A. The Types of Personal Information We Collect From You via This Website
When you browse this Website we do not collect personal information about you unless you provide it to us. This means that, unless you register with this Website, we will not know your name, your email address, or any other personally identifying information about you just because you browse this Website.
When you submit a request for information from us, we collect the personal information you choose to submit to us in the context of your request for information. While you can choose not to provide us with any personal information, or with limited personal information, as part of your request for information from us, if you do so we may not be in a position to respond to your request for information.
You do not have to create an account in order to use or access the Website. However, if you wish to create an account to use or access the features of the Website available only to registered users, you will be required to provide certain personal information, including your age, gender and email address, and you will be required to create a username and a password (collectively, “Registration Information”), which are used to protect your account from unauthorized access. When you submit this Registration Information, we collect and store the personal information you submit to us in the context of registration.
Please note that certain personal information you visit this Website may be processed or provided by third parties under contract with us. When your personal information is submitted to these third parties, we require those third parties to exercise reasonable care to protect your personal information and restrict the use of your personal information to the purposes for which it was provided.

B. How We Use Personal Information We Collect From You Via This Website
1. Internal Use
We may use your personal information for various internal purposes, including, but not limited to, responding to your requests for information and notifying you of special promotions, offers and events via e-mail. We may also use your personal information for non-marketing purposes such as conducting statistical or demographic analysis. We may also combine personal information you submit to us with other generally or publicly available information to help us identify your preferences or interests or to help us match e-mail addresses with postal addresses.
If you do not want us to use your personal information for marketing purposes, you may opt-out of such uses by notifying us in accordance with Section D of this Policy. Please note that opting-out will not prevent your personal information from being used for non-marketing purposes.
2. Sharing Your Personal information with Third Parties
We may provide personal information about you to third party service providers that are not affiliated with us and who perform services for us or on our behalf. Examples of these services may include, without limitation, gathering information, communicating with you, and/or other marketing services.
C. Security Measures We Take to Protect Your Personal Information
We have implemented technical, administrative, and physical security measures in an effort to safeguard the privacy of your personal information from unauthorized access or improper use. From time to time, D2D will review our security procedures in order to consider appropriate new technology and methods to enhance our security procedures as new technology becomes available. However, you acknowledge and agree that despite our best efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and your personal information may still be accessed and used by others without authorization in the event of a security breach.
