1. Information About Visitors to DJ Times Web Sites
DJ Times keeps track of DJ Times Web Sites, and pages our visitors view within DJ Times Web Sites, to enable DJ Times to determine what sites and services are the most popular. This data can be used to deliver customized content and advertising to DJ Times’s customers and other visitors to DJ Times Web Sites whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a specific subject area. DJ Times’s service may automatically gather certain usage information like the numbers and frequency of visitors to DJ Times Web Sites and its pages, and DJ Times will only use information gathered in this manner in the aggregate to enable DJ Times to improve and better design DJ Times Web Sites.
To facilitate the above, DJ Times Web sites may use a technology called “cookies” – small files attached to your Web browser – which tell DJ Times how and when pages in DJ Times Web Sites are visited, and by how many people. DJ Times’s cookies do not collect personally identifiable information and do not combine information collected through cookies with other personally identifiable information, so users remain anonymous. DJ Times may also provide statistical “ratings” information in the aggregate (and never about individual users personally) to DJ Times’s partners about how visitors, collectively, use DJ Times Web sites.
2. Use of Cookies
Some DJ Times Web Sites may use “cookies” to personalize users’ online experience. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to users’ computers. Cookies are uniquely assigned to individual users, and can only be read by a Web server in the domain that issued such cookies.
Among the primary purposes of cookies is to indicate to DJ Times’s Web server that a particular user has returned to a specific page and enables DJ Times’s Web servers to “remember” such users from prior visits – including any preferences such users may have established during such prior visits. This simplifies the process of recording personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, etc. When a visitor returns to the same DJ Times Web site, the information previously provided can be retrieved, so that such visitor can easily use DJ Times Web Sites’ features previously customized.
Users have the ability and the right to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but users may be able to modify their browser settings to decline cookies or purchase third-party programs that provide such functionality. If a user chooses to decline cookies, such user may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of DJ Times Web Sites visited.
3. Use of Third Party Advertising
DJ Times sometimes enters contracts to provide space on DJ Times Web Sites to third-parties including advertisers. DJ Times will never reveal users’ Personal Data (as hereinafter defined) or data about a user’s specific visits to DJ Times Web Sites to such third-parties. DJ Times reserves the right to provide information to such third-parties about visitors to DJ Times Web Sites in the aggregate, absent any personally-identifying information.
4. Information About You
DJ Times may request specific information about a user when such user signs up to use a service or orders a product or other information through DJ Times Web Sites. DJ Times does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. DJ Times does, however, require specific information to enable provisioning of such service or product, to bill for the same, and to enable DJ Times to properly credit and maintain users’ accounts. Such information typically includes, but may not be limited to, name, age, Internet address or screen name, billing address, type of computer, phone number, credit card number, and other information of a personally-identifying and financial nature (collectively “Personal Data”). To the extent permitted by law and notwithstanding anything herein or in either the Terms of Use or Acceptable Use Guidelines to the contrary, DJ Times reserves the right to use such Personal Data to inform users of additional products and services which DJ Times believes they might be interested in learning about. In the event DJ Times exercises this right, users can opt not to receive such information by letting DJ Times know on the registration screen when signing up for the product or service or through such other mechanism as DJ Times shall make available. DJ Times may ask users to identify their interests to enable DJ Times to enrich users’ online experience; users may choose to respond or not. Additionally, DJ Times may offer users an opportunity to be listed in a directory on one of DJ Times-branded services; such listings are also optional and users can edit or delete their listing information at their discretion.
DJ Times takes all reasonable precautions to prevent unauthorized or illegal correlation of any user-sensitive data, such as Personal Data, race, religion, political affiliation, or sexual orientation, with personally identifiable data.
5. Security of Users’ Personal Information & Personal Data
DJ Times secures users’ Personal Data and other personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure, and secures such information we receive from them on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Personal Data and other personal information is transmitted to other computer or Web sites, if at all, through the use of Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encrypted protection whenever possible.
6. Third Party Disclosure
DJ Times does not use or disclose information about users’ individual visits to DJ Times Web Sites or personal data that they may provide DJ Times, such as name, address, email address or telephone number, to any un-affiliated companies. DJ Times may share with our DJ Times Web Site partners aggregated ratings information about access to and use of DJ Times Web Sites, however, and DJ Times may utilize the services of trusted partners to assist in such statistical analysis. All such third parties are prohibited from using users’ personal information except to provide such services to DJ Times, and are required to maintain the confidentiality of users’ information.
DJ Times never discloses personal information (including Personal Data) without notice to the owner of such information unless required to do so (i) by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with the law and legal process, (ii) in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to protect the safety of DJ Times Web Sites user or other DJ Times customer or the public generally, or (iii) in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to protect and defend the rights of DJ Times, its affiliates and subsidiaries.
