Privacy Policy
Your privacy is critically important to us. At The Canton Independent-Sentinel we have a few fundamental principles:
· We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
· We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
· We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.
· In our blogging products, we aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what’s visible to the public, seen by search engines, kept private, and permanently deleted.
Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:
If you have questions about deleting or correcting your personal data please contact our support team.
The Canton Independent-Sentinel (“CIS”) operates this website, www.myweeklysentinel.com, and third party applications that provide use with email and data file management. It is CIS’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, CIS collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. CIS’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how CIS’s visitors use its website. From time to time, CIS may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
CIS also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on blogs. CIS only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to CIS’s websites choose to interact with CIS in ways that require CIS to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that CIS gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a blog to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with CIS – by purchasing a subscription online– are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, CIS collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with CIS. CIS does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
CIS may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, CIS may monitor the most popular pages, articles, sections on the MyWeeklySentinel.com site. CIS may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, CIS does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
CIS discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees or web design contractors that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on CIS’s behalf or to provide services available at CIS’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. By using CIS’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. CIS will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees and web design contractors, as described above, CIS discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when CIS believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of CIS, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a CIS website and have supplied your email address, CIS may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with CIS. CIS takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
Cookies
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. CIS uses cookies to help CIS identify and track visitors, their usage of CIS website, and their website access preferences. CIS visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using CIS’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of CIS’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Business Transfers
If CIS, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that CIS goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of CIS may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, CIS may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in CIS’s sole discretion. CIS encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
