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.
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 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, Heritage
Media Of Kentucky, Inc and affiliated entities primarily for business and
operational purposes. On occasion, we will share your Personal Information
with Heritage Media Of Kentucky, Inc 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.
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.
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, 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.
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. We
will not share your General Personal Information with Advertisers. Any such
communication will come directly from our company.
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. Additionally, should you choose to “Opt-Out” of receiving
advertising and promotional email from us, your access to our site may be
limited.
The use of cookies is an industry standard and they are currently used on
most websites, including this Site. Cookies are a small text file containing
a unique identification number that is transferred from a website to the
hard drive of a user’s computer so that the website administrator or a third
party operational service provider may identify the computer and passively
track the user’s activities on the website. Image tags work in conjunction
with cookies and are small image files that may be located on select pages
of our Site, or with-in web-based email newsletters that we may send. (Image
tags are also called web beacons, web bugs, clear GIFs or single-pixel GIFs.)
Tracking is important because we can better understand what parts of our
website are used the most, when to launch new services and how to enhance
current offerings. We may share the information we receive from cookies and
image tags with third-parties and our Advertisers in aggregate form, which
means that such information does not contain specific Personal Information
or Sensitive Personal Information about any one visitor.
In short, cookies and image tags collect a user’s Internet protocols and
server information. Such data files allow our Site to remember your web
browser when you visit our Site and are necessary tools for quick and
efficient access to membership clubs, awards programs and contests. A cookie
will not allow the Site to learn any Personal Information (such as your real
name and email address) or Sensitive Personal Information that you have not
otherwise disclosed. Cookies and image tags allow the Site to remember
important information that will make the Site easier for you to use and
helpful in our administration of various activities. We do not use cookies
or image tags to collect other Personal Information or Sensitive Personal
Information unless you give us permission to do so.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie or image
tag is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all such devices. This is
done through your browser. If you turn cookies off, you may not have access
to many features at our Site that make your Internet experience more
efficient and enjoyable – like the features mentioned above – and some of
our other services will not function properly.
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
We do not generally keep email correspondence, except for those emails that
relate to the on-air programs or operations of WKHG-FM and WMTL-AM. 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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.)
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.
Heritage Media Of Kentucky, Inc 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.
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@K105.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 March 12, 2005 and is effective
immediately.
