Community Television Foundation of South Florida, Inc. (“WPBT”) Online Privacy Policy

Nothing is more important to us than protecting the private information of our visitors. WPBT adheres to a strict policy for ensuring the privacy of your—and your children’s—personally identifiable information (such as full name, address, e-mail address, telephone number and/or other identifiable information) and preserving the integrity of this online medium.

Gathering and Use of Information

1. We collect information from you  that you supply to us on a voluntary basis.  We also collect an IP address from each visitor to our site. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. We use IP addresses to help diagnose problems with our server, administer our site, analyze trends, track users' movement, gather broad demographic information for aggregate use in order for us to improve the site, and deliver customized, personalized content. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
2. In order to participate in some activities, you might be asked to provide some personally identifiable information. This could be in connection with the following:
   • contest or sweepstakes registration
   • subscription registration for sites or services which require subscription (such as e-mail newsletters)
   • member contributions
   • requests for membership information
   • transactions in the Channel 2 Mall
   • content submissions, community postings (i.e., forums, bulletin boards, chat rooms), comments and suggestions, or voting
3. WPBT may use your personally identifiable information for activities explained above, for internal and marketing promotional purposes.
4. Tell-A-Friend: If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our Site, we ask them for the friend's name and email address. WPBT will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the Site. WPBT stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email.
5. Security: All information provided to WPBT is transmitted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. SSL is a proven coding system that lets your browser automatically encrypt, or scramble, data before you send it to us. We also protect account information by placing it on a secure portion of our Site that is only accessible by certain qualified employees of WPBT. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of such information.
6. It is WPBT’s policy to occasionally exchange mailing lists containing Your Information with other non-profit, non-political organizations. If you wish you’re your name NOT to be exchanged, please call 1-800-222-9728 and advise us accordingly.
