Web site and how such
information is collected;
-
How the
information is used by

We
do not obtain any personally
identifiable information about you
unless you choose to reveal it.
Examples of when you voluntarily
submit such information include when
you provide an email address on our
"Contact Us" page, if volunteer
demographic information in
conjunction with sweepstakes or
contests, send us email, respond to
emails from us, post messages or
upload content using our service.
Thus, you are not required to
disclose any personally identifiable
information to us, although many
parts of our site may not be
available to you unless you do so.
For example, you must provide your
name and contact information to us
in the event you choose to advertise
and/or upload
content using our service, in the
event you sign up to transmit
Internet radio programs, or in
certain other situations. We may
also receive personally identifiable
information about you from other
users or third parties who may
communicate with us about you (such
as in the case of complaints).
When feasible, we
do automatically collect your IP
address and collect and store web
visitor statistics.

We use your
information to do such things as
operate our site, enhance and
improve our service and sell and
deliver advertising and merchandise.
We also use this data to enhance
your onsite experience-by displaying
promotions, advertisements and
content that we believe will be of
interest to you.
We do not sell or
share your personally identifiable
information with third parties. So,
for example, we do not sell your
email address to anyone or any
organization or sell
your name and personal demographic
information to mass marketers or
others. We may on occasion,
email offers to you of special
events, radio programming
announcements or products and
services.
In some cases we
use your personally identifiable
information to provide information
to you, such as to send newsletters
and email that you request or to
personalize the site in accordance
with your requests. We will provide
you with directions in all emails
and newsletters on how to be taken
off our newsletter list.
Note that some
online activities in which you
choose to participate do necessarily
lead to disclosure of your
personally identifiable information
to third parties, such as when you
include your name and email address
in messages posted to public areas
on our site (such as chat areas and
blogs). In these
cases, your choice to disclose
personally identifiable information
is voluntary.

Cookies are small
pieces of information stored on your
hard drive, not on our site. We use
cookies on our site for a number of
reasons. First, cookies can help us
provide information that is targeted
to your interests. Second, cookies
allow us to better understand how
users use our site, which in turn
helps us focus our resources on
features that are most popular with
our users. You are always free to
decline our cookies if your browser
permits, but some parts of our site
may not work properly in that case.
In addition to
using cookies, in some circumstances
we may track or collect information
about your activities on our site by
the numeric address assigned to the
computer you are using (your IP
address) or by the URLs that you
come from.

The Focus VI
Web site contains links and
references to other Web sites and
organizations, including Web sites
owned or operated by Focus VI's
advertisers and sponsors. Please note that
different rules may apply to the
collection, use or disclosure of
your information by third party
service providers or vendors or any
other sites you encounter on the
Internet (even if these sites are
branded with our branding or framed
by our site). We encourage you to
investigate and ask questions before
disclosing information to third
parties.
|
|
7. |
Although your
privacy is very important to us, due
to the existing legal and technical
environment, we cannot fully ensure
that your private communications and
other personally identifiable
information will not be disclosed to
third parties. For example, we may
be forced to disclose information to
the government or third parties
under certain legal circumstances, or
third parties may unlawfully
intercept or access transmissions or
private communications.
Additionally, we may disclose
information about you to law enforcement or other
government officials as we, in our
sole discretion, believe necessary
or appropriate to investigate or
resolve possible problems or
inquiries.
