PRIVACY POLICY Last Revised: April 4, 2019
We are a group of radio stations dedicated to entertaining you. Because we are required to by law to notify you that the world and the internet is not a safe place, we have written a privacy policy. To click or not to click, is the question. Some resources we utilize to deliver our services and applications will collect data. You may choose to research and use a browser other than Google, such as DuckDuckGo, that will help to protect your information. Please use good judgment whenever you are connected to the Internet. We are not responsible for your choices or the results of your choices. If you are under 18 years old, ask your parent and/or guardian before using any services or applications. We do not intentionally collect information from minors. You are on the internet. Data is collected by everyone. Sometimes nefariously and we do not condone that behavior. However, as a necessary evil, we use the internet to notify you of contests, content, schedule changes, and any other information deemed relevant by the powers that be (aka management). Social media apps and websites will collect data. Some will report information such as likes or shares. The same social media sites also publish your comments. Be nice. If you don’t have anything nice to say to someone, don’t say it. If you need to contact us, our phone number is 936-634-6661 and our email is traffic@radio1938.com. If you do not want to share your information, do not participate in any Service or contest. Participating or accessing services is an agreement to release your information to us and/or third parties. Giving your contact information, in any form, is permission to contact you using the information you provided. Some third parties will collect information about you and tell us. Some third parties will collect information about you to use for their own reasons and it will not be pretty. We are not responsible for information you choose to give to third parties. We are in the advertising business. Some of our services will have advertisers that ask you to use a link to their website or services. When you do, you leave our sites and we do not always know who is at the other end. We do not have control over the privacy policies of services outside our services. You will need to review the privacy policies of those services before joining or participating. We are not responsible for your decision to access other services or the results. Please use good judgement. We will collect your name and some form of identification for contests. That is necessary because we will not be able to identify you when you claim your prize. At a certain value, the government makes us report prizes as a dollar amount and we will need to collect more than a name. This information will be reported to the government and you will also receive a copy by mail. We require participants of contests/promotions/sweepstakes, etc., to be age 18 or older. If not, you could be disqualified from participating and you will not receive prize(s). Here it is in legal terms: Pentagon Communications, LLC and its subsidiaries and affiliates (individually or collectively, “we/our/us”) respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy. This policy describes the type of information we may collect from you or that you may provide us when you interact with our Services (“websites, mobile applications, email, and online services, participate in contests, programs, register for events”). We offer the Services, including all information, tools and features available from the Services, to you conditioned upon your acceptance of all the terms, conditions, policies and notices stated, which you accept by continuing to utilize the services. We respect your privacy. By accessing and participating in our Services, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy and agree to be bound by the terms. This policy applies to our Services as described above as well as the information we collect when you interact with us through social media or other websites and online services. It does not apply to non-Pentagon Communications, LLC websites and mobile applications that may link to the Services or be linked to or from the Services; please review the privacy policies on those Services and applications directly to understand their privacy practices. We reserve the right to change or update our Privacy Policy by posting such changes or updates to the Services. Amendments to our Privacy Policy will be posted at this same location and will be effective when posted. You can tell if the policy has changed by checking the last modified date that appears at the end of this policy. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of any amendment, modification or change shall constitute your acceptance thereof. We collect information that you provide directly to us. You may provide different types of information to us when you engage in certain activities through the Services such as creating an account, ordering a product or service, submitting, posting or accessing various content or features, subscribing to mobile push notifications, responding to and submitting a form, participating in our blogs or forums, entering a sweepstakes, contest, promotion or other special initiative, signing up for a special order, completing a survey, sending feedback, requesting or submitting information, applying for a job, or directly contacting us. The information we request includes, but is not limited to, your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, age, and demographic information. It is optional for you to engage in such activity; however, if you choose to do so, we may not be able to permit you to participate in the activity unless certain pieces of information are provided. When you interact with the Services, certain information about your use of the Services is automatically collected, regardless of whether you create an account on the Services. This information includes, but is not limited to, your browser types; mobile phone, tablet or other devise type, computer or mobile operating system/ the domain of the website that referred you to us; name of your internet service provider; web sites you visit on the Services; IP address; geo-location information; and stand server log information. We also collect information about your interactions with our email messages, such as whether the messages were opened and the links clicked in those emails. Much of this information is collected through cookies, web beacons and other tracking technologies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies but, if you prefer, you can usually modify your browser setting to disable or reject cookies. If you delete your cookies or if you set your browser to decline cookies, some features of the services may not be available, work, or work as designed. Cookies may be first or third party. We may also allow our affiliates, service providers, data management providers and advertisers to serve cookies or employ other tracking technologies from the Services. These cookies allow us, in conjunction with our partners, to analyze how the Serves are accessed, used, or performing, and allow us to serve you with content, including advertising, tailored to your preferences or interests, as well as measure the effectiveness of that advertising. This may include sites such as Google Analytics. Music license companies require us to monitor traffic to streaming sites. They use analytics to determine for example, number of listeners per hour, and report those results to other parties and use the numbers to determine copyrights and payments to artists and writers. The technologies used by these companies may collect information such as your IP address, time of visit, whether you are a return visitor, and any referring website. We currently use a third party for payment processing. We do not store your credit card or bank account information. Please review the terms of use and privacy policies of the third party payment processor prior to providing your information. (Square, Inc. [US]) When you interact with us or the Services through a social media platform (such as by clicking on a social media icon linked from our Services), we may collect the personal information that you make available to us on the page, including your account ID or username and other information included in your posts. If you choose to log in to your account with or through a social networking service, we and that service may share certain information about you and your activities. We may use and share the information collected for various purposes, including to: *Communicate with you. *Provide, maintain, personalize, optimize, and improve our products and services. *Provide you with content including advertising. *Enable you to participate in features such as surveys, reviews, blogs or forums, or to enter sweepstakes, contests, promotions and other special incentives and to communicate with you about them. *Send emails to subscribers. *Monitor and protect Services, including research and analytics. *Detect, investigate, and prevent activities that may violate our policies or be fraudulent or illegal. We may combine information from the Services together and with other information we obtain from our business records or from third party sources. We may also use or combine information that we have collected about you both directly and automatically to these third parties. We share information about you with third parties who partner with us to provide advertisements about products and services that may be of interest to you. These may include third parties who assist us in identifying which ads to deliver and third parties who deliver the advertisements. As described above, our third party partners may use persistent identifiers to track your Internet usage across other websites, online services, email and mobile applications in the networks beyond the Services, and may combine information about you from other sources. We may provide additional information that we have collected about you both directly and automatically to our partners. Our partners may use the information collected to serve you with targeted advertising, both through our Services and other websites, email, online services or mobile applications. We may also contribute to or participate in cooperative databases, which give other companies access to your information. We adhere to the principles of the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising and Multi-Site Data and the Network Advertising Initiative’s Code of Conduct, as applicable. See the Opt-Out section below to learn about the choices available to you with respect to this type of advertising. We may aggregate your information into a form where individuals can no longer be identified. Given the aggregated, de-identified information, there are no restrictions under this Privacy Policy on how we may use or disclose such information. For example, we may freely share such information with third parties who may use data for their own marketing, advertising, research, or other business purposes. If you chose to enter a sweepstakes, contest, or other promotion, your information may be disclosed to third parties who help design, administer and implement the promotion, including in connection with winner selection, prize fulfillment and aggregated data analysis. Your information may also be disclosed as required by law, such as on a winners list. We may provide products or services, jointly with or through certain third party businesses, including but not limited to retail businesses. When we provide these products or services, we may give you the opportunity to opt-in to the additional sharing of information with these businesses. Should you choose to do so, information you provide specifically in connection with those products and services may be shared with these businesses and subject to their privacy policies. Their Services may allow users to post comments and other content to the Services. Any information about yourself that you post to the Services will become public information and will be accessible by other users of the Services.
