How we protect your information

What if I am under 18?

If you are aged 18 or under, please get your parent/guardian’s permission before you provide any personal information to Rhapsody.

If we become aware that a person submitting personal information through any part of our website is a child, we delete the information as soon as we discover it and do not use it for any purpose, nor do we disclose it to third parties.

Since we do not seek to collect any personal information about children, and we delete any information collected inadvertently as soon as we discover that a child has submitted it, we typically retain no information about children that could be reviewed or deleted. If a parent requests review or deletion of information about their child before we have discovered and deleted the information, then we will of course honor that request.

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. The date of the most recent revisions will appear on this page. If you do not agree to these changes, please do not continue to submit personal information to Rhapsody.
