OUR COMMITMENT TO PRIVACY
Thank you for visiting
the Music Forte website.
Protecting consumer privacy is very important to us.
Our Online Privacy Statement is available to inform
you about our collection and use of personal information
so that you can make informed choices about how your
own information is collected and used. This Online Privacy
Statement reflects the Music Forte policies covering
personal information collected at this website on or
after the effective date shown above.
We believe that information used responsibly benefits
consumers and the economy, whether it is information
we house on behalf of consumers conducting transactions
or information we collect on behalf of our business
clients. For example, we use consumer information every
day to ensure fast and accurate processing of hundreds
of thousands of money transfers. In addition, Music
Forte strives to better serve our customers by offering
goods and services that we believe fit their needs and
interests. When identifying an opportunity, Music Forte
may use consumer information it has collected in an
effort to identify consumers who may be interested in
that opportunity. For more than few years, consumers
and businesses have relied on Music Forte for safe and
reliable service. The relationships we have developed
through the years have been established based on mutual
trust. Each day we and employees and agents strive to
reinforce our commitment to our clients and consumers.
Central to that commitment is ensuring that we abide
by a set of privacy policies, which are outlined below.
These policies guide us in the collection and use of
information as well as employee responsibilities in
protecting your privacy. We use personal information
about consumers only in a manner consistent with these
policies.

and other materials submitted to us by customers;

consumers are involved;

· From a variety of third-party sources, such
as our business customers, government repositories,
consumer reporting agencies and other financial institutions.
DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
Music Forte does not disclose customer information to
third parties without first giving customers an opportunity
to opt-out of certain kinds of disclosures. There are
some disclosures to third parties that are not subject
to the opt-out, such as disclosures necessary to effect,
administer or enforce a transaction requested by you,
to companies that perform services for us or to prevent
fraud.

WE USE APPROPRIATE SECURITY
SAFEGUARDS.
At Music Forte, security is a priority. We employ appropriate
measures to protect consumer information against unauthorized

security and other appropriate technologies. Music Forte
continually reviews and enhances its security systems,
as necessary.
WE MAINTAIN PROCEDURES
TO ASSURE THE QUALITY OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND
WHERE APPLICABLE, WE WILL INFORM CONSUMERS ABOUT HOW
THEY CAN ACCESS THEIR PERSONAL INFORMATION AND MAKE
CORRECTIONS, IF NECESSARY.
Music Forte employs appropriate measures to assure the
quality of information we collect directly from consumers.
Where Music Forte collects information directly from
consumers or sources other than our business customers,
we permit them, if possible, to dispute or correct any
erroneous or out-of-date personally identifiable information.
Of course, this correction would not be possible if
the information is proprietary to one of our business
customers, reflects historical transaction information
or if correction would violate the privacy or legal
rights of a third party. Where applicable, we abide
by laws related to such information. You can correct
factual errors in your personally identifiable information
by sending us a written request that credibly shows
error. We reserve the right to independently verify
claims made. To protect your privacy and security, we
also will take reasonable steps to verify your identity
before making corrections. We reserve the right to assess
a service charge for providing you any information in
connection with your request.
