This privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") describes WIBC-AM
privacy practices for our Web site located at www.wibc.com (our
"Site"), including what types of information we gather
and track, how we use the information, and with whom we share
the information. By using the Site, you agree to be bound by the
terms of this Privacy Policy and by the Terms of Use. We may change
this Privacy Policy at any time by posting revisions to the Site,
and your continued use of the Site indicates your agreement to
the revised terms. Accordingly, we urge you to frequently review
this Privacy Policy, and, if you do not agree to the terms of
this or any revised policy, please exit the Site immediately.
Children (persons under the age of 13) are not eligible to use
the Site without the supervision of their parents. If you are
under the age of 13 please do not submit any personal information
to us or use any function of the Site, including the Forums, that
require the disclosure of personal information. If you are under
the age of 13 please only use this Site under the supervision
of your parents or guardian. If you are under 13, please do not
provide us with any information about yourself. If we discover
that we have collected any Personally Identifiable Information
regarding a child 12 or under we will delete the information as
soon as possible.
WIBC-AM may collect two types of information about you: Personally
Identifiable Information and Aggregate Information that is anonymous
(such as your IP address - a number used to identify your computer
when you are on the Internet - or the type of browser you are
using).
Personally Identifiable Information: "Personally Identifiable
Information" refers to information that lets us know the
specifics of who you are and can be used to identify, contact
or locate you (such as your name, address, telephone number and
e-mail address). You can visit our Site without telling us who
you are and without revealing any information about yourself.
You may be required to register or otherwise voluntarily provide
Personally Identifiable Information to have access to some features
of the Site. You always may choose not to provide the Personally
Identifiable Information, but this may lead to decreased functionality
of the Site for you and our inability to provide you with certain
products or services. We also may request you to voluntarily provide
Personally Identifiable Information that is not required to access
features of our site. This information enables WIBC-AM to make
general improvements to the Site and better serve your specific
interests.
Aggregate Information: WIBC-AM may transparently collect Aggregate
Information through the use of cookies or by other means. We use
this information to assess general usage patterns, administer
and make improvements to the Site and collect demographic information
useful in some way to WIBC-AM and our business partners. We hope
that by using Aggregate Information, we can update the Site to
make it more useful to you and other users. We, and our business
partners, reserve the right to use, maintain, update, disclose
and/or sell Aggregate Information.
WIBC-AM uses information generally to compile statistical data,
keep in contact with users and provide them with a better interactive
experience.
We may use your information specifically for the following purposes:
to provide easy access every time you return to the Site without
requiring re-entry of registration information; to keep you informed
about products and services in which you may have interest; to
complete business transactions; to contact you as part of a promotion;
to allow you to make a posting on the Site; to administer individual
accounts; to provide customer support; to meet legal requirements;
to provide Internet security; and/or to analyze the collected
information. In the event of a merger, consolidation, or sale
or transfer of all or substantially all of our assets or business,
one of the assets transferred may include the information we collect
about our users.
We also reserve the right to collect Personally Identifiable Information
about you when you sign up for our Forums. We will collect this
information to ensure compliance with our Forum rules.
WIBC-AM works closely with our business partners and certain other
third parties who may perform functions on our behalf, such as
fulfilling orders, providing promotional materials to our users,
sending e-mail, managing data, processing credit card payments
or providing customer service. They have access to your Personally
Identifiable Information only to the extent necessary to perform
their functions and may not use it for any other purpose. Further,
these business partners and other third parties may from time
to time wish to extend special offers to you on their own behalf.
We may use your Personally Identifiable Information to assist
our business partners in offering you these products, services
and information and may act as an intermediary (for instance,
sending you e-mail on their behalf).
We cooperate with law enforcement inquiries, as well as other
efforts to enforce laws. We may also disclose Personally Identifiable
Information in response to legal process, such as a court order
or subpoena, or to protect the Site, hosted sites or users of
these sites. We may also disclose Personally Identifiable Information
in response to a request by law enforcement if there is an investigation
of criminal conduct or other illegal activity. In most cases you
may not receive notice of this disclosure to law enforcement.
Therefore, we cannot promise, nor should you expect that, communications
you make will always remain private.
Other than for the specific purposes set forth in this Privacy
Policy, we will not disclose your Personally Identifiable Information
to any third parties unless we obtain your prior consent or are
legally compelled to do so. In addition, we will not contact you
without your permission except as specified above or in connection
with the registration process. On the Site, you will be given
the opportunity to opt out of receiving e-mails or other information
from WIBC-AM. If you have questions about how your personally
identifiable information is used, please contact us.
We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you
visit the Site. These companies may use information (not including
your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your
visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements
on this Site and other sites about goods and services that may
be of interest to you. If you would like more information about
this practice and to know your choices about not having this information
used by these companies, click here.
When you visit the Site, we or a third-party advertiser may store
or recognize some information on your computer in the form of
a "cookie" or similar file that can help us in many
ways. For example, cookies allow us to tailor the Site to better
match your interests and preferences. With most Internet browsers
or other software, you can erase cookies from your computer hard
drive, block all cookies or receive a warning before a cookie
is stored. Please refer to your browser instructions or help screen
to learn more about these functions. If you reject cookies, functionality
of the Site may be severely limited, and you may not be able to
take advantage of many of the Site's best features.
The Site features forums (such as message boards and chat rooms),
which enable our users to communicate with each other. We do not
moderate and are not responsible for the content which you or
any user posts on any forum on the Site. All Personally Identifiable
Information you post in a forum may be viewed, collected and used
by any visitor to the Site and is beyond our control. Therefore,
WIBC-AM strongly recommends that you do not post on any forum
private information about yourself or other individuals.
The Site contains links to sites operated by our business partners
and other third parties. Once you leave the Site, you may or may
not see a new URL in the location bar. Please review the linked
site's privacy policies, and if you do not agree to be bound by
the terms of the policies governing that site, terminate your
visit to that site. We are not responsible for the privacy policies
and practices of the sites operated by our business partners or
other third parties.
Any unauthorized use of the Site may result in criminal and/or
civil prosecution. We have reasonable policies and procedures
in place to protect the privacy and confidentiality of your information
that we collect and maintain. All Personally Identifiable Information
is stored on our secured servers, behind a firewall at a data
center with access to data strictly controlled. To help ensure
the privacy of your information, we urge you not to share your
user name and password with anyone and recommend that you change
your password frequently and store it in a safe place. If you
are asked to create a user name or password, please select words
that do not personally identify you.
The Site offers "auto login" which allows users to
enter member areas of the Site without re-entering password information.
You may want to disable auto login on your "Set Up"
page if you are not the only person using your computer.
You should note that while we take steps to protect your privacy
and security there is no "perfect security" on the Internet
and by disclosing information there is a chance that the information
may be intercepted or become public.
