In the event that we believe that the security of your personal information in our possession or control may have been compromised, we may seek to notify you.

If you have reason to believe that this has occurred, please contact us and we will delete all relevant information.
9. Legally-Compelled Disclosures
We believe in privacy and therefore will take all reasonable measures to ensure that your personally identifiable information remains private. However, in the event that we are required to disclose personally identifiable information by a court, the police or other law enforcement bodies for their investigations, regulation or other governmental authority we will make such a disclosure without being in violation of this Policy.
10. Consent
You acknowledge that this Privacy Policy is part of the Terms and Conditions of Service and you agree that using this site signifies your assent to SonicBiblia® Privacy Policy.
By disclosing any information to SonicBiblia® through the Website and by using the SonicBiblia® Website as a registered user, you are consenting to the collection, storage and use of your personal information by SonicBiblia® as set out in this Policy and the Terms and Conditions, and you understand and consent to the collection, maintenance, processing and transfer of such information in and to the United States and other countries and territories.

If SonicBiblia® makes any changes to this Policy these changes will be detailed on this page in order to ensure that you are fully aware of what information is collected, how it is used and under what circumstances it will be disclosed. The "Last Updated" legend indicates when this Policy was last changed. If we make any material changes to the Policy, we will post a notice on our Site prior to those changes taking effect. If you have any specific concerns not addressed in the Policy, please contact us.
If you decide that you do not want your personal information to be used in the way described in this Policy, you can send us a notice that you wish to withdraw your consent as set out above. Because the SonicBiblia® community relies on users sharing information, withdrawing your consent will mean that you are not able to receive the full benefits of SonicBiblia®'s service as a user. Additionally, if you do not provide your consent, or if you withdraw your consent, you should not use the Website as a registered user, which means that many features will be unavailable to you.
12. Effective Date
