PRIVACY POLICY
We believe you have a right to know what personal information is collected
during your visits to our web sites -- OrderGazette.com, EGazetteOnline.com,
GazetteExtra.com, JanesvilleClassifieds.com and JanesvilleHomefront.com -- and
how the information is used and safeguarded. You can view some of our content
anonymously, but circumstances exist when information about you is collected.
The information gathered falls into two categories: information you supply
voluntarily and information we gather through technology.
Information you supply voluntarily
To use certain features and services on our web sites,
you are asked to provide specific information about yourself. Examples of such
features and services include registering to access the news sections of
GazetteExtra.com, submitting information for publication, entering contests,
starting a print subscription, contacting us about a customer service problem,
or subscribing to an email newsletter or notifier. This
information is collected when you fill out a browser-based form and is
necessary to make the features useful and valuable. The forms have blank spaces
into which you type the information. In most cases, we collect information such
as your name, email address, telephone number, birth date and mailing address.
How we use information you supply voluntarily
We use the information you voluntarily supply to
develop and offer content that best suits your interests, to complete
transactions, or to communicate with you. For example, if you purchase a print
subscription, we use your information to process your order. If you contact us
for help, we use the information to contact you with a resolution to your
problem or answer to your question. If you enter a contest, we use the
information to determine eligibility and to contact winners. If you are a
registered user of EGazetteOnline.com or GazetteExtra,
we use the information to make you aware of special offers made available to
registered users.
Information gathered through technology
Technology helps us gather other information. Our web servers automatically
collect limited information about your computer's connection to the Internet,
including your IP address, which is usually associated with the place from which
you enter the Internet. You likely enter the Internet through your Internet
service provider, your company or your school. Your IP address does not
identify you personally. Your email address is not collected through this
process, and no data on your hard drive or personal or institutional servers
are read.
We also collect aggregate information on how many people visit our sites and
what pages people access on our sites. Some of this information is gathered
using a standard feature of browser software called a "cookie." A
cookie cannot read data on your hard drive or server or gather other personal
information about you such as your name or email address.
How we use information gathered through technology
The information gathered through technology helps us
make our sites more interesting and useful to you and other visitors. It helps
us evaluate the value of and interest in specific sections of our sites. We can
build better sites if we know which pages you and other people visit and how
often you and others visit those pages.
Sharing information with other parties
Personal information you voluntarily provide is used for internal purposes only
and is not shared with or sold to other businesses or organizations. Under no
circumstances is specific information about you or other individuals shared
with advertisers or other parties without your permission. Use of certain
interactive features, such as submitting a restaurant review in our online
dining guide, implies your permission to share your information. Situations
where permission is implied are clearly labeled on the browser-based forms. We
will share personal information with law enforcement officials as required
under subpoena or court order to protect the safety and security of our sites,
our visitors and the community. We do share aggregated statistics on site
visits and page views with advertisers to help them understand our audience and
confirm the value of advertising on our web sites. Personal information about
individuals is not shared with advertisers.
Special notice to children
Children should always get parental permission before sending any information
about themselves over the Internet -- to us or anyone else. We encourage
parents to review and share safety tips with their children using the Internet.
We do not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from
or about children under 13 except as permitted by law. If we discover we have
received any information from a child under 13 in violation of this policy, we will
delete that information immediately. If you believe we have any information
from or about anyone under 13, please contact us.
Notice regarding other online companies
The Janesville Gazette, Bliss Communications, Inc., and Bliss New Media are
affiliated with other online companies and providers, some of which feature our
branding. Our web sites also provide text and graphic links to web sites over
which we have no control or responsibility for content or business practices.
This policy statement does not apply to the web sites of those companies and
organizations. Please refer to these affiliated sites to obtain information on
their privacy policies. If you cannot find the privacy policy of these sites
via a link from the site's home page, you should contact the business or
organization directly for more information.
Our right to revise this policy
The Internet is an ever-changing medium. We reserve the right to alter or amend
this policy as required by changes in business strategy or developments in technology.
If changes are required, we will post the changes before they go into effect.
The use of information gathered while the current policy is in effect will be
consistent with the current policy, even if we change the policy later.
