PRIVACY
POLICY & USERS RIGHTS
This site is part of The Nielsen Company
network of web sites.
At The Nielsen Company we take your
privacy very seriously. Because of this
we want to provide you with explicit
information on how we collect, gather,
and identify information during your
visit to our site. This information
may be expanded or updated as we change
or develop our site. For this reason,
we recommend that you review this policy
from time-to-time to see if anything
has changed. Your continued use of our
site signifies your acceptance of our
privacy policy.
Personally Identifiable Information
refers to information that tells us
specifically who you are, such as your
name, phone number, email or postal
address. In many cases we need this
information to provide the personalized
or enhanced service that you have requested.
The amount of Personally Identifiable
Information that you choose to disclose
to The Nielsen Company is completely
up to you. The only way we know something
about you personally is if you provide
it to us in conjunction with one of
our services.
What information do we collect
and how do we use it?
The Nielsen Company collects information
on our users in three ways: by your
voluntary submissions (for instance,
if you sign up for one of our email
newsletters) and/or surveys; sweepstakes
and/or contest entries; and through
cookie technology.
In our effort to provide personalization
and opportunities for prizes and services,
we may at times ask you to submit information
such as your name or email address,
or to share your interests and hobbies
with us. You never have to answer these
questions, and you can decline this
exchange of information on any site
on the Internet - not just ours - at
any time. However, if you should choose
to withhold requested information, we
may not be able to provide you with
some of the services dependent upon
the collection of this information,
such as a personalized stock portfolio,
a sweepstakes entry, or the purchase
and shipment of products and prizes
to people who visit our network.
The information The Nielsen Company
collects is used in a variety of ways:
for internal review; to improve the
content of the site, thus making your
user experience more valuable; to notify
you about updates to the service; and
to let you know about products and services
that you may be interested in.
Email: If you have provided us your
email address, The Nielsen Company periodically
sends promotional emails to its subscribers
about services offered by The Nielsen
Company and its partners. If you do
not wish to receive email information
from The Nielsen Company, please let
us know by emailing us at: rrwebmaster@radioandrecords.com
or by writing us at Radio & Records,
Inc.,
5055 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 600, Los
Angeles, CA 90036.
The "email this article" feature
is an easy way for you to send articles
through email. The email addresses that
you supply to use this service will
not be used for any other purpose without
your consent.
With whom does The Nielsen Company share
the information it gathers/tracks?
From time to time we share this information
with other reputable organizations for
marketing purposes or the information
is used by The Nielsen Company to contact
consumers for its own marketing endeavors.
As a valued consumer, we offer you the
opportunity to "opt out,"
or request not to accept these marketing
opportunities. If at any time you change
your mind and do not want The Nielsen
Company to share your email address
or home address with other companies
and/or organizations, or would simply
like to be removed from the list, please
let us know by emailing us at rrwebmaster@radioandrecords.com
or by writing us at Radio & Records,
Inc., 5055 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 600,
Los Angeles, CA 90036.
Sweepstakes/Contests
From time-to-time The Nielsen Company,
along with other reputable companies,
provides sweepstakes and other contests
for the enjoyment of our users. By participating
in the contest or sweepstakes and answering
any and all questions, the user understands
that The Nielsen Company and/or the
involved company(s) may use the information
obtained for marketing purposes. Children
under 18 may not participate in any
sweepstakes or contest promoted by The
Nielsen Company.

collect non-personally identifiable
information and data through the use
of "cookies." Cookies are
small text files a Web site uses to
