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.

This website employs industry-standard security measures to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under WLVTs 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, Firefox, Google Chrome, Explorer et al becomes "locked," as opposed to "unlocked" (or open) when the user is just 'surfing'. To learn more about VeriSign, go tohttp://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).

If a member wants to review his/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 Membership by clicking here.
