This Privacy Policy applies to the DAVIS website and governs data collection and usage. By using the DAVIS website, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.
Collection of your Personal Information
DAVIS collects personally identifiable information, such as your email address, name, home or work address or telephone number. DAVIS also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your zip code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites.
There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by DAVIS. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses. This information is used by DAVIS for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the DAVIS website.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through DAVIS public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note DAVIS does not read any of your private online communications.
DAVIS encourages you to review the privacy policies of websites you choose to link to from DAVIS so that you can understand how those websites collect, use and share your information. DAVIS is not responsible for the privacy policies or other content on websites outside of the DAVIS and DAVIS family of websites.
Use of your Personal Information
DAVIS collects and uses your personal information to operate the DAVIS website and deliver the services you have requested. DAVIS also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from DAVIS and its affiliates. DAVIS may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.
DAVIS does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. DAVIS may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (email, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, DAVIS may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to DAVIS, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
DAVIS does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your express consent.
DAVIS keeps track of the websites and pages our customers visit within DAVIS, to determine those DAVIS services that are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within DAVIS to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
DAVIS websites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on DAVIS or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of DAVIS; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of DAVIS, or the public.
Use of Cookies
The DAVIS website use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize DAVIS pages, or register with DAVIS site or services, a cookie helps DAVIS to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same DAVIS website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the DAVIS features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the DAVIS services or websites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
DAVIS endeavors to secure your personal information provided on computer servers from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Changes to this Policy
DAVIS will occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect company and customer feedback. DAVIS encourages you to periodically review this Policy to be informed of how DAVIS is protecting your information.
