1. Privacy Policy
DeafLink.com is committed to safeguarding your privacy online. Please read
the following policy to understand how your personal information will be
treated as you make full use of our many offerings. This policy may change
from time to time so please check back periodically.
2. What personally identifiable information does DeafLink.com
collect from me?
DeafLink may ask you for personal information at times, including (but not
limited to) when you make a request for information or when you report a problem
with one of our sites or services. DeafLink.com also occasionally asks users
to complete surveys that we use for internal research. Wherever DeafLink.com
collects personal information we make an effort to include a link to this Privacy
Policy on that page.
3. What are cookies and how does DeafLink.com use them?
As part of offering and providing customizable and personalized services, DeafLink.com
may use cookies to store and sometimes track your information. A cookie is
a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a Web server and
may be stored on your computer's hard drive.
At this time DeafLink.com does not use cookies.
4. Who is collecting information?
When you are on a DeafLink.com site and are asked for personal information,
you are sharing that information for use by DeafLink.com alone, unless it
is specifically stated otherwise.
Please be aware that DeafLink.com advertisers or Web sites that
have links on our site may collect personally identifiable information
about you. This privacy statement does not cover the information
practices of those Web sites linked to DeafLink.com.
5. With whom does DeafLink.com share my information?
As a general rule, DeafLink.com will not disclose any of your personally identifiable
information except when we have your permission or under special circumstances,
such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.
DeafLink.com may disclose user information in special cases when
we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary
to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who
may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally
or unintentionally) DeafLink.com's rights or property, other DeafLink.com
users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities.
6. What are my choices regarding collection, use, and distribution
of my information?
If you express interest in receiving offers or information from DeafLink.com,
we may occasionally send you e-mail or postal mail about products and services
that we feel may be of interest to you. Only DeafLink.com (or agents working
on behalf of DeafLink.com and under confidentiality agreements) will send you
these direct mailings and only if you indicated that you do not object to these
offers.
At any time you can easily unsubscribe from DeafLink.com's mailing
list and no longer receive such offers and mailings.
You also have choices with respect to cookies. By modifying your
browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies,
to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies.
If you choose to reject all cookies you will be unable to use those
DeafLink.com services that require the use of cookies in order
to participate.
DeafLink.com does not sell or rent user information to anyone.
We will notify you at the time of data collection or transfer if
your data will be shared with a third party and you will always
have the option of not permitting the transfer. If you do not wish
to allow your data to be shared, you can choose not to use a particular
service or not to participate in certain promotions or contests.
7. What security precautions are in place to protect the loss,
misuse, or alteration of my information?
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to
be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information,
DeafLink.com cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit
to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk.
Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security
on our systems.
8. What about children's privacy?
Naturally, the safety of children is very important to us. Children should
always ask a parent for permission before sending personal information to
DeafLink.com, or to anyone online for that matter. DeafLink.com does not
share personal information about users under the age of 13 with third parties
and we do not sell or rent personal information about any of our users, regardless
of age.
9. What else should I know about my privacy?
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information
online - for example on message boards, through email, or in chat areas -
that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post
personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive
unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy
of your passwords and/or any registration information. Please be
careful and responsible whenever you're online.
