Lost Nation TV Online Privacy Statement
Lostnation.tv is committed to protecting the personal information that you provide to us when using the Site. This Online Privacy Statement describes how we treat all user data collected during your visit to the Site, both anonymous data and personally-identifying data.
User Data We Collect
We collect two types of user data: (1) anonymous data that is automatically collected from all visitors to the Lostnation.tv Site; and (2) personally-identifiable data that you voluntarily submit to us (described below under "Personal Data").
Anonymous Data. We automatically collect Internet Protocol addresses and domain names through our server and through cookies. (See the section on Cookies below for more information.) We also track the number and frequency of hits per page on an aggregate basis.
Personal Data. We may collect Personal Data that you voluntarily provide, such as your name and postal address, phone number, e-mail address, and similar information, when you participate in certain activities on the Lostnation.tv Site, including (but not limited to) when you:
sign up for our e-mail network
register for our message board;
participate in one of our online surveys; or participate in any activity that requires your Personal Data.
We collect some data through the use of cookies. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that are transferred either to your computer's hard drive ("Long-term Cookies") or temporarily to your computer's Random Access Memory ("Session Cookies").
We use Long-term Cookies only when you select a "remember" option on the Lostnation.tv Site, for example the "remember my login" option offered when you log on to the Site, or the "remember me" option. If you select this option, a Long-term Cookie will be stored on your computer's hard drive solely for the purpose of automatically filling in the remembered information, for example, automatically filling in your password when you log in to the Site or your postal address when you write a letter to your representative. These "remember" options are offered only for your convenience and are completely voluntary. If you do not select a "remember" option, no Long-Term Cookie will be stored on your computer's hard drive.
We use Session Cookies whenever you visit the Lostnation.tv Site to run the Site's interactive applications. Session Cookies last only as long as your session on the Site. They expire when the session ends and are not written onto your computer's hard drive. We also use Session Cookies in e-mails containing the HTML-format online newsletter. If you select "text-only" format for the online newsletter, it will not contain any Session Cookies.
How We Use The Data We Collect
We use anonymous data to identify the source of user traffic (for example, umich.edu, or aol.com), but we are not able to use this data to identify individual users. We use data on which sections of the Lostnation.tv site are most visited, so that we can evaluate the popularity of our different Web pages and continue to improve the Site. We do not link any anonymous data with the Personal Data you provide to us.
We use your Personal Data for various purposes:
To fulfill the request for which you specifically provided the data
Third-Party Sharing
We will not share your Personal Data with third-party service providers
Children
We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13.
Security
The Personal Data we collect about you is stored on a secure, password protected server. We use industry-standard encryption technologies with respect to the receipt and transfer of Personal Data you submit to us on the Site and only authorized personnel have access to your information. Nevertheless, despite our best efforts, no transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
Updating Your Data
To update your Personal Data or to make corrections, you can do so by using our User Preference Page
Comments and Questions
If you have any questions, comments or concerns about this Online Privacy Statement or our data collection practices or to request that we delete your Personal Data, you can fill out the form on the Feedback Page and we will handle your request
