Privacy Statement for WEBE 108 VIP
WEBE-FM
and Frankly Media, Inc. (collectively, 'us', 'we', 'Operators') have created
this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to
privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and
dissemination practices for the WEBE 108 VIP website ('Site').
Your privacy is very important to us. Because we gather
certain types of personally identifiable information ("Personal
Information") from users of our website and for various business
activities, operational and business purposes, we feel you should know
how we collect, use, disclose, manage, and store the Personal
Information that you may voluntarily provide us and the Personal
Information that is collected passively through the use of cookies or
image tags on our website. This Privacy Policy is a part of the Site's Terms
and Conditions, which is binding on all Site users. This
Policy applies only to the Personal Information collected by the
Operators and does not cover any such information collected by its
corporate parent(s), affiliates, or any other company, unless
specifically stated.
If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please
do not participate in the WEBE 108 VIP's online or off-line
activities and services that require you to provide your Personal
Information. (The type of Personal Information collected is listed
below.) This Policy provides information regarding your
choices to either Opt-out or Opt-in when your Personal Information is
used for various promotional and marketing purposes by the Operators,
Site, its corporate affiliates, and/or our generous advertisers,
sponsors, or promotional partners (collectively, "Advertisers"). For
example, for the Operators, Site or our corporate affiliates use of
your Personal Information for marketing and promotional purposes, we
provide you with the right to Opt-out. However, the choice for sharing
your Personal Information with Advertisers may be different. Please see
details in the "Disclosure to Advertisers" section below.
GENERAL
PRIVACY GUIDELINES
We use your Personal Information to provide you with the
features, services, or goods you request and to respond to billing
and/or other such questions related to the Operators or Site. We will
also use your Personal Information to notify you about updates, new
features, programming and activities on behalf of the Operators, Site,
or our Advertisers that may be of interest to you. (We explain below in
the next section what our policy is for the collection, use and
disclosure of Personal Information to Advertisers.)
We may also use your information for hiring, operational and
business purposes, or to find out how we can improve our Site via
surveys or online tracking mechanisms. We use aggregate Personal
Information to help us to evaluate and modify existing services and
features. We also use your Personal Information to develop new services
and features that may be of interest to you.
We will not sell, exchange, rent, lease or otherwise disclose
your Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information to other
third party marketers or any such persons that are not associated with
the Operators as Advertisers unless it is necessary to: 1) conform to
regulatory and legal requirements or to comply with legal process; 2)
to protect the safety and security of our users, employees, or
property; 3) to defend the rights of the Site or the Operators; or 4)
to enforce the Terms and Conditions of the Site.
It is also necessary that we share your Personal Information
and Sensitive Personal Information with our operational service
providers, the specialists that provide internal support to the
Operators operations and activities and/or for Site design,
development, hosting and operations including maintenance, management,
storage and/or fulfillment of our membership and e-mail clubs, various
contests, sweepstakes, services, events and online stores. We use
operational service providers to efficiently provide the full range of
content, activities and membership services we bring to you and we
request that our operational service providers also protect your
privacy and not disclose your Personal Information or Sensitive
Personal Information to third party marketers that are not associated
with the Operators or website. Additionally, such providers are not to
use your personal Information for their own marketing or promotional
purposes.
In the event that the assets or stock of the Operators, their
corporate licensees or parent company(s) are sold or transferred,
merged with a different company or entity, restructured, or subject to
other fundamental corporate changes, we reserve the right to disclose
any and all databases compiled from Personal Information or Sensitive
Personal Information collected by the Operators to such successor. We
will seek to obligate the Operators's successor to agree to the terms
of the Privacy Policy, as it may hereafter be modified, but cannot
guarantee that we will be able to do so or that the successor company
will comply with this obligation.
We reserve the right to collect Personal Information using any
new technology yet to be developed and to use such technology to
provide new services and features to you, as well as for marketing and
promotional purposes. Specific information regarding your choice to
Opt-in or to Opt-out to such use, or for sharing your Personal
Information with Advertisers, will be provided once the new technology,
service, or feature is introduced.
WEBSITE
COLLECTION, USE, AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Your IP address is used to gather broad demographic
information. We use cookies to deliver content specific to your
interests, to save your password so you don't have to re-enter it each
time you visit our site, and for other purposes.
Our Site's registration form requires users to give us contact
information (like their first and last name, mailing address, phone
number, and email address) and demographic information (like their zip
code, age, or gender). We use customer contact information from the
registration form to send the user information about the rewards
service, and to notify and ship prizes to the winners of auctions,
sweepstakes, or contests as well as mail checks for cash earned on
purchases made through the rewards service. The customer's contact
information is also used to contact the visitor when necessary. We give
users the option to remove their information from our database, to not
receive future communications, or to no longer receive our service, by
submitting your request to Member Support.
Demographic and profile data is also collected at our site. We use this
data to tailor the visitor's experience at our site, showing them
content that we think they might be interested in, and displaying the
content according to their preferences. This information is shared with
advertisers and other third parties on an aggregate basis.
Unless stated otherwise, we do not request contact information
for a mobile phone, text messaging or any wireless device that includes
a domain name address (such as ".net" or ".com") as part of the contact
information. Federal law prohibits the sending of commercial email
messages directly to a wireless device that uses a domain name, unless
you have first given your affirmative consent. We may inadvertently
collect a wireless device number that includes a domain name when you
send us an inquiry or register for a contest or membership club.
However, we will not knowingly use that contact information for sending
commercial email. We reserve the right to respond to user inquiries or
requests sent via a wireless device that uses a domain name as such
messages are not deemed to be commercial email and therefore, are not
regulated by Federal law. However, when "computer to phone"
commercial emails are prohibited by law, we may reject your wireless
device contact information when such information is submitted for
certain Site features or services. We will attempt to notify you if we
will need new contact information.
For specific purposes (such as the purchase of goods and
services) we may request a type of confidential personally identifiable
information which shall be called "Sensitive Personal Information" and
is defined as any individual's: (1) social security number; (2)
driver's license number or state identification card number; or (3)
account number, credit or debit card number, in combination with any
required security code, access code or password that would permit
access to an individual's financial account. This Sensitive Personal
Information will only be used to implement the specific activity or
event it was submitted for. We will not share your Sensitive Personal
Information with Advertisers.
However, more general Personal Information will be used to
implement the specific activity or event and will also be used for the
marketing of additional events, services and merchandising for this
Site and the Operators.
EMAIL
If you sign up for an email newsletter or alert, we will use
your email address to deliver the newsletter or alert requested. To
opt-out of any newsletter or alert, click the unsubscribe link at the
bottom of the email or alert you received or go to Subscriptions and
uncheck the box or boxes for the newsletters or alerts you wish to
opt-out of.
DISCLOSURE
TO ADVERTISERS
Advertising support allows us to offer, free of charge, many
great activities and services to our users such as contests,
sweepstakes and special events. Therefore, we may also use your
Personal Information for the marketing of events, products or services
of our generous Advertisers. There are two ways users may receive such
information from Advertisers, either indirectly via newsletters, email
or direct mail from the Site, or directly from the Advertiser. We may
use one or both methods depending on the activity and the Advertiser.
Our opt-in program allows you the opportunity to request to be
contacted with additional information, to receive special offers and/or
to receive materials from Advertisers. If you elect to opt-in to
receive information, materials or special offers from these third
parties, you give the Operators permission to transfer your personal
information to our partners so they can fulfill your request. We will
only share your information with those Advertisers or category of
Advertisers you specifically opt-in to. Our third party partners have
separate privacy and data collection practices; the Operators have no
responsibility or liability for these independent policies.
If you do not want your personal information shared with
Advertisers, please select the option to not participate in our opt-in
program.
You have the option of completing online surveys as a part of
the rewards service. Among other things, our surveys ask for
demographic information (like income level). The information collected
through these surveys is used to tailor our visitors' experience at our
site and may be shared with advertisers and other third parties on an
aggregate basis.
Our Site also provides users the opportunity to opt-out of
receiving communications from us and our Advertisers at the point where
we request information about the visitor.
We give users the option to remove their information from our
database, to not receive future communications, or to no longer receive
our service, by submitting your request to Member Support.
If you would like to opt-out of behaviorally targeted
advertising, please visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp
SECURITY
MEASURES
We conduct the collection, management, maintenance and storage
of website user information in a secure and commercially reasonable
manner using acceptable industry standards of security technology and
practices (such as electronic security systems and password
protections) to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of
Personal Information. We also request that our operational service
providers take such precautions. The Operator databases are accessible
only by authorized personnel.
However, please note that when users transmit Personal
Information over an unsecured Internet connection, the Site is not
responsible for the security of that information during the
transmission stage as your email or registration could be copied or
intercepted by unknown third parties. We use a secured connection only
for the collection of Sensitive Personal Information, which is
necessary for the purchase of goods or services, but we do not use a
secured connection for other types of activities. Therefore, you
understand, acknowledge, and agree that you transmit certain Personal
Information over this Site at your own risk.
CHILDREN'S
PRIVACY POLICY
Although persons of all ages may visit our Site and
participate in activities that do not require the collection of
Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information, we do not
knowingly or intentionally collect Personal Information or Sensitive
Personal Information from children under the age of 13. Except for the
limited circumstances listed below, we will automatically reject and
delete the registration or entry of any person we believe in good faith
to be underage. Any false or fraudulent registration or entry from a
minor will be deemed to be ineligible and will disqualify the minor
from the receipt of a prize, benefit, or other participation.
Except to meet Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"), or
other regulatory and legal purposes, we will not use, store, or
disclose any child's Personal Information to a third party without
prior parental consent.
This Site may have contests and prizes that could appeal to
children. However, we do not knowingly or intentionally collect
personal Information from children. If we unintentionally receive
Personal Information from children under the age of 13 in relation to
this activity, we will comply with the Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act of 1998 ("COPPA") and reject and destroy such
correspondence upon knowledge of such collection, except for the
limited circumstances above. For more information about COPPA, please
see the Federal Trade Commission's website: www.ftc.gov.
Your
California Privacy Rights
Residents of the State of California, under a new provision of
the California Civil Code, have the right to request from companies
conducting business in California a list of all third parties to which
the company has disclosed Personal Information during the preceding
year for direct marketing purposes. Alternatively, the law provides
that if the company has a privacy policy that gives either an Opt-out
or Opt-in choice for use of your Personal Information by third parties
(such as advertisers or affiliated companies) for marketing purposes,
the company may instead provide you with information on how to exercise
your disclosure choice options.
The Operators of WEBE 108 VIP qualifies for the alternative
option; it has a comprehensive privacy policy and provides you with
details on how you may Opt-out or Opt-in to the use of your Personal
Information by third parties for direct marketing purposes. Therefore,
we are not required to maintain or disclose a list of the third parties
that received your Personal Information during the preceding year for
marketing purposes.
If you are a California resident and request information about
how to exercise your third party disclosure choices you must send a
request to the following address with a preference on how our response
to your request should be sent (email or postal mail). You may contact
us in two ways. Send email to Privacy Administrator at the
email address listed in the Contact Us section below. Alternatively,
you may contact the Operators at the physical address listed below in
the Contact Us section of this privacy statement.
For requests sent via email, you must put the
statement "Your California Privacy Rights" in the subject field of your
email. All requests sent via postal mail must be labeled "Your
California Privacy Rights" on the envelope or post card and clearly
stated on the actual request. For all requests, please
include your name, street address, city, state, and zip code. (Your
street address is optional if you wish to receive a response to your
request via email. Please include your zip code for our own
recordkeeping.) We will not accept requests via the
telephone or by facsimile. We are not responsible
for notices that are not labeled or sent properly, or do not have
complete information.
To all other users of this Site, if you have other questions
about this Privacy Policy, please contact our Privacy Administrator at
the email address or physical address listed below in the Contact Us
section of this privacy statement.
Unless specified otherwise on the Site, all users must be at
least 13 years of age and a legal resident of the United States
to participate in any activity that requires the submission of Personal
Information. This Site is designed and targeted to United States (U.S.)
audiences and is governed by and operated in accordance with the laws
of the United States. We make no representation that this Site is
operated in accordance with the laws or governed by other nations. By
your participation in our Site activities, you certify that you are at
least 13 years of age and located in the U.S. If you are located
in the European Union or elsewhere outside of the U.S. and you
participate in activities on this Site contrary to our policy that only
U.S. residents are eligible for certain activities, you do so at your
own risk and initiative, and are responsible for compliance with any
applicable local laws. Please be aware that any Personal Information
you transfer to us will be transferred to the U.S and subject to U.S.
law. By using this Site, participating in any Site activities, and/or
providing us with your Personal Information, you consent to this
transfer of Personal Information to the U.S., and waive any claims that
may arise under your own national laws. All users of the Site are
required to provide true, current, complete and accurate Personal
Information when prompted and we will reject and delete any entry that
we believe in good faith to be false, fraudulent, or inconsistent with
this Privacy Policy.
Your continued participation on this Site indicates your
acceptance of this Privacy Policy and of the collection, use,
disclosure, management and storage of your Personal Information as
described below. We may from time to time, transfer or merge any
Personal Information collected off-line to our online databases or
store off-line information in an electronic format. We may also combine
Personal Information we collect online with information available from
other sources, including information received from Advertisers, or
marketing companies. This Privacy Policy covers all such Personal
Information and will remain in full force and effect as long as you are
a user of the Site or a participant in Operators activities. We
reserve the right to revise this policy at any time by updating this
posting without advance notice to you. Such revisions shall be
effective to you immediately upon posting. Therefore, we encourage you
to check this Privacy Policy often.
Cookies/Image
Tags
The use of cookies is an industry standard and they are
currently used on most websites, including this Site. Cookies are a
small text file containing a unique identification number that is
transferred from a website to the hard drive of a user's computer so
that the website administrator or a third party operational service
provider may identify the computer and passively track the user's
activities on the website. Image tags work in conjunction with cookies
and are small image files that may be located on select pages of our
Site, or with-in web-based email newsletters that we may send. (Image
tags are also called web beacons, web bugs, clear GIFs or single-pixel
GIFs.) Tracking is important because we can better understand what
parts of our website are used the most, when to launch new services and
how to enhance current offerings. We may share the information we
receive from cookies and image tags with third-parties and our
Advertisers in aggregate form, which means that such information does
not contain specific Personal Information or Sensitive Personal
Information about any one visitor.
In short, cookies and image tags collect a user's Internet
protocols and server information. Such data files allow our Site to
remember your web browser when you visit our Site and are necessary
tools for quick and efficient access to the Site. A cookie will not
allow the Site to learn any Personal Information (such as your real
name and email address) or Sensitive Personal Information that you have
not otherwise disclosed. Cookies and image tags allow the Site to
remember important information that will make the Site easier for you
to use and helpful in our administration of various activities. We do
not use cookies or image tags to collect other Personal Information or
Sensitive Personal Information unless you give us permission to do so.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a
cookie or image tag is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all
such devices. This is done through your browser. If you turn cookies
off, you may not have access to many features at our Site that make
your Internet experience more efficient and enjoyable - like the
features mentioned above - and some of our other services will not
function properly.
ADVERTISING
AND OTHER THIRD PARTY CONTENT
This Privacy Policy does not cover third party advertising or
third party content that may be present on the Site. This Site may
provide banner and general advertising, in addition to other content
provided by our Advertisers or operational service providers. Users may
from time to time purchase goods or services offered through, or
otherwise participate in or send messages concerning such advertising,
promotions or third party content offered through the Site. Such
correspondence, transactions and agreements are solely between the user
and the Advertiser or the third party content provider and do not
involve the Site. Also, Advertisers and such third party content
providers may not have the same privacy policies that we do and you are
encouraged to read their privacy policy first.
HYPER
LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES
This Site often provides links to third party websites that
could be of interest to our users, including the websites of our
Advertisers. The Operators do not own or control these websites and
therefore, are not responsible for the content, business practices, nor
operations of such websites. Third party websites linked on this Site
may have different privacy policies and business practices than we do.
The presence of a link to a third party website does not constitute or
imply our endorsement, recommendation, or sponsorship of the third
party content, goods, or services available through, or contained on,
the Site. By use of this Site, you have agreed that you will use the
hyperlinks to third party sites at your own risk.
Correct/Update
We give users the option to change and modify information
previously provided, by visiting the "My Account" section of the
website or by submitting your request to Member Support.
