If you have any questions about this privacy policy,
about information gathered by this site, or about the operation
of this site, please contact us at wb19@wazetv.com.
Privacy Policy
Your privacy on the Internet is important to us.
As part of the operation of our site, we gather certain types of
information about our users, and we would like to explain the types
of information we gather, what we do with it and how to correct
or change the information.
Information Collected by This Site
We collect two types of personally identifying information from
users: personal data (such as names and e-mail addresses); and aggregated
data (such as information about traffic patterns on the site, for
example how many users log into the site on a daily basis).
Personal Data
Personal data is collected when users provide personal data to the
site, for example in registering for electronic newsletters or other
membership services, answering surveys, purchasing items from the
site, sending email to the site, and registering for contests and
other promotional opportunities. Also, we collect the e-mail addresses
of users who post messages to the message boards and chat areas.
Aggregated Information
Aggregated information, such as which pages users access or visit
and information volunteered by users, such as survey information
and/or site registrations, is collected through various methods.
For example, we collect IP addresses. An IP address is a number
that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you’re
surfing the Web. Web servers, the computers that "serve up"
Web pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address,
and when you request a page from a website, its servers log your
IP address. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable,
so although your session will be logged, you will remain anonymous
to the site. We collect IP addresses for the purposes of system
administration and to provide aggregate data to advertisers about
the volume of use on the site.
Use of Cookies
Our site also uses "cookies" to collect information. A
cookie is a small data file that most major websites write into
your hard drive for record keeping purposes when you visit them.
Cookies allow a website to measure activity on their site and to
improve your user experience, for example by remembering your passwords
and viewing preferences, thus allowing you to visit various member-only
parts of the site without re-registering. We do not use cookies
to retrieve information from your computer that was not originally
sent in a cookie. Except for personal information voluntarily provided
by you (i.e. during membership registration or a contest), we do
not use information transferred through cookies for any promotional
or marketing purposes, and that information is not shared with third
parties.
You may occasionally get cookies from advertisers on the site, which
is standard on the Internet. These cookies are outside the control
of our site, and are not subject to our privacy policy. Most browsers
are initially set to accept cookies. If you’d prefer, you
can set yours to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are
being sent. However, it is possible that some parts of the site,
such as the member-only areas and shopping, contest and game areas,
will not function properly if you do so.
Third Party Advertising
The ads appearing on this Web site are delivered to you by DoubleClick,
our Web advertising partner. Information about your visits to this
site, such as number of times you have viewed an ad (but not your
name, address, or other personal in-formation), is used to serve
ads to you. For more information about DoubleClick, cookies, and
how to "opt-out", please click here.
Third Party Cookies
In the course of serving advertisements to this site, our third-party
advertiser may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser.
Use of Information Collected by Our Site
Our site uses both the personal and aggregated information collected
for multiple purposes. The information is used to improve the content
of the site, to customize the content and/or layout of the site
for each individual user and to notify users about updates to the
site or promotional offers or opportunities that we believe will
be of interest to you.
We share aggregated information collected from the site with third
parties for both advertising and promotional purposes.
Personal information collected by this site may be shared with other
NBC-owned or controlled entities. With your permission, we may also
share personal information collected on the site with prescreened
third parties for marketing or promotional purposes. We will provide
users with an opportunity to decline this service when such information
is requested from you online. In addition, in the event we plan
to post any such information on the site (for example, if you are
the winner of a contest) we will either notify you of this possibility
when you provide the information and/or, if possible, when the information
is posted. Personal information may also be shared only as necessary
with third parties who provide technical services to the Site, or
host portions of the site, who will not share or otherwise disseminate
this information other than as necessary to perform these services.
In addition, FCC regulations require that certain emails and correspondence
sent to the television station via the site (which may include personally
identifiable information, such as name and address) on matters including
television signal reception, community matters, programming and
suggestions for investigative reports and other similar issues,
be kept in a file that is available to the public for a period of
three years.
Also, if you have subscribed to one or more e-mail newsletters and
do not want to receive such e-mail in the future, please discontinue
your subscriptions by selecting the "unsubscribe" link
at the bottom of any message.
Children and Privacy
We encourage parents and guardians to spend time with their children
online, and to be fully familiar with the sites visited by their
children. At various places on the sites, we ask whether users are
under the age of 18, or 13, for example when requesting personal
information from a user, we may ask for parental consent. We rely
on users to be truthful in responding to these questions.
Individuals Under 13
No information should be submitted to or posted on the site by users
under the age of 13 years without consent of their parent or guardian.
The site does not provide any personally identifying information,
regardless of its source collected from users under the age of 13
to any third party for any purpose whatsoever unless disclosed during
collection. Users under the age of 13 are asked not to participate
in contests or other promotional opportunities, and the site does
not knowingly collect information from users under the age of 13.
Individuals 13 Through 17
We request that children under the age of 18 do not submit or post
information to the site without a parent or guardian’s consent.
The site may collect information, including personally identifying
information, from users between the ages of 13 and 17, and this
information may be used for marketing and promotional purposes by
the site and which may be shared with prescreened third parties,
with the permission of the user. A user or their parent or guardian
may stop the use - either by e-mail request or by modifying his/her
registration information online as described above in "Use
of Information Collected by The Site."
Message Board and Chat
Please remember that information posted to message boards and chat
areas becomes public information. Use caution when posting. Users
under the age of 18 should be especially careful not to provide
any personally identifying information while using chat rooms or
message boards. As set forth in our Terms and Conditions of use,
users of chat rooms and message boards must follow acceptable standards
of behavior when posting messages online.
Links to Other Sites
It is important to note that this site contains links to other sites,
and that those sites may not follow the same privacy policies as
our site. For instance, if you click on an advertisement on the
site, this will take you away from the site and to an entirely different
site. This can include links from advertisers, content providers
and partners who may use the sites’ logo and or style as a
result of a co-branding agreement. These sites may send their own
cookies to you, and may collect data and make uses of it that the
sites would not.
USE OF THIS SITE SIGNIFIES YOUR AGREEMENT TO THE TERMS OF
USE AND PRIVACY POLICY.
We reserve the right to change this policy at any time by posting
a revised privacy policy.
