Any successor entity may continue to use personal information subject to applicable law and the privacy commitments applicable at the time of the transfer.

13. We Do Not Sell Artist Content

Our rights to Artist Content are governed by the applicable Digital Music Distribution Agreement and other service agreements.

  • Keep users signed into their accounts;
  • Remember preferences;
