11. Transfers of Personal Data
Personal Data is collected and processed in several different countries. To ensure the lawfulness of
the
transfers of personal data across borders, we rely on decisions from the European Commission,
standard
data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission.
12. Security of Personal data
We use commercially reasonable technical, organizational, and administrative safeguards to protect
information within our control against unauthorized or unlawful access, use, modification,
destruction,
processing or disclosure, and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage. We believe that these
measures are reasonably adapted to the nature of the information in our custody.
We limit access to our users’ personal data to only those employees and third parties who reasonably
need
access to it to perform the activities attached to their job responsibilities.
However, due to the realities of data security, no security system or storage system can be
guaranteed to
be 100% effective or secure. Thus, we cannot guarantee that any information provided to us,
collected by
us or transmitted by us will not be accessed, hacked, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by
unauthorized
parties.
12.1 Breach of Security
If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you
feel that the security of any account you might have with us might have been compromised), or if

indicated in the “How to Contact Us” section.
12.2 Lost or Stolen Information

updating
your account details.

European Economic Area (EU/EEA) the following rights, with some limitations. The GRAMMY Museum

GDPR. Individuals may contact us, at the address provided in the “How to Contact us” section below,
to

GDPR.
13.1 Right Not to Provide Consent or to Withdraw Consent
We may seek to rely on your consent in order to process certain personal data. Where we do so, you
have
the right not to provide your consent, and the right to withdraw your consent at any time. If you

for
example, if it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was originally collected.
13.5 Right to Restrict Processing
In certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we restrict the processing of the
personal
data that we have collected about you; for example, where you believe that the personal data that
hold
about you is not accurate or lawfully held.
13.6 Right to Data Portability
In certain circumstances, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you
have
provided us in a structured, commonly used, machine readable format, and the right to obtain that we

You have the right to lodge complaint with a supervisory authority or other dispute resolution
mechanism
if you believe that our processing of personal data relating to you infringes your rights under
Applicable Law.
Rights of Users Located in California
California requires operators of websites or similar services to make certain disclosures to users
who
reside in California regarding their rights, specifically:
14.1 Shine the Light
Under California law, a business that has an established business relationship with an individual,
and
has, within the immediately preceding calendar year, disclosed personal data that is primarily used
for
personal, family or household purposes to third party for the third party’s direct marketing
purposes,
must disclose to its California users, upon request, the identity of any such third party, along
with
the type of personal data disclosed.
You can contact us to as provided in the “How to Contact Us” section. Please note that under
California
law, businesses are only required to respond to a user’s request once during any calendar year.
14.2 Do-Not-Track
Some browsers give individuals the ability to communicate that they wish not to be tracked while
browsing
on the Internet. California law requires that we disclose to users how we treat do-not-track
requests.
The Internet industry has not yet agreed on a definition of what “Do Not Track” means, how
compliance
with “Do Not Track” would be measured or evaluated, or a common approach to responding to a “Do Not
Track” signal. Due to the lack of guidance, we have not yet developed features that would recognize
or
respond to browser-initiated Do Not Track signals in response to California law.
In the meantime, there are technical means to prevent some of the tracking, if any. See Section “Your
Advertising Choices.”
15. Privacy Changes
Because of changes in technology and the growth and development of our business, or for other
business
reasons, we may need to modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of changes
to
this Privacy Policy by posting the amended terms on the Site at least thirty (30) days before the
effective date of the changes. If you do not agree to the new terms, you should stop using the Site,
and
you will not be bound by the new terms. Otherwise, the new terms will take effect after thirty (30)
days.
We reserve the right to amend or update this Privacy Policy at any time. We will inform you of such
changes as soon as they are introduced, and they will be binding as soon as they are published on
the
Platform or later, as provided by applicable law. Please regularly visit this page to acquaint
yourself
with the latest, updated version of the Privacy Policy.
