This Privacy Policy is not a contract and does not create any legal rights.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully.
Definition of Personal Information
“Personal Information” is any information that can be used to identify you, but does not include, for example, information lawfully made available from federal, state, and local government records, information lawfully made available to the general public by the consumer or from widely distributed media, and information made available by a person to whom the consumer has disclosed the information if the consumer has not restricted the information to a specific audience.
This Privacy Policy does not cover data we, or our authorized third-party vendors or partners, collect lawfully, information that does not or cannot be used to identify a particular individual, or de-identified, aggregate, or pseudonymous data.
Sensitive Personal Information
We may collect or process “sensitive personal information” (as defined under applicable state privacy laws), in connection with job applicants, which may include details such as Social Security number or government-issued identification numbers, financial account or payment card information with access credentials, health information or medical conditions, immigration or citizenship status, contents of communications (unless we are the intended recipient), or similar information. We will not process sensitive personal information except where: (a) you have provided specific, opt-in consent; (b) such processing is strictly necessary to provide or maintain a product or service you have specifically requested; or (c) as otherwise permitted under applicable law. We will not use or disclose sensitive personal information for targeted advertising purposes.
Sources of Personal Information, Generally
We get most Personal Information directly from you, through the Site, or from transactions with you in connection with our Services. We might also obtain Personal Information about you from other Site users or other entities with whom we have contact. For example, we may obtain information through public records, or transactions you have with our authorized third-party vendors or partners, some of which may be deemed Personal Information. If you are sharing information with us about any other individual, you must obtain their consent.
Categories of Personal Information Collected

This information may include the name of the domain and host from which you access the Internet and the IP address of the computer or device you are using. We may log and use your IP address to administer the Site, to help diagnose problems with our server, to analyze trends, to track users’ webpage movements, to help identify you and/or verify your use, and to gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. We may use standard tools, such as cookies or web beacons, to monitor the Site and Internet usage and to improve or customize the content on the Site. You should be able to control the use of cookies with respect to your own devices by changing your own browser settings.
Information from Other Sources
Cascade PBS Passport Service: If you are viewing on-demand video on Cascade PBS’s websites via the Cascade PBS Passport service or player, you have agreed that PBS may collect your viewing and usage information and that PBS may share this information with Cascade PBS. Your individual and usage viewing information will only be shared with Cascade PBS, but PBS may share anonymized aggregate viewing and usage information with its member stations and service providers, as well as Cascade PBS. PBS’s collection, storage, and use of Passport information is subject to PBS’s Terms of use and Conditions and PBS’s Privacy Policy.
Cookies, Pixels, Tags, and Advertising Technologies
Our website and emails use cookies, web beacons, pixels, local storage, tags, and similar technologies (collectively, “Tracking Technologies”) to understand how you interact with our content and to deliver and measure advertising. These Tracking Technologies may be provided by us or by third parties, including social media and digital advertising partners such as Meta, Google, LinkedIn, and other advertising and/or analytics providers. When these Tracking Technologies load, they may allow those companies to collect or receive information from our website and other online services (such as your IP address, browser details, pages viewed, queries made, and actions taken) and use that information to provide measurement services and target ads. For more information about our use of Tracking Technologies, please review our Terms of Use and Tracking Technologies Policy.
Log Data
Our web servers may collect log data, which provides aggregate and/or non-aggregate information about the number of visits to different pages on the Site. We use such log data to improve access to the Site based on visitors’ web browsers and operating system types to make the Site available to as many users as possible. We do not link the log data collected to Personal Information except as necessary to provide and/or manage our Services. Third party providers may also collect log data independently from us.
Our Usage of Tracking Technologies
What are Tracking Technologies? Tracking Technologies (such as cookies, pixels, and web beacons) are small text files that can be used by websites to make a user’s experience more efficient. They serve a range of purposes, including enabling core site functionality, remembering your preferences, analyzing site performance, and delivering targeted promotion. Tracking Technologies such as cookies may be served by the entity that operates the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by other companies (“third-party cookies”). Our Site may integrate third-party analytics cookies, like Google Analytics, to help us understand how you are using our Site so that we can make improvements. We may also use other technologies that function similarly to cookies. For instance, we may use web beacons (also called pixels), which are small images on a web page or in an email. Web beacons collect information about your browser or device and can set cookies. In addition, we may use local storage, which allows data to be stored locally on your browser or device.
How do we use Tracking Technologies? This website uses cookies and similar tracking technology, and provides users with options to accept, reject, or modify such use. Some cookies are placed by third party services that appear on our pages. We use Tracking Technologies to provide core site functionality, personalize your experience across our Site, provide social media features, analyze our traffic, and refine our offerings. We also share information about your use of our Site with our social media, advertising, and analytics partners who may combine it with other information that you’ve provided to them or that they’ve collected from your use of their services. This sharing may constitute a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under applicable law, and you may have the right to opt out. Tracking Technologies generally fall into one or more of the following categories:
- Necessary Tracking Technologies help make a website usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The Site cannot function properly without these Tracking Technologies. These Tracking Technologies are deployed without consent as permitted under applicable law.
- Preference Tracking Technologies enable the Site to remember information that changes the way the Site behaves or looks, like your preferred language or the region that you are in.
- Statistic Tracking Technologies help us better understand how visitors interact with our Site by collecting and reporting anonymous information.
- Marketing Tracking Technologies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third-party advertisers. Data collected may be shared with third-party ad networks and partners.
- Unclassified Tracking Technologies are those that we are in the process of classifying, together with their respective providers. These Tracking Technologies are treated as non-essential and require your consent until they are fully categorized. We review and update this list on a regular basis.
Website Interaction Tracking. We may use session replay tools, chat analytics, search analytics, and heat-mapping tools on certain pages of our Site to understand how users interact with our services, diagnose technical issues, and improve functionality. These tools may capture mouse movements, clicks, scrolling behavior, text entered into search fields or chat windows, and page navigation patterns.
Use, Retention, and Sharing. This Site uses several categories of Tracking Technologies. Some Tracking Technologies are placed by third party services that appear on our pages. Under applicable data protection laws, we may store strictly necessary Tracking Technologies on your device without your consent, as they are essential for the operation of this site. For all other Tracking Technologies (including those used for preferences, statistics, marketing) we typically require your consent before they are activated. The data collected through tracking tools is retained for a reasonable period necessary to fulfill our business and analytical purposes. We do not sell or use this data for advertising or profiling purposes. We may share information about your use of our site with trusted third-party partners, such as analytics providers, who assist us in understanding site usage and improving our services. Where such sharing constitutes a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under applicable law, you may have the right to opt out. We provide notice of these tools through a cookie banner and, as applicable, offer you the ability to opt out.
What are your choices concerning Tracking Technologies? You have the right to choose whether or not to accept most Tracking Technologies. However, since Tracking Technologies can be an important part of how our Services work, if you remove or reject cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of our Services. We recognize and honor automated opt-out preference signals, including Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) and other legally recognized Universal Opt-Out Mechanism (“UOOM”) signals, as required by applicable law. You can also change or withdraw your consent at any time via our Site. Once you have selected a consent level you can click on the Your Privacy Settings link in the bottom right of the footer of our Site and can review, modify, or withdraw your Tracking Technologies consent preferences for our Site at any time. Here are some options to control or limit how Tracking Technologies are used on our Services:
- You can usually manage settings to remove or reject browser cookies manually within your browser’s configuration settings. To manage these settings, please follow the instructions given by your browser.
- If you contact us regarding your Tracking Technologies preferences, please include the date you provided or changed your consent via our Site. Your consent record, including your consent date and consent ID, can be found by clicking “Your Privacy Settings” in the bottom right footer of our Site.
- To prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics, you may be able to install Google’s opt-out browser add-on.
Data Minimization
Data Minimization and Protection Assessments. We collect and process personal information only to the extent that it is reasonably necessary and proportionate to the purposes for which it was collected, as described in this Privacy Policy. We periodically review our data collection and processing activities to ensure they remain aligned with applicable data minimization requirements under state, federal, and international privacy laws.
Sensitive Field Masking
Sensitive input fields—such as those for passwords and payment card numbers—are masked and are not recorded or transmitted to any third party.
General Reasons for Collection and Use

Personal Profiles and Preferences. We may also collect and maintain Personal Information about you to create a personal profile containing preferences and other information that you voluntarily provide to us. This information is used for improved functionality of and your interaction with our Services and not for third-party commercial advertising purposes. Examples of the types of information we may collect for this purpose include your first and last name, a valid email address, and geographic location or address. Additionally, we may use your email address to send confirmation of purchases and, if necessary, to contact you to help process a purchase. We may also use your email address to notify you about special offers, promotions, upcoming events, or matters that may be of interest to you.
Cross-Context Behavioral Advertising
Cross-context behavioral advertising is a type of targeted advertising that collects and uses data about your activity on websites, apps, or services that are not affiliated with us. This information is used to deliver tailored ads to you across one or more of these sites. If you do not want us to share your Personal Information for such cross-context behavioral advertising purposes, depending on your location, you can opt out by clicking the “Your Privacy Settings” link at the bottom right footer of our Site to directly adjust your cookie and tracking preferences, or by emailing us at customerservice@cascadepbs.org. You can learn more about opting out of personalized advertising in web browsers by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance’s consumer resources page at https://youradchoices.com/.
Opt-Out Options
Consent and Opt-Out for Tracking Technologies. Where required by law, we will obtain your consent before using these technologies, and you can withdraw your consent or change your preferences at any time through your browser settings. Depending on your location, you may also have the right to opt out of ‘sale’ or ‘sharing’ of Personal Information for cross context behavioral advertising.
GPC / UOOM. We recognize and honor automated opt-out preference signals, including Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) and other legally recognized Universal Opt-Out Mechanism (“UOOM”) signals, as required by applicable law. When our systems detect a valid GPC or UOOM signal from your browser or device, we treat it as a valid request to opt out of: (a) the “sale” of your personal information; (b) the “sharing” of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising; (c) targeted advertising; (d) profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects (as those terms are defined under applicable federal privacy laws). This opt-out will be applied to the browser or device sending the signal and, where technically feasible, will be extended to your authenticated account profile, associated identifiers such as cookies and device IDs, and downstream data-sharing partners and vendors. We do require you to take additional steps to exercise your opt-out rights when using GPC. If you wish to extend your opt-out to additional devices or browsers, you may contact us at customerservice@cascadepbs.org to submit a request that applies across your account. For more information about GPC, visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org. To opt out, you may also be able to adjust your cookie and tracking preferences at any time by clicking on the Your Privacy Settings link in the bottom right footer of our Site or contact us at customerservice@cascadepbs.org.

We also use these tags to track the aggregate number of emails read and whether any of the links in the email were accessed.

We retain Personal Information for as long as is reasonably necessary for our business operations and to fulfill the purpose of collection or further processing as described in this Privacy Policy; as we determine is necessary for business records; and to comply with applicable law. In deciding how long to retain Personal Information, we consider many criteria, including the business purposes for which the Personal Information was collected, relevant federal, state, and local recordkeeping and personal data privacy laws, applicable statutes of limitations for lawsuits, claims or disputes to which the Personal Information may be relevant, and legal preservation of evidence obligations. Some Personal Information is deleted automatically after a set period of time, often set by law, unless we are legally required to hold it longer, such as for pending litigation.

Security Measures and Breach Notification. We restrict access to Personal Information to those who need to know in order to provide services to you and to conduct our internal operations.

As applicable, we will comply with notification requirements for a security breach and may also notify you using the email address you have provided to us.
