What information is Collected?
D2SC collects and retains personally identifiable information, including name, title, company,
address, email address, phone numbers, etc. when entered by a visitor. We do not require this information
to obtain access to any part of our public site.
We may ask you for personal information at other times, including by way of example, when you request
an information response such as brochures; when you enter any promotions sponsored in part by D2SC;
when you complete surveys or other questionnaires; or when you send an email to D2SC. Wherever
D2SC collects personal information we try to include a link to this Privacy Policy on that page.
Our web servers also collect the domain names of visitors to our web sites. This information is
aggregated to measure number of visits, average time spent on a D2SC web site, pages viewed, etc.
We use this information to measure the usability of our Site and to improve our Site's content.
What about Cookies?
When you come into our Site, our server attaches a small text file to your hard drive -- a cookie.
Your unique cookie tells us that it's you whenever you re-enter our site, so we can recall where
you’ve previously been on our site, and to provide us with other information to enhance your experience
on our Site.
It's important to note that cookies are safe. They cannot be executed as code or be used to deliver
a virus. Personal information is not gathered from them, or stored on them.
Generally, we use cookies to:
(1) Remind us of who you are and to access your account information (stored on our computers) in
order to deliver to you a better and more personalized experience.
(2) Determine the effectiveness of our strategic partnership and e-commerce relationships. Visitors
linking to the D2SC site from one of our e-commerce partner sites are given a unique cookie, which
is used to determine the effectiveness of these links. This information may be used to help target
advertisements based on user interests and behavior, and to assess our strategic partnership and
e-commerce relationships.
(3) Measure certain traffic patterns, which areas of the D2SC site you have visited, and your
visiting patterns in the aggregate. Information collected by cookies is sometimes called "clickstream."
This is used to understand how our users' habits are similar or different from one another so that
we can make each new experience on a D2SC site, a better one. We may also use this information
to better personalize the content, banner ads, and promotions that you and other users will see
on our sites.
You also have choices with respect to cookies. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the
choice to "accept all cookies", to be notified when a cookie is set, or to "reject all cookies".
If you choose to "reject all cookies" you will be unable to use those services or engage in activities
that require registration in order to participate.
Who is collecting the information?
When you are on a D2SC site and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information
with D2SC Software Corporation , its subsidiaries and related companies. The D2SC Web site may
contain various links to third-party Web sites. These sites may provide additional information,
goods, services and/or promotions. These sites are owned and operated independently of D2SC, and
have their own separate privacy and data collection practices. Any information you provide to these
Web sites will be governed under the terms of their privacy policy, if any. D2SC has no responsibility
or liability whatsoever for the independent actions or policies of these independent sites, and
is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such sites.
How is my information used?
D2SC’s goal in collecting personal information is to facilitate information request processing
and to enable us to contact you if a problem arises with your request. Providing such information
when making a request is required. This information may also be used to provide you with a customized
experience on our site, which may include interactive communications, and other services.
The D2SC site may also contain optional surveys and questionnaires asking for information, as
well as several opportunities for visitors to ask questions. We use the information you provide
to help us design and build better products, to customize your experience, and to provide advice
and other recommendations. Taking part in any of these segments is always optional.
We also use the information we collect to help target valuable marketing and advertising. This kind
of advertising may be done with banner ads as well as promotional emails sent by D2SC, or by third
parties under contract with D2SC.
Finally, D2SC does research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior based on the information
provided to us when making a request, during a promotion, from surveys and from our server log files.
We do this to better understand and serve our users. This research is compiled and analyzed on an
aggregated basis so as to prevent identification of personal information relating to any one individual.
D2SC may share this aggregated data with our business partners.
With whom does D2SC share my information?
Except as outlined in this policy, our Terms of Use page,
or on our website, D2SC never provides your personal information to third-parties without your
consent. D2SC shares the information you provide with D2SC subsidiaries and related companies.
D2SC may disclose personal information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing
this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may
be violating this site’s Terms of Use or may be violating
D2SC’s or other’s rights or causing injury to or interference with D2SC’s or other’s property
interests. D2SC may also disclose or access personal information when we believe in good faith
that the law requires it.
D2SC may match user information with third party data to help us better understand our customers
(customer profiling). D2SC may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our
Web site to prospective business partners, advertisers, and other third parties, and for other lawful
purposes.
What choices do I have regarding collection, use and distribution of my information?
D2SC or its business partners may, from time to time, send you email or direct mail regarding
our products and services. If you do not want to receive such information, simply tell us when you
give us your personal information, or follow the directions contained on it to remove you name from
our mailing list.
On certain types of D2SC promotions, we will ask for your email address in order to contact you
in the event you have won a prize. When you participate in these types of promotions, you automatically
receive promotion-related email. Occasionally these promotion-related email messages may include
targeted advertisements. If you do not wish to receive such advertisements, you can choose not to
participate in such promotions or contests.
You also have choices with respect to cookies. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the
choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies.
What Security measures does D2SC use to protect my information from loss, misuse or alteration?
When you login to any of our systems, your transactions are encrypted for security. Encryption scrambles
the information. Such information can only be viewed by you and D2SC.
When using any of D2SC's online applications, D2SC uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption
technology, the highest level of security on the Internet. The SSL protocol provides server authentication,
data integrity, and privacy on the Web. This security measure helps ensure that no impostors, eavesdroppers,
or vandals get your personal information. SSL not only encrypts your personal and financial information
transmitted, including credit card information, but also verifies the identity of the server and
that the original message arrives safely at its destination.
However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result,
while we strive to protect your personal information, D2SC cannot ensure or warrant the security
of any information you transmit to us or from our Web site, and therefore you use our site at your
own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we use our best effort to ensure its security on our
systems.
Users information are password-protected so that you and only you have access to this personal information.
We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. Also remember to sign out of your
D2SC account and close your browser window when you have finished your work. This is to ensure
that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if you share a computer with
someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet cage.
How can I correct or change or view my personal information?
If you would like to correct, change or view any personal information you have provided, or remove
your name from our mailing list, please e-mail us at feedback@D2SC.com
