Web Beacons and Other Technologies We may use standard Internet technology, such as web beacons and similar technologies, to track your use of 107.1 The Drive’s Web Site. Web beacons (sometimes called transparent GIFs, clear GIFs, or web bugs) are small strings of code that provide a way for us to deliver a small graphic image (usually invisible) on a web page or in an email. Web beacons can recognize certain types of information on your computer such as cookies, the time and date a page is viewed, and a description of the page where the web beacon is placed. We use web beacons to improve your experience on our Web Sites, including to provide you with content customized to your interests and to understand whether users read email messages and click on links contained within those messages so that we can deliver relevant content and offers. Our web beacons may collect some contact information (for example, the email address associated with an email message that contains a web beacon). 107.1 The Drive’s Web Site also may include third-party web beacons so that these third parties may receive auditing, research, and reporting information about advertisements viewed on 107.1 The Drive’s Web Site. Third parties do not have access to your contact information in connection with their use of web beacons. Mobile Devices Certain mobile devices contain unique identifiers that can be used, for example, to identify the physical location of such devices. Mobile devices also typically transmit caller ID data when used to transmit a telephone call or text message. 107.1 The Drive’s Web Site may collect, use, transmit, process, and maintain unique identifiers, caller ID data, location-based data, and similar information when you rely on mobile devices, including to provide the services you request, tell you about offers we think you will value, and improve your experience on 107.1 The Drive’s Web Site. 107.1 The Drive’s Web Site also may require collection of your mobile phone number in order for you to participate in certain services or features and that number may be associated with such information. 107.1 The Drive Online Advertising In order to customize your experience on 107.1 The Drive’s Web Site, we may use cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to collect information about the content and advertisements you view on our Web Sites. Based on this information, and other information we may collect about you, we try to infer your interests and show content and advertising that is more relevant to you. For example, if you access an article about computers on 107.1 The Drive’s Web Site, we may show you a computer-related advertisement on another Up North Radio LLC Web Site based on your apparent interests. We also may receive information from third parties about you and your activities on other sites for the purpose of serving relevant advertisements to you on 107.1 The Drive’s Web Site. For example, if you access an article on a third-party site about computers, we may use that information to serve you with a computer-related advertisement on 107.1 The Drive’s Web Site. Please note that we may share information about our users with advertisers so that they can measure the effectiveness of advertisements viewed on 107.1 The Drive’s Web Site. For example, we may tell advertisers the number of users who clicked on a particular advertisement. These online-advertising efforts across 107.1 The Drive’s Web Site do not result in you seeing more advertisements, just more relevant advertising, and they allow us to provide you with free content and services on our Web Sites. We hope you value our efforts to show you content and advertising that more closely reflects your interests. Some of the advertisements you see on 107.1 The Drive’s Web Site are delivered by third parties. To learn more, please read about third-party online advertising. Third-Party Online Advertising Some of the advertisements you see on 107.1 The Drive’s Web Site are delivered by third parties who also collect information through cookies, web beacons, and other technologies about your online activities, either on our Web Sites or across the Internet, in an effort to understand your interests and deliver you advertisements that are tailored to your interests.

Please note that 107.1 The Drive does not have access to the information these third parties may collect about your interests to deliver relevant advertising to you, and the information practices of these third parties are not covered by this Privacy Policy. Third parties that currently serve ads on our Web Sites, and thereby may collect information about your online activities on such Web Sites to deliver tailored ads, include, but are not limited to, Atlas, DoubleClick, Eyeblaster, EyeWonder, and Pointroll.

In either case, your communication may be subject to review by members of the general public, as required by Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) regulations. Be advised that we are not responsible for information that may be disclosed if your communication is made available for review by members of the general public in compliance with FCC regulations. Children’s Privacy Policy We recognize the need to provide additional privacy protections when children visit the sites on which this Children’s Privacy Policy is posted. The following guidelines supplement our general Privacy Policy and follow the rules set by the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and other applicable laws. “Child” means an individual under 13 years of age or an individual under 18 where the collection, use or disclosure of personal information about such an individual is restricted by applicable law. When we use the term “parent” below, we mean to include legal guardians. Information We Collect Children can enjoy content and features on 107.1 The Drive’s Web Site without directly providing contact information. However, children who wish to participate in sweepstakes, contests, and certain other special activities may need to provide information such as first name, user name, password, email address, date of birth, city and state of residence, and gender. In the course of participating in interactive features such as chat rooms and message boards, a child may provide us with additional information about himself or herself, such as the contents of his or her postings. Some information, including information collected through cookies, web beacons, and other technologies, may be collected automatically. For more information, see the “information we collect automatically” section of our general Privacy Policy. If we collect, use, or disclose contact information collected from a child, we will provide notice and obtain parental consent in accordance with applicable law. We do not condition a child’s participation in an online activity on the child’s providing more contact information than is reasonably necessary to participate in that activity. Use of Information We use the information we collect consistent with the services requested by the child. For example, we may use information provided by the child to:

  • Send a newsletter, electronic card, and other communication requested by the child;
  • Enable a child’s participation in certain interactive features such as games, contests, message boards, chat rooms, song requests, and online scrolling tickers; and
  • Respond to correspondence sent by the child.

In addition, we may use a parent’s contact information to communicate with the parent regarding the child’s activities on 107.1 The Drive’s Web Site. For example, if a child wins a sweepstakes or contest, we may use the parent’s contact information to conduct prize fulfillment. Disclosure of Information Information collected from children will be disclosed in the same ways described in the “Disclosure of Information” section of our general Privacy Policy. Third parties who receive contact information collected by 107.1 The Drive have agreed to maintain the confidentiality, security, and integrity of that information. Parents have the option not to consent to the disclosure of their child’s contact information to third parties. Parents may consent to 107.1 The Drive’s collection and use of their child’s contact information while refusing to permit the disclosure of that information to third parties. Parents’ Choices and Access to Children’s Information Parents may review the contact information we have collected from their child, refuse to permit us to collect further contact information from their child, and request that any contact information we have collected be deleted from our records. Parents may also correct factual inaccuracies. To review, update, or delete your child’s contact information, please contact us.  You may also send your request to the postal address listed below. To protect your child’s safety, we ask for proof of your identification. We may deny access if we believe there is a question about your identity. Certain information cannot be deleted because of other legal obligations, such as FCC requirements. Changes to the Children’s Privacy Policy We may amend our Children’s Privacy Policy at any time. We will provide parents with notice of any material changes in the way we intend to collect, use, and share children’s contact information. Please note that, at all times, parents should update their contact information to provide us with current email addresses. We will apply material changes in our Children’s Privacy Policy only in conformance with applicable law.
