94.7 The Pulse Privacy Policy
94.7 The Pulse is strongly committed to protecting your privacy while interacting with our content and services. We want to provide a safe and secure environment for you and your children. The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to tell you what kind of information we may gather about you when you visit our site, how we may use that information, whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to correct this information. Our policy allows you to choose what kind and how much information you provide to us and to control how we use whatever information you give us. Our goal is to provide you with a satisfying experience while allowing you to control your privacy and to give you a means to voice any questions or concerns you may have. This policy applies only to 94.7 The Pulse and not to other companies' or organisations' websites to which 94.7 The Pulse is linked.
Collection of information
The Pulse collects two types of information. The first type is anonymous information. For instance, we may collect information to tell us that five thousand people visited this Privacy Policy today, but we do not know their names, where they live or their date of birth - they are 'anonymous' to us. Another example of The Pulse collecting anonymous information is when The Pulse audiences are invited to respond to surveys on the The Pulse website. Any information you are asked to provide is collected for research purposes, is used in the aggregate (where possible), and remains anonymous. Many of the individuals who access our services are anonymous to us.
The second type of information that The Pulse collects is personal information. The Pulse will collect personal information that lets us know the specifics of who you are such as your name, email address, or postal address, when you provide it to us. With this information, The Pulse can provide a variety of personalised and enhanced services that are not available to anonymous users. We hope that you will find it beneficial to provide individually identifiable information about yourself to us because it will make our services more valuable to you. How much of your personal information that you choose to disclose to The Pulse is completely up to you. The only way we know something about you personally is if you provide it to us, for example when you submit a story about yourself.
Use of anonymous information
The Pulse automatically gathers anonymous information to monitor the use of The Pulse like the numbers and frequency of visitors to The Pulse and its areas, very much like television ratings that tell the networks how many people tuned in to a program. We only use such data in the aggregate. This collective data helps us determine how much our audiences use parts of the site, so we can improve The Pulse website to assure that it is as appealing as we can make it for as many users as possible. The Pulse may publish or provide this aggregate data to other people.
Use of personal information
The Pulse will only use the personal information you have chosen to provide us for the purpose for which you provided it. The Pulse will not use it for any other purpose without your consent.
Disclosure
We do not disclose personal information that you may give us, such as your name, address, email address or telephone number, to any organisation or person outside the The Pulse unless you have authorised us to do so. For example, when you contribute to program content you may want to publish your name and email address.
No sale of personal information
Under no circumstances will The Pulse sell or receive payment for licensing or disclosing your personal information.
Interacting with The Pulse Online
There are many interactive features on The Pulse that you can contribute to. These include: Online Voting, Mailing Lists and Email. When interacting with The Pulse, we suggest that you use your discretion and exercise caution when providing your personal information.
Access and correction: personal data
If The Pulse holds your personal information The Pulse will where possible provide you with access to the information. The Pulse will take reasonable steps to correct the information so that it is accurate, complete and up to date.
Complaints about privacy
If you have any complaints relating to online privacy issues on our websites, please contact us. While The Pulse accepts no liability for any material or links posted to the service, we will investigate all complaints.
