Vegas PBS is committed to protecting online users’
privacy. We believe that protection of personal privacy on the Internet is
our responsibility, to assure community confidence, increase participation in
online activities and support effective delivery of services. Vegas PBS
intends to give you as much control as possible over your personal
information. The purpose of our policy is to inform you about the types of
information we gather 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, the
information.
The following is the privacy policy for this site.
If you send us an electronic mail message with a question
or comment that contains personally identifying information, or fill out a
form that e-mails us this information, we will only use the personally
identifiable information to respond to your request and analyze trends. We
collect some information that is used for analysis and statistical purposes
that helps us manage the Vegas PBS Web site.
Information that we collect for statistical purposes
- We automatically collect electronically generated
information about your visit to our site, such as the date, type of browser
used, and technical Internet protocol data. We collect this information
about each user session from our user logs, and refer to it in summary
form for statistical purposes.
- Information that you provide us when using our
interactive forms and functions. This information may include such
things as name, address, telephone number, and other personal and
business data, depending on the particular service you use. We collect
only that data necessary to provide the service that you are requesting.
Control of personal information
At any time while online and accessing our site, any user
may decline participation in any activity that asks for information (i.e.
survey, e-mail or e-forms). Your choice not to participate will in no way
affect your ability to use any other feature on our site. In online
applications that ask for personal information, you also are provided the option
of canceling or "clearing all fields" of information and
terminating the application.
Use of cookies
We do not use "persistent" cookies to collect
permanent information. We may use "persistent" cookies (which would
reside on the user’s computer) to increase the ease of use of the Vegas PBS
Web site. Such a cookie might contain the user’s session ID number, thereby
relieving the user of having to enter the number. Under this circumstance, we
will only use a "persistent" cookie when you give your permission.
We may use "non-persistent" cookies in
applications that keep track of a user’s online session and make it possible for
you to complete a form or use a function, but this cookie disappears when you
finish filling out an application, or searching a database.
Disclosure to third parties
We are governed by public
records laws. Any information that we receive through use of our site is
subject to the same provisions as information provided on paper. Otherwise,
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. This information is not reported
or used in any manner that would reveal personally identifiable information,
and will not be released to any outside parties unless we are legally required to do so in connection with law
enforcement investigations or other legal proceedings.
