WWW.MIX1027FM.COM PRIVACY POLICY
AND YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
WWW.MIX1027FM.COM
(?Site,? ?us,? or ?we?) is the official website for Radio Station WNEW, MIX 102.7, NEW YORK, NY (“Station”). This Site is owned and operated by CBS Radio Inc. (“Owner and Operator”).
Your privacy is very
important to us. Because we gather certain types of personally
identifiable information (?Personal Information?) from users of our
website and for various Station activities, operational and business
purposes, we feel you should know how we collect, use, disclose,
manage, and store the Personal Information that you may voluntarily
provide us and the Personal Information that is collected passively
through the use of cookies or image tags on our website. This Privacy
Policy is a part of the Site?s Terms of Use Agreement,
which is binding on all Site users. This Policy applies only to the
Personal Information collected by this Station and does not cover any
such information collected by its corporate parent(s), affiliates, or
any other company, unless specifically stated.
If you do not
agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not participate in the
Station?s online or off-line activities and services that require you
to provide your Personal Information. (The type of Personal Information
collected is listed below.) This Policy provides information regarding
your choices to either Opt-out or Opt-in when your Personal Information
is used for various promotional and marketing purposes by the Station,
Site, its corporate affiliates, and/or our generous advertisers,
sponsors, or promotional partners (collectively, ?Advertisers?). For
example, for the Station, Site or our corporate affiliates use of your
Personal Information for marketing and promotional purposes, we provide
you with the right to Opt-out. However, the choice for sharing your
Personal Information with Advertisers may be different. Please see
details in the ?Disclosure to Advertisers ? section below.
YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
Residents
of the State of California, under a new provision of the California
Civil Code, have the right to request from companies conducting
business in California a list of all third parties to which the company
has disclosed Personal Information during the preceding year for direct
marketing purposes. Alternatively, the law provides that if the company
has a privacy policy that gives either an Opt-out or Opt-in choice for
use of your Personal Information by third parties (such as advertisers
or affiliated companies) for marketing purposes, the company may
instead provide you with information on how to exercise your disclosure
choice options.
This Station qualifies for the alternative
option; it has a comprehensive privacy policy and provides you with
details on how you may Opt-out or Opt-in to the use of your Personal
Information by third parties for direct marketing purposes. Therefore,
we are not required to maintain or disclose a list of the third parties
that received your Personal Information during the preceding year for
marketing purposes.
If you are a California resident and request
information about how to exercise your third party disclosure choices
you must send a request to the following address with a preference on
how our response to your request should be sent (email or postal mail).
You may contact us in two ways. Send email to Privacy Administrator at WEBMASTER@WNEW.COM.. Alternatively, you may contact the Station at:

Unless
specified otherwise on the Site, all users must be at least 18 years of
age and a legal resident of the United States to participate in any
activity that requires the submission of Personal Information. This
Site is designed and targeted to United States (U.S.) audiences and is
governed by and operated in accordance with the laws of the United
States. We make no representation that this Site is operated in
accordance with the laws or governed by other nations. By your
participation in our Site activities, you certify that you are at least
18 years of age and located in the U.S. If you are located in the
European Union or elsewhere outside of the U.S. and you participate in
activities on this Site contrary to our policy that only U.S. residents
are eligible for certain activities, you do so at your own risk and
initiative, and are responsible for compliance with any applicable
local laws. Please be aware that any Personal Information you transfer
to us will be transferred to the U.S and subject to U.S. law. By using
this Site, participating in any Site activities, and/or providing us
with your Personal Information, you consent to this transfer of
Personal Information to the U.S., and waive any claims that may arise
under your own national laws. All users of the Site are required to
provide true, current, complete and accurate Personal Information when
prompted and we will reject and delete any entry that we believe in
good faith to be false, fraudulent, or inconsistent with this Privacy
Policy.
Your continued participation on this Site indicates
your acceptance of this Privacy Policy and of the collection, use,
disclosure, management and storage of your Personal Information as
described below. We may from time to time, transfer or merge any
Personal Information collected off-line to our online databases or
store off-line information in an electronic format. We may also combine
Personal Information we collect online with information available from
other sources, including information received from Advertisers, or
marketing companies. This Privacy Policy covers all such Personal
Information and will remain in full force and effect as long as you are
a user of the Site or a participant in Station activities. We reserve
the right to revise this policy at any time by updating this posting
without advance notice to you. Such revisions shall be effective to you
immediately upon posting. Therefore, we encourage you to check this
Privacy Policy often.
GENERAL PRIVACY GUIDELINES
We
use your Personal Information to provide you with the features,
services, or goods you request and to respond to billing and/or other
such questions related to the Station or Site. We will also use your
Personal Information to notify you about updates, new features,
programming and activities on behalf of the Station, Site, or our
Advertisers that may be of interest to you. (We explain below in the
next section what our policy is for the collection, use and disclosure
of Personal Information to Advertisers.)
We may also use your
information for hiring, operational and business purposes, or to find
out how we can improve our Station and Site via surveys or online
tracking mechanisms. We use aggregate Personal Information to help us
to evaluate and modify existing services and features. We also use your
Personal Information to develop new services and features that may be
of interest to you.
We will not sell, exchange, rent, lease or
otherwise disclose your Personal Information or Sensitive Personal
Information to other third party marketers or any such persons that are
not associated with the Station as Advertisers unless it is necessary
to: 1) conform to regulatory and legal requirements or to comply with
legal process; 2) to protect the safety and security of our users,
employees, or property; 3) to defend the rights of the Site or the
Station; or 4) to enforce the Terms of Use Agreement.
We will
share your Personal Information with our corporate parents, Infinity
Broadcasting Corporation (?Infinity?) or Viacom Inc. (?Viacom?) and
affiliated entities primarily for business and operational purposes. On
occasion, we will share your Personal Information with Infinity or
Viacom-related corporate entities for promotional and marketing
purposes. We will inform you when we conduct cross-promotional events
between our various stations or companies, and you will have the right
to Opt-out of such use.
It is also necessary that we share
your Personal Information and Sensitive Personal Information with our
operational service providers, the specialists that provide internal
support to Station operations and activities and/or for Site design,
development, hosting and operations including maintenance, management,
storage and/or fulfillment of our membership and e-mail clubs, various
contests, sweepstakes, services, events and online stores. We use
operational service providers to efficiently provide the full range of
content, activities and membership services we bring to you and we
request that our operational service providers also protect your
privacy and not disclose your Personal Information or Sensitive
Personal Information to third party marketers that are not associated
with the Station or website. Additionally, such providers are not to
use your personal Information for their own marketing or promotional
purposes.
In the event that the assets or stock of the
Station, its corporate licensee or parent company(s) are sold or
transferred, merged with a different company or entity, restructured,
or subject to other fundamental corporate changes, we reserve the right
to disclose any and all databases compiled from Personal Information or
Sensitive Personal Information collected by the Station to such
successor. We will seek to obligate the Station?s successor to agree to
the terms of the Privacy Policy, as it may hereafter be modified, but
cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so or that the successor
company will comply with this obligation.
We reserve the right
to collect Personal Information using any new technology yet to be
developed and to use such technology to provide new services and
features to you, as well as for marketing and promotional purposes.
Specific information regarding your choice to Opt-in or to Opt-out to
such use, or for sharing your Personal Information with Advertisers,
will be provided once the new technology, service, or feature is
introduced.
WEBSITE COLLECTION, USE, AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Generally,
you may browse this Site without providing any Personal Information.
For certain activities (such as contest and sweepstakes registrations,
membership, awards points and loyal listener clubs, music sampling and
surveys, news/sports/weather alerts, nominations for civic or Best
Teacher/Coach awards, or registration for chat rooms and message
boards) the Personal Information you voluntarily provide may include
your first/middle and last name, home address, business address, email
address, telephone number, mobile phone/text messaging device number,
birth date, gender, employer or personal preferences, depending on the
activity.
Unless stated otherwise, we do not request contact
information for a mobile phone, text messaging or any wireless device
that includes a domain name address (such as ?.net? or ?.com?) as part
of the contact information. Federal law prohibits the sending of
commercial email messages directly to a wireless device that uses a
domain name, unless you have first given your affirmative consent. We
may inadvertently collect a wireless device number that includes a
domain name when you send us an inquiry or register for a contest or
membership club. However, we will not knowingly use that contact
information for sending commercial email. We reserve the right to
respond to user inquiries or requests sent via a wireless device that
uses a domain name as such messages are not deemed to be commercial
email and therefore, are not regulated by Federal law. However, when
?computer to phone? commercial emails are prohibited by law, we may
reject your wireless device contact information when such information
is submitted for certain Site features or services. We will attempt to
notify you if we will need new contact information.
For specific
purposes (such as the purchase of goods and services) we may request a
type of confidential personally identifiable information which shall be
called ?Sensitive Personal Information? and is defined as any
individual?s: (1) social security number; (2) driver?s license number
or state identification card number; or (3) account number, credit or
debit card number, in combination with any required security code,
access code or password that would permit access to an individual?s
financial account. This Sensitive Personal Information will only be
used to implement the specific activity or event it was submitted for.
We will not share your Sensitive Personal Information with Advertisers.
However,
more general Personal Information will be used to implement the
specific activity or event and will also be used for the marketing of
additional events, services and merchandising for this Site and the
Station.
DISCLOSURE TO ADVERTISERS
Advertising
support allows us to offer, free of charge, many great activities and
services to our users such as contests, sweepstakes and special events.
Therefore, we may also use your Personal Information for the marketing
of events, products or services of our generous Advertisers. There are
two ways users may receive such information from Advertisers, either
indirectly via newsletters, email or direct mail from the Site, or
directly from the Advertiser. We may use one or both methods depending
on the activity and the Advertiser.
When we plan to share
your Personal Information with Advertisers, you will receive such
notice on the Site, in the rules of participation (?Rules of
Participation?) for the activity or event, or via an email notice.
However, please be informed that our Advertisers may not have the same
privacy policies that we do. Therefore, we will ask you for your
consent first to receive marketing information directly from our
Advertisers. You will need to check the ?Opt-in? click boxes that may
be located on the registration area for the particular activity or
event, in an email, or notify the Site?s Privacy Administrator at WEBMASTER@WNEW.COM.
However, if you do not wish to receive marketing or promotional
materials from the Site and/or Station, you will need to tell us so by
clicking the ?Opt-Out? click boxes that may be included on the
registration area for the particular event, or alternatively, notify
the Site?s Privacy Administrator. Please note that this notification
process is different than the one for Advertisers.
We also
provide you with an option to ?Opt-out? of receiving advertising and
promotional email from us in compliance with federal law by installing
an Opt-out mechanism with all such email messages. You must use the
designated method in the email message to notify us of your Opt-out
request, as we cannot guarantee that other methods of notification will
be effective or timely. Please be aware that we may continue to contact
you via email for administrative or informational purposes, including
follow-up messages regarding contests you have entered or other
transactions you have undertaken. By law, such messages are not
considered to be commercial email.
We are not responsible for
removing your Personal Information from third party lists or entities
which you have previously authorized us to share your information. You
will need to contact those entities directly.
COOKIES AND IMAGE TAGS
Cookies will also be used by certain Advertisers and other entities featured on the
Site to monitor and track your usage of the Site, number of visits, or the number of times that you
have reviewed an ad or other features, so that we may customize your visit based on your personal interests.
For example, this Site uses DoubleClick as our ad-serving partner; Double Click may place or recognize a unique
cookie on your browser for select advertisements. However, this use of cookies does not collect any Personal
Information such as your name or email address. For more information about DoubleClick, cookies, and how
to “opt-out” of such cookies, please click here.
http://www.doubleclick.net/us/corporate/privacy.
You should be aware that different rules might apply to the collection, use or disclosure of your Personal
Informationby other third parties in connection with their advertisements, promotions and other websites you
encounter on the Internet. The use of cookies and other technology by these third parties is within their
control and not ours. Even if we have a relationship with the third party, we do not control those sites or
their policies and practices regarding your Personal Information.This Privacy Policy does not cover any use
of Personal Information that a third party or an Advertiser may collect from you. We encourage you to investigate
and ask questions directly of them in this regard. Also see our section called “ADVERTISING, OTHER THIRD PARTY CONTENT AND HYPERLINKS.”
CHILDREN?S PRIVACY POLICY
Although
persons of all ages may visit our Site and participate in activities
that do not require the collection of Personal Information or Sensitive
Personal Information, we do not knowingly or intentionally collect
Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information from children
under the age of 13. Except for the limited circumstances listed below,
we will automatically reject and delete the registration or entry of
any person we believe in good faith to be underage. Any false or
fraudulent registration or entry from a minor will be deemed to be
ineligible and will disqualify the minor from the receipt of a prize,
benefit, or other participation.
Except to meet Federal
Communications Commission (?FCC?), or other regulatory and legal
purposes, we will not use, store, or disclose any child?s Personal
Information to a third party without prior parental consent.
This
Site has a special section designed for children or may have contests
and prizes that could appeal to children. However, we do not knowingly
or intentionally collect personal Information from children. If we
unintentionally receive Personal Information from children under the
age of 13 in relation to this activity, we will comply with the
Children?s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (?COPPA?) and reject
and destroy such correspondence upon knowledge of such collection,
except for the limited circumstances above. For more information about
COPPA, please see the Federal Trade Commission?s website: www.ftc.gov
EMAIL
We
do not generally keep email correspondence, except for those emails
that relate to the on-air programs or operations of 1010 WINS. As
required by the 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, or make the correspondence
available via electronic file access at the Station to anyone that
requests such information. Therefore, be informed that your Personal
Information or Sensitive 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. (Please see our Children?s Privacy Policy section for details.)
We request that you not place any Sensitive 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 Sensitive Personal Information that is improperly
disclosed in emails that are made available to the general public in
compliance with FCC regulations.
SHOPPING & E-COMMERCE
If
this Site sells goods and/or services or provides auction services we
will request Sensitive Personal Information that includes your credit
card, debit card or other payment information. Alternatively, the Site
may use a third party operational service provider to conduct the
financial transaction in a secured manner; the third party payment will
be accessible via a hyperlink from the Site and will be solely
responsible for all financial transactions and the collection, use, and
storage of your Personal Information. The Site may request additional
Personal Information such as full name, billing and shipping address,
email address and telephone number and any such information that is
required to fulfill your order and to communicate with you regarding
your order. Sensitive Personal Information will be encrypted or
collected though a secured Internet connection generally via SSL or
S-HTTP protocols. Such Sensitive Personal Information will also be
stored in a commercially reasonable secure manner. We may use your
Personal Information, (but not your credit card or debit card number)
to contact you about future products, services and discounts from the
Station or to provide such information indirectly from our Advertisers,
unless you tell us otherwise (?Opt-out?). We will only use your credit
card and debit card number to complete the specific transaction you
requested.
CHAT ROOMS, MESSAGE BOARDS AND PUBLIC AREAS
For
your enjoyment and entertainment, this Site offers user interactive
activities such as chat rooms, message boards, and/or public forums
(?Public Areas?). We do not share any Personal Information or Sensitive
Personal Information that is entered into the Public Area registration
section on the Site with Advertisers.
We reserve the right, at
our sole discretion, to save and archive any content of any nature
posted to the Site and that we may, without liability to any user: 1)
disclose such content if required to do so by law or to comply with
legal processes; 2) to respond to claims that any of the content
violates the property, privacy, publicity or other rights of others; or
3) to protect the rights, property or safety of the Site, the Station,
its employees, users and members of the public. For more information on
this Site?s rules of conduct for these Public Areas, please see our Terms of Use Agreement
MONITORING AND USE OF AGGREGATE PERSONAL INFORMATION
We
reserve the right to monitor and edit any Personal Information about
our users, including information about the use of website activities
and services, the contents of users? email and messages for internal
purposes, and when necessary, to disclose to law enforcement personnel,
and/or the employer and/or Internet Service Provider of a user that is
not in compliance with the Terms of Use Agreement or Privacy Policy. We
will take such measures if we believe it is necessary to protect the
security, integrity, and operations of this Site or Station. Without
disclosure of Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information
about individual users, we may provide aggregate statistics about our
users, traffic patterns and related website information to Advertisers,
reputable third party vendors or marketing companies.
ADVERTISING AND OTHER THIRD PARTY CONTENT
This
Privacy Policy does not cover third party advertising or third party
content that may be present on the Site. This Site may provide banner
and general advertising, in addition to other content provided by our
Advertisers or operational service providers. Users may from time to
time purchase goods or services offered through, or otherwise
participate in or send messages concerning such advertising, promotions
or third party content offered through the Site. Such correspondence,
transactions and agreements are solely between the user and the
Advertiser or the third party content provider and do not involve the
Site. Also, Advertisers and such third party content providers may not
have the same privacy policies that we do and you are encouraged to
read their privacy policy first.
HYPER LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES
This
Site often provides links to third party websites that could be of
interest to our users, including the websites of our Advertisers. As
stated in our Terms of Use Agreement, the Station does not own or
control these websites and therefore, is not responsible for the
content, business practices, nor operations of such websites. Third
party websites linked on this Site may have different privacy policies
and business practices than we do. The presence of a link to a third
party website does not constitute or imply our endorsement,
recommendation, or sponsorship of the third party content, goods, or
services available through, or contained on, the Site. By use of this
Site, you have agreed that you will use the hyperlinks to third party
sites at your own risk.
USER CONDUCT
The
Station also collects and uses Personal Information by other means, via
on-air broadcasts, telephone, direct mail, and direct from members of
the public. The various uses of such Personal Information include, but
are not limited to, contests & sweepstakes, loyal listener club
registration, other special membership only features/events, news-tip
lines, job applications, listener complaints, and operational and
business purposes.
Except for contests & sweepstakes entries, or
registrations for a loyal listener or other special membership
features/events, we do not ordinarily use your Personal Information
collected off-line for promotional or advertising purposes, nor do we
share it with third parties for promotional or marketing purposes. If
Personal Information collected off-line will be used by the Station,
its parent company(s), or corporate affiliates for promotional and
marketing purposes, you will have the opportunity to Opt-out of such
use. If such information will be shared with Advertisers, you will have
the same rights as provided for the disclosure of Personal Information
collected online. (Please see the ?Website Collection, Use, and
Disclosure of Personal Information? section.)
SECURITY MEASURES
We
conduct the collection, management, maintenance and storage of listener
or website user information in a secure and commercially reasonable
manner using acceptable industry standards of security technology and
practices (such as electronic security systems and password
protections) to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of
Personal Information. We also request that our operational service
providers take such precautions. 1010 WINS databases are accessible
only by authorized personnel.
However, please note that when
users transmit Personal Information over an unsecured Internet
connection, the Site is not responsible for the security of that
information during the transmission stage as your email or registration
could be copied or intercepted by unknown third parties. We use a
secured connection only for the collection of Sensitive Personal
Information, which is necessary for the purchase of goods or services,
but we do not use a secured connection for other types of activities.
Therefore, you understand, acknowledge, and agree that you transmit
certain Personal Information over this Site at your own risk.
REVIEW, UPDATE, CORRECT, OR DELETE PERSONAL INFORMATION OR SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION
Generally,
you may review, update or delete your Personal Information or Sensitive
Personal Information collected by the Site. You may also correct
factual inaccuracies. Certain types of Personal Information that are
necessary to check eligibility, such as birth date or age, cannot be
deleted, but may be modified with sufficient verification of the new
information. Note that we reserve the right to terminate or delete any
membership or entry if we believe the Personal Information submitted
was knowingly false or fraudulent.
To review, update or delete
your Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information collected
by the Site, please email the Site?s Privacy Administrator at WEBMASTER@WNEW.COM.
To have access to your Personal Information or Sensitive Personal
Information, you must provide proof of identification such as full
name, street address, city/state and zip code, user ID and password,
and/or information about your recent activity on the website. We
reserve the right to deny access to any user if we believe there is a
question about your identity. And if the burden or expense of providing
access to your Personal Information is disproportionate to the risks to
your privacy, or if the legitimate rights of others would be violated,
we may decide not to provide access to such information. In such cases,
we will provide to you an explanation of why access cannot be provided
and a contact person for further inquiries.
This Privacy Policy was last updated on July 25, 2006 and is effective immediately.
