Privacy and Web Security
Your privacy is important to Digital Resources. This
statement discloses the information practices for Digital
Resources Web sites, including what type of information is
gathered and tracked, how the information is used, and with
whom the information is shared.
We have implemented these practices for the Digital
Resources Home Page (www.Digital Resources.com). We have
instructed our web-masters to include information on these
privacy practices wherever personal information is
collected on a Digital Resources website
To return to the Digital Resources site, please use the

Personal information
In general, you can visit Digital Resources on the Web
without telling us who you are and without revealing any
information about yourself. There are times, however, when
we or our partners may need information from you.
You may choose to give us personal information, such as
your name and address or e-mail id that may be needed, for
example, to correspond with you, to process an order or to
provide you with a subscription. It is our intent to let
you know how we will use such information before we collect
it from you on the Internet. We provide this information
through the your PRIVACY link, which is presented wherever
personal information is collected. If you tell us that you
do not want us to use this information as a basis for
further contact with you, we will respect your wishes.
Information security and quality
We intend to protect the quality and integrity of your
personally identifiable information. We have implemented
appropriate technical and organizational measures, such as
using encryption for transmission of credit card numbers,
to help us keep your information secure, accurate, current,
and complete.
We will make a sincere effort to respond in a timely manner
to your requests to correct inaccuracies in your personal
information. To correct inaccuracies in your personal
information please return the message containing the
inaccuracies to the sender with details of the correction
requested.
Cookies, web beacons and other technologies
We sometimes collect anonymous information from visits to
our sites to help us provide better customer service. For
example, we keep track of the domains from which people
visit and we also measure visitor activity on Digital
Resources web sites, but we do so in ways that keep the
information anonymous. This anonymous information is
sometimes known as "clickstream data." Digital Resources or
its analytic vendors may use this data to analyze trends
and statistics and to help us provide better customer
service.
Also, when we collect personal data from you in connection
with a transaction we may extract some information about
that transaction in an anonymous format and combine it with
other anonymous information such as clickstream data. This
anonymous information is used and analyzed only at an
aggregate level to help us understand trends and patterns.
None of this information is reviewed at an individual
level. If you do not want your transaction details used in
this manner, you can either disable your cookies or opt-out
at the order or request page.
We collect the anonymous information we mentioned in the
previous paragraphs through the use of various
technologies, including one called "cookies". A cookie is
an element of data that a Web site can send to your
browser, which may then be stored on your system. Some
Digital Resources pages use cookies, sent by Digital
Resources or its third party vendors, or other technologies
to better serve you when you return to the site. You can
set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie,
giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. You
can also set your browser to turn off cookies. If you do
so, however, some areas of some sites may not function
properly.
Some Digital Resources Web sites also use Web beacon
technologies to better tailor those sites to provide better
customer service. These "Web beacons" are placed on a
number of pages across Digital Resources's Web sites. When
a visitor accesses these pages, an anonymous notice of that
visit is generated which may be processed by us or by our
vendors. These Web beacons work in conjunction with
cookies. If you don't want to associate your anonymous
cookie information with your visits to these pages, you can
set your browser to turn off cookies.
If you turn off cookies, web beacon technologies will still
detect anonymous visits to these pages, but the notices
they generate cannot be associated with other anonymous
cookie information and are disregarded.
For more information, please see "How to work with
Cookies".
Online advertising
Digital Resources may use certain companies who collect and
use information about customers to help us better
understand the offers, promotions, and types of advertising
that are most appealing to our customers. The information
they collect is aggregated so it is not identifiable to a
specific individual. If, however, you would prefer that
these companies not collect information from your
experience, please visit the PrivacyChoices and follow the
"opt-out" instructions.
Personalized URL link
On occasion, Digital Resources presents a personalized URL
(link) that brings the visitor to a personalized Web page.
Such a personal URL is readily identifiable and by clicking
on that link and going to a personal Web page you are
agreeing to let Digital Resources collect information about
your session visits. We use this information to help us
provide you with information that matches your interests.
If you do not wish information to be used in this way,
simply do not click on such personalized URLs.
Children's data
While few, if any, of Digital Resources's Web sites are
directed towards children, we are committed to comply with
applicable laws and requirements, such as the United
States' Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
Privacy technology
Technology will increasingly help you to have more control
over your personal information. It will also help
organizations to manage their privacy practices and
policies. As an information technology provider, Digital
Resources actively supports the development of privacy
technologies to help achieve these goals, and to help
create greater trust and confidence in the way personal
information is handled. Products and services are available
which can help give you privacy protection while navigating
the Web. See http://www.privacyalliance.org/
resources/rulesntools.shtml for an overview of many
privacy-related tools.
Please note that Digital Resources has not formally
evaluated all of these tools.
Business relationships
The Digital Resources sites may contain links to other Web
Sites.
