When we use the term "parent" below, we mean to include legal guardians.

Information We Collect
Children can enjoy content and features on CBS Local Services without directly providing contact information. However, children who wish to participate in sweepstakes, contests, and certain other special activities may need to provide information such as first name, user name, password, email address, date of birth, city and state of residence, and gender.

In the course of participating in interactive features such as chat rooms and message boards, a child may provide us with additional information about himself or herself, such as the contents of his or her postings. Some information, including information collected through cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies may be collected automatically. For more information, see the "Information we collect automatically on CBS Local Services" section of our general privacy policy.

If we knowingly collect, use or disclose contact information collected from a child, we will provide you notice and obtain parental consent in accordance with applicable law.

We do not condition a child's participation in an online activity on the child's providing more contact information than is reasonably necessary to participate in that activity.

Use of Information

We use the information we collect consistent with the services requested by the child. For example, we may use information provided by the child to:

• Send a newsletter, electronic card, and other communication requested by the child;
• Enable a child's participation in certain interactive features such as games, contests, message boards, chat rooms, song requests, and online scrolling tickers; and
• Respond to correspondence sent by the child.

We may also use a parent's contact information to communicate with the parent regarding the child's activities on CBS Local Services. For example, if a child wins a sweepstakes or contest, we may use the parent's contact information to conduct prize fulfillment.

Disclosure of Information Collected
Information collected from children will be disclosed in the same ways described in the Disclosure of Information Collected section of our general Privacy Policy. Third parties who receive contact information collected by CBS Local have agreed to maintain the confidentiality, security and integrity of that information. Parents have the option not to consent to the disclosure of their child's contact information to third parties. Parents may also consent to CBS Local's collection and use of their child's contact information while refusing to permit the disclosure of that information to third parties.

Parents' Choices and Access to Children's Information
Parents may review the contact information we have collected from their child, refuse to permit us to collect further contact information from their child, and request that any contact information we have collected be deleted from our records.

To review, update or delete your child's contact information, please contact us. You may also send your request to the postal address listed below. To protect your child's safety, we ask for proof of your identity. We may deny access if we believe there is a question about your identity.

Please note that certain information cannot be deleted because of other legal obligations, such as FCC requirements.

Changes to the CBS Local Children's Privacy Policy
We may amend the CBS Local Children's Privacy Policy at any time and will make material changes only in conformance with applicable law. We will provide parents with notice of any material changes in the way we intend to collect, use, and share children's contact information. Accordingly, parents should update their contact information to provide us with current email addresses at all times.

If you need further assistance, please contact us. If you would prefer to submit your questions or comments by postal mail, please send a letter to the following address:

Will you share my contact information with third parties? Like other businesses, we share contact information (such as name and email address) with vendors who process credit card transactions, with business partners who co-sponsor CBS Local Services, and when we have consent from our users. For more information, click here.

Can you give me an example when you will share my information with third parties? If you enter a sweepstakes that is jointly sponsored by a third party, we may share your contact information with that third party. Also, if you seek to download a free song from a band or listen to a free stream of a band, we might ask you to consent to have your contact information shared with third parties who may contact you about information concerning that band's appearances. This allows us to offer you valuable content for free.

Does CBS Local allow third parties to collect and use data about me for online advertising? Our advertisers may have relationships with third parties who deliver their advertisements on our Services. While delivering these advertisements, these third parties may collect and use information about your activities on our Services (such as the content you viewed). These companies may offer you a way to choose not to have your information used for advertising purposes. To learn more, click here.

Does CBS Local share contact information with other websites or services owned by CBS Corporation? As CBS Corporation continues to expand its online offerings, we will share information with other websites owned by our parent, CBS Corporation, so that we can inform our users better about products and services in which they may be interested. It is up to you to decide whether you want to hear about special offers from us or from other business units owned by CBS Corporation. You can choose not to receive such marketing emails when you register with us, by updating your preferences, by clicking on the “Unsubscribe" link in any email we send, or by contacting us localcontactus@cbs.com.

Do you use my data for advertising on CBS Local Services? Like other websites, we are able to offer free content and services through the revenue we receive from advertising on CBS Local Services. We hope you value the advertising you see on our Services, and we may use some data about you to tailor advertisements to your apparent interests. For example, if you visit the CBS Local Services and read articles about computers, we may serve you with a computer-related advertisement when you visit another CBS Local Service. This advertising does not result in you seeing more advertisements; rather, it just means you’ll see more relevant advertisements. To learn more, click here.

What are the benefits to me of the new Privacy Policy? We hope you will find our Privacy Policy easier to read and understand across all CBS Local Services. We are committed to gaining and maintaining your trust. If you have any questions about our Privacy Policy, please contact us.
