Duct Tape Marketing is committed to protecting the privacy of visitors
of our Web site. As such, your privacy is extremely important to us, and
we will openly communicate and disclose our privacy practices to
visitors of our site. We operate the site by the principles set forth
below. The following Duct Tape Marketing privacy statement will outline:
1. What kind of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) we collect
through our Web site;
2. How that information is collected and used;
3. With whom that information is shared, and who has access to that
information;
4. Choices available to you regarding the collection, use and
distribution of that information; and,
5. Security procedures in place to protect against the loss, misuse or
alteration of that information under our control.
Information Collection and Use
Duct Tape Marketing is the sole owner of the information collected on
this Web site. Our site collects non-personally identifiable information
about you, such as the server your computer is logged onto and your
browser type (for example, Firefox or Internet Explorer). This
information will not be sold, shared with, or rented to other parties
outside of Duct Tape Marketing, and is purged or automatically deleted
when you close your Internet browser. Duct Tape Marketing does, however,
collect "personally identifiable information", or PII (information that
can be linked to you personally) about you through the optional
enrollment in the Duct Tape Marketing newsletter.
Cookies
"Cookies" are pieces of information that a Web site transfers to your
computer's hard disk for record-keeping purposes. Cookies can make the
Web more useful by storing information about your preferences on a
particular Web site. Cookies themselves do not personally identify a
user, but they can identify a user's computer. Our site uses cookies to
track a visitor's path through the Web site. The data collected from
visitors to our site is analyzed in aggregate form to show trends and
improve the Web site for future visits. The cookies we use do not record
PII. Once you close your Internet browser, the cookie simply terminates.
Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. However, if you'd
prefer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies, although our site
may not perform at optimum levels without cookies.
Text or Log Files
A Text or Log file is a file that describes which files or Web pages a
site visitor has requested from our server(s). Like most public Web
sites, our site collects non-PII data about you when you arrive at our
site through text files and your Internet Protocol (IP) address. An IP
address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer
whenever you connect to the Internet; this number is not linked to any
PII. The number is used by network computers to identify your computer
so that data can be sent to you. Duct Tape Marketing collects IP
addresses for system administration purposes and to gather broad
demographic information about our visitors' browsing actions and
patterns for aggregate use only.
Sharing
Duct Tape Marketing will only disclose PII if required to do so by law.
With that exception, under no circumstances will we share single user or
aggregated demographic data with our partners without explicit consent
of our users.
Security
We have taken every precaution to ensure the protection of your
information on our site. When you submit sensitive information to Duct
Tape Marketing via our Web site, that information is protected both
online and offline.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we
also do everything in our power to protect user information off-line.
All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information
mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need
the information to perform a specific job are granted access to any PII
If you have any questions about the security at our Web site, please
e-mail us at
john@ducttapemarketing.com
Notification of Changes: If we decide to change our privacy policy, we
will post those changes on our home page at
www.ducttapemarketing.com
so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use
it and under what circumstances, if any, we will disclose it. If at any
point we decide to use PII in a manner different from that stated at the
time it was collected, we will notify users by e-mail. Users will have a
choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different
manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy
under which the information was collected.
