How We Use the Information & Legal Basis for Use
We process your personal information for the following purposes:
We may also use and share non-personal information in our discretion, and we may use non-personal information, including information that has been de-identified or pseudonymized to improve the Sony MCS Properties. In addition, we may send you direct marketing in relation to our services, or other services provided by our Affiliates and carefully selected partners. You will be able to opt-out of those materials by following the instructions in the communication.
With Whom & Where We Share Data
To the fullest extent allowed by law, we may share non-personal information, such as information that has been de-identified, pseudonymized or aggregated, with third parties in our discretion. We may share the information we have collected about you, including personal information, as disclosed at the time you provide your information or otherwise with your consent, and as described below or elsewhere in this Privacy Policy. California residents, please see below for additional information in the Notice to California Residents.
To Your Collaborators. Sony MCS may share your personal information with collaborators you choose to share your content with via Ci.
To Affiliates. Sony MCS may share your personal information with companies affiliated with Sony MCS ("Affiliates")*, so that those Affiliates can provide services to us or on our behalf, such as assisting us with fulfilling your requests or improving our content, services, or advertising, and providing operational support (including but not limited to customer service, data storage, maintenance services, database management, web analytics, payment processing and/or billing support, and improvement of Ci's features). We may also share personal information with Affiliates to contact you about other content, services or other offerings that may be of interest to you.
* "Affiliates" means the parents, subsidiaries, or any legal entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Sony MCS. An entity is considered to control another entity if it owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the total voting securities or other such similar voting rights.
To Third-Party Service Providers Providing Services on Sony MCS's Behalf. We may employ certain trusted third-party companies and service providers to perform functions on or behalf and/or help us with our business activities (including but not limited to data storage, maintenance services, database management, web analytics, payment processing, and improvement of Ci's features). These third parties may have access to your information only for purposes of performing these tasks on our behalf and under obligations similar to those in this Privacy Policy. All information and data submitted through any third-party website or application will also be subject to such third-party's privacy policy and not ours. In particular, we use Amazon's S3 storage service to store some of your information (for example, your content). You can find more information on Amazon's data security from the S3 site.
When You Consent To Have Your Personal information Shared or Otherwise Request That We Share Your Information. We may offer you the opportunity to consent to the sharing of your information with third parties, for example so you are able to receive information and/or marketing offers from third-parties or participate in Promotions. Additionally, you may request, sometimes through your use of an interactive feature or third-party application, that we share personal information about you with a third-party, and we will typically do so in those circumstances. If you consent or request to receive communications from third parties, you will need to communicate with them directly if you later decide that you no longer wish to receive their communications.
The provisions above apply to our sharing of personal information with Affiliates and third parties including service providers. They do not cover use of personal information that those Affiliates and third parties collect directly from you. Such use of personal information is covered by the relevant Affiliate's and/or third-party's privacy policy and not this Privacy Policy.
Business Transactions. We may share personal information with Affiliates for internal reasons, primarily for business and operational purposes, including any corporate reorganization, restructuring or other corporate change. In addition, Sony MCS or any of its assets, including the Sony MCS Properties, may be sold, or other transactions may occur in which your personal information is one of the key business assets in the transaction. In such a case, your personal information may be one of the business assets we transfer. By providing your information, you understand and agree that we may transfer such information in connection with any activity and/or transaction described above without your further consent, except where otherwise required by law.
Legal Protections and Law Enforcement.

Such disclosures may be carried out without notice to you.
Social Media Applications. Functionality on the Sony MCS Properties may permit interactions between third-party properties, such as enabling you to "like" or "share" content to third-party websites. If you choose to "like" or "share" content or to otherwise post information from or via the Sony MCS Properties to a third-party property, feature or application, that information may become public, and the third-party property may have access to information about you and your use of the Sony MCS Properties including personal information.
Aggregate data is information we collect about a group or category of services or users for which individual user identities have been removed and can no longer be identified. No personal information is included in aggregate data. Aggregate data helps us understand trends in our user's needs so that we can better consider new features or otherwise modify or improve our services. This Privacy Policy in no way restricts or limits our collection or use of aggregate data, and we may share aggregate data about our users with third parties for various purposes, including to help us better understand our customer needs and improve our services, and for advertising and marketing purposes.

Additional Notice to California Residents.
If you are a California resident, you have the right to receive (a) information identifying any third-party companies to whom Sony MCS may have disclosed, within the past year, personal information pertaining to you and your family for that company's direct marketing purposes; and b) a description of the categories of personal information disclosed. To obtain such information, please email your request to privacy@sonymcs.com or contact us as described in the Questions section below. Requests must include a reference to "Your California Privacy Rights".
Notice to EEA, UK, and Switzerland Residents
What rights do I have in relation to my personal information?
You may be entitled to ask Sony MCS for a copy of your information, to correct it, erase or restrict its processing, or to ask us to transfer some of this information to other organizations. You may also have rights to object to some processing, such as profiling we perform for the purposes of direct marketing, and, where we have asked for your consent to process your data, to withdraw this consent. These rights may be limited in some situations – for example, where we can demonstrate that we have a legal requirement to process your data. In some instances, this may mean that we are able to retain data even if you withdraw your consent.
Where we require personal information to comply with legal or contractual obligations, then provision of such data is mandatory: if such data is not provided, then we will not be able to manage our contractual relationship, or to meet obligations placed on us. In all other cases, provision of requested personal information is optional.
We hope that we can satisfy queries you may have about the way we process your data. If you have any concerns about how we process your data, or would like to opt out of marketing, you can get in touch at privacy@sonymcs.com.
If you have unresolved concerns you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authorities.
Which Sony MCS entity is my data controller?
The data controller for your information is Sony Media Cloud Services LLC.
Where will you send my data?

For UK: Where information is transferred outside the UK and where this is to a Sony MCS affiliate or vendor in a country that is not subject to an adequacy decision by the UK ICO, data is adequately protected by the UK IDTA, or other authorized transfer mechanism.
