WJFW-TV (Northland Television, Inc.) has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this Web site: www.wjfw.com This privacy policy applies only to information collected by or through this Web site. It does not apply to information obtained by other means.
Information Collection and Use
We collect information from Web site visitors who must register for certain services on-line,
from users who agree to participate in on-line surveys, from users who wish to make certain online
information requests from us and from users who wish to participate in on-line contests and
promotions sponsored by us. Because participation in these activities is completely voluntary, the
user has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The type of information so
requested or collected by us includes user contact information (like their name and email
address) and user demographic information (like gender or age). Contact information will be
used to notify contest winners and award prizes and, in some instances may be shared with the
contest or survey sponsor. Anonymous survey information will be used for purposes of reporting
survey results and monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site. Users' personally
identifiable information is not shared with third parties unless we give prior notice and choice.
The visitor's contact information will be used to contact the visitor when the visitor has
expressed interest in being contacted (visitors can opt-out of receiving future mailings by
complying with the choice/output requirements noted below).
We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site. We track and record IP addresses that access our site for reporting and profiling purposes only. We may also share personally identifiable user information if requested to do so by subpoena or with governmental authorities when subpoenaed to do so or as part of an investigation into illegal activities, such as, but not limited to illegal transfer of copyrighted material, or user Web site postings or email messages that contain threats of violence. We may also disclose personally identifiable information in other cases where we have reason to believe that disclosure is necessary to enforce compliance with our Terms of Use. Other than these specific exceptions noted, we do not sell, rent or provide access to any data collected about or from our users.
Aggregate Information/Use of Cookies
On the Internet, a "cookie" is a piece of information (a file) that a website transfers to a user's
computer for record-keeping purposes. The use of cookies is common on the Internet. The
process we use to serve advertisements and to track use of the Site involves cookies. We use
cookies to recognize users who have already registered on our Site, allowing those users to speed
up their future activities on the Site. Cookies help Operator track the frequency and placement of
products and services on the Site. Cookies also enable us to measure aggregate (total) usage and
traffic to the Site and to specific offerings. This aids us in producing content that best meets our
users' preferences. In order to implement new products or services, we may use other types of
cookies as well. We also may use cookies to understand better what parts of the Site you like
best. We may use that information to display advertisements and provide services and products
that we think will be of particular interest to you. You may configure your browser to reject
cookies, but this may interfere with some functionality of the Site.
