this privacy policy. Please note this policy applies only to
information collected by kkrv.com online and does not impact

activities. At kkrv.com, we intend to give you as much control
as possible over your personal information.
The purpose of our policy is to inform you about the types of
information we gather about you when you visit our site(s), how
we may use that information, whether we disclose it to anyone,
and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability
to correct, the information.

I. Information Which We Collect
We may request that you voluntarily supply us with personal
information, including your e-mail address, postal address, home
or work telephone number, credit card number (only if you choose
to purchase a product online), for purposes such as
correspondence, making a purchase, or participating in online
contests, surveys or games. If you choose to give us personal
information via the Internet that we or our business partners
may need -- to correspond with you, process an order or provide
you with a subscription, for example -- it is our intent to let
you know how we will use such information.
Like many other commercial sites, our site(s) may utilize a
standard technology called a "cookie" to collect information
about how our site is used. Cookies were designed to help a Web
site recognize a user's browser as a previous visitor and thus
save and remember any preferences that may have been set while
the user was browsing the site. A cookie cannot retrieve any
other data from your hard drive, pass on a computer virus, or
capture your e-mail address. Our Web site(s) may use cookies to
enhance your visit. Cookies can securely store a user's
password, personalize home pages, identify which parts of a site
have been visited or keep track of selections, such as those
selected in a "shopping cart." Our cookies may collect your
domain name and track your selections through our Web pages. We
only use "cookies" to gather the information indicated in this
policy and do not use cookies to gather personal identifying
information about you without your consent.
We also may use cookies in connection with our chat rooms in
order to record your preferences. These cookies store
automatically information pertaining to the last chat room you
visited, as well as certain comments that can be issues in the
chat room, in order to facilitate your experience with the chat
rooms. No additional identifying information is stored on these
cookies. You also have the option of choosing to allow us to use
a cookie to store your username, or "handle" and password on
your computer for use in that chat rooms, forums and other sites
as indicated on the particular site.
We may require you to supply us with personal information
(demographic information such as average age, income, education,
population data, zip codes) during a "registration" process
online prior to using certain features of our site. For example,
you may be required to register to use chat rooms, forums, and
to access other features. We use this general information to
aggregate information according to demographics, such as gender,
geographic location, age, income or a combination of these or
other demographics.
II. Use of User Information
We may perform statistical analyses of aggregate user behavior.
This allows us to measure relative consumer interest in the
various areas of our Web sites for product development purposes.
Any information we collect is used for its own internal purposes
to improve the content of the Web sites, to enhance users'
experiences when visiting our site(s), to customize the content
and/or layout of our pages, and to provide the services required
by an individual user. We do not use personal identifying
information for any reason that is not disclosed either in this
Policy or at the time the information is requested. We never
send e-mail to you unless you request a particular service, or
consent to being contacted by e-mail. There are instances where
you will have the opportunity to subscribe to an e-mail list
that will send information about the site or our advertisers to
your e-mail address, but this will be done only with your
permission and consent
III. Disclosure to Third Parties
We do not share personal identifying information with any third
party without your permission. We disclose only in aggregate
form our statistical analyses or demographics of users to third
parties, such as advertisers or other business partners. In some
instances, we operate shared Web sites with businesses
affiliated with us. Our privacy policy will apply to these Web
sites, and our affiliates adhere to our privacy policy and will
not share personal information with any third party without your
permission. PLEASE BE AWARE that when you voluntarily disclose
personal information (such as your name, e-mail address) in chat
areas or bulletin boards to third parties, that information may
be collected by others outside the control of us and may result
in unsolicited messages from others.

These privacy policies are effective as of May 1, 2007. We
reserve the right to change this policy at any time, and will
post any changes to this policy as soon as they go into effect.
V. Security of Information
We use our best efforts to ensure the security of personal
information submitted by users. When collecting credit card
information for online purchases, we offer secured-server
transactions that encrypt your information in transit to thwart
someone from intercepting it and misusing it. When we collect
other information from our users, it is stored in an area where
the general public does not have access to it.
VI. Opting-out

may "opt-out" of further e-mail contact from us. For further

materials may not be reproduced in any edited form. Any other
reproduction, transmission, performance, display or editing of
these materials by any means mechanical or electronic without
the express written permission of us is strictly prohibited
VIII. Corrections Policy
Though efforts are made to assure the correctness of information
on linked websites, kkrv.com is not responsible for correcting
information on other websites.
IX. Membership and Registration
a. How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are
visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and
the services provided. You can visit many pages on our site
without providing any information. Other pages may prompt you to
provide information, such as when you register for access to
portions of our site, sign up for membership, request certain
features (e.g., newsletters, news updates and other products),
or make a purchase. You may also provide information when you
participate in sweepstakes and contests, voting and polling
activities, message boards and chat rooms and other interactive
areas of our site.
Like most Web sites, kkrv.com also collects information
automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may
be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name
of your Internet Service Provider or use "cookie" technology.
Among other things, the cookie may store your user name and
password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information
each time you visit, or may control the number of times you
encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site. As
we adopt additional technology, we may also gather information
through other means. In certain cases, you can choose not to
provide us with information, for example by setting your browser
to refuse to accept cookies, but doing so may limit your ability
to access certain portions of the site or may require you to
re-enter your user name and password. Additionally we may not be
able to customize the site's features according to your
preferences.
b. What we do with the information we collect
We will use your information only as permitted by law.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally
identify you) may be used in many ways. As one example, we may
combine information about your usage patterns with similar
information obtained from other users to learn which pages are
visited most or what features are most attractive. Aggregated
Information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and
business partners, but cannot be used to contact you
individually.
We also collect information to enhance your visit and deliver
more individualized content and advertising. For example, we may
use Personally Identifiable Information collected on kkrv.com to
communicate with you regarding our Terms of Service and privacy
policy, products and services offered by kkrv.com and other
Morris affiliates and partners, administration of sweepstakes
and contests, processing e-commerce transactions and other
topics we think you might find of interest. We reserve the right
to share this information with other Morris business units and
affiliates, including for example our affiliated newspapers and
entities in which Morris has an ownership interest
(collectively, "Affiliates"). This policy does not apply to any
Affiliate's use of such information.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by kkrv.com may
also be used for other purposes including but not limited to
site administration and troubleshooting. Certain third parties
who provide technical support for the operation of our site (our
Web hosting service and our newsletter provider, for example)
may access such information.
As we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge
or partner with other companies or businesses. In such
transactions, user information may be among the transferred
assets. We may also disclose your information in response to a
court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably
required to do so by law, in connection with the collection of
amounts you may owe to us, and/or whenever we deem it
appropriate or necessary to give such information to law
enforcement authorities. Please note we may not provide you with
notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
c. Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
kkrv.com expects its partners, advertisers and third-party
affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. However, third
parties, including our partners, advertisers, affiliates and
other content providers accessible through our site, may have
their own privacy and data collection policies and practices.
For example, during your visit to our site you may link to, or
view as part of a frame on a kkrv.com page, certain content that
is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through
kkrv.com you may be introduced to, or be able to access,
information, Web sites, advertisements, features, contests or
sweepstakes offered by other parties. kkrv.com is not
responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties.
You should check the applicable privacy policies of those third
parties when providing information on a feature or page operated
by a third party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or
other third parties may use cookies or other technology to
attempt to identify some of your preferences or retrieve
information about you. For example, some of our advertising is
served by third parties and may include cookies that enable the
advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular
advertisement before. Through features available on our site,
third parties may use cookies or other technology to gather
information. kkrv.com does not control the use of this
technology or the resulting information and is not responsible
for any actions or policies of such third parties.
Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online.
Should you choose to voluntarily disclose Personally
Identifiable Information on our site, such as in message boards,
chat areas or in advertising or notices you post, that
information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used
by third parties without our knowledge and may result in
unsolicited messages from other individuals or third parties.
Such activities are beyond the control of kkrv.com and this
policy.
X. Children
kkrv.com does not knowingly collect or solicit Personally
Identifiable Information from or about children under the age of
13 except as permitted by law. If we discover we have received
any information from a child under the age of 13 in violation of
this policy, we will delete that information immediately. If you
believe kkrv.com has any information from or about anyone under
the age of 13, please contact us.

termination of this Agreement for any reason, you agree the
following provisions will survive: the provisions regarding
limitations on your use of Content, the license(s) you have

any electronic or machine readable statement or policy (for

Service shall control. Similarly, in case of a conflict between
these terms and our Privacy Policy stated below, these Terms of
Service control.
