PittRadio Privacy Policy
PittRadio is committed to protecting your privacy online. We are also committed to providing you with the very best experience we can on our Web site. In order to enhance your experience at PittRadio we gather certain information about you that helps us customize our content based on your profile and to assist you in finding and communicating with other members.
This policy covers how PittRadio acquire and use such information. This policy does not apply to the practices of any company and/or individual that PittRadio does not control.
PittRadio collects three types of information from you:
- Voluntary Private
- Voluntary Public
- Involuntary
Voluntary Private and Public information are what you provide to PittRadio at your will on your account. Voluntary Private (information that is only viewed by you or site administration) includes:
- Your full name
- Postal Address (street, city, state, zip/postal code, and country)
- Telephone and Fax Numbers
- and E-mail address
Voluntary Public (information that can be viewed by anyone) includes:
- User name
- Description and List of Interests (if your profile is set to public)
- Age
- Gender
- Geographical Location
Most of these information are submitted by creating a PittRadio account, while some of the private information are received by direct contact, such as alternate contact information.
Involuntary information is collected from your computer and internet browser. The most common of this information are "cookies," which are used to store your account and site preferences and track your activity on our Web site. Cookies are small bits of data that are sent to your browser and stored on your computer's hard drive. Cookies may be set at various times during your interaction with our Web site. They are updated from time to time as you access the many different portions of our Web site. Each time you access our site, our server may deliver certain customized information to you based on the data stored in your cookies. Some advertisers or Web sites that have links on our site may also use their own cookies. Other forms of involuntary information includes IP addresses, which we used to track unique visitors' activities during their sessions.
We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our Web site. These companies may use information (not including your name, postal address, e-mail address, or telephone/fax number) about your visits to this and other websites 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 your choices about not having this information used by these companies, click here.
PittRadio does not give, sell, rent, or trade Voluntary Private or involuntary information with others. In the event that one or more of our business partners co-sponsor a service, promotion and/or contest, we may use some or all of the information collected to efficiently present to you such service, promotion or contest that pertain to your unique interests on behalf of our co-sponsor(s). Voluntary Private information along with involuntary information will only be used for your/our own security purposes, unless investigative authorities request such information with warrants signed by an active judge.
In addition, when you sign up to receive promotional items from us (such as our newsletter), we may only share Voluntary Public information with third parties. When we share your information with such third parties, we will work to ensure that only the information necessary to complete the proposed action is disclosed.
