Privacy Policy
We respect and are committed to protecting your privacy. That is why
we have adopted this Privacy Policy. This Privacy
Policy lets you know how your personal information is processed
and used. We promise that we will take steps to use your
personal information only in ways that are compatible with
this Privacy Policy. The following policies are only in effect
for the web pages, e-mail newsletters and opt-in announcement
lists owned and operated by the Cabletelevision Advertising
Bureau, ("CAB"). The following discloses our Privacy Policy:
WHAT INFORMATION ARE YOU COLLECTING AND HOW ARE YOU COLLECTING IT?
Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name and a
set of numbers, that serve as that computer's "Internet Protocol" IP
address. When a visitor requests a page from any
web site within the CAB's web site(s), our web server
recognizes that visitor's domain name and IP address.
The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal
about you other than the IP address from which you
have accessed our site. We use this information to
examine our web site traffic. We do not collect
and evaluate this information for specific individuals
nor does our web server automatically
record e-mail addresses of the visitors.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Very rarely , CAB's web site(s) may send a "cookie" to
your computer. A cookie is a small piece of data
that is sent to your Internet browser from a Web
server and stored on your computer's hard drive.
A cookie can't read data off of your computer hard
disk or read cookie files created by other web sites.
Cookies do not damage your system. We only use cookies
to identify which areas of CAB's web site(s) you
have visited, so the next time you visit,
those pages may be readily accessible. You can choose
whether to accept cookies by changing the settings
of your Internet browser. If you
choose not to accept these cookies, your experience
at other web sites may be diminished and some features
may not work as intended but will not affect your
use of the CAB's web site(s).
WHAT TYPES OF INFORMATION DO YOU COLLECT AND HOW WILL YOU USE THE INFORMATION YOU COLLECT?
CAB offers access to services and/or events to its members and occasionally,
non-members that require registration. We may use
your registration contact information to send notification
to you about CAB products, services and events by e-mail and/or postal
mail. However, we will not share this information with third parties outside
the CAB.
We may also request your e-mail address or mailing address for the purposes
of conducting a survey or to provide additional services
(for example, subscriptions to e-mail newsletters,
announcement lists or information about our conferences
and various events). Whenever we request the identity of a visitor, we will clearly
indicate the purpose of the inquiry before the information
is requested.
CAB maintains a strict "No-Spam" policy that means that we do not
sell, rent, or otherwise give your e-mail address
to a third-party, without your consent or as permitted
by this Privacy Policy. Wherever CAB collects personal
information we make an effort to include a link
to this Privacy Policy on that page. However, CAB
reserves the right to use the information it collects
as follows:
- We may from time to time send you e-mail announcing
new CAB products, services and/or
events. Except as stated above, CAB will not send you e-mail that
you have not already agreed to receive.
- When you register for a contest or other promotion, we may ask for
your name, address, and e-mail address so we can administer the contest
and notify winners.
- When you register for a CAB event, we may ask for your name, address,
e-mail and other information so we
can contact you regarding the event.
WILL YOU DISCLOSE THE INFORMATION YOU COLLECT TO OUTSIDE THIRD PARTIES?
No, it is not CAB's policy to share your information with third parties.
However, CAB will disclose personal information and/or
an IP address, when required by law or in the good-faith
belief that such action is necessary to:
- Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities
and conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process
served on CAB.
- Protect and defend the rights or property of the CAB web site(s)
and related properties, or visitors to the CAB web site(s) and related properties.
CAB uses reasonable precautions to keep the information disclosed to
us secure.
WHAT ELSE SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT MY PRIVACY WHEN ONLINE?
- The CAB web site(s) contain hyperlinks to third party web sites.
CAB is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such third party web sites.
- Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example through e-mail, discussion lists, or
elsewhere - that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to
the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
- Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your personal information. Please be careful and responsible whenever
you're online.
YOUR CONSENT TO THIS AGREEMENT
By using the CAB web site(s), you consent to the collection and use of
information by CAB as specified above. If we decide to change our privacy
policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always
aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances
we disclose it.
