INTERNET PRIVACY POLICY
Your personal privacy is a principal concern to us at GO GRAYS HARBOR.

When you provide your personal information on GO GRAYS HARBOR Website, we will not give or sell your personal information to any outside company for its use in marketing or solicitation without your permission, which may be express or implied. We will maintain the confidentiality of your personal information and it will be used only to support your customer relationship with our radio stations and to assist us in providing better and more targeted services to you. Additionally, internal practices are in place to help protect your privacy by limiting employee access to and use of customer information. When we ask

HOW WE COLLECT INFORMATION
When you browse GO GRAYS HARBOR Website, you do so anonymously. Personal
information—including your e-mail address—is not collected. However, there are three (3) ways in which a GO GRAYS HARBOR Website may collect information about you.
1. GO GRAYS HARBOR Website may request that you voluntarily provide personal information for purposes such as correspondence, site registration, membership, making a purchase, or participating in contests or online surveys. Information that we ask you to provide may include your name, e-mail address, telephone number, mailing address and birth date. We may also request that you provide listener/customer preference information, lifestyle interests, and other demographic information that may be needed to register or subscribe you to services or offers.
2. Like many other commercial websites, GO GRAYS HARBOR Website may use a standard technology called a “cookie” to collect information about how our websites are used. Cookies are small text files on your system used for keeping track of settings or data for a particular website. You may turn them off through your browser or set your browser to notify you before accepting them. Some GO GRAYS HARBOR Websites use cookies to store information necessary to provide a service or access into a site. Any information that we may store in cookies is used for internal purposes only.
- Each time a GO GRAYS HARBOR Website page is requested from your browser, we log your computer’s IP address into our log files. Your computer has been pre-assigned a 12-digit number from your Internet Service Provider and may be static or dynamically assigned—this number is the IP address. GO GRAYS HARBOR uses IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track movements on the site, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to any other personally identifiable information by GO GRAYS HARBOR.
THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We collect only information that is needed, and we tell listeners/customers how we use it. We limit the collection of information about our listeners/customers to what we need to know to manage their membership, to provide customer service, to offer new products and services, and to fulfill any legal and regulatory requirements. We tell our listeners/customers about the general uses of information we collect about them, and we will provide additional explanation if requested. A listener/customer may change, update or add additional information about themselves at any time through the GO GRAYS HARBOR Websites that offer this feature. If a GO GRAYS HARBOR Website does not currently provide this ability, listeners/customers can still change their data profile by contacting the radio station at by e-mail at gabby@jodesha.com.
SECURITY
Access to listener/customer information is limited to those who specifically need it to conduct their business responsibilities. We use security techniques designed to protect our listener/customer information—especially information that is used by employees and business partners to fulfill listener/customer services. In addition to providing listeners/customers with the opportunity to refuse marketing offers, we release information only at the listeners’/customers’ requests, or when required to do so by law or other regulatory authority. When a court order or subpoena requires us to release information, we notify the listener/customer directly so that his/her legal rights can be exercised, if appropriate. The only exceptions to this policy are when we are prohibited by court order or law from notifying the listener/customer, or cases in which fraud and/or criminal activity is suspected. Finally, each GO GRAYS HARBOR employee is personally responsible for maintaining listener and customer confidentiality. All GO GRAYS HARBOR employees are required to sign an agreement that they will comply with these policies. Employees who violate these policies are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. Employees are expected to report violations—and may do so confidentially—to their managers or other supervisors.
