Third-Party Services and Websites
The VVL MUSIC Services may link to third-party websites or services. The privacy practices of those third parties are not governed by this Privacy Notice. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party websites and services to understand their practices.
If you connect to a third-party service (such as Discord, Riot Games, or Xbox) through the VVL MUSIC Services or otherwise link your VVL MUSIC account with a third-party service, you are requesting and authorizing us to share or grant access to information on your behalf (such as your username, the fact that your connection originated from the VVL MUSIC Services, and other relevant usage and diagnostic information) with such third party.

Extensions and Applications
The VVL MUSIC Extensions program allows creators to embed interactive, custom, third-party content and applications on their channel pages. You can find out more about the specific Extension(s) operating on a given channel by clicking on the attribution links or icons that VVL MUSIC will make available on the channel page, for example, on the VVL MUSIC video player or at the bottom of an Extension’s panel.
Interaction by a viewer with an Extension or with the channel on which the Extension is activated will provide the developer that operates the Extension with viewer information of the nature described above in “Automatically Collected Information.” VVL MUSIC does not provide access to your user name or ID to third-party Extension developers as part of the VVL MUSIC Extensions program unless you click “Grant Access” within the Extension or you install an Extension on your channel.
