www.garycrow.com ("Site," "us" or
"we") is the official website for Radio
Personality Gary Crow, Seattle, WA ("Crow").
This Site is owned and operated by Crow Productions
("Owner and Operator").
Your privacy is very important to us. Because we gather
certain types of personally identifiable information
("Personal Information") from users of our
website, we feel you should know how we use 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. The Privacy Policy is
a part of the Site's Terms
of Use Agreement, which is binding on all users.
Unless specified otherwise on the Site, users must be at
least 18 years of age and a legal resident of the United
States before participation in any activity that
requires the submission of Personal Information. By your
participation in our Site activities, you certify that
you are at least 18 years of age. All users of the Site
are required to provide true, current, complete and
accurate Personal Information when prompted and we will
reject and delete any entry that we believe in good
faith to be false or fraudulent.
If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please
do not participate in the Site's activities or services
that require you to provide your Personal Information.
(The type of Personal Information is listed below.)
Your continued participation indicates your acceptance
of this Privacy Policy and of the collection, use,
disclosure, maintenance, management and storage of your
Personal Information as described below. This Privacy
Policy will remain in full force and effect as long as
you are a user of the Site. We reserve the right to
revise this policy at any time by updating this posting
without advance notice to you. Such revisions shall be
effective to you as a user of the Site immediately upon
posting. Therefore, we encourage you to check this
Privacy Policy often.
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.
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 Site as an advertiser, sponsor, or promotional
partner (collectively "Advertisers") 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 Gary
Crow, 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 Crow
Productions or website.
Furthermore, we reserve the right to disclose any and
all membership and visitor databases collected by the
website, in the event that the assets or stock of Crow
Productions, its corporate 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, email 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.
We do not currently share Personal Information with our
Advertisers. However, depending on the activity, we may
in the future do so and you will receive notice on the
Site and/or in the rules of participation ("Rules
of Participation") for the event or activity.
Please be informed that our Advertisers may not have the
same privacy policies that we do. Therefore, you will
need to tell us if you do not want to receive marketing
information directly from our Advertisers. You will need
to check the "Opt-out" click boxes so
indicated on the registration area for the particular
event, or notify the Site's Privacy Administrator at crow@garycrow.com.
You will also need to tell us if you do not wish to
receive marketing or promotional materials from the Site
and/or Crow in the same manner.
We reserve the right to monitor and edit any Personal
Information about our users, including information about
the use of website activities and services and the
contents of users' email 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 website information to Advertisers,
reputable third-party vendors or marketing companies,
but these statistics do not disclose Personal
Information about a particular user.
Children's
Privacy Policy
Although persons of all ages may visit our Site and
participate in activities that do not require the
collection of Personal Information, we do not knowingly
or intentionally collect Personal Information from
children under the age of 13 and will automatically
reject and delete the registration or entry of any
person we believe in good faith to be underage. Any
false or fraudulent registration or entry from a minor
will be deemed to be ineligible and will disqualify the
minor from the receipt of a prize, benefit or other
participation.
Email
Policy
We do not generally keep email correspondence, except
for those emails that relate to the on-air programs. As
required by Federal law, if any part of your email
correspondence relates to show programming, we must
place such correspondence in the Station's FCC Public
File, or make the correspondence available via
electronic file access at the Station to anyone that
requests such information. Therefore, be informed that
your Personal Information contained in certain email
will be disclosed to the general public.
E-Commerce
Policy
If this Site sells goods and/or services or provides
auction services we will request Personal Information
that includes your credit card or other payment
information, full name, billing and shipping address,
email address and telephone number and any such
information that is required to fulfill your order and
to communicate with you regarding your order. Sensitive
Personal Information such as credit card account numbers
will be collected though a secured Internet connection
generally via SSL or S-HTTP protocols. We may use your
Personal Information, (but not your credit card number)
to contact you about future products, services and
discounts from the Site or to provide such information
indirectly from our Advertisers, unless you tell us
otherwise. We will only use your credit card number to
complete the specific transaction you requested.
Chat
Rooms, Message Boards and Public Forums Policy
For your enjoyment and entertainment, this Site offers
user interactive activities such as chat rooms, message
boards, and/or public forums ("Public
Forums"). We do not share any Personal Information
that is entered into the Public Forum registration
and/or correspondence areas with Advertisers.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to save
and archive any content of any nature posted to the Site
and that site may, without liability to any user,
disclose such content if required to do so by law or to
comply with legal processes; to respond to claims that
any of the content violates the property, privacy,
publicity or other rights of others; or to protect the
rights, property or safety of the Site, its employees,
users and members of the public. For more information on
this Site's rules of conduct for these Public Forums,
please see our Terms of Use
Agreement.
Advertising
and Other Third-Party Content on the Site
This Privacy Policy does not cover third-party
advertising or third-party content that may be present
on the Site. This Site may provide banner and general
advertising, in addition to other content provided by
our Advertisers or operational service providers. Users
may from time to time enter into correspondence with or
participation in such advertising, promotions or
third-party content offered through the Site. Such
correspondence and agreements are solely between the
user and the Advertiser or the third-party content
provider and do not involve the Site. Also, Advertisers
and such third-party content providers may not have the
same privacy policies that we do and you are encouraged
to read their privacy policy first.
Hyper
Links to Other Websites
This Site often provides links to third parties'
websites that could be of interest to our users,
including the websites of our Advertisers. These
websites do not have an affiliation with the Site or
Crow and may have different privacy policies and
business practices than we do. We take no responsibility
for such websites, as stated in our Terms of Use
Agreement. By use of this Site, you have agreed that you
will use the hyperlinks to third party sites at your own
risk.
Cookies
and Image Tags
The use of cookies is an industry standard and they are
currently used on most websites, including this Site.
Cookies are a small text file containing a unique
identification number that is transferred from a website
to the hard drive of a user's computer so that the
website administrator may identify the computer and
passively track the user's activities on the website.
Image tags work in conjunction with cookies and are
small image files that may be located on select pages of
our Site, or with-in web-based email newsletters that we
may send. (Image tags are also called web beacons, web
bugs, clear GIFs or single-pixel GIFs.) Tracking is
important because we can better understand what parts of
our website are used the most, when to launch new
services and how to enhance current offerings. We may
share the information we receive from cookies and image
tags with third-parties and our Advertisers in aggregate
form, which means that such information does not contain
specific Personal Information about any one visitor.
In short, cookies and image tags collect a user's
Internet protocols and server information. Such data
files allow our Site to remember your web browser when
you visit our Site and are a necessary tool for quick
and efficient access to membership clubs, awards
programs and contests. A cookie will not allow the Site
to learn any Personal Information (such as your real
name and email address) that you have not otherwise
disclosed. Cookies and image tags allow the Site to
remember important information that will make your use
of that Site more helpful. We do not use cookies or
image tags to collect other Personal Information unless
you give us permission to do so.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time
a cookie or image tag is being sent, or you can choose
to turn off all such devices. This is done through your
browser. If you turn cookies off, you may not have
access to many features at our Site that make your
Internet experience more efficient and enjoyable - like
the features mentioned above - and some of our other
services may not function properly.
Security
Measures
We conduct the collection, management, maintenance and
storage of visitor information in a secure and
reasonable manner using acceptable standards of security
technology and practices (e.g., electronic security
systems and password protections) to protect against the
loss, misuse or alteration of Personal Information data.
We also request that our operational service providers
to also take such precautions. www.garycrow.com
databases are accessible only by authorized personnel.
However, please note that when users transmit Personal
Information over an unsecured Internet connection, the
Site is not responsible for the security of that
information during the transmission stage as your email
or registration could be copied or intercepted by
unknown third parties. We use a secured connection only
for the sale of goods and services but we do not use a
secured connection for other types of activities.
Therefore, you understand, acknowledge, and agree that
you transmit certain Personal Information over this Site
at your own risk.
Review,
Update, or Deletion of Personal Information
You may review, update or delete your Personal
Information collected by the Site. To do so, please
email the Site's Privacy Administrator at crow@garycrow.com
or click here. To
have access to your Personal Information, you must
provide proof of identification such as full name,
street address, city/state and zip code, user ID and
password, and/or information about your recent activity
on the website. We reserve the right to deny access to
any user if we believe there is a question about your
identity. Certain types of Personal Information that are
necessary to check eligibility, such as birthdate or
age, cannot be modified or deleted.
