Privacy Policy
This Web Site
(the "Web site") provides a variety of online services, from
interactive entertainment to electronic commerce via its relationship with *,
LLC dba * WKFK TV 7 ("* WKFK
TV 7"). * WKFK TV 7 is the
host of this Web site. Because the success of this Web site is dependent on
building and maintaining goodwill with our customers, this Web site and * WKFK TV 7 (hereinafter collectively referred to as
"we" or “us” or "our") are committed to implementing
measures designed to protect the privacy of those using our services. Moreover,
we see it as our responsibility to set examples and help establish the standards
for privacy on the Internet.
Although we
respect the privacy of all those who visit the Web site and use our online
services, we do collect information from our Web site's members and visitors.
This Privacy Policy governs your interaction with the Web site, and your
registration for and use of this station's online services. Except as set forth
within this Privacy Policy and this Web Site's Terms of Service and or other
published guidelines, we do not release personally identifiable information
about this Web site's members and visitors without their permission.
Please note that
we review these privacy practices from time to time, and that these practices
are therefore subject to change. We ask that you periodically review this page
to ensure continuing familiarity with the most current version of this Web
site's Privacy Policy. To contact us about privacy issues, to report a violation
of this Web site's Privacy Policy, or to raise any other issue regarding the Web
site, please e-mail us at Info@WKFK.com.
The information we gather
We gather two
types of information about this Web site's users:
(1) Non-personally
identifiable information: When visitors come to the Web site, we collect and
aggregate information indicating, among other things, which pages were visited,
the order in which they were visited, and which hyperlinks were
"clicked." Collecting such information involves the logging of IP
addresses, operating system and browser software used by each visitor to the Web
site. Although such information is not personally identifiable, we can determine
from the IP address a visitor's Internet Service Provider and the geographic
location of his or her point of connectivity.
The
non-personally identifiable information we collect helps us diagnose problems
with our server, administer the Web site, identify the most popular areas of the
Web site, and determine the effectiveness of our promotional activities. In
addition, we may disclose some of this information to advertisers to inform them
of the number of people who have seen and or clicked through their
advertisements.
For the same
purposes, we use "cookies"---that is, small text files placed on your
computer's hard drive---to help us determine the type of content and sites to
which you link, the length of time you spend at any particular area of the Web
site, and your usage of our services offered via the Web site. Cookies also tell
us which advertising you have seen on the Web site.
At certain times, we may use outside
advertising companies to display advertisements on the Web site that may contain
cookies ("banner ads"). These banner ads collect information stored by
the advertising company and we do not have access to this information.
Essentially,
cookies are your identification cards for our computers, or servers, that placed
them there. Cookies are only read by the server that placed them, and are unable
to execute any code or virus. Cookies allow us to serve you better and more
efficiently, and to personalize your experience at the Web site. Nevertheless,
you are able to control how and whether cookies will be accepted by your web
browser. For more information on how to do so, please refer to the documentation
accompanying your browser.
(2) Personally
identifiable information: In certain areas of the Web site, such as online
surveys and contests, the Web site may require that you provide personally
identifiable information (including, for example, zip code, age, income, and
e-mail address, and when applicable, credit card information). * WKFK TV 7, as host of the Web site, has access to this
information. In addition, when registering to set up an account to use certain
services of the Web site such as e-mail, chat rooms, and forums, or to receive
certain newsletters or specifically targeted information ("Services"),
we do require that you provide a valid e-mail address.
We do not
knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children (defined
herein as minors younger than 13 years of age) without obtaining parental
consent. Before registering for an account to use the Services of the Web site,
we ask that all minors have their parents read our Privacy Policy. Before and
during the registration process, we encourage all minors to include a parent or
guardian in the process.
We do not control
the acts of this Web site's members or visitors. All members and visitors should
be aware that, when they disclose personally identifiable information in a
bulletin board, chat room, guestbook, or other forum, the information may be
collected and used by others to send that person unsolicited e-mail from other
parties outside this Web site or * WKFK TV 7. In the event that you encounter any user on this
Web site who is improperly collecting or using information about you or other
users, please contact Info@WKFK.com.
How we use (and do not use) the information we
gather
Please take some
time to familiarize yourself with the different ways we use the information that
we gather. Keep in mind that, while we encourage all third parties
involved---including affiliates and advertisers---to adhere to our policies
regarding the privacy of this Web site's visitors and members and to otherwise
handle personal information in a responsible manner, we cannot and do not assume
any responsibility for any actions or omissions of third parties, including the
manner in which they use information received either from us or independently.
Nevertheless, in the event you encounter any third party associated with, or who
claims association with us who you feel is improperly collecting or using
information about you, please contact Info@WKFK.com, we will be happy to forward your message to
the third party.
(1) How
we use (and do not use) non-personally identifiable information: We use
non-personally identifiable information in aggregate form to build higher
quality, more useful online services by performing statistical analyses of the
collective characteristics and behavior of the Web site's members and visitors,
and by measuring demographics and interests regarding specific areas of the Web
site. We provide statistical information based on this data to advertisers,
affiliates, and other current and potential business partners. We also use the
aggregate data to inform these third parties as to the number of people who have
seen and clicked on links to their web sites.
The Web site may
contain links to other Internet web sites, including co-branded or other
affiliated sites that may or may not be owned or operated by us. Unless
otherwise explicitly stated, we are not responsible for the privacy practices or
the content of such web sites, including such sites' use of any information
(such as IP number, browser type, or operating system) collected when visitors
to the web site click through links to those sites. Even though such information
might not identify you personally, we strongly encourage you to become familiar
with the privacy practices of those sites.
(2) How
we use (and do not use) personally identifiable information: We provide
notice to potential registrants of this Web site whose personally identifiable
information will be collected during the registration process. Such notice is
provided simultaneously with your registration with this website; moreover, this
Privacy Policy itself serves as notice that such information is collected under
those circumstances. You may not "opt in" to the registration
process if you wish to have access to Services, and you may choose to "opt
in" to receiving promotional materials from us and or our affiliates,
advertisers, or other business partners. If you "opt in" to
receiving such promotional materials, we reserve the right to release any
personally identifiable registration information regarding you to third parties
who provide goods or services that we believe may be of interest to you. We will
not release your credit card information to third parties unless necessary to
complete a transaction between you and such a third party. If you decide that
you would like to discontinue receiving promotional information from such third
parties, please contact those third parties directly, or contact us at
Info@WKFK.com.
We limit our own
e-mail contact and solicitations to those customers who have "opted
in" to receiving such communications. The solicitations are limited in that
they, among other things, will clearly indicate the originator of the e-mail and
provide the customer with a method of "opting out" of receiving future
communications of a similar nature.
In addition, we
sometimes use demographic data to decide which advertisements and sponsor
messages to show to which members. As an example, if Sponsor XYZ wishes to
display their advertising only to female members of this Web site, we use member
registration data to ensure that Sponsor XYZ's ads are displayed only to female
members.
Finally, we may
use individual members' data to "pre-populate" forms, which are
displayed for the purpose of collecting individual data by us and or our
sponsors. In no case does pre-populating a form transfer any data to any
advertiser or third party. Only if the member voluntarily requests that such
data be transferred will any transfer take place---for example, if or when a member
clicks a "submit form" button or other button.
We reserve the
right to release any and all information contained within our access logs
concerning any visitor or member when that visitor or member is in violation of
our Terms of Service or other published guidelines, or partakes (or is
reasonably suspected of partaking) in any illegal activity, even without a
subpoena, warrant, or other court order, and to release such information in
response to discovery requests, or in response to any circumstance which we, in
our sole discretion, deem an emergency. We cooperate with law enforcement
agencies in identifying those who may be using our servers or services for
illegal activities. We also reserve the right to report any suspected illegal
activity to law enforcement for investigation or prosecution.
If and when we
sponsor promotions or sweepstakes, or third parties sponsor promotions or
sweepstakes in conjunction with us, either we or the third party will post
relevant privacy information in the official rules and or registration area for
the promotion or sweepstakes. That privacy information, to the extent it
conflicts with this Privacy Policy, will govern that particular promotion or
sweepstakes.
Security
All information
gathered on the Web site is stored within a WKFK TV 7 controlled database accessible only to us to protect
the loss, misuse, or alteration of the information under our control.
