Privacy Policy

Who we are

This website is run by Green Mountain Broadcasters, LLC (“GMB,” “we” or “us”), the owner and operator of WSTJ 1340 AM and 104.1 FM. This policy explains what information we collect when you use wstj1340.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this website you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

Information you give us. If you send a message through our contact form, make a request through a form on this site, or contact us by phone or mail, we receive what you choose to send, such as your name, email address, phone number and the content of your message. Please do not send sensitive information such as bank account numbers or Social Security numbers.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the site, our systems and the services described below collect technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, the pages you view, the links you click, the page that sent you here, and the date and time of your visit.

Information stored on your device. The site may save small preferences or recent data on your device, such as your choice of the light or dark look, the most recent weather information and the most recent Red Sox and Bruins schedules, so pages load faster.

How we use information

• To reply to your messages and carry out your requests, such as an event, advertising or contest inquiry.
• To run, maintain, secure and improve the website and our programming.
• To understand how many people use the site and which pages are useful.
• To protect against spam, fraud and abuse.
• To follow the law, including the rules that apply to broadcasters.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files saved on your device. We use them to keep the site working and to understand how it is used. Our analytics tools are Google Analytics, provided through Google Site Kit, which reports on visits and page views, and Microsoft Clarity, which records how visitors use our pages, such as clicks, scrolling and mouse movement, so we can find problems and improve the design.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site will still work, although some preferences may not be remembered. Google offers a browser add-on that turns off Google Analytics at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, and Microsoft explains how it handles Clarity data in its privacy statement.

Services from other companies

Parts of this site use outside companies and organizations, which have their own privacy practices. They include Jotform, which runs our contact form and may run other forms linked from this site; Google, for Analytics and fonts; Microsoft, for Clarity; the National Weather Service, which supplies weather data; New England 511, which supplies traffic camera pictures; the Vermont Agency of Transportation, which supplies the snow plow map; Vermont Public, which supplies school closing information; Major League Baseball, which supplies the Red Sox schedule shown on our Red Sox page; ESPN, which supplies the Bruins schedule shown on our Bruins page; and the provider of our live stream. When you view or use that content, those companies may collect information such as your IP address. We do not control their practices, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.

How we share information

We do not sell the personal information you give us. We share information only in these cases:

• With service providers that help us run the site and our forms, under their own privacy terms.
• When the law requires it, or to respond to a legal request.
• To protect the rights, safety or property of GMB, our listeners or others.
• If GMB is part of a sale, merger or transfer of its business, in which case information may move to the new owner.

We may also share information that does not identify you, such as overall visitor numbers.

How long we keep information

We keep messages and form submissions for as long as we need them to respond and for our records, and then delete or archive them. Analytics data is kept for the period set by each analytics provider.

Security

We use reasonable measures to protect the information we receive. No website or method of sending information over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot promise absolute security.

Children’s privacy

This website is for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Your choices

You can ask us what personal information we have received from you, and ask us to correct or delete it, by contacting us as shown below. You can also block cookies in your browser and use the opt-out tools above. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under state law; contact us and we will do our best to respond.

Links to other sites

This site links to other websites, including our sister stations and government sites such as the FCC. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.
