GOOD KARMA BROADCASTING PRIVACY POLICY AND YOUR
CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
www.wxroradio.com
is the official Web site for WXRO 95.3 (WXRO-FM). This site is owned and
operated by Good Karma Broadcasting, LLC.
Your privacy is very important to us. Because we
gather certain types of personally identifiable information from users of our
Web site and for various station activities, operational and business purposes,
we feel you should know how we collect, use, disclose, manage, and store the
personal information that you may voluntarily provide us and the personal
information that is collected passively through the use of cookies or image
tags on our Web site. This Privacy Policy is a part of the site’s Terms of Use
Agreement, which is binding on all site users. Terms of Use Agreement: This
Policy applies only to the personal information collected by this station and
does not cover any such information collected by its corporate parent(s),
affiliates, or any other company, unless specifically stated.
If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please
do not participate in the station’s online or off-line activities and services
that require you to provide your personal information. (The type of personal
information collected is listed below.) This Policy provides information
regarding your choices to either opt-out or opt-in when your personal
information is used for various promotional and marketing purposes by the
station, site, its corporate affiliates, and/or our generous advertisers,
sponsors, or promotional partners. For example, for the station, site or our
corporate affiliate’s use of your personal information for marketing and
promotional purposes, we provide you with the right to opt-out. However, the
choice for sharing your personal information with advertisers may be different.
Please see details in the Disclosure to Advertisers section below.
Your California Privacy Rights
Residents of the State of California, under a new
provision of the California Civil Code, have the right to request from
companies conducting business in California a list of all third parties to
which the company has disclosed personal information during the preceding year
for direct marketing purposes. Alternatively, the law provides that if the
company has a privacy policy that gives either an opt-out or opt-in choice for
use of your personal information by third parties (such as advertisers or
affiliated companies) for marketing purposes, the company may instead provide
you with information on how to exercise your disclosure choice options.
This station qualifies for the alternative option; it
has a comprehensive privacy policy and provides you with details on how you may
opt-out or opt-in to the use of your personal information by third parties for
direct marketing purposes. Therefore, we are not required to maintain or
disclose a list of the third parties that received your personal information
during the preceding year for marketing purposes.
If you are a California resident and request
information about how to exercise your third party disclosure choices you must
send a request to the following address with a preference on how our response
to your request should be sent (e-mail or postal mail). You may contact us in
two ways. Send e-mail to promotions@gkbradio.com.

Collection, Use and Disclosure of Personal Information
Generally, you may browse this site without providing
any personal information. For certain activities (such as contest and
sweepstakes registrations, membership, awards points and loyal listener clubs,
nominations for civic or Best Teacher/Coach awards, or registration for chat
rooms and message boards) the personal information you voluntarily provide may
include your first/middle and last name, home address, business address, email
address, telephone number, age, birthdate, gender, employer or personal
preferences, depending on the activity. Your personal information will be used
to implement the specific activity or event and will be used for the marketing
of additional events, services and merchandising for this site and WXRO 95.3
(WXRO-FM).
We will not sell, exchange, rent, lease or otherwise
disclose your personal information to other third-party marketers or any such
persons that are not associated with the station as an advertiser, sponsor, or
promotional partner unless it is necessary to 1) conform to regulatory and
legal requirements or to comply with legal process, 2) to protect the safety
and security of our users, employees, or property, 3) to defend the rights of
the site or the station, or 4) to enforce the Terms of Use Agreement.
(Specifics on how we may share your information with advertisers are explained
below.)
It is necessary that we share your personal
information with our operational service providers, the specialists that
provide internal support to our site design, development, hosting and
operations including maintenance, management, storage and/or fulfillment of our
membership and e-mail clubs, various contests, sweepstakes, services, events
and online stores. We use operational service providers to efficiently provide
the full range of content, activities and membership services we bring to you
and we request that our operational service providers also protect your privacy
and not disclose your personal information with third-party marketers that are
not associated with the station or Web site.
Furthermore, we reserve the right to disclose any and
all membership and visitor databases collected by the Web site, in the event that
the assets of ESPN Cleveland, its licensee or parent company are sold or
transferred to, or merged with a different company or entity, and to contact
you at any time regarding the administration of the site, its various
activities and your membership.
We explain below what our policy is for the
collection, use and disclosure of users’ personal information for the site and
advertisers.
Advertising support allows us to offer, free of
charge, many great activities and services to our users such as contests,
sweepstakes and special events. Therefore, we may also use your personal
information for the marketing of events, products or services of our generous
advertisers. There are two ways users may receive such information from
advertisers, either indirectly via newsletters, e-mail or direct mail from the
site, or directly from the advertiser. We may use one or both methods depending
on the activity and the advertiser.
When we plan to share your information with
advertisers, you will receive such notice on the site and/or in the rules of
participation for the activity or event. However, please be informed that our
advertisers may not have the same privacy policies that we do. Therefore, we
will ask you for your consent first to receive marketing information directly
from our advertisers. You will need to check the opt-in boxes indicated on the
registration area for the particular activity or event, or notify the site’s
Privacy Administrator at promotions@gkbradio.com.
However, if you do not wish to receive marketing or promotional materials from
the site and/or station, you will need to tell us so by clicking the opt-out
boxes indicated on the registration area for the particular event, or notify
the site’s Privacy Administrator. Please note that this process is different
than the one for advertisers.
We reserve the right to monitor and edit any personal
information about our users, including information about the use of Web site
activities and services and the contents of users’ e-mail and messages for
internal purposes and when necessary, to disclose to law enforcement personnel,
and/or the employer and/or internet service provider of a user that is not in
compliance with the Terms of Use Agreement. We will take such measures if we
believe it is necessary to protect the security and operations of this site. We
provide aggregate statistics about our users, traffic patterns and related Web
site information to advertisers, reputable third-party vendors or marketing
companies, but these statistics do not disclose personal information about a
particular user.

personal Information from children. If we unintentionally receive personal
