KNPB ONLINE PRIVACY POLICY

KNPB Online is dedicated to protecting the private information of our visitors. From the KNPB homepage to its pages of content produced by our staff and station departments, the “knpb.org” domain remains a safe haven. KNPB, like all PBS affiliated web sites, adheres to a strict policy for ensuring the privacy of your—and your children’s—personally identifiable information (such as full name, address, e-mail address, telephone number and/or other identifiable information) and preserving the integrity of this online medium.

Gathering and Use of Information
 

  • We will not collect personally identifiable information from you, other than what you supply to us on a voluntary basis.
  • In order to participate in some activities, you might be asked to provide some personally identifiable information. This could be in connection with the following:

    • contest or sweepstakes registration
    • subscription registration for sites or services which require subscription (such as e-mail newsletters)
    • requests for membership information to local television stations
    • transactions in shopKNPB or shopPBS
    • content submissions, community postings (i.e., forums or bulletin boards), comments and suggestions, or voting

 

  • KNPB Online will not willfully disclose your personal information to any third party without first receiving your permission.
  • KNPB Online may use your personally identifiable information for activities explained above, for internal and marketing promotional purposes, or when shopKNPB customer mailing lists are made available to carefully screened companies whose products or services might interest individuals who have shopped on the web site (this is the only case where such information is provided to third parties, at your approval).
  • We will always explain the extent of its use at the time you are asked to provide personal information. If you do not want this information to be collected or used by us for these purposes, you can simply "opt out." Under certain circumstances, opting out may prevent your participation in activities for which personal information is needed, as in contests.


Tracking and Use of Cookies


Special computer code allows KNPB Online to track user activity on our site. This computer code, when implemented, is called a "cookie." KNPB Online uses cookie technology through our localization options. At no time will this cookie reveal to others your name, e-mail address, street address, or telephone number (even if you have entered these in other areas of KNPB Online).
