Information Collection - To play Couch Potato®, we require that you provide us with a valid email address. In addition to your name, we ask for your address, phone number, birth date, gender and marital status in order to check your eligibility to participate in contests and promotions, and for identification and contact purposes to collect prizes. Other information, such as demographics, viewing habits, or lifestyle interests may be obtained via optional surveys.

Registered members of Couch Potato® can access their data online and modify or update their information at any time.

We limit access to member data to those who specifically need it to manage member points, data and communications. While we use security techniques designed to protect our member data, given the constantly changing state of technology, we do not guarantee the security of our member data.

Information Use - If you have agreed to receive emails from us, we may send you email offers, surveys, newsletters or other types of contacts. You may elect to not receive these emails at any time by logging in to the Couch Potato® program and changing your profile data.

We track visitor usage of our sites for general marketing purposes, such as determining what information is of most and least interest to visitors, and identifying system performance or problem areas.

We use member information generally to compile statistical and user profile data, to keep in contact with users and provide them with a better interactive experience. We may use your information specifically for the following purposes: to complete transactions; to administer individual accounts; to provide customer support; to meet legal requirements; to provide Internet security; to keep you informed about products and services in which you may have interest; and/or to contact you as part of a promotion. In the event that the parent company or the television station(s) are involved in a sale of a substantial portion of our business assets, listener/customer information may be among the transferred assets.

We work closely with business partners and other third parties who may perform functions on our behalf, such as fulfilling orders, providing promotional materials to our users, sending email, managing data or providing customer service. They have access to your personal information only to the extent necessary to perform their functions and may not use it for any other purpose. Further, these business partners and other third parties may from time to time wish to extend special offers to you on their own behalf. We may use your personal information to assist our business partners in offering you these products, services or information, and may act as an intermediary (for instance, sending you email on their behalf).

The data you provide is used to enhance the services and offers our television stations bring you. As a result of providing personal information, we can also provide a more customized online experience, making your interaction with us more productive, helpful and fun. You can also expect to receive occasional communications targeted directly toward your lifestyle interests.

Declining Email Offers - We provide viewers/members with an easy means to decline receiving email offers and recognize the importance of providing you with choices. At any time, you may request to discontinue receiving email communication from us by simply changing your member profile to decline email contact.

Children - We do not knowingly solicit data from children, and we will not knowingly market to children. We adhere to COPPA - the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. It is our policy to discard any information which is obtained from any child who is under the age of 13. Couch Potato® players must be at least 18 years of age.

What else should I know about my privacy? - Third party Internet sites and services accessible through our web sites (e.g. via clicking on a link on our site that takes you to a site other than ours) have separate privacy and data collection practices, independent of us. We have no responsibility or liability for these independent policies or actions. In addition, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords, membership ID, or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online. If you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. While we aim to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.

We will make all reasonable efforts to adhere to the above privacy standards. However, the policy should not be construed as a contractual undertaking. Additional restrictions may be imposed to comply with state and local laws, and/or station specific programs, products and services. We reserve the right to alter, amend or supplement the privacy standards at anytime. Please check this page periodically to find out what privacy policy terms are in effect. Your continued use of Bay City Television web sites is construed as explicit acceptance of the privacy policy, and the Terms and Conditions for playing the game.
