Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to us. At DK International Associates (DKIA) we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:

• We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
• We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
• We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of our site.

It is DKIA’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, DKIA collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. DKIA’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how DKIA’s visitors use its website. From time to time, DKIA may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

DKIA also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. DKIA only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to DKIA’s websites choose to interact with DKIA in ways that require DKIA to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that DKIA gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we may ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. Those who wish to receive DKIA updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, DKIA collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with DKIA. DKIA does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

DKIA may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, DKIA may monitor the most popular pages on the scottc134.sg-host.com site or use spam screened by a third-party service to help identify spam. DKIA may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, DKIA does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

DKIA discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on DKIA’s behalf or to provide services available at DKIA’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using DKIA’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. DKIA will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, DKIA discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when DKIA believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of DKIA, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an DKIA website and have supplied your email address, DKIA may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with DKIA and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. DKIA takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. DKIA uses cookies to help DKIA identify and track visitors, their usage of DKIA website, and their website access preferences. DKIA visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using DKIA’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of DKIA’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Business Transfers

If DKIA, or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that DKIA goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of DKIA may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Ads

Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by DKIA and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Comments

Comments and other content submitted to a third-party anti-spam service are not saved on our servers unless they were marked as false positives, in which case we store them long enough to use them to improve the service to avoid future false positives.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, DKIA may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in DKIA’s sole discretion. DKIA encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
