This Web Site’s Privacy Policy
 
This Web Site (the "Web site") provides a variety of online services, from interactive
entertainment to electronic commerce. Because the success of this Web site is
dependent on building and maintaining goodwill with our customers, this Web site
and WAGT, Inc. (hereinafter collectively referred to as "we" or “us” or "our") are
committed to implementing measures designed to protect the privacy of those using
our services. Moreover, we see it as our responsibility to set examples and help
establish the standards for privacy on the Internet.
 
Although we respect the privacy of all those who visit the Web site and use our
online services, we do collect information from our Web site's members and visitors.
This Privacy Policy governs your interaction with the Web site, and your registration
for and use of this station's online services. Except as set forth within this Privacy
Policy and this Web Site's Terms of Service and/or other published guidelines, we do
not release personally identifiable information about this Web site's members and
visitors without their permission.
 
Please note that we review these privacy practices from time to time, and that these
practices are therefore subject to change. We ask that you periodically review this
page to ensure continuing familiarity with the most current version of this Web site's
Privacy Policy. To contact us about privacy issues, to report a violation of this Web
site's Privacy Policy, or to raise any other issue regarding the Web site, please e-mail
 
The information we gather
 
We gather two types of information about this Web site's users:
 
(1) Non-personally identifiable information: When visitors come to the Web site,
we collect and aggregate information indicating, among other things, which pages
were visited, the order in which they were visited, and which hyperlinks were
"clicked." Collecting such information involves the logging of IP addresses, operating
system and browser software used by each visitor to the Web site. Although such
information is not personally identifiable, we can determine from the IP address a
visitor's Internet Service Provider and the geographic location of his or her point of
connectivity.
 
The non-personally identifiable information we collect helps us diagnose problems
with our server, administer the Web site, identify the most popular areas of the Web
site, and determine the effectiveness of our promotional activities. In addition, we
may disclose some of this information to advertisers to inform them of the number of
people who have seen and/or clicked through their advertisements.
 
For the same purposes, we use "cookies"---that is, small text files placed on your
computer's hard drive---to help us determine the type of content and sites to which
you link, the length of time you spend at any particular area of the Web site, and
your usage of our services offered via the Web site. Cookies also tell us which
advertising you have seen on the Web site. At certain times, we may use outside
advertising companies to display advertisements on the Web site that may contain
cookies ("banner ads"). These banner ads collect information stored by the
advertising company and we do not have access to this information.
 
Essentially, cookies are your identification cards for our computers, or servers, that
placed them there. Cookies are only read by the server that placed them, and are
unable to execute any code or virus. Cookies allow us to serve you better and more
efficiently, and to personalize your experience at the Web site. Nevertheless, you are
able to control how and whether cookies will be accepted by your web browser. For
more information on how to do so, please refer to the documentation accompanying
your browser.
 
(2) Personally identifiable information: In certain areas of the Web site, such as
online surveys and contests, the Web site may require that you provide personally
identifiable information (including, for example, zip code, age, income, and e-mail
address, and when applicable, credit card information). SagamoreHill Broadcasting
(SHB), as host of the Web site, has access to this information. In addition, when
registering to set up an account to use certain services of the Web site such as email,
chat rooms, and forums, or to receive certain newsletters or specifically
targeted information ("Services"), we do require that you provide a valid e-mail
address.
 
We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children (defined
herein as minors younger than 13 years of age) without obtaining parental consent.
Before registering for an account to use the Services of the Web site, we ask that all
minors have their parents read our Privacy Policy. Before and during the registration
process, we encourage all minors to include a parent or guardian in the process.
We do not control the acts of this Web site's members or visitors. All members and
visitors should be aware that, when they disclose personally identifiable information
in a bulletin board, chat room, guestbook, or other forum, the information may be
collected and used by others to send that person unsolicited e-mail from other
parties outside this Web site or SHB. In the event that you encounter any user on
this Web site who is improperly collecting or using information about you or other
users, please contact treggwhite@noco5.com.
 
How we use (and do not use) the information we gather
Please take some time to familiarize yourself with the different ways we use the
information that we gather. Keep in mind that, while we encourage all third parties
involved---including affiliates and advertisers---to adhere to our policies regarding
the privacy of this Web site's visitors and members and to otherwise handle personal
information in a responsible manner, we cannot and do not assume any
responsibility for any actions or omissions of third parties, including the manner in
which they use information received either from us or independently. Nevertheless,
in the event you encounter any third party associated with, or who claims association
with us who you feel is improperly collecting or using information about you, please
contact treggwhite@noco5.com; we will be happy to forward your message to the
third party.
 
(1) How we use (and do not use) non-personally identifiable information: We
use non-personally identifiable information in aggregate form to build higher quality,
more useful online services by performing statistical analyses of the collective
characteristics and behavior of the Web site's members and visitors, and by
measuring demographics and interests regarding specific areas of the Web site. We
provide statistical information based on this data to advertisers, affiliates, and other
current and potential business partners. We also use the aggregate data to inform
these third parties as to the number of people who have seen and clicked on links to
their web sites.
 
The Web site may contain links to other Internet web sites, including co-branded or
other affiliated sites that may or may not be owned or operated by us. Unless
otherwise explicitly stated, we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the
content of such web sites, including such sites' use of any information (such as IP
number, browser type, or operating system) collected when visitors to the web site
click through links to those sites. Even though such information might not identify
you personally, we strongly encourage you to become familiar with the privacy
practices of those sites.
 
(2) How we use (and do not use) personally identifiable information: We
provide notice to potential registrants of this Web site whose personally identifiable
information will be collected during the registration process. Such notice is provided
simultaneously with your registration with this website; moreover, this Privacy Policy
itself serves as notice that such information is collected under those circumstances.
You may not "opt in" to the registration process if you wish to have access to
Services, and you may choose to "opt in" to receiving promotional materials from us
and/or our affiliates, advertisers, or other business partners. If you "opt in" to
receiving such promotional materials, we reserve the right to release any personally
identifiable registration information regarding you to third parties who provide goods
or services that we believe may be of interest to you. We will not release your credit
card information to third parties unless necessary to complete a transaction between
you and such a third party. If you decide that you would like to discontinue receiving
promotional information from such third parties, please contact those third parties
directly, or contact us at treggwhite@noco5.com.
 
We limit our own e-mail contact and solicitations to those customers who have
"opted in" to receiving such communications. The solicitations are limited in that
they, among other things, will clearly indicate the originator of the e-mail and
provide the customer with a method of "opting out" of receiving future
communications of a similar nature.
 
In addition, we sometimes use demographic data to decide which advertisements
and sponsor messages to show to which members. As an example, if Sponsor XYZ
wishes to display their advertising only to female members of this Web site, we use
member registration data to ensure that Sponsor XYZ's ads are displayed only to
female members.
 
Finally, we may use individual members' data to "pre-populate" forms, which are
displayed for the purpose of collecting individual data by us and/or our sponsors. In
no case does pre-populating a form transfer any data to any advertiser or third
party. Only if the member voluntarily requests that such data be transferred will any
transfer take place---for example, if/when a member clicks a "submit form" button or
other button.
 
We reserve the right to release any and all information contained within our access
logs concerning any visitor or member when that visitor or member is in violation of
our Terms of Service or other published guidelines, or partakes (or is reasonably
suspected of partaking) in any illegal activity, even without a subpoena, warrant, or
other court order, and to release such information in response to discovery requests,
or in response to any circumstance which we, in our sole discretion, deem an
emergency. We cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who
may be using our servers or services for illegal activities. We also reserve the right to
report any suspected illegal activity to law enforcement for investigation or
prosecution.
 
If and when we sponsor promotions or sweepstakes, or third parties sponsor
promotions or sweepstakes in conjunction with us, either we or the third party will
post relevant privacy information in the official rules and/or registration area for the
promotion or sweepstakes. That privacy information, to the extent it conflicts with
this Privacy Policy, will govern that particular promotion or sweepstakes.
 
Security
 
All information gathered on the Web site is stored within a SHB controlled database
accessible only to us to protect the loss, misuse, or alteration of the information
under our control. However, as effective as any security measure implemented by us
may be, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our
database, nor can we guarantee that information you supply will not be intercepted
while being transmitted to us over the Internet. Questions regarding this Privacy
Policy should be directed to us at treggwhite@noco5.com.
 
Changing/deleting personal information
 
If you would like to have your personally identifiable information changed or
removed from our database, please contact us at treggwhite@noco5.com, and we
will use reasonable efforts to comply with your request. Keep in mind, however, that
there will be residual information that will remain within our databases, access logs,
and other records, which may or may not contain such personally identifiable
information. The residual information will not be used for commercial purposes;
however we reserve the right, from time to time, to re-contact former customers or
users of this Web site.
 
Third-Party Ad Serving
 
We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit this Web site.
These companies may use information (not including your name, address or
telephone number) about your visits to this and other web sites in order to provide
advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more
information about this practice and to know you choices about not having this
information used by these companies, please contact us at treggwhite@noco5.com,
