DataPoint respects the privacy of its Users. The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to explain the types of information DataPoint obtains about User, how the information is obtained, how it is used, how it may be disclosed to others, and how User may restrict its use or disclosure. DataPoint reserves the right to revise this Privacy Policy from time to time if it revises its practices regarding the collection or use of other information obtained from User in the future.
The only personally identifiable information DataPoint obtains about individual Users through DataPoint Services is information supplied voluntarily by User. User may provide DataPoint with name, address, telephone number, billing information, email address, domain name or URL or other personally identifiable information that DataPoint may use for its own business purposes. DataPoint may share such information with its partners which perform certain services for DataPoint, and such partners shall have access to User information to the extent needed to perform their services or as necessary to advance DataPoint’s business purposes, including the purpose of contacting User about new products and services, which may be of specific interest to User. However, our partners may not use such User information for any other purpose.
DataPoint does collect some non-personally identifiable generic information about User as a means of measuring the effectiveness of DataPoint Services. DataPoint servers monitor and identify certain User information in the normal course of operation. We collect this information only in the aggregate and use it to evaluate and improve DataPoint Services and to provide targeted information that may be of interest to User. The following are examples of non-personally identifiable generic information.
An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to User's computer whenever User is using the Internet. Web site servers can automatically identify individual computers by their IP address. DataPoint collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to report aggregate information. DataPoint does not intentionally link IP addresses to any personally identifiable information.
Cookies are pieces of information that are used for record-keeping purposes. Cookies allow DataPoint to save certain information about User, such as a password or individual preferences, in order to facilitate and enhance User's future activities with DataPoint Services. DataPoint will not use cookies to retrieve information from User's computer that was not originally sent in a cookie. Except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy, DataPoint shall not use information transferred through cookies for any promotional or marketing purposes and shall not share that information with any third parties for any reason.
Settings, technical and other information from User’s computer, such as User’s operating system, browser version, connectivity, various communication parameters and other information related to the operation and interaction of DataPoint Services may be collected by DataPoint. Except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy, DataPoint will use such information solely in order to provide technically appropriate formatting of information provided by DataPoint and access to DataPoint Services. The collection of this information will not include any personally identifiable information about User.
Should User not wish to receive further contacts from DataPoint, User should send a written request that DataPoint not contact User. Please send the written request by U.S. mail in an envelope clearly marked "Privacy-Urgent" to:
