<p>
<em>Information Automatically Collected Through Technology </em>
</p>
<p>We, our service providers, and our vendors working on our behalf automatically collect certain information about your computer or device and your interactions with our Services through access logs, cookies, pixel tags and other tracking technologies.
Depending on which NPR Services you use and how you access them, the information collected automatically may include:</p>
<ul>
<li>The Internet Protocol address (IP address) of the computer or device you used to access the NPR Services or play podcasts or other media content downloaded through our Services.</li>

<li>Your approximate geographic location information (derived from request header information, such as your IP address) and/or more precise information about the specific location of your device if you have given NPR explicit consent to receive this information for an NPR application on your mobile device.</li>
<li>The make, model, carrier and unique device identifier for your mobile device, the unique advertising identifier (for example, the Apple IDFA (Identifier for Advertisers) or Google Advertising ID) that allows mobile applications running on your mobile device to gather data for purposes of serving targeted advertising or personalized or "interest-based" sponsorship credits, and other information about your computer or mobile device and its browser, operating system, settings and software.</li>
<li>Automobile make (for certain connected car platforms).</li>

<li>Listening data collected both when you download and listen to podcasts or other media files.
Listening data includes descriptions of the title, episodes, segments and sponsorship credits included in a podcast or other media file, time and date stamps for download and playback events (for example, when a file is downloaded and when playback of a particular segment or sponsorship credit starts, stops, is skipped or is paused), the mobile advertising identifier for your device (for example, the Apple IDFA or Google Advertising ID), session IDs and information about the device or platform used to download or play a particular file.
The producers of any independently produced podcasts we distribute may also collect the same types of listening data subject to their own privacy policies, which may differ from ours.</li>

</ul>
<p>Our Services also make use of third-party analytics, cookie data collection and linking services (collectively "Analytics Services"), including Google Universal Analytics, Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting, Remarketing with Google Analytics, and Google Ad Manager.
These Analytics Services may use cookies, pixel tags, and other tracking and storage technologies to collect or receive information (not including your name or the email address you register with NPR) from our Services and elsewhere on the Internet and use that information to analyze and measure our audience and target and evaluate the effectiveness of sponsorship credits.
For example, NPR and Analytics Services may use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies (such as the Remarketing with Google Analytics and DoubleClick cookies) together to inform, optimize, and serve sponsorship credits based on your past interactions with our Services and other websites or services.
In addition, we may use analytics data, including but not limited to, geographic, demographic, and interest reporting information to recognize and understand user preferences, make improvements, and for other operational purposes.
An Analytics Service's ability to use and share analytics information is covered by that service's terms of use and privacy policy.

<p>
<strong>How We Disclose Information</strong>
</p>
<p>NPR is committed to maintaining your trust.
We want you to understand when and with whom we and service providers working on our behalf may share information about you that is collected through our Services.</p>
<p>
<strong>
<em>User Materials.</em>
</strong> Any User Materials you submit through our Contact Us page, social networking services or similar features can be seen, collected and used by us and anyone else who has access to the applicable service.
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 NPR and its Member stations and their respective licensees in accordance with our Terms of Use.</p>
<p>
<strong>
<em>Member stations.</em>
</strong> NPR may share your name, email address, other contact information, and information about your listening activity, donations and interests with the Member stations that are associated with your account or that are local to you.
When we do so, we require those Member stations to commit to the same policies regarding further sharing with third parties that we follow under this Privacy Policy.
If you do not want us to share your name, contact information, or other information, including information about your donations to NPR, with Member stations, you can contact us any time.
However, if you choose to donate to an NPR Member station through our Services, your information may be collected directly by that Member station.
In that case, the collection of your information is subject to that Member station's privacy policy.</p>
<p>
<strong>
<em>Authorized service providers and vendors.</em>
</strong> We may share any information we collect with service providers or vendors who provide us with specialized services or otherwise help us operate our Services including, without limitation, service providers or vendors 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.
Subject to applicable law and your opt-out choices described below, and as we deem appropriate, we may share with vendors or allow them to collect directly information about your devices and your use of our Services.
We will not share your name or contact information with these vendors.
These vendors may use such information pursuant to their own respective privacy policies, which we do not control.
For example, we may share or authorize the collection of such information by vendors that help us analyze and improve our Services or tailor sponsorship credits to your interests.
Our service providers and vendors include the service providers' or vendors' subcontractors that provide specialized services to us or otherwise help us operate our Services.
If you wish to make a payment or receive a refund through our Services, your information will be collected and controlled by the payment processor and not by us and will be subject to that payment service provider's privacy policy and practices.
</p>
<p>
<strong>
<em>Authorized third-party applications.</em>
</strong> 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 NPR Services to you on the applications.
In such cases, the information that we share may include your name, favorite stations, and listening activity.
NPR 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.
NPR 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.</p>
<p>
<strong>
<em>Business transfers.</em>
</strong> We may share any collected information in connection with a substantial corporate transaction, such as the sale of an NPR Service or division, a merger, a consolidation, an asset sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy.</p>
<p>
<strong>
<em>Legal requirements.</em>
</strong> We and service providers working on our behalf may disclose any collected information to respond to subpoenas, court orders, legal process, and other law enforcement measures, and to comply with legal or regulatory obligations.</p>
<p>
<strong>
<em>Protect our Services and users.</em>
</strong> We and service providers working on our behalf may disclose any collected information to enforce our Terms of Use and to protect and defend the legal rights, interests, and safety of NPR, NPR Member stations, their respective employees, agents, contractors, sponsors, listeners and users, members of the general public, or others.</p>
<p>
<strong>
<em>With your consent.</em>
</strong> We and service providers working on our behalf may share any collected information when you expressly or implicitly consent to such disclosure.
For example, if you use our Services to email or text a story to a friend, we would disclose your name to that friend together with the content you directed us to send.</p>
<p>
<strong>
<em>Wireless carriers and automobile manufacturers.</em>
</strong> Wireless carriers and automobile manufacturers also may collect contact and other information and precise location data from our mobile services users through processes we do not control.
You should check the privacy policies of your wireless carriers and automobile manufacturers for additional information.</p>
<p>
<strong>
<em>Podcast producers.</em>
</strong> We may share with third-party producers listening and other data that does not identify you that we collect through your interaction with the podcasts and other media files produced by those third-party producers.</p>
<p>
<strong>
<em>Bitly.</em>
</strong>
<em>
</em>NPR uses a service called Bitly to create shortened uniform resource locators ("URLs" – the "addresses" of individual web pages) for our content so that it can be shared easily, particularly through social media.

<strong>Security</strong>

These safeguards vary based on the sensitivity of the information.
Because no security system is impenetrable, however, we cannot guarantee the security of our databases or that information you supply will never be intercepted, accessed, or disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.

For instance, clicking or tapping on a sponsorship credit or some third-party logos on the NPR Services will take you to an entirely different site or service that may collect, use and share information in ways that NPR would not.
You also may access NPR content and the NPR Services from a third-party site or service that may collect, use and share information in ways that NPR would not.
NPR is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of these third-party services and we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the privacy policies of any such sites or services you visit or access.</p>
<p>
<strong>Social Networking Services Sign-in and Sharing Tools</strong>
</p>
<p>Our Services allow users to sign in to their NPR accounts using their credentials on social networking services such as Facebook and Google+ (each an "SNS").
If you sign in to our Services through an SNS, we will receive your email address and certain profile information from such SNS in accordance with its privacy policy and your SNS account privacy settings.
Any information that we collect from your SNS account may depend on the privacy settings you have selected with that SNS, so please consult the applicable SNS's privacy and data policies to learn how to manage these settings.</p>
<p>If you use tools on our Services that allow you to share stories or other content with your friends and followers on an SNS such as Facebook, Twitter, Flipboard, or Google+, that action and any information you share may be used by the SNS according to its own privacy policy.</p>

<p>NPR reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time.
Any changes will be posted to this page, so please check back periodically.

Collected Through Our Services</strong>\n</p>\n<p>\n<em>Information You Provide
Directly Through Our Services</em>\n</p>\n<p>We and service providers working on
our behalf will collect any information that you choose to provide directly through
our Services, including your name, email address, postal address, telephone number,
password, age, payment card information, country of residence, communications and
content preferences and your favorite Member stations.\nFor example, such information
may be collected when you:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Register for an NPR account, application
programming interface (API) content access, or any NPR email newsletter.</li>\n<li>Email,
text or otherwise share a story from any of the NPR Services.</li>\n<li>Contact
us with a message.</li>\n<li>Make a purchase from the NPR Shop.</li>\n<li>Post,
upload, or otherwise submit to NPR a comment, story idea, essay, photo, or other
content or user-generated material (\"User Materials\").</li>\n<li>Register for
an NPR tour or event or any contest we sponsor.</li>\n<li>Apply for a job, internship
or fellowship at NPR.</li>\n<li>If you choose to participate in a survey, we may
ask you to provide your date of birth, gender, education level, information about
your employment, income level and other information.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Like other
non-profit organizations, we also track donation activity on an individual basis.\nAccordingly,
if you choose to donate to NPR or an NPR Member station through the NPR Services,
or express interest in or request information about making donations, we may keep
a record of these contacts that includes your name, contact information and other
information about your donation or inquiry.\nIf you choose to donate to an NPR Member
station, your information may be collected directly by NPR and/or by that Member
station and, if collected by the Member station, subject to the Member station's
privacy policy.</p>\n<p>We also may ask you to provide other information about yourself
for various other purposes that we specify or make apparent at the time of collection.</p>\n<p>\n<em>Information
Automatically Collected Through Technology </em>\n</p>\n<p>We, our service providers,
and our vendors working on our behalf automatically collect certain information
about your computer or device and your interactions with our Services through access
logs, cookies, pixel tags and other tracking technologies.\nDepending on which NPR
Services you use and how you access them, the information collected automatically
may include:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Internet Protocol address (IP address) of the computer
or device you used to access the NPR Services or play podcasts or other media content
downloaded through our Services.</li>\n<li>The domain name of your Internet Service
Provider.</li>\n<li>The website, application, platform or service you visited before
and after visiting an NPR Service.</li>\n<li>Search terms you enter using the NPR
Services or on a referring website.</li>\n<li>Your approximate geographic location
information (derived from request header information, such as your IP address) and/or
more precise information about the specific location of your device if you have
given NPR explicit consent to receive this information for an NPR application on
your mobile device.</li>\n<li>The make, model, carrier and unique device identifier
for your mobile device, the unique advertising identifier (for example, the Apple
IDFA (Identifier for Advertisers) or Google Advertising ID) that allows mobile applications
running on your mobile device to gather data for purposes of serving targeted advertising
or personalized or \"interest-based\" sponsorship credits, and other information
about your computer or mobile device and its browser, operating system, settings
and software.</li>\n<li>Automobile make (for certain connected car platforms).</li>\n<li>The
dates, times, duration, and frequency of your interactions with our Services.</li>\n<li>Your
navigation path through the NPR Services, including any \"favorites\" you select,
and patterns in the paths you take.</li>\n<li>A list of files you download, listen
to, view, email, text or otherwise share and other content preferences.</li>\n<li>The
amount of time spent listening to or viewing media files or pages.</li>\n<li>Listening
data collected both when you download and listen to podcasts or other media files.\nListening
data includes descriptions of the title, episodes, segments and sponsorship credits
included in a podcast or other media file, time and date stamps for download and
playback events (for example, when a file is downloaded and when playback of a particular
segment or sponsorship credit starts, stops, is skipped or is paused), the mobile
advertising identifier for your device (for example, the Apple IDFA or Google Advertising
ID), session IDs and information about the device or platform used to download or
play a particular file.\nThe producers of any independently produced podcasts we
distribute may also collect the same types of listening data subject to their own
privacy policies, which may differ from ours.</li>\n<li>Information about your interactions
with our email messages, such as links you click on and whether you open or forward
a message, the date and time of these interactions, and information about the computer
or device you use to read emails.</li>\n<li>Any errors you encountered during your
use of our Services.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Our Services also make use of third-party analytics,
cookie data collection and linking services (collectively \"Analytics Services\"),
including Google Universal Analytics, Google Analytics Demographics and Interest
Reporting, Remarketing with Google Analytics, and Google Ad Manager.\nThese Analytics
Services may use cookies, pixel tags, and other tracking and storage technologies
to collect or receive information (not including your name or the email address
you register with NPR) from our Services and elsewhere on the Internet and use that
information to analyze and measure our audience and target and evaluate the effectiveness
of sponsorship credits.\nFor example, NPR and Analytics Services may use first-party
cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies (such as
the Remarketing with Google Analytics and DoubleClick cookies) together to inform,
optimize, and serve sponsorship credits based on your past interactions with our
Services and other websites or services.\nIn addition, we may use analytics data,
including but not limited to, geographic, demographic, and interest reporting information
to recognize and understand user preferences, make improvements, and for other operational
purposes.\nAn Analytics Service's ability to use and share analytics information
is covered by that service's terms of use and privacy policy.\nTo learn more about
how Google uses data, visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.\n</p>\n<p>Further

your registration information, settings and preferences so you do not have to re-enter
this information each time you visit.</li>\n<li>With your consent where required

the information or for which we otherwise have your consent.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>\n<strong>How
We Disclose Information</strong>\n</p>\n<p>NPR is committed to maintaining your
trust.\nWe want you to understand when and with whom we and service providers working
on our behalf may share information about you that is collected through our Services.</p>\n<p>\n<strong>\n<em>User
Materials.</em>\n</strong> Any User Materials you submit through our Contact Us
page, social networking services or similar features can be seen, collected and
used by us and anyone else who has access to the applicable service.\nSuch information
is likely to become public and we cannot be responsible for any unauthorized third-party
use.\nAny User Materials you submit may also be freely used and shared by NPR and
its Member stations and their respective licensees in accordance with our Terms
of Use.</p>\n<p>\n<strong>\n<em>Member stations.</em>\n</strong> NPR may share your
name, email address, other contact information, and information about your listening
activity, donations and interests with the Member stations that are associated with
your account or that are local to you.\nWhen we do so, we require those Member stations
to commit to the same policies regarding further sharing with third parties that
we follow under this Privacy Policy.\nIf you do not want us to share your name,
contact information, or other information, including information about your donations
to NPR, with Member stations, you can contact us any time.\nHowever, if you choose
to donate to an NPR Member station through our Services, your information may be
collected directly by that Member station.\nIn that case, the collection of your
information is subject to that Member station's privacy policy.</p>\n<p>\n<strong>\n<em>Authorized
service providers and vendors.</em>\n</strong> We may share any information we collect
with service providers or vendors who provide us with specialized services or otherwise
help us operate our Services including, without limitation, service providers or
vendors 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.\nSubject to applicable law and
your opt-out choices described below, and as we deem appropriate, we may share with
vendors or allow them to collect directly information about your devices and your
use of our Services.\nWe will not share your name or contact information with these
vendors.\nThese vendors may use such information pursuant to their own respective
privacy policies, which we do not control.\nFor example, we may share or authorize
the collection of such information by vendors that help us analyze and improve our
Services or tailor sponsorship credits to your interests.\nOur service providers
and vendors include the service providers' or vendors' subcontractors that provide
specialized services to us or otherwise help us operate our Services.\nIf you wish
to make a payment or receive a refund through our Services, your information will
be collected and controlled by the payment processor and not by us and will be subject
to that payment service provider's privacy policy and practices.\n</p>\n<p>\n<strong>\n<em>Authorized
third-party applications.</em>\n</strong> 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
NPR Services to you on the applications.\nIn such cases, the information that we
share may include your name, favorite stations, and listening activity.\nNPR prohibits
the third-party developers of those applications from accessing, storing or sharing
any such non-public information.\nHowever, 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.\nNPR
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.</p>\n<p>\n<strong>\n<em>Business
transfers.</em>\n</strong> We may share any collected information in connection
with a substantial corporate transaction, such as the sale of an NPR Service or
division, a merger, a consolidation, an asset sale, or in the unlikely event of
bankruptcy.</p>\n<p>\n<strong>\n<em>Legal requirements.</em>\n</strong> We and service
providers working on our behalf may disclose any collected information to respond
to subpoenas, court orders, legal process, and other law enforcement measures, and
to comply with legal or regulatory obligations.</p>\n<p>\n<strong>\n<em>Protect
our Services and users.</em>\n</strong> We and service providers working on our
behalf may disclose any collected information to enforce our Terms of Use and to
protect and defend the legal rights, interests, and safety of NPR, NPR Member stations,
their respective employees, agents, contractors, sponsors, listeners and users,
members of the general public, or others.</p>\n<p>\n<strong>\n<em>With your consent.</em>\n</strong>
We and service providers working on our behalf may share any collected information
when you expressly or implicitly consent to such disclosure.\nFor example, if you
use our Services to email or text a story to a friend, we would disclose your name
to that friend together with the content you directed us to send.</p>\n<p>\n<strong>\n<em>Wireless
carriers and automobile manufacturers.</em>\n</strong> Wireless carriers and automobile
manufacturers also may collect contact and other information and precise location
data from our mobile services users through processes we do not control.\nYou should
check the privacy policies of your wireless carriers and automobile manufacturers
for additional information.</p>\n<p>\n<strong>\n<em>Podcast producers.</em>\n</strong>
We may share with third-party producers listening and other data that does not identify
you that we collect through your interaction with the podcasts and other media files
produced by those third-party producers.</p>\n<p>\n<strong>\n<em>Bitly.</em>\n</strong>\n<em>\n</em>NPR
uses a service called Bitly to create shortened uniform resource locators (\"URLs\"
– the \"addresses\" of individual web pages) for our content so that it can be shared
easily, particularly through social media.\nBitly 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.\nIf you have established a separate account
with Bitly, Bitly may associate the foregoing information with personal information
it has stored in your Bitly account in accordance with Bitly's own privacy policy.\nTo
share our content without using Bitly, copy the full URL of the story you want to
share from your browser and paste it into your email, text or social media message.</p>\n<p>\n<strong>\n<em>Aggregated
and anonymous information.</em>\n</strong> Subject to applicable law and your opt-out
choices described below, and as we deem appropriate, we may share with third parties
or allow them to collect directly aggregated or other information that is not reasonably
linkable to you or your device.\nThese third parties may use such information pursuant
to their own respective privacy policies, which we do not control.\nFor example,
we may share or authorize the collection of such information by our service providers
or our vendors that help us analyze and improve our Services, provide us and other
digital media organizations with ratings and ranking data, or help us to create
personalized content.\nWe may also share or authorize the collection of such information
by sponsors or their agencies to help them measure the impact of their sponsorship
campaigns.\n</p>\n<p>\n<strong>Your Choices</strong>\n</p>\n<p>You have the following
choices to update, correct and limit the collection and use of information gathered
through our Services.</p>\n<p>\n<strong>\n<em>Don't volunteer information.</em>\n</strong>\n<em>\n</em>If
you do not consent to the collection, use or sharing of your contact and other information
as described in this Privacy Policy, please do not use the NPR Services or provide
information to us.\nBy using the NPR Services or providing information to us through
the NPR Services, you are \"opting in\" to the collection, use and sharing of that
information as described in this Privacy Policy.</p>\n<p>\n<strong>\n<em>Registration
information</em>\n</strong>\n<strong>.</strong> Sign in to your NPR account or contact
us to correct or update any registration information you provided to us, opt out
of future email newsletters from us, or cancel your NPR account, NPR newsletter
subscription or other NPR registrations.\nFor your protection, we may only act on
requests with respect to the registration data associated with the particular email
address that you use to send us your request, and we may ask you to verify your
identity before implementing your request.\nWe will try to comply with your request
as soon as reasonably practicable.\nWe may need to retain certain information for
recordkeeping purposes and/or to complete any transactions that you began prior
to requesting a correction, update or cancellation.</p>\n<p>\n<strong>\n<em>Donation
information</em>\n</strong>\n<strong>.</strong> If you are a donor to NPR and do
not want us to share your name, contact information or other information with any
Member station, you can opt out of such sharing at the time you make the donation
or you can contact us any time.\nHowever, if you choose to donate to an NPR Member
station through our Services, your information may be collected directly by that
Member station.\nIn that case, the collection of your information is subject to
that Member station's privacy policy.</p>\n<p>\n<strong>\n<em>Cookies.</em>\n</strong>

non-personalized, non-\"interest-based\" sponsorship credits on NPR.org.\nGoogle
also offers opt-out features to limit the use of your information for \"interest-based\"
sponsorship credits at https://adssettings.google.com/.\n</p>\n<p>You also may adjust
the settings on your device.\nFor iOS mobile devices, go to \"Settings\" from your

on \"Limit Ad Tracking.\" For Android mobile devices, go to \"Google Settings\"
on your device, select \"Ads\".\nand check the box labeled \"Opt Out of Interest-Based

sponsorship credits by using browsers or browser plugins with privacy features.</p>\n<p>Note
that if you opt out, you may still receive the same number of sponsorship credits
as before but they may not be as relevant to your interests.\nOpting out of third-party
\"interest-based\" sponsorship credits, and opting out of sharing of your information
with our sponsorship vendor Google for delivery of \"interest-based\" sponsorship
credits on NPR.org by pressing the opt-out button below, is a cookie-based process

If you consent to our collection of your precise device location through an NPR
mobile application, you can withdraw your consent at any time and prevent the further
collection of your precise location by accessing the privacy settings of your mobile
device and/or the settings of the NPR mobile application.</p>\n<p>\n<strong>Do Not
Track</strong>\n</p>\n<p>We do not currently respond to browser do-not-track signals.\nInstead,
we adhere to the standards set out in this Privacy Policy and offer the choices
described above.</p>\n<p>\n<strong>Security</strong>\n</p>\n<p>We employ physical,
electronic, and managerial safeguards in an effort to secure the information we
collect.\nThese safeguards vary based on the sensitivity of the information.\nBecause
no security system is impenetrable, however, we cannot guarantee the security of
our databases or that information you supply will never be intercepted, accessed,
or disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.\nBecause
most email and mobile transmissions are not encrypted, you should take special care
in deciding what information you send to us via email, text messages, or other mobile
transmissions.</p>\n<p>\n<strong>Links to and from Other Sites and Services</strong>\n</p>\n<p>Our
Services contain links to other sites, applications, platforms and services operated
by third parties whose privacy policies we don't control and may differ significantly
from ours.\nFor instance, clicking or tapping on a sponsorship credit or some third-party
logos on the NPR Services will take you to an entirely different site or service
that may collect, use and share information in ways that NPR would not.\nYou also
may access NPR content and the NPR Services from a third-party site or service that
may collect, use and share information in ways that NPR would not.\nNPR is not responsible
for the content or privacy practices of these third-party services and we recommend
that you familiarize yourself with the privacy policies of any such sites or services
you visit or access.</p>\n<p>\n<strong>Social Networking Services Sign-in and Sharing
Tools</strong>\n</p>\n<p>Our Services allow users to sign in to their NPR accounts
using their credentials on social networking services such as Facebook and Google+
(each an \"SNS\").\nIf you sign in to our Services through an SNS, we will receive
your email address and certain profile information from such SNS in accordance with
its privacy policy and your SNS account privacy settings.\nAny information that
we collect from your SNS account may depend on the privacy settings you have selected
with that SNS, so please consult the applicable SNS's privacy and data policies
to learn how to manage these settings.</p>\n<p>If you use tools on our Services
that allow you to share stories or other content with your friends and followers
on an SNS such as Facebook, Twitter, Flipboard, or Google+, that action and any
information you share may be used by the SNS according to its own privacy policy.</p>\n<p>\n<strong>Changes
to This Privacy Policy</strong>\n</p>\n<p>NPR reserves the right to change this
Privacy Policy at any time.\nAny changes will be posted to this page, so please
check back periodically.\nYour use of our Services constitutes consent to the Privacy
Policy then in effect.\nPlease read NPR's Terms of Use to understand additional
terms and conditions that apply to your use of our Services.</p>\n<p>\n<strong>Users
Outside the U.S.</strong>\n</p>\n<p>Our Services are controlled and operated within
the United States.\nAny information we collect may be transferred to, and processed,
stored, and accessed by, us, our service providers, and our vendors in the United
States and in other jurisdictions where we, our service providers, or our vendors
operate.\nThese jurisdictions may have data privacy laws that may not be as protective
as those of your home jurisdiction, and courts and other authorities may, in certain
circumstances, be entitled to access information about you subject to such data
privacy laws.\nBy using the NPR Services, you agree to this transfer, processing,
storage, and access of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.</p>\n<p>NOTICE
