Collection of your Personal Information
WRAT collects personally identifiable
information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or
telephone number. WRAT also collects anonymous demographic information, which
is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences,
interests and favorites.
There is also information about your
computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by WRAT. This
information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access
times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by WRAT for
the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to
provide general statistics regarding use of the WRAT Web site.
Please keep in mind that if you directly
disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data
through WRAT public message boards, this information may be collected and used
by others. Note: WRAT does not read any of your private online communications.
WRAT encourages you to review the privacy
statements of Web sites you choose to link to from WRAT so that you can
understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. WRAT is
not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites
outside of the WRAT and WRAT family of Web sites.
Use of your Personal Information
WRAT collects and uses your personal
information to operate the WRAT Web site and deliver the services you have
requested. WRAT also uses your personally identifiable information to inform
you of other products or services available from WRAT and its affiliates. WRAT
may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of
current services or of potential new services that may be offered.
WRAT does not sell, rent or lease its
customer lists to third parties. WRAT may, from time to time, contact you on
behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of
interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable
information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the
third party. In addition, WRAT may share data with trusted partners to help us
perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer
support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from
using your personal information except to provide these services to WRAT, and
they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
WRAT does not use or disclose sensitive
personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations,
without your explicit consent.
WRAT keeps track of the Web sites and pages
our customers visit within WRAT, in order to determine what WRAT services are
the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and
advertising within WRAT to customers whose behavior indicates that they are
interested in a particular subject area.
WRAT Web sites will disclose your personal information,
without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief
that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or
comply with legal process served on WRAT or the site; (b) protect and defend
the rights or property of WRAT; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to
protect the personal safety of users of WRAT, or the public.
Disclosure
to Advertisers
Advertising
support allows WRAT to offer many activities and services to users such as
contests, sweepstakes and special events.
Therefore, WRAT may also share your personal information with its
Advertisers for the marketing of events, products or services of the
Advertisers. When WRAT plans to share
your personal information with Advertisers, you will receive such notice on the
registration area of the Web site or in the rules of participation for the
activity or event. However, please be
informed that our Advertisers may not have the same privacy policies that WRAT
does. Therefore, WRAT will ask
you for your consent first to receive marketing information directly from our
Advertisers in the registration area for the particular activity or event. By submitting your personal information, you
agree and acknowledge that your personal information may be sent to Advertisers
for marketing purposes. WRAT is not
responsible for removing your personal information from third party lists or
entities which you have previously authorized WRAT to share your information. You will need to contact those entities
directly.
Use of Cookies
The WRAT Web site uses "cookies"
to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is
placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run
programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to
you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie
to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to
provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to
tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if
you personalize WRAT pages, or register with WRAT site or services, a cookie
helps WRAT to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This
simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing
addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same WRAT Web
site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can
easily use the WRAT features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline
cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually
modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to
decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive
features of the WRAT services or Web sites you visit.
Marketing Via Mobile Devices
WRAT
may provide commercial marketing and advertising opportunities,
contests/sweepstakes, and alerts for news, sports, and weather delivered via
mobile devices. You must subscribe to a
mobile service or request that we send such information to you via a text
message or a wireless voice call.
Depending on the type of mobile subscription service, you will be asked
to submit your name, age or date of birth, mobile telephone number, and/or
standard email address. WRAT does not
request submission of a wireless email address and if we collect such
information inadvertently for a marketing or advertising opportunity, we will
attempt to notify you and request a standard mobile telephone number that does
not have a wireless domain name attached to it.
You have the right to opt-out of any mobile service in the same manner
in which you registered or by notifying us at admin@greatermedianewjersey.biz.
Security of your Personal Information
WRAT uses commercially reasonable efforts to
secure your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.
WRAT secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer
servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized
access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card
number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of
industry-standard encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
protocol. Unfortunately, no data
transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your
personal information, WRAT cannot ensure or warrant the security of any
information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
Children
WRAT does not solicit any personal
information from children under the age of 13.
WRAT encourages families to obtain additional information about safe use
of the Internet at http://www.ftc.gov/kidzprivacy/.
Changes to this Statement
WRAT will occasionally update this Privacy
Statement to reflect company and customer feedback. WRAT encourages you to
periodically review this Statement to be informed of how WRAT is protecting
your information. Your continued use of
the WRAT Web Site following the posting of any changes to this Statement
constitutes acceptance of those changes.
Contact Information
WRAT welcomes your comments regarding this Privacy Statement. If you believe that WRAT has not adhered to this Statement, please contact WRAT at admin@greatermedianewjersey.biz. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly determine and remedy the problem.
