Database 2 Go Privacy Policy
In general, db2go.com does not collect, store, use or disclose personally
identifying information except in very specific instances, such as, for example,
when you enroll as an advertiser in the Services, as defined below. Whenever
we collect such information, you will have a choice regarding whether to provide
it, how it will be used, and to whom it will be disclosed. The instances in
which db2go.com does collect and use information are specifically described
in this Privacy Policy.
db2go.com provides easy to use services, including the Database Search Center
(located at www.db2go.com)(the "Services"). The Services are
made available by db2go.com and, its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively
"db2go.com"). db2go.com values its users and their concerns
about privacy. To this end, db2go.com engages in consistent information
practices and uses its best efforts to make clear disclosures regarding those
practices. This Privacy Policy is a part of that effort.
What does this Privacy Policy cover?
This Privacy Policy applies to collection, use, storage and disclosure of information
by db2go.com. If there are any exceptions, we will clearly disclose them
prior to collecting any information, and will give you an opportunity to choose
not to participate or provide the information.
Please be aware that, as part of the Services, db2go.com provides links
to Web sites operated by third parties, and also provides search results and
similar services to third parties for display on their own Web sites or applications.
db2go.com is not responsible for the information collection or privacy
practices or the content of those third party Web sites or applications. Also,
please be aware that banner ads on db2go.com are provided by a third party,
which may collect cookies as part of the process of serving those ads. These
cookies are typically used for the purpose of tracking performance of the banner
ads. db2go.com does not determine which information will be collected by
that third party. Please see the paragraph below regarding Third Party Banner
Ads.
What information does db2go.com collect and how is it used? Does db2go.com
disclose information to third parties?
db2go.com may collect any or all of the following three types of information:
(a) traffic or clickstream data, (b) cookies, or (c) contact information and
other personally identifying information. db2go.com's collection and use
of each type of data is described below, as well as the ways (if any) in which
the data may be shared with third parties.
(a) Traffic or Clickstream Data. Data about traffic and usage is not personally
identifying or identifiable, and is not supplemented or combined with personally
identifying or identifiable information. db2go.com may share information
it collects with certain selected third parties, but only in aggregated, anonymous
form. For example, we may tell an advertiser that a certain number of people
visited a certain area on our Web site, or searched Web sites for the term "fly
fishing." db2go.com collects some information regarding use of the
Services by observing browser functions and the files (pages) users access.
For example, db2go.com's servers collect information about the site from
which you entered to enable db2go.com to calculate and pay its affiliates,
information about the most frequently searched terms to help its advertisers
provide the most relevant search results, information about usage to check for
fraudulent behavior or other abnormalities and to ensure that our Services are
technically superior. In addition to the foregoing applications, db2go.com
uses the information (in aggregate form) to better design the Services.
(b) Cookies. Like many sites, db2go.com collects information about online
behavior using cookies. These cookies contain identification information that
enables us to see how our users are interacting with our site and how frequently
they are returning, as well as to streamline their experiences using the Services.
Our cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information. Cookies
lets us know about repeat visitors and if we are delivering quality products
and services. db2go.com may also use cookies to identify which sites our
repeat visitors are coming from, so that we can place more of our online advertising
on these sites, and can, where necessary, pay our affiliates and other business
partners. To db2go.com, using information within cookies is an anonymous
way to survey how we are doing and to look for ways to improve our Services.
You may set your browser software to reject cookies, but you may not be able
to use all of the features of the Services. db2go.com may share information
about usage of the Services with third parties, but only in aggregated, anonymous
form. In the course of serving advertisements to this site, our third-party
advertiser may place or recognize a unique "cookie" on your browser.
(c) Contact Information or Personally Identifying Information. db2go.com
can obtain access to your name, e-mail address and other contact information
only (1) when you become an advertiser with db2go.com, provide comments,
submit a problem, or request information from db2go.com and provide your
name or return contact information, or (2) in connection with special offers
or contests.
Contact information provided in connection with problems, comments or requests
is used only to respond to those problems, comments or requests. This information
is not stored or used in connection with traffic or clickstream data and is
provided to a third party only as necessary to respond to the comment, problem
or request.
Finally, you may choose to provide contact information, other personally identifying
information, and demographic information in order to participate in optional
surveys or contests, which are run for promotional purposes. db2go.com
uses such information to send you information about its products and to notify
you if you win the contest. Finally, from time to time, but only with your permission,
db2go.com may provide certain of its users' registration information to
selected third parties who wish to participate in special promotions offered
in conjunction with db2go.com. Users may opt-out of receiving such communications
at any time by contacting db2go.com.
Is data stored by db2go.com secure?
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate
use of information, db2go.com has put in place physical, electronic, and
managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information it collects online.
However, data security is a constantly evolving art and science. You should
consider any communication that you transmit to db2go.com (such as data,
questions or answers, comments, or suggestions) as non-confidential, and agree
that db2go.com will not be liable or responsible if information that belongs
to you is intercepted and used by an unintended recipient.
Does db2go.com collect personally identifying information from or about
children?
db2go.com uses reasonable efforts not to collect, use or disclose individually
identifiable information from children under the age of 13. The Services are
not targeted at children, and children may not register for any portions of
the Services that require registration.
Please check with those sites to determine their privacy policy.
