Our customers, clients, and registered users may store or upload personal information onto our site or

the individuals whose personal information is uploaded from its customers, clients, and registered users.

TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES / COOKIES

Our Sites have features that automatically collect information from you to assist us in creating Sites that
honor your preferences and serve your needs, allow us to improve our Sites and provide you with
tailored advertising. In certain instances, our Sites use cookies, which are small data files containing
information about you that are stored on your hard drive. Cookies are embedded in the HTTP
information that travels back and forth between your computer and the servers. Cookies allow
automated customer customization and personalization, and, for example, cookies may be utilized to
assure that a sweepstake’s applicant enters any given sweepstakes only once or to store session
preferences.

(a) We use the following categories of cookies on our Sites:

Functionality cookies. These are used to recognize you when you return to our Sites in order to
improve your experience on our Sites, allowing us to personalize our content for you.
Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are essential for the operation of our Sites and include,
for example, cookies that enable you to browse our Sites and use its features and to maintain
secure areas of our Sites. We use these cookies based on our legitimate interest to provide you
with functioning and secure Sites.
Analytical/performance cookies. These cookies collect anonymous information about how you
use our Sites, for example how you arrived at our Sites and which pages you visit most often.
This helps us to improve the way our Sites work, for example, by ensuring that users are finding
what they are looking for easily. These cookies are sometimes placed by third-party providers of
web traffic analysis services, such as Google Analytics. We use these cookies only if you have
consented via the cookie banner.
Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to our Sites, the pages you have visited and
the links you have followed. These cookies are usually placed by third-party advertising
networks. They remember the other websites you visit, and this information is shared with
third-party organizations, for example advertisers (including Sumo, Facebook, X (f/k/a Twitter),
Google and Spotify). We use these cookies only if you have consented via the cookie banner.
Certain of our Sites use cookies to help keep track of items you put into your shopping cart,
including when you have abandoned your cart, and this information is used to determine when
to send cart reminder messages via SMS.

(b) Social Media plugins:

We use so-called social plugins, e.g. “like buttons,” on our Sites. These are services that are provided by
social media organizations such as Facebook, Instagram, X (f/k/aTwitter) and others. If you access a page
of the Site that contains such a plug-in, your browser establishes a direct connection to the social media
provider’s servers. Via the plugins, the providers receive the information that you have visited our Sites
even if you do not have a profile or are not currently logged in. This information (including your IP
address) will be transferred from your browser directly to a server of the respective provider in the USA
and stored there. If you are logged in to one of the social media services, the providers may allocate
your visit of the Sites to your account with them. Interactions with plug-ins like the “like button” are
sent directly to the providers’ servers and stored there. The information is also stored in the social
network and published on your account. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further
processing of your data by the providers as well as your relevant rights and setting options for the
protection of your privacy can be found in the privacy notices of the providers.

Below, please find more details on the social plugins we use:

Based on your consent, we, or our third-party partners, may employ a software technology called web
beacons (also known as web bugs, clear gifs or pixels) which helps us understand what content is
effective, for example by counting the number of users who have visited these pages, and to understand
usage patterns. Web beacons are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies,
and are used to let us know when content is viewed. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s
computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded on web pages, ads, and e-mail. We, or our third-party
partners, may tie the information gathered by web beacons to the other information we collect about
you.

HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES
Other than as set forth below in this privacy policy or subject to your consent to us doing so, we do not

Delivery partners, to deliver our products to the right location;
Financial partners, involved in the processing of your banking or credit card data on our website;
Marketing partners, which we use to send you promotional communications, for instance if you register to join an artist, author, or title’s mailing list or subscribe to a particular promotional campaign;
Promotional vendors, who help us to administer contests and promotions, including by maintaining separate contest and promotion microsites;
Applicant Tracking System Provider, to process and manage your job application as applicable;
IT service providers, such as our data hosting provider;
Other service providers that we may engage to provide services to us or on our behalf to you, including but not limited to platform providers, phone companies, and other vendors who assist us in the delivery of services and/or the functions of our business.
As described above, certain organizational data may be shared with users in connection with the creation and maintenance of Organizational Accounts.

We may share information in the event of a corporate change (such as a merger, acquisition or sale of
assets) in which case we will inform you separately before any transfer of your personal information.

We will also disclose information we maintain (i) when required to do so by law (for example, in
response to a court order or a subpoena or other legal obligation); (ii) in response to a law enforcement
agency’s request; or (iii) in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information
is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or
interference with our rights or property.
We use analytics technology, such as Google Analytics. You may be able to opt-out of this use of
information about you by Google by clicking here (https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-
