When using JohnsonCityPress.com users are assured the information will not be provided to any other organization. Online visitors who supply personal information while making a news tip or letter to the editor or respond to an online survey may receive a phone call or email for confirmation purposes or, when indicated, for interview by a reporter.
JohnsonCityPress.com automatically collects information about which pages are visited and the domain name of visitors but that collection of information does not personally identify a visitor. This information is used for internal review and as a measure of the usefulness or popularity of individual stories or story categories. JohnsonCityPress.com uses "cookies" in a limited way to help deliver advertisements and to identify unique browsers and track usage of the site. Some business affiliates and advertisers may use cookies to determine when a user has contacted a web site. JohnsonCityPress.com does not control the privacy policies of business affiliates, advertisers or sites to which we provide hyperlinks.
We may request that you voluntarily supply us with personal information, including your e-mail address, postal address, home or work telephone number, credit card number (only if you choose to purchase a product online), for purposes such as correspondence, making a purchase, or participating in online contests, surveys or games. If you choose to give us personal information via the Internet that we or our business partners may need -- to correspond with you, process an order or provide you with a subscription, for example -- it is our intent to let you know how we will use such information.
We may require you to supply us with personal information (demographic information such as average age, income, education, population data, zip codes) during a "registration" process online prior to using certain features of our site. For example, you may be required to register to use chat rooms, forums, to access archival stories, to subscribe to our member newspapers, subscribe to an e-mail version of our site, and to access other features. We use this general information to aggregate information according to demographics, such as gender, geographic location, age, income or a combination of these or other demographics.
We may perform statistical analyses of aggregate user behavior. This allows us to measure relative consumer interest in the various areas of our Web sites for product development purposes. Any information we collect is used for its own internal purposes to improve the content of the Web sites, to enhance users' experiences when visiting our site(s), to customize the content and/or layout of our pages, and to provide the services required by an individual user.
We do not use personal identifying information for any reason that is not disclosed either in this Policy or at the time the information is requested. We never send e-mail to you unless you request a particular service, or consent to being contacted by e-mail. There are instances where you will have the opportunity to subscribe to an e-mail list that will send information about the site or our advertisers to your e-mail address, but this will be done only with your permission and consent.
We do not share personal identifying information with any third party without your permission. We disclose only in aggregate form our statistical analyses or demographics of users to third parties, such as advertisers or other business partners. In some instances, we operate shared Web sites with businesses affiliated with us. Our privacy policy will apply to these Web sites, and our affiliates adhere to our privacy policy and will not share personal information with any third party without your permission.
In order to ensure the accuracy of personal information provided for registration, you may return to the registration form online in order to change information you have provided at any time. Questions regarding our privacy policy, the accuracy of your personal information or the use of the information collected should be directed via e-mail to Alan Broyles, or you can reach us by telephone at 423.929.3111. You can also write us at: Johnson City Press 204 W. Main St. Johnson City, TN 37604. These privacy policies are effective as of November 9, 2007. We reserve the right to change this policy at any time, and will post any changes to this policy as soon as they go into effect.
We use our best efforts to ensure the security of personal information submitted by users. When collecting credit card information for online purchases, we offer secured-server transactions that encrypt your information in transit to thwart someone from intercepting it and misusing it. When we collect other information from our users, it is stored in an area where the general public does not have access to it.
At any time while assessing our site(s), any user while online may "opt-out" of further e-mail contact from us (while still allowing access to our site(s)). For further information about opting-out, contact us at the e-mail addresses, postal addresses or telephone numbers stated above.
