Privacy Statement Thank you for reviewing the Privacy Policy for DefenceLink.nl. DefenceLink is sensitive to the issue of confidentiality in online dealings and is committed to protecting individual privacy. This Privacy Policy is intended to inform users about the general approach DefenceLink uses in collecting, using and disseminating user information via DefenceLink.nl. What data do we collect automatically and why? When you visit DefenceLink.nl, our web server automatically recognizes your domain name, but not your e-mail address. We collect the domain name and monitor general site use and traffic patterns to improve our web site and the services we offer. DefenceLink uses web server logs to collect data for metric purposes. Examples of the types of data collected on the logs are IP addresses, referral pages, date and time of site access, and pages visited. Do we use Cookies or Tracers? Cookies are small data files placed on your hard drive by a website server when you visit. DefenceLink.nl may use cookies for tracking purposes or to make the site easier to use. Cookies are currently the only way to effectively identify a unique anonymous visitor and understand how they navigate our web site. An anonymous visitor to our site remains anonymous in all cases. We do not attempt to identify visitors if they do not voluntarily submit personal information to us. With most internet browsers, you can erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block all cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Cookies offer enhanced functionality to the user, but whether you allow a cookie to be placed on your computer is up to you! Do we collect personal information? In some cases, DefenceLink requests personally identifiable information from you in order to satisfy the underlying transaction or purpose of your accessing the site. Examples of personally identifiable information include names, e-mail addresses, mailing addresses, and the like. Please note that we do not consider aggregated information, from which personally identifiable information has been removed, to be private. What security is provided? We do treat your general interaction with DefenceLink.nl (e.g., submission of suggestions) as confidential. When would we disclose your information? We do not rent, sell, or trade any personally identifiable information about you (e.g., e-mail addresses or IP addresses) to third parties. In order to cooperate with legitimate governmental requests, subpoenas, or court orders, to protect DefenceLink and/or DefenceLink's systems and customers, or to ensure the integrity and operation of DefenceLink and/or DefenceLink's business and systems, DefenceLink may access and disclose any information it considers necessary or appropriate under the circumstances. What about children's privacy? DefenceLink asks children under 13 not to transmit any information to the site. DefenceLink welcomes the parent or guardian of a child under the age of 13 to use the site and provide any information, service, or product gained from the site to their child. What if data is transmitted internationally? If you are one of our international guests, we realize that you may want to know whether your personal information will be transferred out of your country of origin. Please be aware that when you request a transaction on DefenceLink, your personal data may be transferred to computers in outside your country of use in order to process your request. What about external links? For the convenience of our site visitors, DefenceLink may provide links to third party web sites that are external to DefenceLink. These web sites are not operated or controlled by DefenceLink, and DefenceLink is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such external web sites. How do we keep current? From time to time, DefenceLink may revise this Privacy Policy at its discretion. We note the date of the policy below, so you know when it was last updated. DefenceLink advises you to check back periodically to review the Privacy Policy because users of the site will be prospectively bound by the then-current version of this Privacy Policy. April 2006 |
