Dee Sign Privacy StatementDEE SIGN COMPANY Privacy StatementDee Sign Company is committed to protecting the privacy
of users of the DEE SIGN COMPANY Sites. At DEE SIGN COMPANY, we intend to give
you as much control as possible over your personal information, including registration
data. As part of the normal operation of the DEE SIGN COMPANY Sites, we collect
information from you. This Privacy
Statement describes the information we collect about you and how
that information may be used. Information Gathered through the DEE SIGN COMPANY
Sites: DEE SIGN COMPANY will track the domains from which people visit the DEE SIGN
COMPANY Sites in order to gain aggregate data that may be analyzed for trends
and statistics. Subject to the provisions of this Privacy Statement, DEE SIGN COMPANY may use
accumulated aggregate data for several purposes including, but not limited to,
marketing analysis, evaluation of DEE SIGN COMPANY's
services, and business planning. Currently, DEE SIGN COMPANY uses personal information
as a basis for notifications to users, and in order to implement the Terms and
Conditions of Use governing the DEE SIGN COMPANY Sites (the "Terms").
Generally, the user names, email addresses, and any additional information that
a user may choose to post are publicly available on the DEE SIGN COMPANY
Sites. When users voluntarily and publicly disclose personal information
that may contain Registration Data, as defined in the Terms, or otherwise post
personal information in conjunction with content subject to a license, such
personal information necessarily will be disclosed subject to the terms of the
applicable license. An example of such a disclosure includes, but is not
limited to, a user's disclosure of personal information as part of a message
posted to a public message forum, or a publicly-released software application. DEE SIGN COMPANY may conduct surveys or other studies
of its user base and usage for marketing and planning purposes. Participation
in such surveys is at the user's option, but DEE SIGN COMPANY does reserve the
right to conduct mandatory surveys in the future. With respect to information
collected from such surveys or studies, and in the event that responses are to
be publicly disclosed, users will be notified at the time they take the survey
and DEE SIGN COMPANY will disclose only aggregate information regarding its
users and not personal information identifying any specific individual.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in cases where surveys allow users to submit
written comments, and where DEE SIGN COMPANY advises users of the possibility
of such disclosure at the time they take the survey, DEE SIGN COMPANY reserves
the right to disclose text information provided by any user through such a
survey, provided that no personal information identifying that user is
disclosed. Circumstances under which DEE SIGN COMPANY would publicly
disclose aggregate information include, but are not limited to, sharing survey
results with the site population, providing data to DEE SIGN COMPANY
advertisers on user preferences and/or demographics, business planning, and
publicizing overall usage data in press communications. Cookies: DEE SIGN COMPANY employs
"cookies" to provide users with tailored information. A
"cookie" is an element of data that a website, when visited by a
user, sends to that user's browser which, in turn, may store that element on
the user's hard drive or memory. DEE SIGN COMPANY uses cookies to better
serve users of our DEE SIGN COMPANY Sites; any cookies sent by DEE SIGN COMPANY
will be marked so that they will be accessible only by DEE SIGN COMPANY Sites
subject to this Privacy
Statement. However, at his or her option and at his or her sole
expense and responsibility, any user may block or delete our cookies from his
or her hard drive. However, by disabling cookies, certain site features and
functionality may no longer work properly, or at all. Other Notification: In order to implement or
enforce the Terms, DEE SIGN COMPANY may use user-provided e-mail addresses to
contact users on an individual basis. At no time, unless such disclosure
is required by law, a governmental agency, or specifically authorized by the
user, will DEE SIGN COMPANY disclose individual user personal information to
unrelated third parties that is not publicly available. The DEE SIGN COMPANY Sites contain links to other websites, whether owned or
controlled by DEE SIGN COMPANY affiliates, or unrelated third parties. Please
note that the privacy policies of these sites may differ from those of the DEE
SIGN COMPANY Sites. DEE SIGN COMPANY is not responsible for the privacy policies
and practices of any linked website. We encourage you to read the privacy statement of any
website you may visit. "Opt-in" Emails: Users may "opt-in" to receive
site notifications, newsletters, or other information via email. Users may
remove themselves from such services at their discretion. Any email sent to an
"opt-in" list will include directions for how a user may remove
himself or herself from the list, or a URL where the
user may find such directions. To secure site integrity, DEE SIGN COMPANY employs measures, including but
not limited to security audits, use of encryption tools and software, and other
reasonable security measures and procedures. Internal access to users' private and nonpublic
personal information is restricted to site administrators and individuals on a
need-to-know basis. In the event that DEE SIGN COMPANY becomes aware that site security is
compromised or nonpublic user information has been disclosed to unrelated third
parties as a result of external activity, including but not limited to external
security attacks, DEE SIGN COMPANY shall take reasonable measures which it
deems appropriate, including but not limited to internal investigation and
reporting, and notification to and cooperation with law enforcement
authorities, notwithstanding other provisions of this Privacy Statement. If DEE SIGN COMPANY becomes aware that a user's
personal information provided to DEE SIGN COMPANY has been disclosed in a
manner not in accordance with this Privacy
Statement, DEE SIGN COMPANY shall make reasonable efforts to notify
the affected user, as soon as reasonably possible and as permitted by law, of
what information has been disclosed, to the extent that DEE SIGN COMPANY knows
this information. Updates to the Privacy Statement To update the Privacy Statement, we will post both the changed version and its effective date at: http://deesigncompany.com/registration/registration.cfm?Franchise=7; click on Dee Sign Privacy Statement. No Guarantees For Factors
Beyond DEE SIGN COMPANY's Control While this Privacy
Statement expresses DEE SIGN COMPANY's
standards for maintenance of private data, it is not in a position to guarantee
that the standards will always be met. There may be factors
beyond DEE SIGN COMPANY's control (e.g., "script
kiddies", "crackers and other malcontents") that may result in
disclosure of data. As a consequence, DEE SIGN COMPANY disclaims any warranties
or representations relating to maintenance or nondisclosure of private
information. Last modified: 06/19/2003. |
