Privacy Policy

DPC has adopted this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy.

Collection and Use of Personally Identifiable Information
DPC collects certain personally identifiable information ("PII") when you register with DPC, submit comments for bulletin board services, chat areas, news groups, forums, communities and/or message or communication facilities ("Forum"), create a public profile, subscribe to receive emails or other notices from us, make a contribution through the Website, or otherwise submit PII to us. Specifically, we may collect the following personal information: your name, email address, telephone numbers, and other demographic information (like zip code, age, postal address, gender, birth date, mobile number, activities, interests, user behavior, education, income level or your method of payment). This information enables us to better tailor our content to your needs and to help us, our partners and affiliates promote and sell products and services.

We use the PII information to process your requests or contributions, or to send you information or material for which you have subscribed or which we think you will enjoy. We also use the PII to assess and improve our services. We will not share any personal credit card or other financial information associated with an individual with any third party, except as necessary to facilitate or process a financial transaction or comply with a legal obligation. We may hire third-party vendors to provide specialized services such as customer support; email message deployment; suppression, merge and de-duplication services; data processing; and special products or services that you have requested. We reserve the right to provide any successor in interest with our subscriber and user databases. We may share your name, email address, physical address and other demographic information with partners, affiliates or entities with which we share common interests or perspectives in order to provide you with a better experience, to improve the quality of our service, and to send you information about products or services that may be of interest to you.

To the extent the information you provide to us includes a wireless device, your provision of such information represents your agreement to be contacted on that device by email and text (SMS) message, and your receipt of notice that your wireless provider may charge you in connection with receipt of incoming calls or messages. You may revoke authorization to be contacted by such means at any time (see the Edits/Opt Out Options section below). If you would like to receive telemarketing or other voice offers on such device CLICK HERE to opt in.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information
We collect the IP address of our Users and use that data to gather broad demographic information about our Users. We also may use cookies to enhance your experience with our website. "Cookies" are small files containing a string of characters that uniquely identify your browser. We may use this data to tailor our Users’ experiences, showing them content that we think they might be interested in, and displaying the content according to their preferences. We may share demographic information with our members, supporters, partners and affiliates on an aggregate basis. This information does not relate to a single identifiable User or identify you personally. It tells such things as how many users visited our Website, clicked on a particular advertisement, searched for a particular term and the pages accessed. If you have set your computer to reject cookies you can still browse our Website anonymously until such time as you wish to register for an offer or service.

Like most Websites, we use log files. Log files include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and the number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the Website, track user movement in the aggregate and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.

Pages on our Website may contain "web beacons" (also known as internet tags, pixel tags and clear GIFs). Web beacons allow third parties to obtain information such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the beacon appears, the URL of the page on which the beacon appears, the time the page containing the beacon was viewed, the type of browser used to view the page, and information in cookies set by the third party. We use log files to store the data that is collected through web beacons.

DPC may present links in a format that enables us to keep track of whether these links have been followed. We use this information to improve the quality of our technology, customized content and advertising. We also use this information to determine levels of revenue sharing between us and our partners and affiliates.

Public Forums
DPC may make chat rooms, forums, message boards, and/or interest groups available to its users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information. We urge you to exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information in that context. The DPC Privacy Policy does not apply to any personally identifiable information you disclose in those public forums.

Security
DPC takes precautions to protect the security of your personal information and to ensure that your choices for its intended use are honored. These precautions help protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, we cannot guarantee the total security of that PII, or that we will be immune from hacking incidents or security breaches.

Edits/Opt-Out Options
DPC gives users the option to edit the personal information you have already given us and/or to remove your name from our roster, or unsubscribe from any email lists or notices. Users also may opt-out of receiving future mailings from DPC. You may exercise your option to not receive any future communications from us by clicking here. You should note that unsubscribing from this Website’s electronic mailings or notices will not automatically unsubscribe you from any third-party communications you have authorized under this agreement.

Notice to Parents
DPC does not knowingly collect or seek personal information from persons under the age of 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal information from a User under the age of 13, we will delete the information from our records. We encourage parents to talk to their children about safe and responsible use of their Personal Information while using the Internet.

Amendments
DPC reserves the right to change its Privacy Policy at any time, by posting amended terms on this web site. Use of this Website after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the amended terms and conditions. We reserve the right to apply the amended terms to the information we have already collected, subject to any legal constraints. You should read and review this page regularly to see if there have been any changes.

Partner, Affiliate and Third Party Offers
In the event that we contract with a third party or one of our partners or affiliates to provide some or part of the information or service that you have requested, we may provide your information to such partner, affiliate or third party, or such partner, affiliate or third party may collect information from you on our behalf. By registering at this Website, you agree that this act constitutes an inquiry and/or application for purposes of telemarketing laws, and notwithstanding that your telephone and/or cell number may be listed with the federal Do-Not-Call Registry you expressly opt-in to: (a) receive an offer or service from one or more of our partners or affiliates; (b) receive future information about products and services from us, our partners, affiliates and other third parties to whom we may provide your information; (c) permit us, our partners, affiliates and other third parties to contact you pursuant to the business relationship we have established using the information you provided to us for any purpose such as contacting you by e-mail address, phone and/or mobile phone number (including use of automated dialing equipment), text (SMS) message or any means of communication for any purpose that, among other things, your wireless device may be capable of receiving (e.g. mms, video etc. ). You may revoke authorization for us to contact you by such means at any time (see the Edits/Opt Out Options section above).

Global Data Processing
The information that we collect from you may be transferred to, stored at and processed at a destination outside of the U.S. By submitting your personal information, you agree to this transfer, storage and processing. Where the privacy laws of these countries are not as comprehensive as those in the U.S., we will take steps to ensure that your privacy rights are respected.

Changes in Corporate Structure
