Diginaut's Privacy policy

Diginaut is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience on our website. This policy outlines our personal information handling practices for both online and offline data. If you give us personal information, we will treat it according to this policy.

This policy covers the Diginaut's websites and is applicable worldwide. Some of our subsidiaries or programs may have their own, possibly different, policies (see lists at right). We encourage you to read this privacy policy and those of all websites you visit.

Collection of your personal information

When Diginaut collects any personal information on our websites, we will express our need for the personal data at the point of collection. Some of the reasons why we collect your personal information include:

• Participation in discussion groups
• Registration to membership programs
• Newsletter subscriptions
• provide registered users a more personalized and meaningful experience on the our websites.

Uses of your personal information

We will only use your personal information in the way we specified when it was collected. We will not subsequently change the way your personal information is used without your consent.

Updating your personal information

We need your help in keeping the personal information you have shared with us accurate and up to date. Please notify us of any changes to your personal information.

Unsubscribing

Each email newsletter includes instructions on how you can unsubscribe from that particular mailing.

Non-personal information collection

In some instances, we may collect non-personal (aggregate or demographic) data through cookies, web logs, and web beacons. This information is used to better understand and improve the usability, performance and effectiveness of our websites.

Sharing your personal information

We do not sell, give away or rent your personal information to third-parties for marketing purposes unless you have granted us permission to do so.

We may share your personal information within Diginaut or any of our worldwide subsidiaries for purposes of data processing or storage.

We may also share your personal information with authorized third-party agents or contractors in order to provide a requested service or transaction. For example, if we need to ship something to you, we must share your name and address with a shipping company. We only provide third-party agents with the minimum amount of personal information necessary to complete the requested service or transaction.

We may respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process by disclosing your personal information and other related information, if necessary. We also may choose to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.

We may collect and possibly share personal information and any other additional information available to us in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Diginaut's terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.

We will ask you for your opt-in consent to share your personal information with a third party for any other reason.

Personalization

We may customize websites or newsletters for certain users based on the information they previously provided or that was collected through our websites in order to enhance the overall web experience.

Security of your personal information

We are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. We utilize a combination of security technologies, procedures, and organizational measures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.

When we transfer sensitive personal data (for example, credit card information) over the Internet, we protect it using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology.

While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure the security of the information you transmit.

We recommend you to take every precaution in protecting your personal information when you are on the Internet. For example, change your passwords often, use a combination of letters and numbers when creating passwords, and make sure you use a secure browser.

Data retention

We will not retain your personal information longer than is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by applicable laws or regulations.

Linked websites

Our websites may provide links to other third-party websites which are outside our control and not covered by this policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies posted on these (and all) sites.

Newsgroups/Forums

Our newsgroups and forums are public. Please consider this before posting material to them.

Children's Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information on a child under the age of 13, we will delete that data from our systems. We encourage parents and guardians to go online with their children. Here are a few tips to help make a child's online experience safer:

• Teach children never to give personal information (such as name, address, phone number, school, etc.) unless supervised by a parent or responsible adult.
• Know the sites your children are visiting and which sites are appropriate.
• Look for website privacy policies. Know how your child's information is treated.
