Privacy Policy: Tribune Media Services' Blender
At Tribune Media Services (TMS), we respect the privacy of users of our website and our services, and we are committed to protecting it. We have created this policy to demonstrate our commitment to this principle.
We collect personal information, including email addresses, when individuals are set up with accounts giving them access to the TMS website (the TMS Blender) and when they submit bug reports to us. We may also, at times, collect users' IP addresses and other information regarding their use of our website and services. We may use such IP addresses to help diagnose problems with our servers, track movement within our website and, if necessary, deny service in accordance with our Terms of Service. We may also collect information related to the referring URL, access times and browser type.
Unless required by law, we will not share with third parties our users' personal information, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and usage information, except with their consent or in aggregate or anonymous form.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by TMS also may be used for other purposes including but not limited to site administration and troubleshooting. Certain third parties that provide technical support for the operation of our site (our web-hosting service, for example) may access such information.
In order to offer and provide optimized and personalized services, we use cookies to store and sometimes track information about our users. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to a user's browser from a web server and is eventually stored on a user's computer hard drive.
Among other things, the cookie may store a user's name and password, sparing that individual from having to re-enter this information each time he or she visits our site. In certain cases, a user can choose not to provide us with information, for example by setting his or her browser to refuse to accept cookies, but doing so may limit that person's ability to access certain portions of the site or may require the person to re-enter a user name and password. Additionally we may not be able to customize the site's features according to that individual's preferences.
TMS reserves the right to change this policy at any time. Please check this page periodically for changes. Your continued use of our site following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes. Information collected prior to the time any change is posted will be used according to the rules and laws that applied at the time the information was collected.
Illinois law governs this policy and the use of this site. Any claim related to the site or this policy shall be brought in a federal or state court in Chicago, Illinois, within one year after the claim arises. You agree that no such claim may be brought as a class action. Users of the TMS Blender consent to the jurisdiction and venue of such court as the most convenient and appropriate for the resolution of disputes concerning this policy.
TMS is controlled, operated and administered entirely within the United States. If you are located outside the United States, please note that the information you provide to us will be transferred to the United States. You hereby consent to this transfer.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, the practices of this website or your dealings with TMS, you can send an e-mail to
