The following Privacy Policy governs the online information
collection practices of KRQE.com ("we" or "us"). Specifically, it
outlines the types of information that we gather about you while
you are using the KRQE.com web site (the "Site") and the ways in
which we use this information. This Privacy Policy, including our
children's privacy statement, does not apply to any information you
may provide to us or that we may collect offline and/or through
other means (for example, at a live event, via telephone, or
through the mail). Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By
visiting and using the Site, you agree that your use of our Site,
and any dispute over privacy, is governed by this Privacy Policy
and our Terms and Conditions. We may need to change our Privacy
Policy at some point in the future, in which case we'll post the
changes to this Privacy Policy on the Site and update the Effective
Date of the policy to reflect the date of the changes. By
continuing to use the Site after we post any such changes, you
accept the Privacy Policy as modified.
How We Collect and Use Information
We may collect and store personal or other information that
you voluntarily supply to us online while using the Site (e.g.,
while on the Site or in responding via email to a feature provided
on the Site).
We also collect and store information that is generated
automatically as you navigate online through the Site. For example,
we may collect information about your computer's connection to the
Internet, which allows us, among other things, to improve the
delivery of our web pages to you and to measure traffic on the
Site. We also may use a standard feature found in browser software
called a "cookie" to enhance your experience with the Site. Cookies
are small files that your web browser places on your hard drive for
record-keeping purposes. By showing how and when visitors use the
Site, cookies help us deliver advertisements, identify how many
unique users visit us, and track user trends and patterns. They
also prevent you from having to re-enter your preferences on
certain areas of the Site where you may have entered preference
information before. The Site also may use web beacons (single-pixel
graphic files also known as "transparent GIFs") to access cookies
and to count users who visit the Site or open HTML-formatted email
messages.
We use the information we collect from you while you are
using the Site in a variety of ways, including using the
information to customize features and advertising that appear on
the Site. We also may provide your information to third parties,
such as service providers, contractors, and advertisers, for a
variety of purposes. We reserve the right to use, and to disclose
to third parties, all of the information collected from and about
you while you are using the Site in any way and for any purpose,
including without limitation, to enable us or a third party to
provide you with information about products and services.
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily make your
personal information available for viewing by third parties online
- for example on message boards, web logs, through email, or in
chat areas - that information can be seen, collected and used by
others besides us. We cannot be responsible for any third-party use
of such information.
Some of our third-party advertisers and ad servers that
place and present advertising on the Site also may collect
information from you via cookies, web beacons or similar
technologies. These third-party advertisers and ad servers may use
the information they collect to help present their advertisements,
to help measure and research the advertisements' effectiveness, or
for other purposes. The use and collection of your information by
these third-party advertisers and ad servers is governed by the
relevant third-party's privacy policy and is not covered by our
Privacy Policy. Indeed, the privacy policies of these third-party
advertisers and ad servers may be different from ours. If you have
any concerns about a third party's use of cookies or web beacons or
use of your information, you should visit that party's web site and
review its privacy policy. The Site also includes links to other
web sites and provides access to products and services offered by
third parties, whose privacy policies we do not control. When you
access another web site or purchase third-party products or
services through the Site, use of any information you provide is
governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are
visiting or the provider of such products or services.
Be aware that we may occasionally release information about
our visitors when release is appropriate to comply with law or to
protect the rights, property or safety of users of the Site or the
public or when we otherwise believe release is appropriate in our
sole discretion. Please also note that as our business grows, we
may buy or sell various assets. In the event that we sell some or
all of our assets, or one or more of our web sites is acquired by
another company, information about our users may be among the
transferred assets. In the event of such a transfer, we cannot
guarantee that this Privacy Policy will continue to govern your
information.
We do not generally keep email correspondence, except for
those emails that relate to the on-air programs or operations of
KXAN-TV. As required by the Federal Communications Commission
("FCC"), if any part of your email correspondence relates to
station programming or operations, we must place such
correspondence in the station's FCC Public Inspection File. The FCC
has also mandated that stations place their Public Inspection Files
on their web sites. Therefore, be informed that your personal
information contained in certain emails, including personal
information knowingly received from a child under the age of
thirteen, will be disclosed to the general public, including, but
not limited to, disclosure on the Site. We request that you not
place any confidential personal information in your email
correspondence to the station that pertains to station programming
or operations. You understand and agree that we are not responsible
for personal information that is disclosed in emails that are made
available to the general public in compliance with FCC regulations.
Children's Privacy Statement
This children's privacy statement explains our practices
with respect to the online collection and use of personal
information from children under the age of thirteen, and provides
important information regarding their rights under federal law with
respect to such information. The Site is not directed to children
under the age of thirteen and we do not knowingly collect
personally identifiable information from children under the age of
thirteen as part of the Site. We screen users who wish to provide
personal information in order to prevent users under the age of
thirteen from providing such information. If we become aware that
we have inadvertently received personally identifiable information
from a user under the age of thirteen as part of the Site, we will
delete such information from our records. If we change our
practices in the future, we will obtain prior, verifiable parental
consent before collecting any personally identifiable information
from children under the age of thirteen as part of the Site.
The provisions of this Privacy Policy relating to the
collection and retention of the personal information of a child
under the age of thirteen do not apply where such information was
submitted as correspondence relating to station programming and
operations.
