Pandora Updates Terms of Use, Privacy Policy

Pandora updated its terms of use and privacy policy effective June 30, the company said in an email to users Wednesday. Changes include making it easier for artists to connect with users, and for users to control how artists connect with them; two new policies -- on community and content and on intellectual property -- were created about the content a user posts on Pandora; updates were made in how Pandora can contact users; and a provision was added to the privacy policy to ensure the company complied with the EU-Swiss safe harbor privacy principles, and describes how Pandora uses data for measurement purposes and how users can control their participation in those measurement studies. “If you don't agree to these updated agreements, you may close your account and you won't be bound by them,” the email said.
