DigitalScope is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that
gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This Statement of Privacy
applies to the DigitalScope Web site and governs data collection and usage. By using
the DigitalScope website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.
Collection of your Personal Information
DigitalScope collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address,
name, home or work address or telephone number. DigitalScope also collects anonymous
demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age,
gender, preferences, interests and favorites.
There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically
collected by DigitalScope. This information can include: your IP address, browser
type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information
is used by DigitalScope for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of
the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the DigitalScope
Web site.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information
or personally sensitive data through DigitalScope public message boards, this information
may be collected and used by others. Note: DigitalScope does not read any of your
private online communications.
DigitalScope encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose
to link to from DigitalScope so that you can understand how those Web sites collect,
use and share your information. DigitalScope is not responsible for the privacy
statements or other content on Web sites outside of the DigitalScope and DigitalScope
family of Web sites.
Use of your Personal Information
DigitalScope collects and uses your personal information to operate the DigitalScope
Web site and deliver the services you have requested. DigitalScope also uses your
personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services
available from DigitalScope and its affiliates. DigitalScope may also contact you
via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential
new services that may be offered.
DigitalScope does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. DigitalScope
may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about
a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique
personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is
not transferred to the third party. In addition, DigitalScope may share data with
trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal
mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties
are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services
to DigitalScope, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
DigitalScope does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race,
religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
DigitalScope keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within DigitalScope,
in order to determine what DigitalScope services are the most popular. This data
is used to deliver customized content and advertising within DigitalScope to customers
whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
DigitalScope Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice,
only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is
necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process
served on DigitalScope or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property
of DigitalScope; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal
safety of users of DigitalScope, or the public.
Use of Cookies
The DigitalScope Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience.
A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies
cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are
uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that
issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save
you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned
to a specific page. For example, if you personalize DigitalScope pages, or register
with DigitalScope site or services, a cookie helps DigitalScope to recall your specific
information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your
personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on.
When you return to the same DigitalScope Web site, the information you previously
provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the DigitalScope features that
you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically
accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies
if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience
the interactive features of the DigitalScope services or Web sites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
DigitalScope secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or
disclosure. DigitalScope secures the personally identifiable information you provide
on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized
access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number)
is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption,
such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Changes to this Statement
DigitalScope will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company
and customer feedback. DigitalScope encourages you to periodically review this Statement
to be informed of how DigitalScope is protecting your information.
