The Capitol Deal Privacy Policy

  • Welcome to The Capitol Deal. This site is provided by WP Company LLC (The Washington Post) (“we” or “us”). We value your privacy. This Privacy Policy gives you information about our practices with respect to the personally identifiable information – information that could reasonably identify you – that we collect in connection with this website. Whenever you provide personally identifiable information to us, we will make an effort to link to our privacy policy.
  • I. Collection of Information
    We may ask you to provide personally identifiable information for various reasons and at various times. For example, when you register for an account, we may ask for information such as your name, e-mail address, and phone number; when you purchase a voucher, we may ask you for financial information. We may also ask you for other information at other times – such as when you ask us a question. We may combine this information with other information (including personally identifiable information) about you that we may have collected from other sources.
  • We may automatically collect other information about you when you use this website. For instance, our web servers may automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable information, such as which pages each user visits, the domain name (e.g., earthlink.net) of visitors, your IP address, Web browser software (such as Internet Explorer), and referring web site. In addition, we may place a “cookie” (a small, unique identifier text file) on your system to remember who you are. We also may include other information in our cookie files; for example, if you arrived at this site via a link from third-party site, we may include the URL of the linking page. You may opt out of the cookies delivered by us by changing the setting on your browser. Please be aware that this will disable all cookies delivered to your browser, not just the ones delivered by us. We may combine all of this information with other information, including personally identifiable information we have collected about you.
