BROADCAST PRIVACY POLICY STATEMENT: USE OF THIS WEB SITE SIGNIFIES YOUR
UNDERSTANDING AND AGREEMENT TO COMPLY WITH THE ENTIRE PRIVACY POLICY
STATEMENT.
As part of the operations of Emmis Austin Radio Broadcasting Company,
Lp. Broadcast and its related companies, we gather certain types of
information about our users through our Web site (including, but not
limited to http://www.emmisaustin.com, http://www.101x.com, http://www.klbjfm.com, http://www.590klbj.com, http://www.kgsr.com, http://www.hibob.fm, http://www.1071laz.com ). This Privacy
Policy ("Privacy Policy") explains the types of information we gather,
what we do with it and how you may correct or change the information
that we may collect.
There are two kinds of information we can obtain about you:
a) Personal Information: Personal Information is any
information that personally identifies you. It can be your first and
last name, your home address, your telephone number, age, gender or your
e-mail address. Personal information is collected when users
voluntarily register for membership services. Sometimes this Personal
Information is needed to receive announcements regarding our Web site
and projects, enter contests and participate in other promotional
opportunities provided on our Web site. Other times, we may collect this
information to help target advertising and marketing. We may also
collect e-mail addresses from users who send us support mail or request
technical or other help. This information enables us to improve our Web
site in order to make your On-line visits more productive and enjoyable.
The choice is yours - you do not have to register. If we are asking for
optional information, we will inform you so you know you can skip it if
you want.
b) Aggregate Information: Aggregate Information is
anonymous data that we use to diagnose problems on our Web site's
servers, administer our Web site, and to help improve the quality of our
Web pages. It may be your IP address (a number that's automatically
assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Internet), browser
type (e.g., Netscape or Internet Explorer), and domain (e.g.,
"XYZ.com"). We do this in the background so it does not interrupt your
cruising speed. We may share Aggregate Information with third parties.
None of this information is connected with Personal Information. So,
when you enter our site, you are anonymous and will remain that way
unless you choose otherwise.
We may use the
Personal Information we collect to improve the content of our Web site;
to customize the content and/or layout of our Web site for each
individual user; to notify users about updates to our Web site or
promotional offers or opportunities that we believe will be of interest
to users; and to investigate violations of our terms and conditions of

companies for internal business or research purposes.
With user permission, we may access Personal Information
on behalf of third parties for marketing or promotional purposes. We
will always request permission to share such information with third
parties. You may elect not to participate by clicking or not clicking,
as applicable, the appropriate on-screen button. In some situations, we
may share your Personal Information with third parties who perform a
particular service on our behalf. These parties are not allowed to use
Personal Information except for the limited purpose of providing the
particular service on our behalf. In addition, we may receive personal
usage and demographic information from third parties based on our users
Personal Information and their visits to our Web site, and use this
information to improve our products and services.
We may post the name of a user (for example, a contest
winner) on our Web site. We will notify you of this possibility when you
provide your information.
We may also divulge Personal Information if such
information is subpoenaed, or if we believe that membership has been
used to commit unlawful acts, or acts that may endanger the health or
safety of another user or of the general public.
We may share the Aggregate Information we collect with
third parties for advertising and promotional purposes. We may use a
third-party company to serve ads when you visit our Web site. This
company may use Aggregate information about your visits to our Web site
in order to provide advertisements on our Web site about goods and
services of interest to you. For this purpose, the third-party company
