Overall privacy statement
At CDIGIX, we take your privacy seriously. Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we want to help you understand the terms and conditions surrounding the collection and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses the types of information we gather, how we use it, and how to correct or change it. These privacy practices apply to the Web site and associated digital media service that you were using when you clicked through to this policy.
1. What information does CDIGIX collect?
Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with the best and most useful content and services. Several of the services and features that we offer on our sites require you to provide us with information as a condition of usage. These include access to subscription-only areas, including our CLABS service, and related services that we may offer at a future date. We store your email address in order to verify your eligibility to access our services. In addition, we may collect personally identifiable information, such as your name, email address, postal address, phone number and credit card information when you provide it to us. From time to time, we may also collect other sensitive information such as your class year, gender, username and password. We may also receive information about you from other sources and add it to the information you provided to us. Once you register with one of our CDIGIX sites you are no longer anonymous to us.
2. What is CDIGIX practice regarding cookies?
Your Internet browser has a feature called cookies, which stores small amounts of data on your computer about your visit to any of our sites. You will need to have cookies turned on to visit our sites and use our services. Cookies alone tell us nothing about who you are unless you specifically give us personally identifiable information, in which case we use the information to enhance your services in the ways described below. We also use technologies, including electronic images known as Web bugs—sometimes called transparent GIFs, clear GIFs, or beacons—that allow us to track general user-traffic patterns. We also automatically receive and record information from our servers and from your browser, including your IP address, the time of your visit to pages on our site, and information about pages you visited. We use cookies and tracking technologies in a variety of ways, including:
• Keeping count of return visits to our site or our advertisers' or partners' sites • Accumulating and reporting anonymous, aggregate (data collected in mass), statistical information on Web-site and advertisement usage • Determining which features our overall user population likes best • Saving your password so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit our sites • Displaying the most appropriate advertising or content based on your interests
We allow other companies that are presenting advertisements on our sites and, sometimes, in our newsletters to use tracking technology on your computer. We do not give any personally identifiable information to them as part of this relationship. Unless you visit the Web site of these companies and provide them with personally identifiable information about yourself, these tracking technologies tell those advertisers nothing about who you are. Our advertisers' use of tracking technology is subject to their own privacy policies. 3. How does CDIGIX use the information?
We use the information we gather for four general purposes:
