Please be aware that WLVT Lehigh Valley Telecommunications Corporation,     Inc. is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such other sites. WLVT Lehigh Valley Telecommunications     Corporation, Inc. encourages users to be aware of this when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and   every website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this   WLVT.org website.

  Children's Guidelines Protecting the privacy of children is very important to WLVT Lehigh Valley Telecommunications Corporation,   Inc. We do not collect or maintain information at our website from people we actually know are under 18.

  WLVT is prohibited from conditioning a child's participation in an activity on the child's disclosing more personally identifiable     information than is reasonably necessary to participate in such activity. You may reach us with any questions or comments at    Viewer Services, phone: (610) 984-8111, or mail: 123 Sesame St., Bethlehem PA 18015.  Please visit the WLVT/PBS Kids Privacy    Policy.

  Security This website employs industry-standard security measures to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information     under WLVT.org control. When any WLVT form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that    information is encrypted with VeriSign encryption software for your protection. VeriSign is the world's leading provider of digital trust   services, and enables people everywhere to communicate, to exchange sensitive documents, and to engage in commerce with   confidence. Digital trust services transform the Internet into a secure digital environment in which people can work and transact   business safely and productively - over every kind of digital network. While on a secure page, such as our user membership form,   the lock icon on the bottom of web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes "locked," as   opposed to "unlocked" (or open) when the user is just 'surfing'. To learn more about VeriSign, go to http://www.verisign.com/. Credit   card authorization requests are sent using the same encryption technology.

  Furthermore, access to users' personally identifiable information is restricted in WLVT's offices, with only certain WLVT employees   granted access to such information as appropriate to perform specific jobs and tasks (e.g., a member service representative).

  Reviewing/Correcting/Updating Personal Information If a member wants to review his or her personally identifiable information   or if this information changes (such as change of address), users can review, correct, update or remove their personal data provided   to WLVT, Inc. in the following ways:

  1. The user can send e-mail to Member Services

  2. The user can call the WLVT Membership Department at (610) 867-4677, ext. 100.

  Choice/Opt-out Members of WLVT Lehigh Valley Telecommunications Corporation, Inc. are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of     receiving communications from WLVT Lehigh Valley Telecommunications Corporation, Inc.
