Privacy Policy
The following discloses our information gathering and
dissemination practices for Woods Communications, Inc., Web
properties.
Privacy Policies
Information Collection - When you browse Fox20.com, you do so
anonymously. Personal information -- including your e-mail address
-- is not automatically collected. We may request that you
voluntarily supply us with personal information, including your
e-mail address for purposes of participating in correspondence,
site registration, streaming player registration, membership,
making a purchase, contests, online surveys, to contact you as part
of a promotion, to meet legal requirements, to keep you informed
about products and services in which you may have an interest,
and/or to analyze the collected information and use this data for
contacts by research firms. For these types of activities we may
require your name, e-mail address, gender, zipcode, birthdate or
other information. Other optional information may be asked
(visitors/members/customers preference information, mailing
address, telephone numbers, lifestyle interests, and other
demographic information).
Like many other commercial Web sites, we may use a standard
technology called a "cookie" to collect information about how our
site is used. Please read About Cookies below for more information.
We attempt to limit access to visitor/member/customer data to
those who specifically need it to conduct their business with the
company. While we use security techniques designed to protect our
visitors/members/customers data, given constantly changing
technologies that may exist, we do not guarantee the security of
our visitors/members/customers data.
We anonymously track visitor usage of our sites for general
marketing purposes, such as determining what information is of most
and least interest to visitors, and for other purposes such as
determining the site's technical design specifications and
identifying system performance or problem areas.
Information Use
If you provide us with your e-mail address, or have done so
in the past, we may send you e-mail offers, surveys, newsletters or
other types of contacts. These are based on information you
provided in your membership application, registration forms, in
surveys, from information that may indicate purchasing preferences
and lifestyle, as well as information available from external
sources, such as census bureau data.
We use information generally to compile statistical and user
profile data, to perform research using the compiled data including
disclosure of user information to research firms retained by
Fox20.com, to 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 website; to administer individual
accounts; to provide customer support; to meet legal requirements;
to provide Internet security; and/or to analyze the collected
information and use this data for contacts by research firms. Also,
in the event that company or the station is involved in a sale of a
substantial portion of our business assets,
visitors/members/customers information may be among the transferred
assets.
We work 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 personal
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
personal 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).
The data you provide is used to enhance the services and
offers our television station brings to you. As a result of
providing personal information, we can provide a more customized
online experience, making your interaction with us more productive,
helpful and fun. You can also expect to receive occasional
communications targeted directly toward your lifestyle interests.
Declining E-mail Offers – Fox20.com provides
visitors/members/customers with an easy means to decline receiving
e-mail offers and recognizes the importance of providing you with
choices. At any time, you may request to discontinue receiving
these offers from us by simply replying to the e-mail address
included in every e-mail message you receive from us.
Other Activity Tracking - Some websites monitor
click-throughs to URL's found in our email messages. The
click-through rate is reviewed in order to: track participation in
contests in order to judge effectiveness and to award prizes; track
listener interests; track response rates for station marketing
purposes or to report to a client in aggregate form only, the
response of listeners. Individual activity is never shared with
employees or third parties.
Children - Fox20.com does not knowingly solicit data from
children, and we will not knowingly market to children. Fox20.com
adheres to COPPA - the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.
Our website is a general audience website which is not directed to
children generally, including children under the age of 13. It is
our policy to discard any information that is obtained from any
child who is under the age of 13.
What else should I know about my privacy? Third party
Internet sites and services accessible through Fox20.com have
separate privacy and data collection practices, independent of us.
Fox20.com has no responsibility or liability for these independent
policies or actions. In addition, you are solely responsible for
maintaining the secrecy of your passwords, membership ID, or any
account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you
are online. If you post personal information online that is
accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from
other parties in return. While we aim to protect your personal
information, Fox20.com cannot ensure or warrant the security of any
information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
We will make all reasonable efforts to adhere to the above
privacy standards. However, the policy should not be construed as a
contractual undertaking. Additional restrictions may be imposed to
comply with state and local laws, and/or station specific programs,
products and services. Fox20.com reserves the right to alter, amend
or supplement the privacy standards at anytime.
