Privacy
RealNetworks is committed to being a leader in providing our customers with
clear, comprehensive information regarding the personally identifiable
information gathered through the use of our consumer software products. It is our mission
to protect and respect your private information. We have developed this
consumer software privacy statement to ensure that when you use one of RealNetworks'
products, you will know:
- What personally identifiable information, if any, we gather and track when you
use the product
- What we do with any personally identifiable information we gather and track
when you use the product
- Whether any of your personally identifiable information will be shared with
any third party
- How our consumer products communicate with RealNetworks

What We Do With the Information We Gather and Track
Much of the data that is sent by RealPlayer or RealJukebox is temporary data
that is required only to enable a feature or service to be performed over the
Internet, and is discarded after its intended use is served. The information that
we do store and track, we use in three ways:
- To gather anonymous statistical data to help us better understand the quality
of our products and services and how our products are used.
- To provide you with information about products, services, news, and
interesting content.
- To provide you with a customized experience based on your preferences.
RealNetworks retains the services of certain outside contractors to perform
services on our behalf (for example, to ship products that are purchased from our
Web site or to help provide technical support services). At times, we must
disclose relevant information about our customers to our contractors so they may
provide specific services for RealNetworks. RealNetworks requires such
contractors to keep your information strictly confidential and to use the information
solely on behalf of RealNetworks. For purposes of this Privacy Statement, such
contractors are not considered "third parties" and RealNetworks may disclose
personally identifiable information to such contractors without additional notice.
RealNetworks will use reasonable efforts to comply with this privacy statement
and will take prompt corrective action when it learns of any failure to comply
with its privacy statement. Because of the complex and constantly changing
nature of our technology and business, RealNetworks does not guarantee error-free
performance under this privacy statement. RealNetworks shall not be liable for
any incidental, consequential or punitive damages relating to this privacy
statement.
