DSC 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 DSC Web
site and governs data collection and usage. By using the DSC
website, you consent to the data practices described in this
statement.
Collection of your Personal Information
DSC collects personally identifiable information, such as your
e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. DSC
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 DSC. This information can
include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times
and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by DSC
for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the
service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the DSC
Web site.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally
identifiable information or personally sensitive data through DSC
public message boards, this information may be collected and used by
others. Note: DSC does not read any of your private online
communications.
DSC encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you
choose to link to from DSC so that you can understand how those Web
sites collect, use and share your information. DSC is not
responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites
outside of the DSC and DSC family of Web sites.
Use of your Personal Information
DSC collects and uses your personal information to operate the DSC
Web site and deliver the services you have requested. DSC also uses
your personally identifiable information to inform you of other
products or services available from DSC and its affiliates. DSC may
also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion
of current services or of potential new services that may be
offered.
DSC does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third
parties. DSC 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, DSC 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 DSC,
and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your
information.
DSC does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as
race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit
consent.
DSC keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit
within DSC, in order to determine what DSC services are the most
popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and
advertising within DSC to customers whose behavior indicates that
they are interested in a particular subject area.
DSC 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 DSC or the site; (b)
protect and defend the rights or property of DSC; and, (c) act under
exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of
DSC, or the public.
Use of Cookies
The DSC 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 DSC pages, or register with DSC site or services, a
cookie helps DSC 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 DSC Web site, the information you
previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the DSC
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 DSC services or Web sites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
DSC secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use
or disclosure. DSC 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
DSC will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect
company and customer feedback. DSC encourages you to periodically
review this Statement to be informed of how DSC is protecting your
information.
