Privacy Statement

You have come to this page from a Web site produced by Classical South Florida. We recognize the importance of privacy to visitors to any Classical South Florida Web site, and we want every user (you) to know how we collect and use information about you when you visit our Web sites. This privacy policy explains what type of information is collected from you when you visit this and other Classical South Florida Web sites, and how we may use that information.

Information we automatically gather when you visit Classical South Florida Web sites

Like virtually all other Web servers, Classical South Florida's Web server automatically creates log files for each visitor who accesses our site. These "access logs" allow us to make our site more useful to our visitors. The access logs do not record a visitor's name, address, phone number, credit card numbers, or any other personally identifying information. Rather, these log files may contain some or all of the following information:

The date of the visit
The time and length of the visit
The path taken through the Web site
The browser being used
A list of files downloaded or viewed
The amount of time spent listening to audio files
The Internet Protocol Address (IP Address) of the machine accessing our Web site*
Any errors encountered

*Most Internet Service Providers use a "dynamic" form of assigning IP Addresses. This means that a visitor may have a different IP address each time he or she visits an Classical South Florida Web site. Also, many Internet Service Providers, including America Online, use "proxy servers," which provide even more anonymity for visitors.

We use this information to aid the technical administration of the sites and to better understand how each site is functioning for its users. This information may be correlated with your profile, if you have provided this data, to provide special "personalized" services. This information may also be used in aggregate form.

We may track your visit to sections of our Web sites in order for some site features to function properly for you. In some instances, "cookies" or a similar technology may be used to update your registration records with session information. If you do not wish to accept a cookie from Classical South Florida's servers, you can adjust the settings on your browser accordingly. Refusing to accept cookies from the Classical South Florida server may result in some limits on the benefits that we can automatically provide as you enjoy the Classical South Florida Web sites.

Information you give us

Classical South Florida does not collect personally identifying information from Classical South Florida Web sites unless you choose to provide that information to us. Visitors under the age of 13 must obtain permission from their parents or guardians before sending any personally identifying information to Classical South Florida.

Name and contact information

Classical South Florida may ask visitors (you) to provide certain personal information when you: register for a contest; sign up for an e-mail list; request information; purchase products or services; contribute material that may be used on the Web site (e.g., recipes or program reviews); participate in a discussion board or chat; or use an Classical South Florida form to become a member of Classical South Florida. You will also have the opportunity to request future e-mail contact from Classical South Florida regarding its programs and Web sites. Classical South Florida tells you whether a specific piece of information is required at the time it is requested.

This information may be used by Classical South Florida to: verify your identity; manage a contest; gather your editorial comments and feedback; contact you for additional information or administrative purposes; provide attribution for any submitted content of yours published by Classical South Florida, and fulfill your order or request. If you opt-in to request future contact from Classical South Florida, you may receive e-mail regarding its programs and Web sites; otherwise, Classical South Florida will contact you only if necessary for the purposes above.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise at the time of submission, the personally identifying information you provide will not be sold, shared, or used for purposes other than listed above. If Classical South Florida does wish to add your information to a shared list, it will do so only if you provide permission when you submit your information-by default, your information will not be added; you must "opt-in."

Classical South Florida uses shared lists to maximize the benefits it can provide through its network of public radio Web sites and through qualified associations. If you allow it, your name and basic contact information may be exchanged for consideration with select companies and organizations, including with public radio stations and programs. These companies and organizations may attempt to contact you to promote a product or service that they offer. Such contacts from third parties will only be made with Classical South Florida's consent, and Classical South Florida will only grant its consent when Classical South Florida considers the offer to be of potential interest and benefit to our Web site users.

Classical South Florida will not share, exchange, rent, or sell any of its lists to political parties or candidates for political office.

If you do not want your name and contact information to be used in this way, you may indicate this at the time you provide the information. If you decide after you have provided this information that you do not want Classical South Florida to share your information with any company or organization, you may also notify us by e-mailing at American Public Media. Classical South Florida cannot remove your name from any third party's list; you will have to contact them directly.

The Direct Marketing Association (DMA) offers a Mail Preference Service that is designed to assist consumers in decreasing the amount of nonprofit or commercial mail they receive at home. For more information about this service, visit the DMA Web site at: www.the-dma.org and click on the "Consumers" tab.

Demographic and Personal Information

Classical South Florida occasionally conducts online surveys, sometimes in association with a contest or other offer. These surveys may ask you for demographic information such as ZIP code, age, education, or income level. Unless otherwise explicitly indicated at the time you provide the information, this information is used in an aggregate form to help us understand our audiences and improve our services. Demographic and profile information may be shared with selected third-party organizations, only on an aggregate basis, to describe the nature of our online audiences.
