might have seen adverts on your social media feed
    about something you’ve just been looking at on another website. Quite often
    targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by
    the other organisation.
    Category 5: Social Media Cookies
    These cookies allow you to share what you’ve been doing on our websites on
    social media such as Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter. These cookies are not
    within our control. This information may be linked to targeting/advertising
    activities. Please refer to the respective social media platform’s privacy policies
    for how their cookies work. Please review the applicable social media platform’s
    privacy and cookie policies to understand how their cookies work.
    Use of Web Beacons
    Some of our web pages may contain electronic images known as web beacons,
    among other things, that allow us to count users who have visited these pages.
    Web beacons collect only limited information including a cookie number, time
    and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the web page
    resides. We may also carry web beacons placed by third party advertisers. These
    beacons do not carry any personally identifiable information and are only used to
    track the effectiveness of a particular campaign.

  10. YOUR RIGHTS
    If you live in Sweden or Europe, you are entitled to exercise, freely and without
    charge, the following data protection related rights, at any time:
    (a) Wherever we rely on your consent, you will always be able to withdraw
    that consent at any time, although we may have other legal grounds for
    processing your data for other purposes, such as those set out above in
    section 6. In some cases, we are able to send you direct marketing without
    your consent, where we rely on our legitimate interests. At any time, you
    have an absolute right to opt out of direct marketing or withdraw your
    consent to Sony Music carrying out profiling for marketing purposes
    through the use of personal and behavioural data from other platforms.
    o You can do this by emailing Sony Music Entertainment Sweden AB at
    info.sweden@sonymusic.com, or clicking the unsubscribe link in the
    footer of any marketing email we send you, or by updating your
    subscriptions in the Sony Music preference centre (a link to which can
    also be found in the footer of any marketing email we send you).
    o Where you have previously used your account credentials to register
    with Sony Music and consented to certain data being shared with us,
    to stop your social media or streaming accounts sharing any more
    information with us, you will need to change your data-sharing
    preferences in the account section of each relevant platform.
    o Withdrawal of consent will not affect the legitimacy of the data
    processing based on consent given prior to the withdrawal.
    (b) You have the right to access and ask us for a copy of your personal data.
    This means at any time you may ask Sony Music to confirm whether Sony
    Music is processing your personal data, and if so, the categories of personal
    data being processed, and any other relevant information about the way
    your personal data is being processed. You may also request a copy of such
    personal data, which Sony Music will provide as long as doing so will not
    negatively affect a third party’s rights.
    (c) You have the right at any time to modify or correct the personal data Sony
    Music may hold about you if you believe the information is inaccurate or
    incomplete. You can do this by emailing info.sweden@sonymusic.com or by
    updating your information in the Sony Music preference centre (a link to
    which can be found in the footer of any marketing email we send you).
    (d) You have the right to request deletion of your personal data processed by
    Sony Music:
    o if you believe that Sony Music’s processing of your personal data is no
    longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected;
    o where your consent was the only legal basis for the data processing,
    and you have withdrawn your consent;
    o where you object to such data processing, as set out below;
    o if you believe your personal data has been processed unlawfully;
    o if your personal data must be eliminated to comply with a legal
    obligation pursuant to applicable legislation.
    However, Sony Music may deny your request for deletion if continuing to
    process the personal data is necessary (i) in order to exercise the right of
    freedom of expression and information, or (ii) for the fulfilment of a legal
    obligation, or (iii) for reasons of public interest in matters of health, or (iv)
    for statistical purposes, or (v) for the initiation of legal action, or the raising
    of and/or defence against claims.
    (e) You have the right to limit or restrict the active processing of your personal
    data (i) for as long as it may take to verify the accuracy of such personal
    data: where you have contested such accuracy, or (ii) where you object to
    the deletion of your data but you believe its processing is unlawful, or (iii)
    where you need the data in order to initiate, exercise or defend yourself
    against claims, or (iv) while Sony Music verifies the validity of the grounds
    on which you objected to your data being processed.
    (f) You have the right to request the portability of your personal data and to
    obtain the personal data you provide to us for a contract or with your
    consent in a structured, machine-readable format. This right includes the
    possibility of requesting the transfer of your data to another data controller,
    provided that this would not negatively affect the rights of third parties.
    (g) In addition, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal
    data in some circumstances (in particular, where we don’t have to process
    the data to meet a contractual or other legal requirement, or where we are
    using the data for direct or indirect marketing). Sony Music will stop
    processing your personal data in these cases unless there are prevailing
    and compelling legitimate reasons to continue processing your data, or
    unless Sony Music needs to process your data in order to exercise its rights
    or defend itself against claims.
    These rights may be limited, for example if fulfilling your request would reveal
    personal data about another person, where it would infringe the rights of a third
    party (including our rights), or if you ask us to delete information which we are
    required by law to keep or have compelling legitimate interests in keeping.
    Relevant exemptions are included in both the UK GDPR (UK General Data
    Protection Regulation) and in the Data Protection Act 2018. We will inform you of
    relevant exemptions we rely upon when responding to any request you make.
    To exercise any of these rights, you can get in touch with us by emailing
    info.sweden@sonymusic.com. If you have unresolved concerns, you have the
    right to complain to an EU data protection authority where you live, work, or
    where you believe a breach of your data protection rights may have occurred.
    In Sweden, the relevant authority is Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (https://
    www.imy.se/).
    Data that is mandatory in order to carry out your request is indicated on
    relevant forms that you may complete. Where provision of data is mandatory, if
    relevant data is not provided then we will not be able to fulfil your requests to
    receive newsletter updates, enter a contest or opportunity, or otherwise engage
    with Sony Music or its artists. All other provision of your information is optional.
