Privacy
policy
We believe you have a right to know what personal information
is collected during your visits to our web site – wfhr.com – and how the information
is used and safeguarded. You can view most of our content anonymously, but
circumstances exist when information about you is collected. The information
gathered falls into two categories: information you supply voluntarily and
information we gather through technology.
Information
you supply voluntarily
To use certain features and services on our web site, you
may be asked to provide specific information about yourself. Examples of such
features and services include submitting information for broadcast on the
air, entering contests, starting an email or paper newsletter subscription,
contacting us about a customer service problem, contacting us with question
on programming or subscribing to an email notifier. This information is collected
when you fill out a browser-based form and is necessary to make the features
useful and valuable. The forms have blank spaces into which you type the information.
In most cases, we collect information such as your name, email address, telephone
number, birth date and mailing address.
How we
use information you supply voluntarily
We use the information you voluntarily supply to complete
transactions or to communicate with you. For example, if you submit items or
information for broadcast, we use your information to process and confirm your
information. If you contact us for help, we use the information to contact you
with a resolution to your problem or answer to your question. If you enter a
contest, we use the information to determine eligibility and to contact
winners.
Information
gathered through technology
Technology helps us gather other information. Our web servers
may automatically collect limited information about your computer’s connection
to the Internet, including your IP address, which is usually associated with
the place from which you enter the Internet. You likely enter the Internet
through your Internet service provider, your company or your school. Your
IP address does not identify you personally. Your email address is not collected
through this process, and no data on your hard drive or personal or institutional
servers are read.
We also may collect aggregate information on how many people
visit our sites and what pages people access on our sites. We do not track
the specific pages that you or any individual access on our sites. Some of
this information may be gathered using a standard feature of browser software
called a “cookie.” The cookie does not identify you or other individual users.
It merely identifies the computer you use. A cookie cannot read data on your
hard drive or server or gather other personal information about you such as
your name or email address.
How we
use information gathered through technology
The information gathered through technology helps us make
our sites more interesting and useful to you and other visitors. It helps us
evaluate the value of and interest in specific sections of our sites. We can
build better sites if we know which pages you and other people visit and how
often you and others visit those pages.
Sharing
information with other parties
Personal information you voluntarily provide is used for
internal purposes only and is not shared or sold with other businesses or
organizations. Under no circumstances is specific information about you or
other individuals shared with advertisers or other parties without your
permission. Use of certain interactive features, such as submitting a
restaurant review in our online dining guide, a news item, community calendar
or business report item, implies your permission to share your information.
Situations where permission is implied are clearly labeled on the browser-based
forms. We will share personal information with law enforcement officials as
required under subpoena or court order to protect the safety and security of
our sites, our visitors and the community. We do share aggregated statistics on
site visits and page views with advertisers to help them understand our
audience and confirm the value of advertising on our web sites. Personal
information about individuals is not shared with advertisers.
Special
notice to children
Children should always get parental permission before
sending any information about themselves over the Internet – to us or anyone
else. We encourage parents to review and share safety tips with their children
using the Internet.
Notice
regarding other online companies
WFHR may feature our branding. Our web sites also provide
text and graphic links to web sites over which we have no control or responsibility
for content or business practices. This policy statement does not apply to
the web sites of those companies and organizations. Please refer to these
affiliated sites to obtain information on their privacy policies. If you cannot
find the privacy policy of these sites via a link from the site’s home page,
you should contact the business or organization directly for more information.
Our right
to revise this policy
The Internet is an ever-changing medium. We reserve the
right to alter or amend this policy as required by changes in business strategy
or developments in technology. If changes are required, we will post the
changes before they go into effect. The use of information gathered while the
current policy is in effect will be consistent with the current policy, even if
we change the policy later.
