Website Visitors
Like most website operators, DTAC 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. DTAC’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how DTAC’s visitors use its website. From time to time, DTAC may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
DTAC also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments. DTAC 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 DTAC’s website choose to interact with DTAC in ways that require DTAC to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that DTAC gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. Those who engage in transactions with DTAC are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, DTAC collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with DTAC. DTAC 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.
