Gathering and Use of Information
Neither the Cape and Islands NPR Stations, nor WGBH, nor our fulfillment agent who supports "Shop WGBH" pages, will willfully disclose any personally identifiable information about our online users to any third party without first receiving the user's permission, unless required by law. The www.capeandislands.org Web site and "Shop WGBH" pages only collect personally identifiable information from our visitors on a voluntary basis (such as your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, and/or other identifying information). You should recognize that under certain circumstances, if you choose not to voluntarily submit requested information, you may not be able to engage in certain activities -- e.g., entering online contests, purchasing videos or books -- for which personally identifiable information is needed.

Registration, Minimum Requirements, and Security
To serve you better, we offer visitors the option to sign up for free e-mail services, and to gain access to information about their WGBH membership (if this applies) -- all by registering a user name and password. These services are free of charge, entirely optional, and designed to enhance your enjoyment of www.capeandislands.org.

To administer these services we require a minimum of information from you. This includes a user name (your e-mail address), password, acknowledgment that you are 18 years of age or older, and information about your membership status at The Cape and Islands NPR Stations and/or WGBH. Our personalized forms are stored and served from a secure server. This means that each page you view and any information you submit is encrypted on its way between computers (yours and ours). In the unlikely event that the information you send is intercepted, it should not be usable by anyone else. While and no computer system is 100 percent secure, the Cape and Islands NPR Stations Online and WGBH has taken reasonable steps to ensure the information you provide to our Web site. Our goal is to offer service while adhering to the best security practices possible; to do so requires your shared cooperation and commitment. Thus, to participate in these optional services you agree to abide by the following terms and conditions:

• All registration information submitted by you is accurate and updated.
• You will not select or use an e-mail address of another person with the intent to impersonate that person.
• You will not use the e-mail address in which another person has rights without that person's authorization.
• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password. (Please know that if you choose to share your log-in and password, you are providing access to your private information.)
