DDI recognizes the importance of keeping information about you secure and confidential. We want you to understand what information we collect about you, and how we use that information.
What Information we may Collect:
DDI does not automatically collect any personally identifiable information, such as name, address, email address or telephone number, from visitors to this website. Occasionally, users may be asked to voluntarily supply DDI with certain personally identifying information when they request certain information or register for certain events.
CHILDREN:
The website does not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from individuals under 18 years of age. Persons under 18 years of age should not submit any personally identifiable information DDI.
How we may use your Information:
Personal information collected by the Website may be used for internal purposes, including but not limited to provision of services requested by users, site administration, troubleshooting, newsletters and other communications. DDI’s employees are permitted to access and use users’ non public personal information solely for the purposes of conducting DDI’s business and are subject to discipline for any violation of DDI’s information privacy policies. DDI may keep web logs indicating the IP addresses of those who have visited the Website, but these IP addresses are not linked to any personally identifiable information. DDI uses the IP addresses to analyze and monitor the activities of users in order to improve the quality of the Website. The Foundation will not try to connect this non-identifiable information with any identifiable information that users may voluntarily provide.
When we will disclose your Information:
DDI will not provide a user’s personal information to any third party without the user’s consent, except under the circumstances described below. DDI does not sell user personal information under any circumstances. Compliance with the Legal Process: DDI may disclose personal information to third parties if it in good faith believes that such action is necessary to (1) comply with the law or with legal process; (2) protect and defend its rights and property; (3) protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the Website; or (4) protect the personal safety, property or rights of users or the public. DDI may also disclose personal information to agents or representatives to provide you with services you have requested and/or to non-affiliated companies who provide services, perform marketing or perform other functions on DDI’s behalf (such as our marketing company, auditors, and attorneys). DDI requires any third party that we contract with who receives such information to protect the confidentiality of your non public information, and to use it only for the specific purposes for which the disclosure is made.
In all cases, however, your personal information will be used only as permitted by law.
The website may contain links to websites that are not operated by DDI. DDI makes no representations about the privacy practices of these third party sites. Users should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties when providing personally identifiable information.
Security Procedures:
DDI uses administrative, technical, personnel and physical measures to safeguard personal identifying information against loss, theft and unauthorized use, disclosure or modification. However, as effective as these measures are, no security system is impenetrable. DDI cannot guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted over the Internet.
Security of Electronic Mail Messages:
Each e-mail message sent to DDI automatically contains the e-mail address of the sender. DDI does not sell e-mail addresses to third parties under any circumstances.
As stated above DDI cannot guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted over the Internet. Therefore, you should take every precaution available to you to assist in maintaining email security on your system, including, but not limited to:
Being cautious of fraudulent messages sent from an e-mail address that may pose as DDI inviting you to respond or click on a link to provide personal information; Installing and frequently updating proven anti-virus, spyware and personal firewall software to protect against viruses, spyware and unauthorized access to your computer; Only accepting or downloading software from trusted sources and never accepting files or attachments when accessing websites unless you are confident of their authenticity.
Revisions to this Policy:
DDI reserves the right to revise this Privacy Policy from time to time in its sole discretion. In the event of any such revisions, the revised version of this Privacy Policy will be posted on the Website. Any revisions will apply to any information DDI has about you, regardless of whether the information was collected before or after the Privacy Policy revision. Users should review this Privacy Policy from time to time. Your use of our Website constitutes your acceptance of this Privacy Policy.
Opting Out/Corrections/Cancellations/Questions:
Upon request, the DDI will a) remove user personal information from its database, except if needed by DDI for legal requirements; b) correct personal information that is erroneous; c) permit users to opt out of further email contact while still allowing access to the website.
