This statement of privacy practices discloses the privacy policy for DPR. It applies to websites operated by or on behalf of DPR, Inc. Please read this statement to understand the following:
What personal information is collected? When a visitor places an order on this website, this website may collect personal information about you, including name, title, company, address, email address, phone numbers and, in rare instances, other categories of personal information, such as payment card information, drivers license numbers, and date of birth.
In addition to ordering and registration, we may ask you for and collect personal information at other times, including when you enter a sweepstakes or contest; participate in a promotion or marketing campaign sponsored by DPR or one of its business partners; when you want to find out about service offered in your area or request a service; to download a digital product such as an eBook, pamphlet, video or software; when you complete surveys or other questionnaires; when you participate in a user forum or blog hosted by DPR or one of its business partners; when you send an email to DPR; when you express interest in employment with DPR; or when you engage in other activities on this website.
In addition, our web server logs collect the domain names of visitors to our web sites. This information is aggregated to measure number of visits, average time spent on this website, pages viewed and website usage information. We use this information to measure the use of our sites and to improve the content of our sites. Aggregated information is not used in such a form that would enable direct connection of any personal information to our visitors.
Who is collecting the information? When you are on this website and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information with DPR, its subsidiaries and related companies. Additionally, if you purchase a device requiring service, your personal information may be collected by a third party company working with DPR. DPR may also contract with third party companies to perform services for DPR on its website that require these companies to collect personal information (e.g. hosting a web site sweepstakes, promotion or survey, or selling software downloads and ebooks).
In addition, DPR may allow third party vendors to provide products and services directly to DPR consumers. Such relationships are designated with a “Provided By” or “Powered By” company legend or logo, or other similarly worded designation. If you desire to purchase a product or service from such third party, your personal information will be collected by the third-party company, and shared with DPR. You may review the privacy practices of the third party either by clicking the link on the bottom of the page, or by clicking on the “Provided by Company” logo, which will take you to their web site. Additionally, when you purchase or download software applications from DPR or a third-party, your personal information is shared with the software developer/licensor in order to register you as a licensed software user, and to permit them to provide you any required support. If you are concerned about the privacy policy of a certain developer or software company, you may contact them directly or visit their individual web sites.
The DPR web site may also 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 DPR 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. DPR 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.
What about cookies? When you enter our site, our server may attach a small text file to your hard drive. Your unique cookie tells us that it is you whenever you re-enter our site, so we can recall where you have previously been on our site, and what, if anything, you have in your shopping cart. Cookies help us deliver a better web site experience to our users.
We may also use cookies to measure traffic patterns, and which areas of the DPR site you have visited, and your visiting patterns. This information collected by using a cookie is sometimes called “clickstream.” We use this information to understand how our users navigate our site, and to determine common traffic patterns, including what site the user came from. We use this information to make site navigation and product recommendations, and to help redesign our site in order to make your experience on our site more efficient and enjoyable.
We may also use this information to better personalize the content, banner ads, and promotions that you and other users will see. This helps DPR deliver you the content you want when you want it, in order for you to make better purchasing decisions. DPR uses a third party to track user clickstreams.
You have choices with respect to cookies. By modifying your Internet browser preferences, you have the ability to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. Please note that, if you choose to reject all cookies you will be unable to use those services or engage in activities that require the placement of cookies.
How is my personal information used? DPR’s primary goal in collecting personal information is to facilitate order processing and to enable us to contact you if a problem arises with your order. Additionally, if you purchase a product or service from this website, your personal information may be used to process your order and/or to obtain a credit report if necessary. Such information may be required when making a purchase. This information may also be used to provide you with a customized experience on our site, which includes interactive communications, and other services. The DPR 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 shopping experience, and to provide advice and purchase recommendations. Taking part in any of these segments is always optional and voluntary.
We also use the information we collect to help target valuable marketing and advertising offers. This kind of advertising may be done with banner ads as well as promotional emails sent by DPR, or by third parties under contract with DPR. DPR may also match user information with third party data to help us better understand our customers.
DPR also conducts research on our users’ demographics, interests, and behavior based on the information provided to us when making a purchase, 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. DPR may share this aggregated data with our business partners. Finally, we may also ask for your personal information when you express an interest in employment opportunities at DPR.
With whom does DPR share my personal information? Except as outlined in this policy or on our web sites, DPR does not provide your personal information to third parties without your consent. Please note that, in special cases, we may need to share information without acquiring consent, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it, or to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our sites’ Terms of Use or may be violating DPR’s or other’s rights or causing injury to or interference with DPR’s or other’s property.
In addition, DPR shares the information you provide with DPR subsidiaries and related companies. If you purchase a product or service, your personal information is shared with the product or service provider with whom you subscribe. Additionally, if you express an interest in a product requiring a particular type of service, DPR may share your personal information with your local service provider in order to determine whether such service is available in your area.
DPR may share your personal information with third-party business partners so that they may provide services to DPR that may not be consistent with the terms of this Privacy Policy, and this web site (e.g. database management, sending targeted emails, software sales, and conducting sweepstakes and other promotions on behalf of DPR). DPR takes great pride in utilizing only reputable business partners. DPR may also, on occasion, provide personal information to third-party businesses as part of a specific product, service, or promotion.
DPR shares website usage information about visitors to our websites, who have received a targeted promotional campaign, with reputable third-party advertising companies for the purpose of targeting future campaigns and upgrading visitor information used in reporting statistics. For this purpose, we and our third-party advertising companies note some of the pages you visit on our web sites through the use of pixel tags (also called clear gifs). The information collected by our third-party advertising companies through the use of these pixel tags is not personally identifiable.
