Digital Orchid has created this policy statement (the
"Policy") to explain our privacy practices and policies.
We will not sell or disclose your personal information to unaffiliated
third parties without your consent except as otherwise provided in this
Policy. We may use information about who you are, where and when you
browse on the Web, where your wireless device is located, and how you use
our network, all in an effort to provide you better service when you sign
up or use any of our products or services. This Policy applies to
customers who visit our Web sites and Web sites operated by us, and to
customers who purchase and use our services and products in the United
States. Collection, use, disclosure, and protection of personal
information may be subject to different regulation outside the United
States. Digital Orchid will revise and update this Policy as it deems
appropriate, including if our practices change or if changes in the law so
require. You should refer back to this page for the latest information.
PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
General
Digital Orchid collects personally
identifiable information ("Personal Information") such as your full name,
email address, mailing address or telephone number, only to create or
enhance our relationship with you. When we collect Personal Information
from you it is because you are voluntarily submitting the information to
us in order to participate in activities like sweepstakes, contests,
games, surveys, forums, subscription registrations, in connection with
content or suggestions you submit to us, chats or bulletin boards, or
because you want us to furnish you with products, services or information.
When we obtain Personal Information from a third party, we use only
reputable sources of such information.
Cookies
Cookies are small bits of information that
the Internet sites operated by Digital Orchid place on the hard drive of
your computer. Cookies remember information about your activities on our
site(s) and enable Digital Orchid to make your visits to our site(s) more
enjoyable. For example, cookies can store your password for easy logon to
a site you have previously visited, can save your preferences for a
personalized home page or can track the items you have previously
indicated as a purchase option during a visit to our site. The cookie
itself does not contain Personal Information, and Digital Orchid does not
combine cookies or similar tools with Personal Information. Third party
advertisements displayed on Internet site(s) operated by Digital Orchid
may also contain cookies. Digital Orchid does not control these advertiser
cookies and visitors to our Web site(s) should check the privacy policy of
the advertiser to see whether and how it uses cookies. On occasion,
Digital Orchid may use cookies or similar tools to relate your use of our
Web site(s) to personally identifiable information obtained from you or a
reputable third party. For example, if you've asked us to send you
information about our upcoming products or promotions, cookie and/or other
information about your online activities may allow us to limit the
materials we send you to items we know you will find interesting, based on
your prior online activities and preferences. However, if Digital Orchid
wishes to coordinate your personal and Web site activity information in
this manner, we will obtain your express prior consent (i.e., "opt in").
You can program your computer to warn you each time a cookie is being sent
or to refuse cookies completely. However, without cookies you may not have
access to certain features on Digital Orchid's Web site(s).

Information they collect from you. National Internet advertising companies
may utilize certain technologies to deliver advertisements and marketing
messages and to collect anonymous information about your visit to our
site[s], including information about the banner ads they display, any
cookie they place on your computer and your IP address. To opt out of
information collection by these companies, or to obtain information about
the technologies they use or their own privacy policies, please visit
their Web sites by clicking on their respective banners. Digital Orchid's
Web site(s) may also be linked to sites operated by companies affiliated
with Digital Orchid. Visitors to those affiliated sites should still refer
to their separate privacy policies and practices, which may differ in some
respects from this Policy.

their employees, agents and contractors; to protect the safety and
security of visitors to our Web sites; to protect against fraud or for
risk management purposes; or to comply with the law or legal process. In
