PRIVACY POLICY
General
This Privacy Policy, together with the Terms of Use above, sets forth the general rules and policies governing your use of the Davis Technologies LLC. website, as well as other transactions with us, such as in connection with our payment of contingency award claims. This Privacy Policy is the sole statement with respect to our privacy practices. Depending on your activities when visiting our website, or the circumstances of your transactions with us, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions.
We generally keep this Privacy Policy posted on our website and you should review it frequently, as it may change from time to time without notice. Any changes will be effective immediately upon the posting of the revised Privacy Policy. WHEN YOU ACCESS OUR WEBSITE, OR OTHERWISE TRANSACT BUSINESS WITH US, YOU AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY, OR TO ANY CHANGES WE MAY SUBSEQUENTLY MAKE, IMMEDIATELY STOP ACCESSING OUR WEBSITE AND CEASE TRANSACTING BUSINESS WITH US.
Collection and Use of Information
We collect two kinds of information: (a) information that can be used to identify or contact a single person; and (b) information that does not personally identify a single person, which we automatically collect when people visit our website or that you provide us.
Personally Identifiable Information
As a general policy, we do not automatically collect personally identifiable information when you visit our website. In certain circumstances, we may request, allow or otherwise provide you an opportunity to submit your personally identifiable information in connection with a feature, program, promotion, purchase or some other aspect of our website. Davis Technologies may share this personal information with its affiliates and use it consistent with this Privacy Policy. Davis Technologies and Davis Technologies’ affiliates may also combine it with other information to provide and improve our products, services, content, and advertising. You are not required to provide the personal information that we have requested, but, if you chose not to do so, in some cases we will not be able to provide you with our products or services or respond to any queries you may have.
Below are some examples of the types of personal information Davis Technologies may collect and how we may use it
- You may provide your name, mail/shipping address, email address, contact preferences, credit card number and phone number (or someone else’s name, address, e-mail, or phone number when buying and sending product to them) when, for example, using our online store or in connection with a contest entry.
- You may provide certain demographic information about yourself (e.g., age, gender, purchase preference, usage frequency, etc.) when participating in a survey, poll or joining a forum.
- You may post a general comment or recommendation on our website.
Certain information may not be personally identifiable when standing alone (e.g., your age), but may become so when combined with other information (e.g., your age and name). Whether or not you provide this information is your choice; however, in many instances this type of information is required to participate in the particular activity, receive a benefit we may offer, or gain access to certain content on our website.
In the case of contingency award claims, we are required to collect your Social Security or Federal tax ID number and to obtain a completed Form W-9. We use this information to process your request, order or award, and to contact you with any questions about your request, order, or award. For security reasons, we do not recommend that you send non-public personal information, such as passwords, social security numbers, or bank account information, to us by email.
Davis Technologies will use your personal information as necessary to process your transactions with us. We may use your personal information to later contact you for a variety of reasons, such as customer service, providing you promotional information for our products or upcoming events, or to communicate with you about content or other information you have posted or shared with us via our website. You may “opt out” of receiving future commercial and promotional email communications from us by clicking the “unsubscribe” link included at the bottom of most emails we send, or, if you have an account with us, updating your preferences; provided, however, we reserve the right to send you transactional emails such as customer service communications.
We also use personal information to help us create, develop, operate, deliver, and improve our products, services, content and advertising, and for loss prevention and anti-fraud purposes.
We may also use personal information for internal purposes such as auditing, data analysis, and research to improve Davis Technologies’ products, services, and customer communications.
If you enter into a sweepstake, contest, or similar promotion we may use the information you provide to administer those programs.
