Fairbanks - Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
MyFoxFairbanks.com is committed to protecting your privacy.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully so that you understand
our privacy practices. By visiting MyFoxFairbanks.com, you agree
that your use of our site, and any dispute over privacy, is
governed by this Privacy Policy.
Privacy of Children
Protecting the privacy of children is especially important.
For that reason, MyFoxFairbanks.com does not knowingly allow anyone
under the age of 18 to register for the site or provide us with any
personally identifying information. In no other way do we knowingly
collect or maintain personally identifiable information on
MyFoxFairbanks.com from persons under 18 years of age, and no part
of our website is directed to persons under 18. If
MyFoxFairbanks.com learns that personally identifiable information
of persons less than 18 years of age has been collected, then
MyFoxFairbanks.com will take the appropriate steps to delete this
information. If you are under the age of 18, please do not attempt
to register to use this site.
Because of the nature of this site, activities involving
children, or a specific child, may be the topics of postings and
comments on MyFoxFairbanks.com, and photographs posted on the site
by parents or other community members may include images of
children. Please respect the privacy of these children by not
providing personal information about any child on the site unless
you are the child's parent or guardian or have the explicit consent
of the child, parent or guardian. In any event, never use the site
to demean children or a specific child in any way.
Information Collection and Use by MyFoxFairbanks.com
The information we collect falls into two categories: (1)
user-provided personal information such as information that you
provide to us when you register to use our Web site, and (2)
certain anonymous information that we collect as you navigate
through the MyFoxFairbanks.com pages. You also provide personal
information when choosing to participate in various activities on
MyFoxFairbanks.com such as uploading videos, photos, posting
messages on our site, entering contests or sweepstakes, taking
advantage of promotions, responding to surveys, or subscribing to
newsletters or other mailing lists. Below is a description of each
type of information we collect and how we use it:
• Registration Information. Anyone may visit
MyFoxFairbanks.com and read its contents, but only registered users
may post information or comments or use certain MyFoxFairbanks.com
services. We require users to register to encourage responsible and
courteous conduct. In our registration process, we require you to
provide your e-mail address, zip code, gender and year of birth. We
use this information to create a unique registration profile for
you, to communicate with you regarding your registration, and to
verify that you are not under the age of 18. We also may ask you to
provide, at your option, your address and certain demographic
information. This information will help us to better understand our
audience, but is not required as a condition of registering; you
may decline to provide any or all such optional information. Once
you register with MyFoxFairbanks.com and sign in to our site, you
are not anonymous to us, though you may use an assumed member name
when posting to the site if you'd prefer to remain anonymous to
other members of the MyFoxFairbanks.com community and other
visitors to the site.
• Your E-mail Address Required. We require you to
provide your e-mail address as part of the registration process.
When you register with our site, we will send you an e-mail
confirming your registration. We may use your e-mail address to
send you administrative e-mails from time to time containing
announcements and communications regarding the MyFoxFairbanks.com
service. If you do not wish to receive administrative e-mails from
us, please do not register to use our site. You also may elect to
receive regular newsletters or information updates from us or to
receive commercial e-mails from us that advertise our services and
the products or services of our advertising partners. Even if you
choose to receive commercial e-mails, we will not share your e-mail
address with our third-party advertisers, though we may send you
advertising materials on their behalf. Our newsletters, information
updates and advertising e-mails will be sent to you only if you
request them on an opt-in basis. Once you have opted in to receive
such e-mails, you may unsubscribe from them at any time by
following the simple instructions included in each e-mail.
• Browser-Level Information. When you visit
MyFoxFairbanks.com, our web server automatically collects limited
information about your computer configuration, such as the type of
browser software you use and the operating system you're running
and your IP address. So MyFoxFairbanks.com does log
non-personally-identifiable information including IP address,
profile information, aggregate user data, browser type, browser
language, referring / exit pages and URLs, platform type, number of
clicks, domain names,landing pages, pages viewed and the order of
those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, from
users and visitors to the site. This data is used to manage the
website, track usage and improve the website services. This
non-personally-identifiable information may be shared with
third-parties to provide more relevant services and advertisements
to members. User IP addresses are recorded for security and
monitoring purposes. We use this information to make our site as
useful as we can for as many users as possible.
• Cookies and Web Beacons. We also use "cookies" to
track which pages of our site you visit. Our use of cookies also
prevents you from having to re-enter your log-in information each
time you visit the site. By supplementing our records, this
information helps us learn things like what pages are most
attractive to our visitors, which of our products most interest our
customers, and what kinds of offers our customers like to see. If
you leave MyFoxFairbanks.com to visit our advertisers' Web sites,
some of those advertisers also may place cookies on your computer.
We don't have access to those cookies or to any information they
contain, and the use and collection of your information by such
third-party advertisers is governed by the advertiser's Privacy
Policy, which may be different from ours. Because cookies are
stored on your hard drive, not on our Web site, you can set your
browser to decline cookies and can delete them from your computer.
However, if you don't accept cookies, you may need to re-enter your
log-in information each time you visit our site, and you may not be
able to take advantage of various features on our site that are
available to other visitors.
• Aggregate Information Used to Serve and Target Ads.
We may aggregate the information we collect from our users and use
this anonymous, aggregated information to target ads on our site.
(For example, we may use this information to tell advertisers the
age range, gender composition, and geographic location of the
audience the advertisers will be reaching.) When we aggregate your
information, no specific personal information is included, and you
cannot be identified from this aggregate information. Please keep
in mind that whenever you voluntarily make your personal
information available for viewing by third parties on our site -
for example, in a post, comment, classified ad, event listing or
Yellow Pages review, or on other areas of our site - that
information can be seen, collected and used by anyone who visits
the site. We cannot control and therefore cannot be responsible for
any unauthorized third-party use of such information. Please
respect the privacy of others by not posting their personal
information on our site without their permission.
Disclosure of Information
Information about our customers is an important part of our
business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others.
MyFoxFairbanks.com will not rent, sell, or share your personal
information with unaffiliated companies or people except (1) as
necessary to provide you with products or services you've
requested, (2) when we have your permission, or (3) as follows:
• We may disclose your personal information to trusted
partners who work on behalf of MyFoxFairbanks.com under
confidentiality agreements. These companies may use your personal
information to help us serve you. However, these companies are not
allowed to share this information or to use it for their own
purposes.
• We may disclose your personal information to conform
to legal requirements or to respond to a subpoena, search warrant
or other legal process received by MyFoxFairbanks.com, whether or
not a response is required by applicable law.
• We may disclose your personal information to enforce
our MyFoxFairbanks.com Terms of Use Agreement, or to protect the
rights, property or safety of members of the MyFoxFairbanks.com
community, other visitors to our site, our advertisers and other
customers, the public, or MyFoxFairbanks.com and its employees.
• As our business grows, we may buy or sell various
assets. In the event that MyFoxFairbanks.com or some or all of our
assets are acquired by another company, information about our users
may be among the transferred assets.
Promotions, Contests and Sweepstakes
From time to time, MyFoxFairbanks.com or a partner may
sponsor a promotion, sweepstake or contest on MyFoxFairbanks.com.
Users may be asked to provide personal information including name,
email address or home address or to answer questions in order to
participate. We may transfer personal information to certain ad
partners that you have explicitly requested to receive information
from. It will be clear at the point of collection who is collecting
the personal information and whose privacy statement will
apply.
Making Changes to Your Personal Information
You can edit your MyFoxFairbanks.com registration
information, including your e-mail address and options for
receiving news and information and advertising e-mails, and can
delete your registration and member name, at any timeby going to
the Registration page. If you delete your MyFoxFairbanks.com
registration, certain personal information might remain in our
archived records after your account has been deleted.
Email Choice/Opt-out
Members who no longer wish to receive updates or
notifications may choose not to by unsubscribing on the Mailing
List Admin page. All notification emails and MyFoxFairbanks.com
newsletters also include the above instructions for opting-out of
those communications in the future.
Links to Other Sites
MyFoxFairbanks.com, and users who post information on
MyFoxFairbanks.com, may provide links to third-party Web sites
whose privacy policies we do not control. When you access another
site, use of any information you provide is governed by the Privacy
Policy of the operator of the site you're visiting. When linking to
another site a user should read the privacy policy stated on that
site. Our privacy policy only governs information collected on
MyFoxFairbanks.com.
Archiving and Storage
All MyFoxFairbanks.com postings may be stored in our
database, even after deletion from the site. Our web logs and other
records may be stored indefinitely. In addition, search engines and
other sites not affiliated with MyFoxFairbanks.com may cache or
archive postings from MyFoxFairbanks.com, and may make such
postings available for viewing on their sites. (For example, some
search engines take a snapshot of each web page examined by the
search engine as it crawls the web, and may cache these pages as a
backup in case the original page is unavailable. Search engine
users can view the cached pages simply by clicking on the "cached"
link.) We have no control over this.
Security
MyFoxFairbanks.com has taken steps to protect the
confidentiality of the personal information it collects from
members of the MyFoxFairbanks.com community. Information we gather
on MyFoxFairbanks.com is stored within MyFoxFairbanks.com
-controlled databases (or databases hosted on our behalf) on
servers maintained in protected environments, and we limit access
to your personal information to MyFoxFairbanks.com employees who we
believe need to see that information to provide you with services
or otherwise do their jobs. However, no physical or electronic
security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the
security of our servers or databases, nor can we guarantee that the
information that you supply to us won't be intercepted during
transmission over the Internet. It is important for you to protect
against unauthorized access to your MyFoxFairbanks.com account,
especially on a shared computer, by logging out when you are
finished using our site. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or
software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of
member information at any time
Changes to Our Privacy Policy
Because the web is an evolving medium, we may need to change
our Privacy Policy at some point in the future, in which case we'll
post the changes to this Privacy Policy on this Web site and update
the Effective Date of the policy to reflect the date of the
changes. By continuing to use the MyFoxFairbanks.com Web site after
we post any such changes, you accept the Privacy Policy as
modified.
