1. Types of Information Collected:
Personal Data: Personally Identifiable
Information (“Personal Data”) is information that can be used to identify a
specific individual, such as your name, email address, and home address. This
Site collects Personal Data when you interact with various Site features: for
example if you subscribe to an NBCUniversal Archives Alert, we require your
name, workplace address, workplace phone and workplace email address. Other
instances when we gather personal data from you include when you subscribe for
newsletters, submit research requests, respond to polls or surveys, you register
or participate in sweepstakes, contests and other promotional opportunities.
We may also collect your personal information when you register for wireless
services via your cellphone or other wireless devices (“Other Services”).
Because providing detailed information regarding our privacy policy when you
register or provide information in connection with these Other Services often
proves impractical, you may instead be provided with a short notice that
reminds you to refer to this Privacy Policy and other relevant information from
us.
Aggregate and Anonymous Data: Aggregate and anonymous data is information that does not identify you specifically, including data collected automatically through the operation of the Site (“AA Data”). We may collect site usage data (such as which Site pages users visit and in what sequence) through the use of various technologies. For example, we collect IP addresses from individual computers visiting the Site. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to a computer requesting pages from our site. Web servers, the computers that "serve up" Web pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address, and when you request a page from a website, servers log the IP address of the computer requesting the page. We do not link IP addresses to any Personal Data, so although the session will be logged, you will remain anonymous to us and the Site. We may also collect computer and connection information, such as browser type or version, to assist in improving the quality of the site. During some visits, we may use software tools, such as Javascript, to measure and collect session information, including page response times, download errors, time spent on certain pages, page interaction information, and methods used to browse away from the page.
2. Use of Cookies and Similar
Technologies:
Like
many sites, we use "cookies" or other similar technologies to collect
AA Data. A cookie is a small data file that writes to your hard drive for
record-keeping purposes when you visit the Site. Cookies allow the Site to
measure traffic activity on the Site and to improve your user experience, for
example by remembering your passwords and viewing preferences, allowing you to
visit “member-only” portions of the Site without re-registering, and tracking
the progress and number of entries in activities that require registration or
entry, such as sweepstakes. For example, if you register for our services, we
will place a cookie on your computer that remembers you and enables you to log
in without requiring you to go through the authentication process more than
once. If you have asked us to send you information about upcoming products and
promotions, using cookies we collect information about which Site pages you
have visited and in what order (“Clickstream Data”) that may allow us to
fine-tune the materials provided to you based on your prior online activities
or preferences. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you
prefer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies
are being sent, but it is possible that some parts of the Site will not
function properly if you do so.
In
addition to cookies, we may use services that collect data by tracking methods
embedded in the Site’s web pages. For example, Javascript and images embedded
in the site's pages may be used to assist in collecting AA data on the site.
3.
Our Use of Your Data:
Personal Data: We will use your Personal Data for the purposes
for which it was provided. For example, if you provide Personal Data to
register for an Alert, we will use it to register you for or provide you with
those electronic communications or services. With your consent, we may also use your Personal Data to provide you
with information about features, services and other offerings that may be of
interest to you. We also may send information or offers
to selected groups of Site users on behalf of other businesses. When we do
this, we do not give those businesses your name or address. Under certain
circumstances (for example if you win a contest) we may post your Personal Data
on the Site. We will notify you of this possibility when you provide the
Personal Data and, if possible, when the Personal Data is posted.
Cookies and similar tools may be used to relate your use of the Site and AA
Data to Personal Data obtained from you. If any AA Data is linked with Personal
Data, the linked AA Data will then be treated as Personal Data.
AA Data: We may also use Personal Data in aggregate form for
purposes of research or analysis. In order to better understand and serve the
users of the Site and Other Services, NBC Universal often conducts research on
its customer demographics, interests and behavior based on Personal Data we
gather. Although this aggregated data may be based in part on Personal Data, it
does not identify you personally.
4. Disclosure of Personal Data:
Disclosure to Third Parties: NBCUniversal Archives, like
many businesses, sometimes hires other companies to perform certain
business-related functions on our behalf, such as hosting specific portions of
the Site, maintaining databases, administering contests, providing wireless
services, mailing information and processing payments. When we employ a third
party to perform these functions, that third party will only be provided with
the particular Personal Data it needs to perform its function, and is required
to protect the Personal Data. With your consent, we may also share Personal
Data with pre-screened third parties for their marketing or promotional purposes.
We will provide you with an opportunity to elect or decline these services or
opportunities (see “Your Choices” below). In the event you have elected to
“unsubscribe” from any of our services, we will share your Personal Data with
third parties with whom we jointly offer such services solely to the extent
necessary to ensure that your request not to receive such communications is
honored. In addition, for third-party sponsored contests or promotions, we may
request Personal Employee Data from you that may be shared with the sponsor
upon request.
Disclosure
to Others: In addition, we may disclose Personal
Data without providing you with a choice under the following limited
circumstances to: (1) protect the legal rights, privacy or safety of NBCUniversal
Archives, or its parent company, subsidiaries, affiliates or its or their
employees, agents and contractors; (2) protect the safety and security of
visitors to our web sites or other properties; (3) protect against fraud or
other illegal activity or for risk management purposes; (4) respond to
inquiries or requests from public authorities; (5) permit us to pursue
available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain; (6) enforce our
Terms of Service; or (7) comply with the law or legal process.
If NBCUniversal Archives sells all or part of this Site or makes a sale or
transfer of assets or is otherwise involved in a merger or business transfer,
we may, in our sole discretion, transfer, sell or assign your Personal Data to
a third party as part of or in connection with that transaction. Upon such
transfer, the Privacy Policy of the acquiring entity may govern the further use
of your Personal Data.
6.
Your Choices:
You can use the Site and certain Other Services without providing any Personal
Data, but if you decline to provide Personal Data, you may not be able to use
certain services or features. If you have previously provided Personal Data to
the Site and have subscribed to one or more email newsletters or are receiving
emails or other communications from the Site and you do not want to receive
such emails, please discontinue your subscriptions by selecting the
"unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any message, visiting the Contact

However we will retain records of your Personal Data as needed in order to
comply with applicable federal, state, or local law.
