This Privacy Policy applies to the Digital Anglers LLC (“DA”) family of web sites.
DA cares about your privacy. When you visit the DA web sites, the information you
provide to us will be handled according to the standards outlined below.
Information Collection and Use
Purchases
If you purchase a product or service from us, we request certain personally identifiable
information from you during the purchase process. You must provide contact information
(such as name, phone number, and address) and billing information (such as a credit card
number and expiration date) in order to complete a purchase.
We use the information we collect during the purchase process for billing purposes, to
fill your orders, for administrative, analytical, correspondence, and operational purposes,
to customize advertisements and offers and for other marketing purposes, and for other purposes
discussed in this privacy policy. If we have trouble processing an order, we will use this
information to contact you.
Contests & Surveys
We may occasionally offer users the opportunity to participate in surveys or contests on our web site.
If we have your e-mail address, we may also send you surveys or contest invitations by e-mail. We may
have your e-mail address if:
- You have made a purchase on our web site and provided your e-mail address during the purchase process
- You have a forum account and provided your e-mail address either during the registration process or when updating your account information
- We have received your e-mail address by any other means
If you choose to participate in a contest or survey, we may request certain personally
identifiable information from you. This information may include contact information
(such as name, e-mail address, phone number, and shipping address) and optional
demographic information (such as your age and gender).
Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore
have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. We may use this information
to administer the contest or survey (e.g., notify contest winners, award prizes, and
update participant’s profiles). We may also use this information to improve the web
site experience for our customers, to improve our product or service offerings, or
for other internal business uses.
We may use third party service providers to conduct these surveys or contests. These
companies are prohibited from using our users’ personally identifiable information
for any other purpose. These third parties are bound by contract to DA to use adequate
security measures to protect your personal information.
Forward-to-a-Friend and Refer-a-Friend
You may use a referral feature (either on a web page, in an e-mail, from a banner ad
or other communication) to inform a friend about a DA web page or promotion. DA may
use any e-mail address provided when using this referral feature to send an e-mail
on your behalf to such designated recipients about the particular promotion, product,
or service in which you indicated your "friend" may have an interest.
Non Personally Identifiable Information We Collect
In some cases, DA may collect information about you that is not personally identifiable.
Examples of this type of information include, but are not limited to the frequency of
your use of this web site and the route by which you choose to access it, and your use
of any hyperlinks available on this web site. We and our service providers or agents may
process and use this data for purposes including, but not limited to planning web site
development, assessing patterns of use, planning and assessing marketing initiatives by
DA. This information is gathered by certain tools and methods such as the collection of
your IP address or the use of cookies.
IP Addresses
We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer our web
sites, and for other purposes discussed in this privacy policy. We do not link IP addresses
to personally identifiable information except for fraud prevention.
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user's computer for record-keeping
purposes. We use cookies on all DA affiliated web sites and emails covered by this
Privacy Policy. We may store certain personally identifiable information you submit
while on our web sites in persistent cookies on your computer in an encrypted format.
We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. We use session cookies to make
it easier for you to navigate our web sites. A session ID cookie expires when you close
your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of
time. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet
browser's "help" file.
We set a persistent cookie to store certain information, including your account number,
so you don't have to enter it each time you want to log-in to your account. Persistent
cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance their
experience on our site as well as provide more relevant content in our e-mails.
If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use some areas of
our site will be limited and we may not be able to provide you with the most convenient
experience.
