Privacy Policies
· Information Collection -
When you browse any Lakes Media radio station Web site, you do so
anonymously. Personal information -- including your e-mail address --
is not automatically collected. Some of our Web sites, however, 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, zip code, birth date or
other information. Other optional information may be asked
(listener/customer preference information, mailing address, telephone
numbers, lifestyle interests, and other demographic information).
Like many other commercial
Web sites, some Lakes Media web sites 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.
· 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 WKSK-FM, 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 Site; 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 radio station is
involved in a sale of a substantial portion of our business assets,
listener/customer 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 radio stations bring you.
As a result of providing personal information, Lakes Media radio stations
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 - Lakes Media provides
listeners/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 an Lakes Media radio station. · Other Activity
Tracking Some radio stations do 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 Lakes Media does not knowingly
solicit data from children, and we will not knowingly market to
children. Lakes Media adheres to COPPA - the Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act. Our websites are general audience websites which are
not directed to children generally, including children under the age
of 13. It is our policy to discard any information which 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 Lakes Media radio stations have separate privacy and data
collection practices, independent of us. Lakes Media 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, Lakes Media 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. Lakes
Media
reserves the right to alter, amend or supplement the privacy standards
at anytime.
