PreserveLocalTV.COM PRIVACY POLICY AND YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
PreserveLocalTV.com (“Site,” “us,” or “we”) is owned and operated by Nexstar Broadcasting Group. (“Nexstar,” “Owner and Operator” or “Company”). This Privacy Policy is exclusively for PreserveLocalTV.com and does not cover any other Company website or activity.
Your privacy is very important to us. Because we gather certain types of personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) from users of our website, we feel you should know how we collect, use, disclose, manage, and store the Personal Information that you may voluntarily provide us and the Personal Information that is collected passively through the use of cookies or image tags on our website. This Privacy Policy is a part of the Site’s Terms of Use Agreement, which is binding on all Site users. This Policy applies only to the Personal Information collected by this Company on this Site and does not cover any such information collected by Nexstar Stations, corporate affiliates, or any other company, unless specifically stated.
If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not participate in the Site’s activities and services that require you to provide your Personal Information. (The type of Personal Information collected is listed below.)
YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
Residents of the State of California, under a new provision of the California Civil Code, have the right to request from companies conducting business in California a list of all third parties to which the company has disclosed Personal Information during the preceding year for direct marketing purposes. Alternatively, the law provides that if the company has a privacy policy that gives either an Opt-out or Opt-in choice for use of your Personal Information by third parties (such as advertisers or affiliated companies) for marketing purposes, the company may instead provide you with information on how to exercise your disclosure choice options.
This Site qualifies for the alternative option; it has a comprehensive privacy policy and provides you with details on how you may Opt-out or Opt-in to the use of your Personal Information by third parties for direct marketing purposes. Therefore, we are not required to maintain or disclose a list of the third parties that received your Personal Information for marketing purposes during the preceding year.
If you are a California resident and request information about how to exercise your third party disclosure choices you must send a request to the following address with a preference on how our response to your request should be sent (email or postal mail). You may contact us in two ways. Send email to Privacy Administrator:

By your participation in our Site activities, you certify that you are at least 13 years of age and located in the U.S. If you are located in the European Union or elsewhere outside of the U.S. and you participate in activities on this Site contrary to our policy that only U.S. residents are eligible for certain activities, you do so at your own risk and initiative, and are responsible for compliance with any applicable local laws. Please be aware that any Personal Information you transfer to us will be transferred to the U.S and subject to U.S. law. By using this Site, participating in any Site activities, and/or providing us with your Personal Information, you consent to this transfer of Personal Information to the U.S., and waive any claims that may arise under your own national laws. All users of the Site are required to provide true, current, complete and accurate Personal Information when prompted and we will reject and delete any entry that we believe in good faith to be false, fraudulent, or inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.
Your continued participation on this Site indicates your acceptance of this Privacy Policy and of the collection, use, disclosure, management and storage of your Personal Information as described below. We may from time to time, transfer or merge any Personal Information collected off-line with our online databases or store off-line information in an electronic format. We may also combine Personal Information we collect online with information available from other sources, including information received from our Radio Station affiliates, other corporate affiliates, Advertisers, or marketing companies. This Privacy Policy covers all such Personal Information and will remain in full force and effect as long as you are a user of the Site or a participant in Company activities. We reserve the right to revise this policy at any time by updating this posting without advance notice to you. Such revisions shall be effective to you immediately upon posting. Notice of material changes to this Privacy Policy will be posted on the Site’s homepage. Therefore, we encourage you to check this Privacy Policy often.

We will not sell, exchange, rent, lease or otherwise disclose your Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information (more sensitive Personal Information, see “Website Collection, Use, and Disclosure of Personal Information” below) to other third party or any such persons unless it is necessary to: 1) conform to regulatory and legal requirements or to comply with legal process; 2) to protect the safety and security of our users, employees, or property; 3) to defend the rights of the Site or the Company; or 4) to enforce the Terms of Use Agreement.
We will share your Personal Information with our corporate parents, Nexstar Broadcasting Group for business and operational purposes.
However, if you receive marketing or promotional materials that are not related to this site’s service from a Nexstar Broadcasting Station, you will need to notify the Nexstar Broadcasting Group Station directly by contacting its Privacy Administrator, whose contact information can be found in the website’s privacy policy.
In the event that we unknowingly send an email or text message to a child (a person under the age of 13 years) who has registered on the Site in violation of the Site’s Terms of Use Agreement, the child or the child’s parent or legal guardian always has the right to request termination of the child’s registration on the Site. The same is true for the parent or legal guardian of a minor (a person under the age of 18 years old). See the “Review, Update, Correct, or Delete Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information” section for specifics.
It is also necessary that we share your Personal Information and Sensitive Personal Information with our operational service providers, the specialists that provide internal support to Company operations and activities and/or for Site design, development, hosting and operations including maintenance, management, storage. We use operational service providers to efficiently provide the full range of content, activities and membership services we bring to you and we request that our operational service providers also protect your privacy and not disclose your Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information to third party marketers that are not associated with the Company or Site. Additionally, such providers are not to use your Personal Information for their own marketing or promotional purposes.
In the event that the assets or stock of the Company, its corporate licensee, or parent company(s) are sold or transferred, merged with a different company or entity, restructured, or subject to other fundamental corporate changes, we reserve the right to disclose any and all databases compiled from Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information collected by the Company to such successor. We will seek to obligate the Company’s successor to agree to the terms of the Privacy Policy, as it may hereafter be modified, but cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so or that the successor company will comply with this obligation.
We reserve the right to collect Personal Information using any new technology yet to be developed and to use such technology to provide new services and features to you, as well as for marketing and promotional purposes.
WEBSITE COLLECTION, USE, AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Generally, you may browse this Site without providing any Personal Information. Registration to participate and submit your point of view to a message board or send emails to support site’s cause requires the submission of your name, email address, street address, city, state, zip code, phone number, and date of birth.
The use of cookies is an industry standard and they are currently used on most websites, including this Site. Cookies are a small text file containing a unique identification number that is transferred from a website to the hard drive of a user’s computer so that the website administrator or a third party operational service provider may identify the computer and passively track the user’s activities on the website. Image tags work in conjunction with cookies and are small image files that may be located on select pages of our Site, or with-in web-based email newsletters that we may send. (Image tags are also called web beacons, web bugs, clear GIFs or single-pixel GIFs.) Tracking is important because we can better understand what parts of our website are used the most, when to launch new services and how to enhance current offerings. We may share the information we receive from cookies and image tags with third-parties and our Advertisers in aggregate form, which means that such information does not contain isolated Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information about any one visitor, nor can aggregate information be used to identity an individual user.
In short, cookies and image tags collect a user’s Internet protocols and server information. Such data files allow our Site to remember your web browser when you visit our Site and are necessary tools for quick and efficient access to membership clubs, awards programs and contests. A cookie will not allow the Site to learn any Personal Information (such as your real name and email address) or Sensitive Personal Information that you have not otherwise disclosed. Cookies and image tags allow the Site to remember important information that will make the Site easier for you to use and helpful in our administration of various activities. We do not use cookies or image tags to collect other Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information unless you give us permission to do so.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie or image tag is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all such devices. This is done through your browser. If you turn cookies off, you may not have access to many features at our Site that make your Internet experience more efficient – like the features mentioned above – and some of our other services will not function properly.
Although persons of all ages may visit our Site and participate in activities that do not require the collection of Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information, we do not knowingly or intentionally collect Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information from children under the age of 13. Except for the limited circumstances listed below, we will automatically reject and delete the registration or entry of any person we believe in good faith to be underage..
Except to meet Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), or other regulatory and legal purposes, we will not use, store, or disclose any child’s Personal Information to a third party without prior parental consent.
EMAIL
We do not generally keep email correspondence, except for those emails that relate to the on-air programs or operations of Nexstar Broadcasting and Nexstar Broadcasting Stations. As required by the FCC, if any part of your email correspondence relates to a Nexstar Broadcasting Station’s programming or operations, we must place such correspondence in the Nexstar Broadcasting Station’s FCC Public Inspection File, or make the correspondence available via electronic file access at the Station to anyone that requests such information. Therefore, be informed that your Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information contained in certain emails, including Personal Information knowingly received from a child under the age of thirteen, will be disclosed to the general public. (Please see our Children’s Privacy Policy section for details.) We request that you not place any Sensitive Personal Information in your email correspondence to the Company that pertains to Station programming or operations. You understand and agree that we are not responsible for Sensitive Personal Information that is improperly disclosed in emails that are made available to the general public in compliance with FCC regulations, or regulatory and legal requirements.
MESSAGE BOARDS AND PUBLIC AREAS
This Site offers user interactive activities such as message boards, and/or public forums (“Public Areas”). We do not share any Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information that is entered into the Public Area registration section on the Site with Advertisers.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to save and archive any content of any nature posted to the Site and that we may, without liability to any user: 1) disclose such content if required to do so by law or to comply with legal processes; 2) to respond to claims that any of the content violates the property, privacy, publicity or other rights of others; or 3) to protect the rights, property or safety of the Site, the Company, its employees, users and members of the public. For more information on this Site’s rules of conduct for these Public Areas, please see our Terms of Use Agreement.
MONITORING AND USE OF AGGREGATE PERSONAL INFORMATION
We reserve the right to monitor and edit any Personal Information about our users, including information about the use of website activities and services, the contents of users’ email and messages for internal purposes, and when necessary, to disclose to law enforcement personnel, and/or the employer and/or Internet Service Provider of a user that is not in compliance with the Terms of Use Agreement or Privacy Policy. We will take such measures if we believe it is necessary to protect the security, integrity, and operations of this Site or Company.
This Site often provides links to unaffiliated third party websites that could be of interest to our users. As stated in our Terms of Use Agreement, the Company does not own or control these websites and therefore, is not responsible for the content, business practices, nor operations of such websites. Third party websites linked on this Site may have different privacy policies and business practices than we do. The presence of a link to a third party website does not constitute or imply our endorsement, recommendation, or sponsorship of the third party content, goods, or services available through, or contained on, the Site. By use of this Site, you have agreed that you will use the hyperlinks to third party sites at your own risk.
SECURITY MEASURES
We conduct the collection, management, maintenance and storage of website user information in a secure and commercially reasonable manner using acceptable industry standards of security technology and practices (such as electronic security systems and password protections) to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of Personal Information. We also request that our operational service providers take such precautions.
However, please note that when users transmit Personal Information over an unsecured Internet connection, the Site is not responsible for the security of that information during the transmission stage as your email or registration could be copied or intercepted by unknown third parties. We use a secured connection only for the collection of Sensitive Personal Information, which is necessary for the purchase of goods or services, but we do not use a secured connection for other types of activities. Therefore, you understand, acknowledge, and agree that you transmit certain Personal Information over this Site at your own risk.
REVIEW, UPDATE, CORRECT, OR DELETE PERSONAL INFORMATION OR SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION
Generally, you may review, update or delete your Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information collected by the Site. You may also correct factual inaccuracies. Certain types of Personal Information that is necessary to check eligibility, such as birth date or age, cannot be deleted, but may be modified with sufficient verification of the new information. Note that we reserve the right to terminate or delete any membership or entry if we believe the Personal Information submitted was knowingly false or fraudulent.
To review, update or delete your Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information collected by the Site, please email the Site’s Privacy Administrator. To have access to your Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information, you must provide proof of identification such as full name, street address, city/state and zip code, and/or information about your recent activity on the website. We reserve the right to deny access to any user if we believe there is a question about your identity. And if the burden or expense of providing access to your Personal Information is disproportionate to the risks to your privacy, or if the legitimate rights of others would be violated, we may decide not to provide access to such information. In such cases, we will provide to you an explanation of why access cannot be provided and a contact person for further inquiries.
Parents (including legal guardians) of children that registered on the Site who wish to terminate their child’s membership must provide verifiable identification that they are the parent of the ineligible child. Children under the age of 13 that are unknowingly registered on the Site are in violation of our Terms of Use Agreement. The parent will be required to send an email to the Privacy Administrator that includes the parent’s name, address, telephone and email address, in addition to the child’s name and email address as registered on the Site, plus the child’s correct date of birth. We will send a confirming email to the parent via the email address provided to verify that the parent wishes to terminate his or her child’s account. The parent must then confirm by sending a reply email to the designated return address. We will then terminate the child’s records from our site but will notify the child of the termination request via email and will identify the name, address and email address of the person making the request.
