1. SCOPE AND APPLICATION

Fox Television Stations, LLC ("Company" or "we"), wants you to be familiar with how we collect, use, and disclose information from and about you.  This Privacy Policy describes our practices in connection with information collected through services such as websites, mobile sites, applications ("apps"), and widgets that link to or are otherwise subject to this privacy policy (collectively, the "Company Services").  A list of our affiliated companies ("Company Affiliates") is available at www.foxcorporation.com.

Certain state privacy laws require particular disclosures in privacy policies.  California residents, please see the California Consumer Privacy Act Notice in Section 8 below.  Consumers in Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut and other states with similar privacy laws, please see Section 9 below.  By using Company Services, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.  

As set forth in our Terms of Use at https://www.fox13seattle.com/terms-of-use, the Company Services are for a general audience, are not targeted to children, and do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. 
 
This Privacy Policy applies to all users, including both those who use the Company Services without being registered with or subscribing to a Company Service and those who have registered with or subscribed to a Company Service.  
 
This Privacy Policy applies to Company’s collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information (i.e., information that identifies a specific person, such as full name or email address).  It also describes generally Company’s practices for handling non-personal information (for example, interests, demographics, and services usage). Please note that the information that we may collect, use, and/or disclose varies based upon a user’s interactions with the Company Services. 

2. COLLECTION OF INFORMATION 
 
Depending on your interactions with us, Company and our service providers may collect the following information from and about you: 

Registration Information is information you submit to register for a Company Service, for example, to create an account, receive a newsletter, or enter a contest or sweepstakes.  Registration Information may also include, for example, name, email address, and zip code. 

Customer Service and Feedback Information is information you submit to request customer support or to provide feedback about Company Services, such as name, email address, and state.

User-Uploaded Content consists of video, audio recordings, photographs, or other material that you upload as part of our newsgathering operations and other services.

Public Information and Posts consist of comments or content that you post to the Company Services and the information about you that accompanies those posts or content, which may include a name, user name, comments, likes, status, profile information and picture.  Public Information and Posts are always public, which means they are available to everyone and may be displayed in search results on external search engines.   

Activity Information.  When you access and interact with the Company Services, Company and its service providers may collect certain information about those visits.  For example, in order to permit your connection to the Company Services, our servers receive and record information about your computer, device, and browser, including potentially your IP address, browser type, and other software or hardware information.  If you access the Company Services from a mobile or other device, we may collect a unique device identifier assigned to that device, or other transactional information for that device. In certain circumstances, we also may collect geolocation data (including your precise location).  

Cookies and other tracking technologies (such as browser cookies, pixels, beacons, local storage, and other mechanisms) use various approaches to collect and store data.  Some of these technologies store data in the browser or on your device. Other technologies may use network-related or other information to recognize your device (e.g., IP address).  Company’s websites, apps and other services may use these technologies, for example, when you first request a web page, and to store data on your computer or other device so the website or app can access information when you make subsequent requests for pages from that service.  Depending on your interactions with us, these technologies may also be used to collect and store information about your usage of the Company Services, such as pages you have visited, search history, and the video and other content you have viewed. 

Other parties that support the Company Services, for example, by serving advertisements, providing analytics, or other services, may also use these technologies to collect similar information when you use the Company Services or other parties’ services.  Those other parties may also use these technologies, along with activity information they collect, to recognize you across the devices you use, such as a mobile device and a laptop or other computer.  In some circumstances, their use is governed by the privacy policies of the parties using such technologies.  For more information about advertising networks and similar entities that use these technologies, including your choices with respect to them, see the section entitled "To deliver relevant advertisements," below.  

Your browser may be initially set to accept cookies, but you can change your settings to notify you when a cookie is being set or updated, and to block cookies altogether.  Please consult the "Help" section of your browser for more information, including on how to clear data from local storage and, depending on your browser, how to turn off other data collection by the browser. For more information about Google Analytics, please review the site "How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services," located at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, please go to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Please note that by blocking any or all cookies you may not have access to certain features, content or personalization available through the Company Services.

Information from Other Sources.  We may supplement the information we collect with information from other sources, such as publicly available information about your online and offline activity from social media services, advertising technology companies, advertisers, commercially available sources, and information from our Company Affiliates or business partners.  

Depending on your interactions with us, Company may not have collected information from you for each of the categories above.

‘Do Not Track’.  At this time, we do not respond to the 'Do Not Track' signal, as we await the work of interested stakeholders and others to develop standards for how the "Do Not Track" signal should be interpreted.

In some instances, these entities may return an online identification code that we may store in a first party cookie, or other similar technology, for our use in online and cross-channel advertising and it may be shared with advertising companies to enable interest-based and targeted advertising. To opt out of this use, please go to https://privacy.q13fox.com/main/web/main.

As noted above, advertising technology companies and advertisers may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information, such as demographic information, inferred interests, aggregated information, and information about the different devices and/or browsers you use and your activity on such devices and browsers, to assist them in delivering advertising that is more relevant to your interests.  Such information may also be used to deliver more relevant advertising to you across marketing channels, including email.   If you wish to opt out of tailored advertising in Company Services, please go to https://privacy.q13fox.com/main/web/main.  To find out more about advertising networks and similar entities that use these technologies, see https://youradchoices.com/.  In addition, for more information about advertising industry opt outs, please visit http://optout.aboutads.info/#/ or http://optout.networkadvertising.org/# on each of your devices and browsers and, for mobile devices, you can use the AppChoices app at https://youradchoices.com/appchoices.  In addition, to opt out in mobile apps, you may use your device’s setting to opt out of ads personalization or similar settings or download.  Similarly, to opt out on connected TVs that support opt outs, please use the device setting "opt out of ads personalization," "Interest-based Ads," or equivalent settings on your device.  Please note that opting out does not mean that you will stop seeing all ads.

Depending on where you live, you may have certain additional rights regarding your personal information.  This section provides information for consumers residing in Virginia, Colorado, and Connecticut, in connection with the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act ("VCDPA"), the Colorado Privacy Act ("CPA"), the Connecticut Data Privacy Act (the "CDPA"), and other states with similar privacy laws.  Under the VCDPA, the CPA and the CDPA, and for purposes of this Section, "Personal Data" generally means information that identifies, relates to, or describes a particular consumer residing in Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, or other state with similar privacy laws and includes the categories listed below.  We and our advertising partners use certain Personal Data to deliver online advertisements to you on your devices tailored to your interests. This may be considered "selling" under Colorado and Connecticut law and "targeted advertising" under Virginia, Colorado, and Connecticut law.  This Section 9 provides details about the categories of Personal Data of consumers in Virginia, Colorado and Connecticut and other states with similar privacy laws that we have collected, disclosed, processed for purposes of targeted advertising, or "sold", as well as rights consumers in Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and other states with similar privacy laws have under their states’ laws.

Categories of Personal Data Collected or Disclosed, or Processed for Targeted Advertising:

The categories of Personal Data that we collected disclosed, processed for purposes of targeted advertising (under the Virginia law) or "sold" (under the Colorado and Connecticut laws) are below, along with the purposes for processing, and categories of third parties to whom each category of Personal Data was disclosed or "sold" or processed for the purpose of targeted advertising.  Please note that we process some categories of Personal Data in connection with targeted advertising, which could be considered "selling" under the Colorado and Connecticut laws.  Additionally, depending on the consumer’s interactions with us, Company may not have collected, disclosed, processed, processed for purposes of targeted advertising, or "sold," each (or any) of these categories of Personal Data, for each listed purpose.
