Such information is likely to become public and we cannot be responsible for any unauthorized third-party use. Any User Materials you submit may also be freely used and shared by KCRW and its s and their respective licensees in accordance with our Terms of Use.

If you do not want us to share your name, contact information, or other information, including information about your donations to KCRW, with s, you can contact us any time. However, if you choose to donate to an KCRW  through our Services, your information may be collected directly by that . In that case, the collection of your information is subject to that 's privacy policy.

Authorized service providers. We may share any information we collect with service providers who provide us with specialized services or otherwise help us operate our Services including, without limitation, service providers that provide customer support, email deployment, account sign-in services, payment processing, order fulfillment, analytics, marketing, suppression list management, contest management and data processing services. Authorized third-party applications. We may share with authorized third-party applications information that you provide directly through our Services and information collected automatically through technology for the purpose of providing certain KCRW Services to you on the applications. In such cases, the information that we share may include your name, favorite stations, and listening activity. KCRW prohibits the third-party developers of those applications from accessing, storing or sharing any such non-public information. However, please be aware that your use of the third-party application is otherwise subject to the third-party application’s privacy policy, which we do not control and which may differ significantly from ours. KCRW is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party application and we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the privacy policies of any third-party sites, applications, platforms, and services that you visit or access.

Bitly collects information as our shortened URLs are shared and clicked on, including IP addresses, general location information, the time and day each shortened URL is accessed, and the social media or other channels through which our content is shared.

You also may access KCRW content and the KCRW Services from a third-party site or service that may collect, use and share information in ways that KCRW would not.
