Information Automatically Logged

The server collects the IP address, browser signature, and operating system signature for every page/document request. We also log what documents are requested and whether or not the request was successfully fulfilled.   This information is only used to make our site more useful to our visitors and is not used to identify individuals.

Personal Information

When you choose to provide personal information, WVTF stores the information you provide in a secure database. This information is used to fulfill your requests for certain services and, unless you opt-out, to inform you about various items of interest related to public radio.

WVTF will never sell or rent your personally identifiable information to other outside companies, clubs, organizations or individuals.

Security

The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with our users is of great concern to us. Financial information, if collected, is transmitted from your computer to our server using encryption software which makes the data in transmission undecipherable to third parties. Only those employees who need access to our users’ information in order to do their jobs and fulfill your requests are allowed access.

Opting-Out

Please note that in order to fulfill certain obligations, we may need to continue sending you notices or other important information concerning any orders or services you request.

Requesting to See Your Personal Information

You may request via e-mail or regular mail that we provide you with the personal information we have concerning you. Once you receive this information, you may request that we modify or remove any of your personal information from our systems. We will verify your identity before sending you this information and you assume all responsibility of how the information is used after it leaves our email servers.
