The following is the
privacy policy and disclaimer for
Diversified Design Services and affiliated sites, including but not
limited to:
We make reasonable
attempts to keep strictly confidential any and all information collected at
these sites.
We do not sell, use, rent,
loan, or otherwise disclose your personal information.
Any information you give
to Diversified Design Services and/or affiliated sites will be held with
care, and will not be used in ways that you have not consented to.
A more detailed
explanation about how we safeguard your personal information is given below.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to let us know.
Resale
or disclosure of information to third parties:
Diversified Design Services and affiliated sites do not sell,
rent, loan, trade, or lease any personal information collected at the sites,
including membership forms or email lists.
Security:
Diversified Design Services and affiliated sites use the utmost precautions
in handling private data. Personal data is treated in a secure manner, and
(if retained) is stored in secure servers.
Browser
information collected on the website:
Diversified Design Services analyzes logs from the servers here to
constantly improve the service of our site, and for security reasons. Our
website logs do not contain personal information such as name, address, etc,
but do contain information such as IP address and time of day. Except in the
case of cooperation with law-enforcement and other authorities, we make no
attempt to link them with the individuals that actually browse the site.
E-mail
lists:
Diversified Design Services and its affiliated sites may maintain e-mail
lists to inform users of the site(s) about important news, and for
entertainment purposes. Individuals must affirmatively ask to join our
mailing lists by contacting the auto-subscriber(s) via e-mail FROM THE
ADDRESS AT WHICH THEY WISH TO RECEIVE E-MAIL.
We do not sell, rent, loan, trade, or lease the addresses on our lists to
anyone. In addition, we configure our list server software to refuse to
divulge the e-mail addresses of our list subscribers to anyone but
authorized Diversified Design Services staff, including other list
subscribers.
Members of any list can un-subscribe automatically, by following the
instructions he/she received when subscribing to the list. Additionally,
membership in any list can be revoked at any time, at the discretion of
Diversified Design Services staff.
Privacy
of e-mail:
Diversified Design Services operates e-mail servers for the purpose of
receiving mail for our affiliate sites, as well as for receiving and
re-distributing personal mail for several of our users. Sending e-mail to
Diversified Design Services or affiliated sites is strictly voluntary on the
part of the sender. The sender should recognize that any e-mail sent TO
Diversified Design Services may be treated as a testimonial, or otherwise
released to outside parties. In addition, because conventional wisdom
indicates that no form of electronic communication is perfectly secure, the
user is reminded of the adage:
"If you wouldn't write it in a letter,
sign it, and post it in the town square, don't write it in electronic form."
We do, however, follow what we believe to be reasonable practices to keep
e-mail for our (non-staff) users private, and do not deliberately release
our users' personal e-mail to third parties, except law-enforcement
officials. (See the rule-of-thumb above.)
Privacy
of data entered on forms:
Diversified Design Services and its affiliated sites collect information on
forms concerning user opinions about the sites and about shareware products
we distribute. Entering data on the forms is optional (voluntary), and is
done at the user's consent. We take reasonable precautions to keep the
data secure, but may reveal this information (in the form of user
testimonials) to other parties for promotional purposes. The user should be
aware of this, and use reasonable discretion in statements that they make in
any form of electronic communication. Conventional wisdom indicates that no
form of electronic communication is perfectly secure. The user is again
reminded of the adage:
"If you wouldn't write it in a letter,
sign it, and post it in the town square, don't write it in electronic form."
