GENERAL PRIVACY GUIDELINES
PHANTOM RADIO NETWORK PRIVACY POLICY
www.PhantomRadioNetwork.com ("Site," "us," or "we") is the
official website for Internet Radio Station “Phantom Radio Live”
("Station"). This Site is owned and operated by The Phantom
Radio Network ("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 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 website. This Privacy Policy is a part of the Site's Terms
of Use Agreement, which is binding on all Site users. 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
(collectively, "Advertisers"). For example, for the
Station, Site or our corporate affiliates 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.
Unless specified otherwise on the Site, all users must be at
least 18 years of age and a legal resident of the United States
to participate in any activity that requires the submission of
Personal Information. This Site is designed and targeted to
United States (U.S.) audiences and is governed by and operated
in accordance with the laws of the United States . We make no
representation that this Site is operated in accordance with the
laws or governed by other nations. By your participation in our
Site activities, you certify that you are at least 18 years of
age and located in the U.S. If you are located elsewhere outside
of the U.S. and you participate in activities on this Site
contrary to our policy that only U.S. residents are eligible for
certain activities, you do so at your own risk and initiative,
and are responsible for compliance with any applicable local
laws.
Please be aware that any Personal Information you transfer to us
will be transferred to the U.S and subject to U.S. law. By using
this Site, participating in any Site activities, and/or
providing us with your Personal Information, you consent to this
transfer of Personal Information to the U.S., and waive any
claims that may arise under your own national laws. 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,
fraudulent, or inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.
Your continued participation on this Site indicates your
acceptance of this Privacy Policy and of the collection, use,
disclosure, management and storage of your Personal Information
as described below. We may from time to time, transfer or merge
any Personal Information collected off-line to our online
databases or store off-line information in an electronic format.
We may also combine Personal Information we collect online with
information available from other sources, including information
received from Advertisers, or marketing companies. This Privacy
Policy covers all such Personal Information and will remain in
full force and effect as long as you are a user of the Site or a
participant in Station activities. 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
immediately upon posting. Therefore, we encourage you to check
this Privacy Policy often.
We use your Personal Information to provide you with the
features, services, or goods you request and to respond to
billing and/or other such questions related to the Station or
Site. We will also use your Personal Information to notify you,
if you request, about updates, new features, programming and
activities on behalf of the Station, Site, or our Advertisers
that may be of interest to you. (We explain below in the next
section what our policy is for the collection, use and
disclosure of Personal Information to Advertisers.) We may also
use your information for hiring, operational and business
purposes, or to find out how we can improve our Station and Site
via surveys or online tracking mechanisms. We use aggregate
Personal Information to help us to evaluate and modify existing
services and features. We also use your Personal Information to
develop new services and features that may be of interest to
you. We will not sell, exchange, rent, lease or otherwise
disclose your Personal Information or Sensitive Personal
Information to other third party marketers or any such persons
that are not associated with the Station as 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 the Station; or 4) to enforce
the Terms of Use Agreement.
In the event that the assets or stock of the Station, its
corporate licensee or parent company(s) are sold or transferred,
merged with a different company or entity, restructured, or
subject to other fundamental corporate changes, we reserve the
right to disclose any and all databases compiled from Personal
Information or Sensitive Personal Information collected by the
Station to such successor. We will seek to obligate the
Station's successor to agree to the terms of the Privacy Policy,
as it may hereafter be modified, but cannot guarantee that we
will be able to do so or that the successor company will comply
with this obligation.
We reserve the right to collect Personal Information using any
new technology yet to be developed and to use such technology to
provide new services and features to you, as well as for
marketing and promotional purposes. Specific information
regarding your choice to Opt-in or to Opt-out to such use, or
for sharing your Personal Information with Advertisers, will be
provided once the new technology, service, or feature is
introduced.
DISCLOSURE TO 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, or via an email notice. 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" click boxes that may be included
on the registration area for the particular activity or event,
in an email, or notify the Site's Privacy Administrator at
webmaster@phantomradionetwork.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" click boxes that may be included on the registration
area for the particular event, or alternatively, notify the
Site's Privacy Administrator. Please note that this notification
process is different than the one for Advertisers.
We also provide you with an option to "Opt-out" of receiving
advertising and promotional email from us in compliance with
federal law by installing an Opt-out mechanism with all such
email messages. You must use the designated method in the email
message to notify us of your Opt-out request, as we cannot
guarantee that other methods of notification will be effective
or timely. Please be aware that we may continue to contact you
via email for administrative or informational purposes,
including follow-up messages regarding contests you have entered
or other transactions you have undertaken. By law, such messages
are not considered to be commercial email.
We are not responsible for removing your Personal Information
from third party lists or entities which you have previously
authorized us to share your information. You will need to
contact those entities directly.
SHOPPING & E-COMMERCE
If this Site sells goods and/or services or provides auction
services we will request Sensitive Personal Information that
includes your credit card, debit card or other payment
information. Alternatively, the Site may use a third party
operational service provider to conduct the financial
transaction in a secured manner; the third party payment will be
accessible via a hyperlink from the Site and will be solely
responsible for all financial transactions and the collection,
use, and storage of your Personal Information. The Site may
request additional Personal Information such as 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 will be encrypted or collected though a
secured Internet connection generally via SSL or S-HTTP
protocols. Such Sensitive Personal Information will also be
stored in a commercially reasonable secure manner. We may use
your Personal Information, (but not your credit card or debit
card number) to contact you about future products, services and
discounts from the Station or to provide such information
indirectly from our Advertisers, unless you tell us otherwise
("Opt-out"). We will only use your credit card and debit card
number to complete the specific transaction you requested.
CHAT ROOMS, MESSAGE BOARDS AND PUBLIC AREAS
For your enjoyment and entertainment, this Site may offer user
interactive activities such as chat rooms, message boards,
and/or public forums ("Public Areas"). We do not share any
Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information that is
entered into the Public Area registration section on the Site
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 we may, without liability to any user: 1) disclose such
content if required to do so by law or to comply with legal
processes; 2) to respond to claims that any of the content
violates the property, privacy, publicity or other rights of
others; or 3) to protect the rights, property or safety of the
Site, the Station, its employees, users and members of the
public. For more information on this Site's rules of conduct for
these Public Areas, please see our Terms of Use Agreement.
MONITORING AND USE OF AGGREGATE PERSONAL INFORMATION
We reserve the right to monitor and edit any Personal
Information about our users, including information about the use
of website activities and services, 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 or Privacy Policy. We
will take such measures if we believe it is necessary to protect
the security, integrity, and operations of this Site or Station.
Without disclosure of Personal Information or Sensitive Personal
Information about individual users, we may provide aggregate
statistics about our users, traffic patterns and related website
information to Advertisers, reputable third party vendors or
marketing companies.
ADVERTISING AND OTHER THIRD PARTY CONTENT
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 purchase goods or
services offered through, or otherwise participate in or send
messages concerning such advertising, promotions or third party
content offered through the Site. Such correspondence,
transactions 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 party websites that
could be of interest to our users, including the websites of our
Advertisers. As stated in our Terms of Use Agreement, the
Station does not own or control these websites and therefore, is
not responsible for the content, business practices, nor
operations of such websites. Third party websites linked on this
Site may have different privacy policies and business practices
than we do. The presence of a link to a third party website does
not constitute or imply our endorsement, recommendation, or
sponsorship of the third party content, goods, or services
available through, or contained on, the Site. By use of this
Site, you have agreed that you will use the hyperlinks to third
party sites at your own risk.
Off-Line Collection, Use, and Disclosure of Personal Information
The Station also collects and uses Personal Information by other
means, via on-air broadcasts, telephone, direct mail, and direct
from members of the public. The various uses of such Personal
Information include, but are not limited to, contests &
sweepstakes, loyal listener club registration, other special
membership only features/events, news-tip lines, job
applications, listener complaints, and operational and business
purposes. Except for contests & sweepstakes entries, or
registrations for a loyal listener or other special membership
features/events, we do not ordinarily use your Personal
Information collected off-line for promotional or advertising
purposes, nor do we share it with third parties for promotional
or marketing purposes. If Personal Information collected
off-line will be used by the Station, its parent company(s), or
corporate affiliates for promotional and marketing purposes, you
will have the opportunity to Opt-out of such use. If such
information will be shared with Advertisers, you will have the
same rights as provided for the disclosure of Personal
Information collected online.
Security Measures
We conduct the collection, management, maintenance and storage
of listener or website user information in a secure and
commercially reasonable manner using acceptable industry
standards of security technology and practices (such as
electronic security systems and password protections) to protect
against the loss, misuse or alteration of Personal Information.
We also request that our operational service providers take such
precautions. phantomradionetwork.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 collection of Sensitive Personal
Information, which is necessary for the purchase of goods or
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
Generally, you may review, update or delete your Personal
Information or Sensitive Personal Information collected by the
Site. You may also correct factual inaccuracies. Certain types
of Personal Information that are necessary to check eligibility,
such as birth date or age, cannot be deleted, but may be
modified with sufficient verification of the new information.
Note that we reserve the right to terminate or delete any
membership or entry if we believe the Personal Information
submitted was knowingly false or fraudulent. To review, update
or delete your Personal Information or Sensitive Personal
Information collected by the Site, please email the Site's
Privacy Administrator at webmaster@phantomradionetwork.com. To
have access to your Personal Information or Sensitive 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. And if the
burden or expense of providing access to your Personal
Information is disproportionate to the risks to your privacy, or
if the legitimate rights of others would be violated, we may
decide not to provide access to such information. In such cases,
we will provide to you an explanation of why access cannot be
provided and a contact person for further inquiries. |
