Updated
as of March 3, 2004
This Privacy Policy discloses the general privacy
practices for the Belo Interactive web sites, including KMOV.com. Belo Interactive,
Inc. ("Belo Interactive") is a subsidiary of Belo Corp.
Belo Interactive
is committed to respecting your privacy rights when visiting any Belo Interactive
web site, such as this one. To protect your Personal Information, Belo Interactive
has created the guidelines outlined below. Understanding that Internet technologies
are rapidly evolving, any changes to this policy will be promptly posted on this
page, with an updated "effective date" posted at the end of this policy.
Information Collected:
While visiting any of the Belo Interactive
web sites (collectively, the "Site"), we may ask you to register and/or provide
information that personally identifies you ("Personal Information") for purposes
of interacting with the Site. Such Personal Information may include, but is not
limited to, your name, phone number, street address, and e-mail address. On any
page that collects Personal Information, we will specifically describe what information
is required in order to provide you with the product or service, enter you in
the promotion you have requested, or respond to your inquiry or comment.
What are Cookies? A cookie is a small data text file that a web site sends
to your browser, which is stored on your system. The Site can only access the
information from a cookie sent by the Site. We cannot access cookies sent by other
web sites or the information contained therein. Additionally, we cannot learn
your e-mail address or any other information about you through the use of a cookie.
The only way we would learn such information is if you specifically and voluntarily
submit that information to us, for example, through a registration system, or
by entering a sweepstakes or promotion.
We use an advertising server
developed by a third party to display ads on the Site. Some of these ads may contain
cookies that are sent by third parties (e.g. advertising agencies or advertising
clients). We do not have access to these cookies or any information that they
contain. We encourage you to contact the advertiser or its privacy policy for
more information on these cookies. Links from other Web sites that appear on the
Site may also send cookies; but we do not control such activities.
Why
does the Site use cookies? Belo Interactive uses cookies to track usage of
the Site and further personalize your experience when you are visiting the Site.
By tracking usage, we can best determine what features of the Site best serve
the users.
What benefits do I receive from cookies? Overall, the
use of cookies helps to give you a more personalized experience at the Site. The
information is used to keep our Site fresh and relevant to you the user. Cookies
also identify you to our server, allowing you to avoid retyping your e-mail address
and password each time you access the Site.
May I decline to accept
a cookie? You may decline to accept cookies sent by the Site by selecting
an option on your browser to reject cookies. However, portions of the Site which
require registration will not be accessible to you. In such cases, we ask that
you register and provide us with basic information on our registration page, or
sign in if previously registered. Cookies enable our server to know that you are
a registered user, and will eliminate the need for you to log in each time you
access our Site.
IP Addresses: Belo Interactive logs IP addresses,
or the location of your computer on the Internet, for systems administration and
troubleshooting purposes and to determine site usage. Your IP address does not
contain personal information about you.
Use of Personal Information
We believe in protecting your privacy, and will not share Personal
Information with third parties outside of Belo Corp. except as described in this
Privacy Policy. We believe we can enhance your experience on our Site with the
information you share with us. We use Personal Information about you to improve
our advertising and marketing efforts, to statistically analyze Site usage, to
improve our content and product offerings and to personalize the Site's content,
layout, and services. We may also use your Personal Information, such as your
e-mail address or mailing address, to contact you regarding products and/or services
that may be of interest to you, to respond to an inquiry from you regarding the
information that we have collected, or respond to your comments and suggestions.
Belo Interactive may match specific and/or aggregated Personal Information
with third party data to provide you with product and content offerings that interest
you and improve our advertising and marketing efforts. Belo Interactive also may
disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to potential
advertisers, partners, other third parties, our affiliate companies, and for other
lawful purposes.
As part of your experience on our Site, you may receive
communications from us related to products and services that might interest you.
While we believe these services will enhance your experience at our Site, you
will at all times be able to opt out from receiving these communications, either
by specifically opting out of these services or by deleting your profile from
our database. Please refer to "Opting-Out" for further reference.
We
have today, and will in the future have, arrangements with third party service
providers, such as credit card processors, shipping companies and fulfillment
services. When you sign up for a service we offer on the Site, we may be required
to share Personal Information with that service provider in order to provide the
service. These third party providers are required to comply with this policy and
protect your information in the same way we do. They are not permitted to retain
or use Personal Information for any purpose unrelated to providing the service.
Belo Interactive may also offer other services as a part of our Site
(e.g., car buying service, personalized finance and weather information alerts,
contests, sweepstakes and other promotions with unaffiliated third parties). If
you choose to use these optional services or opportunities, we may provide some
of your Personal Information to these parties. We will not do so without telling
you in advance, and you can avoid having us make such disclosures by choosing
not to use these services or features of the Site. Some of these third parties
may also collect their own Personal Information in connection with providing the
service. We encourage you to check the applicable privacy policy for that portion
of the Site prior to disclosing Personal Information. Please refer to "Party Collecting
the Information" for further reference.
We may provide Personal Information
to our affiliated companies in order to improve our marketing and advertising
efforts and your experience with our Site. Although this Privacy Policy generally
applies only to Belo Interactive, and not to activities or information collected
by our offline partners, in the event we share Personal Information you provide
us on the Site, we will require that our affiliated companies comply with this
policy with respect to that information and protect your information in the same
way we do.
We reserve the right to disclose Personal Information when
needed to comply with the law or a legal process, cooperate with investigations
of purported unlawful activities, to identify persons violating the law, or in
connection with the sale of part or all of Belo Interactive's or its affiliate's
stock or assets.
Party Collecting the Information
This
Privacy Policy only addresses the use and dissemination of information that we
collect from you. To the extent that you disclose any information to other parties,
whether through, for example, on-line auctions, chat rooms, personal ads, or the
like, through third party services or promotions offered on or through the Site
or through other web sites throughout the Internet, different policies may apply
and Belo Interactive shall not be responsible for the use or dissemination of
such information.
The Site may offer forums, message boards, or chat
rooms as one of the services on the Site. If you disclose personal information
in one of these forums, this information can be viewed, collected, and used by
others. Belo Interactive is not responsible for the use of information you disclose
in these forums. We encourage you to consult the Forum Rules regarding the policies
and procedures that apply to that portion of the Site.
Our Sites may
operate as part of a larger group of sites, and may carry co-branded pages. In
addition, other sites may use the Site's or Belo Interactive's name. Since Belo
Interactive does not control the privacy policies of third parties, you are subject
to the privacy customs and policies, if any, of such third parties, and Belo Interactive
shall not be responsible for the use or dissemination of your private information
by such parties. Therefore, we encourage you to ask questions and review those
parties' privacy policies before you disclose your Personal Information to others.
Third Party Advertising
We
use MaxWorldwide and other third-party advertising companies to serve ads when
you visit our Web site. These companies may use information (not including your
name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to this and
other Web sites in order to provide advertisements on this site and other sites
about goods and services that may be of interest to you. If you would like more
information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this
information used by these companies, please click

Third Party Cookies
In the course of serving
advertisements to this site, our third-party advertiser may place or recognize
a unique "cookie" on your browser.
Links to Other Materials
Third party sites linked to and from the Site are not necessarily under the control
of Belo Interactive. Belo Interactive shall have no responsibilities or liabilities
whatsoever for the content or privacy practices of any such linked site or any
link or linking program at any time. Belo Interactive does not necessarily endorse
companies (or related products or services) to or from which the Site is linked.
If you decide to access any of the third party sites linked to the Site, you do
so entirely at your own risk.
Children's Privacy
Belo
Interactive cares about the safety of children and their use of the Internet.
Therefore, in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of
1998, we will never knowingly request or solicit personally identifiable information
from anyone under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent. In the event
that we receive actual knowledge that we have collected such personal information
without the requisite and verifiable parental consent, we will delete that information
from our database as quickly as is practicable.
Opting-Out
We respect your privacy and ability to choose whether to share information with
us and any third party. You may choose to "opt-out" of sharing Personal Information
in several ways. When choosing to use certain features or services on the Site,
you can choose whether to share optional Personal Information in connection with
the feature or service. If you receive communications from us that you prefer
not to receive, you may opt out from receiving these communications, by modifying
the contact options in your registration profile.
There are four contact
preference options available: (1) "opt-in" includes you in our special offer,
discount and other programs with respect to our advertisers and partners via our
My Specials Direct e-mail program or a similar program; (2) "site" includes you
in our special offer, discount and other programs that relate to this Site from
KMOV.com (3) "phone" allows you to be contacted by telephone with respect to any
of these programs, and (4) "mail" allows you to be contacted by mail with respect
to any of these programs. You may choose to be contacted by any or all of these
methods, or "opt-out" by not selecting any contact options. You may change your
contact options at any time by following the process described in "Reviewing,
Changing, and Deleting Your Personal Information."
In addition to opting-out
by managing your contact preference options, you may opt-out from receiving e-mail
communications from any site service by sending your request to helpcenter@belointeractive.com,
or by sending postal mail to:
Belo Interactive
Attn: "Opt-Out Request"
900 Jackson Street, Suite 400
Dallas, TX 75202
You may "opt-out"
altogether from providing Personal Information to us by not registering on the
Site and thereby not providing Personal Information. You may also choose at a
later date to have your name removed from our database by deleting your registration
profile. To do so, please follow the process described in "Reviewing, Changing,
and Deleting Your Personal Information."
Certain portions of the Site
and certain services provided on the Site, however, do require registration in
order to access or use these areas and services. If you choose not to register
or provide certain information, these areas will not be accessible to you.
Notifying Advertisers of Opt-Outs, by Law
When any site user chooses
to opt-out of a specific advertiser program, to comply with federal law, we will
furnish that user's e-mail address to only the affected advertiser and only for
the purpose of ensuring that address is removed from the advertiser's own distribution
lists per the user's opt-out request.
Reviewing, Changing and Deleting
Your Personal Information
You may access all of the Personal Information
that we collect from you online and maintain by using the procedure that follows.
We use this procedure to better safeguard your Personal Information. To protect
your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity

to change or delete your profile from our database using this procedure. You should
know that if you choose to delete your profile, certain areas of our Site may
no longer be accessible to you.
