At Public Interactive, protecting the personal information of Internet users is a crucial component of our operational policies.  Both our stations and their audiences will benefit from the controlled use of this information.

The following policy outlines the security philosophy of Public Interactive and our operational guidelines for the use of information collected online:

1. Public Interactive will never disclose any personal information about our audience to any third party without first receiving the user’s permission.
   
   
2. Visitors to Public Interactive station web sites may voluntarily supply certain personal information in connection with:
   
1. Sweepstakes or contest registration
2. Subscription registration services (e.g. an email newsletter, etc.)
3. Applications and/or requests for membership
4. Commerce transactions (e.g. online pledging, etc.)
5. Content submissions (e.g. online forums, etc.)
    
   
3. Each station in the Public Interactive network is either provided or has secure, password-protected online access to all personal information.  This information includes:
   
1. Aggregate user statistics and reports
2. Individual user information where such information is collected through a station in electronic format
   
   
4. If such personal information is restricted (per opt-out submissions by individual users, etc.), the station is contractually bound to only use specific ranges of data (i.e. use of such data in aggregate form only).
