How We Gather
Information From Users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting, the
activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided. For
each visitor to our web page, our web server automatically recognizes domain
name and hosting name of the visitor. The information we collect is used to
improve the content of our web page and/or to customize the content and/or layout
of our page for each individual visitor. For example, we may log the name of
your Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognize you and
hold information from your visit. Among other things, the cookie may store your
user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information
each time you visit. As technology upgrades are made, we may also gather information
through other means. In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with
information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies,
but if you do you may be unable to access certain portions of the site or may
be asked to re-enter your user name and password, and we may not be able to
customize the site’s features according to your preferences.
What We Do with the Information We Collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit and
deliver more individualized content and advertising. We respect your privacy
and do not share your information with anyone. Aggregated information (information
that does not personally identify you) may be used in many ways. For example,
we may combine information about your usage patterns with similar information
obtained from other users to help enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn
which pages are visited most or what features are most attractive). Aggregated
information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business partners.
Again, this information does not include any personally identifiable information
about you or allow anyone to identify you individually. Personally identifiable
information collected by DENIMSProfessionals.com may also be used for other
purposes, including but not limited to site administration, troubleshooting,
contests, and other communications with you. Certain third parties who provide
technical support for the operation of our site (our Web hosting service for
example) may access such information. We will use your information only as permitted
by law. In addition, from time to time as we continue to develop our business,
we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In such
transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets. We may also
disclose your information in response to a court order, at other times when
we believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in connection with the
collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement authorities
whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide
you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated Sites, Linked Sites and Advertisements
DENIMSProfessionals.com expects its partners, advertisers and affiliates to
respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third parties, including
our partners, advertisers, affiliates and other content providers accessible
through our site, may have their own privacy and data collection policies and
practices. For example, during your visit to our site you may link to, or view
as part of a frame on a DENIMSProfessionals.com page, certain content that is
actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through DENIMSProfessionals.com
you may be introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites, features,
contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties. DENIMSProfessionals.com is
not responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties. You should
check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties when providing
information on a feature or page operated by a third party. While on our site,
our advertisers, promotional partners or other third parties may use cookies
or other technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences or retrieve
information about you. For example, some of our advertising is served by third
parties and may include cookies that enable the advertiser to determine whether
you have seen a particular advertisement before. Other features available on
our site may offer services operated by third parties and may use cookies or
other technology to gather information. DENIMSProfessionals.com does not control
the use of this technology by third parties or the resulting information, and
is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.
