MetroLyrics uses your personal information for the operation and maintenance of your account and the MetroLyrics Service. For example, MetroLyrics may use your e-mail address to send you a welcome e-mail message when you first register informing you about the service, telling you how to manage your account. You will receive a separate e-mail to which you must respond in order to validate that you are the owner of the e-mail address associated with your account at MetroLyrics. Failure to respond to the e-mail and verify the address within four days will cause the members account to become inactive. This process is designed to verify the validity of the e-mail address and to help prevent e-mail addresses from being used without permission in the creation of MetroLyrics accounts.

MetroLyrics may also send you e-mail about periodic service or recommended security updates. These periodic e-mails are considered essential to the provision of the service you have requested. You cannot unsubscribe from these mailings. In addition, you may subscribe to receive MetroLyrics e-mail newsletter. You can unsubscribe from this service at any time.

If you need to reset your password and cannot access your primary e-mail account, MetroLyrics may send password reset e-mail to your alternate e-mail address.
