The following Privacy Policy covers KQED, KQEI, KTEH, and KQET, all services of Northern California
Public Broadcasting, Inc. (NCPB).
Nothing is more important to NCPB than protecting the private information
of visitors to our site. Below you'll find information about our commitment
to ensuring the privacy of your and your children’s personally identifiable
information (such as your full name, address, email address, telephone
number and/or other identifying information) and preserving the integrity
of the medium.
Please read the following carefully. If you have any questions or concerns,
please send us an email at webmaster@kqed.org.
Gathering and Use of Information
NCPB will never willfully disclose any personally identifiable information
about our online audience to any third party without first receiving the
user’s permission. We do not collect personally identifiable information
from our visitors other than what is supplied to us on a voluntary basis.
Visitors to the NCPB website may voluntarily supply certain personally
identifiable information in connection with (i) contest or sweepstakes
registration, (ii) subscription registration for sites or services which
require subscription (such as email newsletters), (iii) requests for
membership information and (iv) e-commerce transactions. In addition,
personally identifiable information is voluntarily provided in connection
with certain content submissions, community postings (i.e., forums or
bulletin boards), comments and suggestions, or voting.
NCPB may use such information only for conducting the activities stated
above, for internal marketing and promotional purposes, or, on occasion,
when mailing lists are made available to other organizations.
(The occasional provision of mailing lists to such organizations is the
only case where such information would be provided to third parties).
For more information regarding NCPB's policies on the handling and use of
NCPB's membership list, please see
NCPB's Membership List Policy.
The extent of such use is always explained at the time a site visitor
provides such information. If the visitor does not want this information
collected and used by us for the disclosed internal purposes, the visitor
is given an opportunity to "opt-out." Our visitors need to recognize,
however, that under certain circumstances, if they select to "opt-out"
they may not be eligible for certain activities for which the personally
identifiable information is needed. (For example, if a contest participant
elects to "opt-out" on permitting us to collect and use their personal
information, we cannot contact them if they win without using such information.)
