WCAT Privacy Policy
Your privacy, and the privacy of all WCAT users is important to us. Accordingly, we have adopted the following privacy policy to keep you informed about our information handling practices. This policy tells you, among other things, what information we gather from you, how we may use or disclose that information, and our efforts to protect it. Please read this policy carefully, and feel free to contact us at webmaster@wcat-tv.org if you have any questions regarding its contents.
Types of Information Collected
WCAT keeps track of your use of our Web site. So, for example, each time you visit our Web site, we record the IP address you are using to access the Web site as well as the dates and times of your visit and other non-personally identifiable information about the interaction of your computer with our Web site. In addition, we record the pages within our Web site that you visit and the amount of time you spend on those pages. This information is used soley for planning purposes of this Web site.
A Few Words on Cookies
Cookies are used by some Web sites to save information on your individual preferences and Web site usage in order to personalize Web pages and content for greater convenience. Currently, WCAT uses cookies in this Web site to collect usage statistics — no user specific information is collected.
Most Web browsers (such as later versions of Netscape® browser software and Microsoft® Internet Explorer) can be set to refuse cookies from Web sites. You're free to choose this option when visiting our Web site, though it may prevent you from taking advantage of certain Web site features if and when we provide content personalization. Declining cookies won't have any effect on your use of our Web site in its current form. In any case, please do what makes you feel most comfortable.
Areas powered by third parties
WCAT may offer user services or features that are delivered by third parties, in which personal information you submit is covered by third-party privacy guidelines different from ours. In such cases, we'll post clear notices to alert you and identify the third party who is handling the transaction. If you're not comfortable with their privacy guidelines or for any other reason, you'll always have the choice not to use those features or services.
Security
WCAT and its employees who have access to your personally identifying information, both online and on other forms of media, will use the same degree of care with your personally identifying information as we use to protect our own confidential information, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care.
Regardless of the precautions taken by you or by us, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you transmit such information at your own risk.
Amendments to this Policy
The WCAT Privacy Policy applies to the use of our Web site only. We will also update this Web site policy from time to time, so it's a good idea to check back here periodically. In the end, it's every Web site user's responsibility to stay informed on the privacy policies in effect at any Web site visited, and we'll do our part by posting the updated policies here and noting the date of the last revision. That way, you'll always be able to know if the policy has been altered since your last visit.
