PRIVACY POLICY Updated July 1, 2008
The Santa Fe Reporter is very sensitive to issues of individual privacy on the Internet. As a result, we provide the following policy on the use of information gathered on sfreporter.com :
Categories of information collected
sfreporter.com gathers identifying information about individuals only when individuals provide that information on a voluntary basis in order to register for our reader comment sections, for our email newsletters, reader surveys, contests, contest notifications and email or mobile phone alerts.
Third parties
It is not the policy of the Santa Fe Reporter to sell or make available such information to unrelated third parties. We may inform advertisers of the results of such analyses. And under any circumstance, sfreporter.com will refer only to general, aggregate usage data from these analyses -- never specific identifying information.
sfreporter.com performs statistical analyses of its server logs to study the use and popularity of various areas of our site. We also look at IP addresses to analyze where we are getting our audience. We analyze this information to examine trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use only.
sfreporter.com employs 'cookies' in circumstances that require session data or require user verification. A "cookie" is a small file that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. This enables us to store user preferences and track user trends and search patterns. We use cookies to improve the quality of the sfreporter.com web site and to better understand how users interact with us. We do not and cannot use cookies to retrieve individual personally identifiable information about you from your computer unless you knowingly and willingly provided such information. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some sfreporter.com features or services may not function properly without cookies.
Users should keep in mind that, when posting their user name or e-mail address on bulletin boards or in other user-posted content areas, that information, along with any information in their postings, can be read by any third parties and may result in unsolicited messages from other posters or third parties. sfreporter.com has no control over that.
sfreporter.com may make use of or refer to user-posted content for the purposes of promotion of our websites. This will mainly involve taking screen shots of a particular area of the site and using that screen shot as a graphic in an advertisement. sfreporter.com makes no claim of ownership to such user-posted content.
Paid Directory Listings: the Information that is gathered when submitting a paid directory listing to the sfreporter.com will only used to contact the customer and will not be sold or otherwise transferred without their explicit permission.
