# The Privacy Panel

This display presents information about who purchased, who owns, who published the audio...and generally other information which may be considered private. Note that additional private information may be available through URLs on the URLs tab.

As these fields are not as common as many others, a brief description of the fields and their editing requirements follows. This text is largely taken from the ID3 specifications:

> Copyright
>   This field is intended for the copyright holder of the original sound, not the audio file itself.
> Owner
>   The 'File owner/licensee' field contains the name of the owner or licensee of the file and its contents. For files purchased with iTunes, this field may contain your Apple ID and name.
> Purchase Date
>   In mp3, aiff, dff, dsf and wav files this field is length restricted. The only valid formats are yyyy, yyyy-mm, or yyyy-mm-dd.
> Price Paid
>   The price paid for the album or track.
> Label
>   The 'Label' field simply contains the name of the label. When the Preference - Audio Process iTunMOVI for files with video option is enabled, the field contains the extracted studio name.
> Catalog Number
>   The Label's catalog number for the release.
> Publisher
>   The 'Publisher' field simply contains the name of the publisher.
> Seller
>   This is a plain text field except for MPEG-4 files where the text appears as:

>   > iTunes #, vendor ID text

>   Both the iTunes and vendor components of the string are optional. iTunes must come first if both are present and the two field components are separated by a comma. # can be a textual representation of an iTunes store or a country code that we are unaware of. If you wish send us the number and its associated country and we'll build it in. Changes to the iTunes store component of the string to other than supplying a known country or number will effectively be the same as removing the description.
> Radio Station
>   The 'Internet radio station name' field contains the name of the internet radio station from which the audio is streamed.
> Station Owner
>   The 'Internet radio station owner' field contains the name of the owner of the internet radio station from which the audio is streamed.
> Produced Notice
>   The 'Produced notice' field, is intended for the production copyright holder of the original sound, not the audio file itself.
> Terms of Use
>   This field contains a brief description of the terms of use and ownership of the file. There may be more than one of this field type in an audio file. This field presents the default item which is merely the first found in the file.
> Identification
>   The Identification field is only applicable for purchased m4a files. This value is extracted from the file external to the metadata store. Typically the field will contain your name. While you can set the field to any value it will not do anything unless the name field existed in the file when it was first loaded. Names cannot be added only modified or removed. Typically you would either clear the field or leave it unmodified. Note that m4v files may contain multiple instances of your name. Yate only detects the Identification data in a single track MPEG-4 file.
> AAC Kind
>   The ACC Kind field is only applicable for MPEG-4 (AAC) files. This value is extracted from the file external to the metadata store. This field displays the various purchase states displayed by iTunes in the Kind field for a track. It also displays the Mastered for iTunes state if appropriate. If a file was not initially purchased from iTunes, (perhaps it was ripped from another audio format), the value of the field will not change from AAC audio file (or not applicable) if saved with a different value.
> General Encapsulated Object
>   If any General Encapsulated Object items are present in the audio file a link will be displayed which will take you to the appropriate content view.
> Private Information
>   If any Private Information items are present in the audio file a link will be displayed which will take you to the appropriate content view.
