5. Cookies, Web Beacons, and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance and personalize your online experience. These technologies may be used to:

Store visitor preferences.
Record session information and user-specific information about pages accessed or visited.
Help us understand how visitors use the Services.
Customize content, promotions, and ads based on your interests and browser or device information.
Prevent you from seeing the same promotions repeatedly.

Cookies are small data files stored on your device. Some cookies may remain on your device until you delete them, while others are deleted when you close your browser.

We may also use web beacons, also known as pixel tags, in our sites and email communications to help measure traffic, understand usage, and determine whether our emails have been opened and acted upon.

You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being set. However, certain features of the Services may not function properly without cookies. For information on how to manage cookies, please see your browser’s Help section.

We may also use remarketing and similar audience tools, for example through Google Analytics or other platforms, so that third-party vendors, including Google, can show our ads on other websites based on your past visits to our Services. You can learn more about Google’s data practices and opt-out options through Google’s own privacy and ads settings.

6. Third-Party Content, Links, and Advertising

Our Services may contain links to other websites, apps, or services operated by third parties, as well as embedded content or features, such as social-media buttons or widgets. The information practices of those third parties are not governed by this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you use.

We may work with third-party advertising companies and networks to display or serve advertisements on our Services and elsewhere online. These third parties may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to collect information about your visits to our Services and other websites, such as your IP address, browser, pages viewed, and time spent, in order to deliver ads that are more relevant to you and to measure the effectiveness of their campaigns.

We may use advertising, analytics, and remarketing technologies that allow us and our advertising partners to show more relevant advertising and measure campaign performance. Depending on applicable law, this activity may be considered targeted advertising, sharing, or a sale of personal information.

You may be able to limit certain interest-based advertising through your browser settings, device settings, platform privacy settings, and industry opt-out tools.

We do not sell or rent your name, email address, phone number, or contest-entry information to third parties for their own independent marketing purposes without your consent.

We do not control how third-party advertisers collect or use information. Their practices are governed by their own privacy policies.

7. Contests, Sweepstakes, and Co-Sponsored Promotions

From time to time, we may offer contests, sweepstakes, giveaways, or other promotions, some focused in the Four States area and others open more broadly across the United States. When you participate, we will collect the information needed to administer the promotion, such as your name, contact details, eligibility information, and any other details required under the official rules.

In some cases, promotions may be co-branded or co-sponsored with identified third parties, such as advertisers, sponsors, or partners. Where this is the case:

We will identify the sponsor or co-sponsor in the promotion materials and/or official rules.
The sponsor or co-sponsor may receive the information you provide when you enter.
The sponsor or co-sponsor’s use of your information will be governed by its own privacy policy.

Each promotion is also subject to its applicable official rules. If there is a conflict between this Privacy Policy and the official rules for a specific promotion, the official rules will control for that promotion.

We encourage you to review the privacy policy and official rules for each promotion before participating.

8. Email, SMS, Push Notifications, and Other Communications

When you opt in to receive email newsletters or promotional messages, we use your contact information to send you updates about our stations, contests, events, and offers from us and our partners.

If you participate in SMS or text campaigns, or use a text line associated with one of our stations:

We will use the phone number and message content to manage the program and respond to you.
Message frequency may vary, and message and data rates may apply.
You can text STOP to the relevant station text line to opt out of future SMS messages and HELP for assistance.

We do not share SMS opt-in data or consent with third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

If you enable push notifications in one of our mobile apps, we may send you alerts, breaking news, weather information, contest updates, programming information, and promotional messages. You can turn off push notifications at any time through your device or app settings.

9. How We Share Information

We limit our sharing of personal information to the circumstances described in this Privacy Policy. We may share information:

With service providers and vendors who perform services on our behalf, for example hosting, analytics, email delivery, contest administration, prize fulfillment, weather services, app support, and technical support. These parties are required to protect the information and use it only to provide services to us.
With promotion sponsors or co-sponsors, as described in the promotion’s official rules.
When you post content publicly, for example comments, submissions, or other user-generated content, in which case that content may be seen, used, or shared by others.
In response to legal process, such as a court order, subpoena, law-enforcement request, or to comply with applicable laws.
When we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected illegal activities, fraud, threats to safety, or violations of our Terms of Use or contest rules.
In connection with a corporate transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or similar event. In such cases, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction.
With your consent or at your direction.

We take reasonable steps to help ensure that agents and contractors who have access to personal information protect it in a manner consistent with this Policy.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, administer contests and promotions, maintain business and legal records, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and comply with applicable law.

The length of time we retain information depends on the nature of the information, why it was collected, and our legal, operational, or recordkeeping obligations.

11. Your Choices

You have choices about how we use and share your information:

Email marketing: You can opt out of promotional emails by following the unsubscribe instructions in those messages or by contacting us.
Cookies and tracking: You can adjust your browser or device settings to limit or block cookies and certain other tracking technologies.
Location data: You can disable location services for our mobile apps through your device settings or app permissions.
Push notifications: You can turn off app notifications through your device or app settings.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights regarding access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, or rights to limit certain types of processing. We will honor such rights where they apply and in accordance with applicable law.

To submit a request regarding personal information, please contact us using the information in Section 15.

12. Children’s Privacy

Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 online. We encourage parents and guardians to monitor their children’s use of the internet.

We generally intend our contests and promotions for adults or older teens, as specified in the official rules. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it as soon as possible.

13. Security

We use reasonable physical, technical, and administrative safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. You use the Services and provide information at your own risk.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or other factors. When we do, we will post the updated Policy on this page and revise the “Last updated” date at the top.

We encourage you to review this Policy periodically so that you know what information we collect, how we use it, and with whom we share it. In some cases, we may provide additional notice, such as by email or prominent notice on our Services, of material changes as required by law.
