Cookies and Other Technologies
ENDURANCE TRAVELER also uses ~cookies~ to collect information. A cookie is a string of characters that can be written to a file on the user~s hard drive when the user visits a Web site. Only the Web site that set the cookie can read it, and it can only be used as a record keeping device to store user IDs and information that the site already has. It cannot be used to read other information from the user~s hard drive.
ENDURANCE TRAVELER uses cookies to track users~ activity through the site in order to improve the site~s architecture, to offer the user interactive features that would not be possible without them, and to recall specific information to save the user time during subsequent visits to the site. For example, cookies allow ENDURANCE TRAVELER to remember your registration information while you are logged in. Local station customization, the ENDURANCE TRAVELER Online Shop, and other interactive features also use cookies. Our sponsorship service vendors, which serve sponsorship messages onto our site, and third party vendors that measure and analyze the use of the ENDURANCE TRAVELER Web Sites for ENDURANCE TRAVELER, may also use their own cookies.

Any information that you disclose when participating in the ENDURANCE TRAVELER Community (including creating a profile or submitting a comment to a story or blog or in a discussion thread), such as your full name and any nickname, is likely to become public. This information may be posted on the ENDURANCE TRAVELER Web Sites. In addition, ENDURANCE TRAVELER, its affiliates and their licensees, may use, copy, sublicense, modify, transmit, publicly perform, display, create derivative works of, host, index, cache, tag, encode, and/or adapt any User Materials, and any information contained therein, in any and all media formats or channels, whether now known or hereafter devised, including, but not limited to, the ENDURANCE TRAVELER Web Sites, ENDURANCE TRAVELER affiliate web sites, other third party web sites, over the air (on radio or television), and on mobile platforms. Further, other users of the ENDURANCE TRAVELER Web Sites may embed a widget or feed that allows your User Materials to appear on their personal, noncommercial web site, blog or other application, subject to conditions set forth in the Terms of Use.
In addition, if you send User Materials to ENDURANCE TRAVELER through our Web site, we may print the User Materials, or an excerpt from the User Materials, on the ENDURANCE TRAVELER Web site, read them on air, or otherwise publish them in any other medium, together with your name and location (city, state and/or country) if you provide that information to us.
Excluding information provided by the user when participating in the ENDURANCE TRAVELER Community or sending User Materials to ENDURANCE TRAVELER, which may become public as discussed above, personally-identifying information collected by ENDURANCE TRAVELER is not provided to outside parties except ENDURANCE TRAVELER affiliates, ENDURANCE TRAVELER service vendors (such as ENDURANCE TRAVELER Online Shop fulfillment service, and ENDURANCE TRAVELER~s email list manager), and other third parties when the user specifically consents to such distribution (such as the disclosure of your name to a friend when you email a story to that friend). In these circumstances, the information is provided for the sole purpose of -- and only to the extent necessary for -- delivering the requested goods to the user, delivering communications from ENDURANCE TRAVELER or ENDURANCE TRAVELER affiliates to users who have ~opted in~ to the receipt of these communications, providing services for and on behalf of ENDURANCE TRAVELER, or serving other internal ENDURANCE TRAVELER or ENDURANCE TRAVELER affiliate purposes.
ENDURANCE TRAVELER also may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or if it believes that such action is necessary to (a) comply with the law or with legal process, (b) protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the ENDURANCE TRAVELER Web Sites, or (c) protect the personal safety or property of users of the ENDURANCE TRAVELER Web Sites, the public or ENDURANCE TRAVELER and its employees.
If you do not want your personally-identifying information to be collected or used for any of these purposes, please do not provide it (although if you do not provide it, you may not be able to use or participate in certain features of the ENDURANCE TRAVELER Web Sites). You can also ~opt out~ according to the process described below.
ENDURANCE TRAVELER, with the assistance from time to time of its third party service vendors, uses non-identifying aggregate information to analyze use of and better design the ENDURANCE TRAVELER Web Sites and to share with third parties in aggregate form only as appropriate. For example, we may tell a third party that a certain number of users accessed a particular audio stream on our Web site. However, we will not disclose any information that could be used to identify those users.
Security
ENDURANCE TRAVELER has in place what we believe to be appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. Credit card information provided to the ENDURANCE TRAVELER Online Shop is protected against unauthorized use by 128-bit encryption and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) security features, which scramble your personal information so that only your web browser and our Web site~s server can decipher it. However, no Internet or e-mail transmission is ever fully secure or error free. Because most e-mail is not encrypted, you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail.
