Sony's cloud platform enables you to connect to various Sony online services and software applications easily, wherever you have an Internet connection, from many Sony mobile and connected devices. Sony's online services make it easy to search your favorite content from a vast array of available content and discover new services. Sony may collect and consolidate various information about you and your interactions with these services when you use them. Currently, certain online services or cloud platform may not be available, or may not be supported, in Chinese mainland. Therefore, some of the provisions of this Privacy Policy will not apply to you who uses the application in Chinese mainland.
This Privacy Policy explains the following items:
i.How Sony Corporation, its affiliates and subsidiaries ("Sony", "we", "our" or "us") may read, collect, use and/or store information about your use of the applications and/or online services on Sony's cloud platform.
ii.How you can contact us.
This Privacy Policy is in addition to any other privacy policy that may apply to your interactions with any Sony affiliate, subsidiary, product, software or service.
Sony may collect and consolidate various information about you and your interactions with the following application(s) and/or online service(s) on Sony's cloud platform when you use them:
"PlayMemories Online" is Sony's cloud storage service for your photos and videos. You can easily upload your photos and videos, view wherever you are on your various device and share your content to your family or friends.
Certain information about you is collected by Sony when you join and use each application and online service as follows:
In order to use the full function of the PlayMemories Online service, you will need to sign in to your Sony Entertainment Network Account (“SEN Account"). When you sign in to your SEN Account, you provide your SEN Account ID and password directly to the relevant Sony Entertainment Network company (as explained in the PlayMemories Online Terms and Conditions), which controls this sign-in process independently of us. Once you have successfully signed in to your SEN Account, your PlayMemories Online application will receive a digital 'ticket', which includes account information assigned to your SEN Account by the relevant Sony Entertainment Network company (i.e., your SEN Account sign-in authenticates you so you may use the PlayMemories Online service). This process may allow for authentication for an extended period of time so you do not need to sign in to your SEN Account every time you want to access the PlayMemories Online service for that extended period.
*When you invite other users or non-registered users to your content-sharing space through the PlayMemories Online service, your name or nickname and your profile photo and those of other users of such content-sharing space may be visible to such users/non-registered users.
Sony may also receive certain information automatically when you use the PlayMemories Online application:
*Such information includes how you press function keys on the application. The collected information will be used for statistical purposes and may be used to provide you with appropriate Sony ads in your application.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO SONY COLLECTING THIS INFORMATION, YOU WILL NEED TO CEASE USING AND UNINSTALL THE APPLICATION.
*Such information includes how you press function keys on the application. The collected information will be used solely for statistical purposes and does not include any personal information or individually identifiable information.
