PRIVACY POLICY
Privacy Principles
Effective 11/1/2001
WFTC , a unit of Fox/UTV Holdings, Inc., is part of the
News America Group, which has adopted a set of Privacy
Principles applicable to all its U.S.-based companies.
WFTC has implemented those Principles in this
Privacy
Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and share
personally identifiable information (“PII”) we obtain
from and about individuals located in the U.S.
From time to time WFTC may revise this Privacy Policy to
reflect changes in the law, technology, or industry
initiatives. Therefore, you should review it
periodically so that you are up to date on our most
current policies and practices.
COLLECTION: COLLECTION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE
INFORMATION (“PII”) BY WFTC
General. WFTC collects personally identifiable
information (“PII” -- that is, information such as your
full name, email address, mailing address or telephone
number) only in order to create or enhance our
relationship with you. When we collect PII from you it
is because you are voluntarily submitting the
information to us in order to participate in activities
like sweepstakes, contests, games, surveys, forums,
subscription registrations, content or suggestions you
submit to us, chats or bulletin boards, or because you
want us to furnish you with products, services, or
information. On those occasions when we obtain PII from
a third party, we use only reputable sources of such
information.
Cookies. Cookies are small bits of information that the
Internet sites operated by WFTC place on the hard drive
of your computer. Cookies remember information about
your activities on our site(s) and enable WFTC to make
your visits to our site(s) more enjoyable. For example,
cookies can store your password for easy logon to a site
you have previously visited or can save your preferences
for a personalized home page. The cookie itself does not
contain PII.
Third party advertisements displayed on Internet site(s)
operated by WFTC may also contain cookies. WFTC does not
control these advertiser cookies and visitors to our web
site(s) should check the privacy policy of the
advertiser to see whether and how it uses cookies.
On occasion, WFTC may use cookies to relate your use of
our web site(s) to personally identifiable information
you have submitted to us. For example, if you’ve asked
us to send you information about our upcoming
programming or promotions, cookie information may allow
us to limit the materials we send you to items we know
you will find interesting, based on your prior online
activities and preferences. However, if WFTC wishes to
coordinate personal and cookie information in this
manner, we will obtain your express prior consent (i.e.,
“opt in”).
You can program your computer to warn you each time a
cookie is being sent or to refuse cookies completely.
NOTICE: WFTC WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH NOTICE ABOUT ITS PII
COLLECTION PRACTICES
When WFTC collects PII from you, we will make sure you
are informed about who is collecting the information,
how and why the information is being collected and the
types of uses WFTC will make of the information.
This Policy describes the types of other companies that
may want to send you information about their products
and services and therefore want to share your personal
information (See “Use” below). However, at the time your
PII is collected, WFTC will notify you of your options
regarding our use of your personally identifiable
information, including whether we can share it with
outside companies (See “Choice” below).
Sometimes we collect personally identifiable information
from consumers in manual format, such as a post card or
subscription form. Providing detailed notice in those
situations often proves impractical, so consumers will
instead be provided with a short notice that describes
how to obtain the full text of this Policy and other
relevant information from us.
WFTC web site(s) may be linked to Internet sites
operated by other companies. Some of these third party
sites may be co-branded with a WFTC logo, even though
they are not operated or maintained by WFTC. WFTC web
site(s) also carry advertisements from other companies
as well as advertisements placed by national Internet ad
agencies. Although we choose our business partners and
advertisers carefully, WFTC is not responsible for the
privacy practices of web sites operated by third parties
that are linked to our sites or for the privacy
practices of third party or so-called national
advertisers. Once you’ve left WFTC site via such a link
or by clicking on an advertisement, you should check the
applicable privacy policy of the third party or
advertiser site to determine how they will handle any
PII they collect from you.
WFTC web site(s) may also be linked to sites operated by
companies affiliated with WFTC . Visitors to those
affiliated sites should still refer to their separate
privacy policies and practices, which may differ in some
respects from this Policy.
CHOICE: WFTC WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH CHOICES ABOUT THE USE
OF YOUR PII
WFTC will provide you with the opportunity to choose
whether your PII may be used for purposes different from
the purpose for which it was submitted. You will also be
able to choose whether your information is shared with
companies that are not affiliated with WFTC (i.e., not
part of the News America Group).
USE: WFTC USE OF PII
WFTC will use your PII in a manner that is consistent
with this Policy and only for the purpose for which it
is submitted, unless other uses are disclosed at the
time of collection and you allow us to use your
information in these other ways.
WFTC may share your PII with companies that are
affiliated with us, that is, part of the News America
Group of companies. WFTC may also share your PII with
companies that are not affiliated with WFTC but would
like to send you information about their products and
services. However, you will always have the opportunity
to instruct us not to share your information with third
parties.
WFTC employees, agents, and contractors must have a
legitimate business reason to obtain access to your PII.
Outside contractors or agents who help us manage our
information activities (i.e., sweepstakes
administration, order fulfillment, statistical analyses)
may only use PII to provide WFTC with a specific service
and not for any other purpose.
If WFTC obtains PII from a third party, such as a
business partner, our use of this information is
governed by this Policy.
WFTC may be required to disclose PII to comply with
legal requirements, such as a court order, and to
protect the safety and security of visitors to our web
sites.
SECURITY: WFTC PROTECTS THE SECURITY OF PII
WFTC uses reasonable administrative, technical,
personnel, and physical measures to safeguard PII in its
possession against loss, theft and unauthorized use,
disclosure, or modification. In addition, WFTC uses
reasonable methods to make sure that PII is accurate,
up-to-date and appropriately complete.
