your privacy rights when visiting its website. To protect your Personal

any changes to this policy will be promptly posted on this page, with
an updated “effective date” at the bottom of the page.
Information Collected
While visiting www.tdtnews.com (hereinafter referred to as the
“Site”), we may ask you to register and/or provide information
that personally identifies you (“Personal Information”)
for purposes of interacting with the Site. Such Personal Information
may include, but is not limited to, your name, phone number, street
address, and e-mail address. On any page that collects Personal Information,
we will specifically describe what information is required in order
to provide you with the product or service, enter you in the promotion
you have requested, or respond to your inquiry or comment.
What are Cookies?
A cookie is a small data text file that a web site sends to your browser,
which is stored on your system. The Site can only access the information
from a cookie sent by the Site. We cannot access cookies sent by other
web sites or the information contained therein. Additionally, we cannot
learn your e-mail address or any other information about you through
the use of a cookie. The only way we would learn such information is
if you specifically and voluntarily submit that information to us, for
example, through a registration system, or by entering a sweepstakes
or promotion.
Why does the Site use cookies?
The Temple Daily Telegram uses cookies to determine whether you are
a registered guest and to track usage of the Site. By tracking usage,
we can determine what features of the Site best serve the users.
What benefits do I receive from cookies?
Cookies identify you to our server, allowing you to avoid retyping your
nickname, name, and e-mail address each time you access portions of
the Site that are subject to registration.
May I decline to accept a cookie?
You may decline to accept cookies sent by the Site by selecting an option
on your browser to reject cookies. However, portions of the Site that
are subject to registration will continuously invite you to register,
which might hamper your positive experience on the Site. Cookies enable
our server to know that you are a registered user, or that you have
graciously declined to register, and will eliminate the need for you
to encounter the registration invitiation each time you access the Site.
IP Addresses
The Temple Daily Telegram logs IP addresses, or the location of your
computer on the Internet, for systems administration and troubleshooting
purposes and to determine site usage. Your IP address does not contain
personal information about you.
Use of Personal Information
We believe in protecting your privacy, and will not share Personal Information
with any third parties , except as described in this Privacy Policy.
We use Personal Information about you to improve our advertising and
marketing efforts, to statistically analyze Site usage, to improve our
content and product offerings and to personalize the Site’s content,
layout, and services. We may also use your Personal Information, such
as your e-mail address or mailing address, to contact you regarding
products and/or services that may be of interest to you, to respond
to an inquiry from you regarding the information that we have collected,
or respond to your comments and suggestions.
As part of your experience on our Site, you may receive
communications from us related to products and services that might interest
you. While we believe these services will enhance your experience at
our Site, you will at all times be able to opt out from receiving these
communications, either by specifically opting out of these services

We reserve the right to disclose Personal Information
when needed to comply with the law or a legal process, cooperate with
investigations of purported unlawful activities, or to identify persons
violating the law.
Party Collecting the Information
This Privacy Policy only addresses the use and dissemination of information
that we collect from you. To the extent that you disclose any information
to other parties, whether through, for example, on-line auctions, chat
rooms, personal ads, or the like, through third party services or promotions
offered on or through the Site or through other web sites throughout
the Internet, different policies may apply and the Temple Daily Telegram
shall not be responsible for the use or dissemination of such information.
Our Site may carry co-branded pages, and other sites
may use the Site’s name. Since The Temple Daily Telegram does
not control the privacy policies of third parties, you are subject to
the privacy customs and policies, if any, of such third parties, and
the Temple Daily Telegram shall not be responsible for the use or dissemination
of your private information by such parties. Therefore, we encourage
you to ask questions and review those parties’ privacy policies
before you disclose your Personal Information to others.

Third party sites linked to and from the Site are not necessarily under
the control of the Temple Daily Telegram. The Temple Daily Telegram
shall have no responsibilities or liabilities whatsoever for the content
or privacy practices of any such linked site or any link or linking
program at any time. The Temple Daily Telegram does not necessarily
endorse companies (or related products or services) to or from which
the Site is linked. If you decide to access any of the third party sites
linked to the Site, you do so entirely at your own risk.
Children’s Privacy
The Temple Daily Telegram cares about the safety of children and their
use of the Internet. Therefore, in accordance with the Children's Online
Privacy Protection Act of 1998, we will never knowingly request or solicit
personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13
without verifiable parental consent. In the event that we receive actual
knowledge that we have collected such personal information without the
requisite and verifiable parental consent, we will delete that information
from our database as quickly as is practicable.
