Privacy policy

The Capital Times collects no data on users of its web site. We do not put cookies on your computer nor do we collect personal information on visitors. As we add features, such as discussion groups that may require registration, we will update this policy to reflect that.

There are links on our site to make it easy for you to send e-mail to members of our staff. Of course, your e-mail address will appear on those communications, but we do not use those e-mails for marketing purposes. On occasion, madison.com runs online contests and participants who consent may have their e-mail addresses included in our marketing data base.

For site management, we also collect information for statistical purposes. We use software programs to create summary statistics, which are used to assess which content is of most and least interest. These programs are not used to identify individual users.

This policy applies only to pages with The Capital Times logo on them. It does not necessarily apply to pages in madison.com, to advertisers, to partners like CyberCivic or to external sites to which we provide links. You should check the privacy policies of those sites if you are concerned about how they operate.
