Design Online is the sole owner of the registered information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. Design Online collects information from our users at several different points on our Web site.
All users are required to register in order to participate in our program. During registration a user is required to give their contact information:
- Name
- Company Name (optional)
- Address
- Telephone Number (optional)
- Email address
This information is used to contact the user about the program and services on our site for which they have expressed interest. You can "opt-in" by checking the appropriate box if you wish to receive periodic emails from either Design Online or our partners.
If a user purchases products or services through our site, we request information from the user on our order form. You are required to provide:
- Name
- Company Name (optional)
- Billing Address
- Shipping Address (if different)
- Telephone Number
- Credit card number and expiration date
This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.
Our site uses cookies. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they will not be able to log into our site, but may still use other areas of the site. Additionally, some premium areas may be limited. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site.
We use Internet Protocol ("IP") addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information of yours or your computer.
We do not provide your personally identifiable information with others without your permission, except as set forth herein. We will share aggregated demographic information only with our partners, subsidiaries that Design Online controls, and as described below:
We work closely with our affiliated businesses. In some cases, these affiliates may operate stores at Design Online or sell offerings to our users through our Web site at DesignOnline . We may provide services, operate stores, or sell services and product lines in conjunction with these tenants. Design Online will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that our users are able to tell when one of our tenants is involved in their transaction, and when we share user information related to those transactions with that tenant.
Design Online may employ other individuals or companies to perform functions on our behalf. Examples may include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and email, removing repetitive information from user lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing user service. These individuals or companies may have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
Once a month, Design Online may send offers to selected groups of users on behalf of affiliates. Should we do this, we do not give that affiliate the users name and address. Users will only receive these offers if they elected to do so during their registration. If you do not want to receive such offers, you can edit your Personal Info.
In order to comply with law enforcement or apply our Terms of Service, we may release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate. We may also release other agreements in order to protect the rights, property, or safety of DesignOnline , our users, or others. This would include sharing or exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
This Web site may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that we, DesignOnline , are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
From time to time our site requests information from users via surveys in order to learn how well our site is working and satisfying user needs. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and email address), and demographic information (such as profession, type of application, level of experience). Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
You understand and agree that "perfect" security does not exist on the Internet. When you send credit card information to us at the Site, we use a technology called Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to encrypt this information between your computer and our server. Other information you send to us at the Site, however, including any email messages, will not be encrypted unless we advise you otherwise. Design Online uses reasonable care to protect your information while in our possession, but is not responsible for loss or disclosure of that information which may happen despite our reasonable care. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Our employees must use password-protected screensavers when they leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their password to re-gain access to your information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up to date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers' information is protected.
If you have any questions about the security at our Web site, you can send an email to our Security Team.
We will periodically send the participants site and service announcement updates. Members are not able to un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain important information about the service. We communicate with the user to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account via email or phone.
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip code), the user may edit their personal information by accessing "My Account" from the navigation bar. If a user no longer desires our service, we will provide a way to correct, update or remove that user's personal data provided to us. This can be done by emailing Customer Care.
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email. 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.
