INFORMATION COLLECTED FROM YOU WITH TECHNOLOGY

The DIGITAL REFERENCE website collects some information about you using technology, which may include your IP address, your domain server, your type of computer, your type of web browser, and statistical information regarding the pages that you visit.

As is the case with many sites, the DIGITAL REFERENCE website logs your IP address and uses standard technology called “cookies”, which are small data files that are downloaded onto your computer when you visit the Site. Cookies automatically identify your browser to the DIGITAL REFERENCE server whenever you interact with the Site.

We use cookies and the information they provide to improve our services and the quality of your experience with the Site. If you prefer not to allow us to collect “cookie” information, you can disable the cookies by turning them off in your browser, although some areas of the Site may not function properly if you do.

We do not link IP addresses to any personally identifiable information. This means that your session will be tracked, but you will not be personally identified. DIGITAL REFERENCE sites use information collected through technology to make our site more interesting and useful to you. For example, statistical information can help us track which areas of a site are more popular, so that we can better customize content to the interests of our visitors.

Newsletter
If you sign up for our newsletter, we may use information you provide to us in order to send you updates, such as notifications of changes to the terms of our services or important information about our services and products. We will not share or sell your information to other companies. If you decide you no longer want to be notified of this information, Contact Us or unsubscribe, and we will remove you from the mailing list.

Contact Forms
If you contact us by using the form on the Contact Us page on our website, we will only use the information that you submit so that we may reply to your question or comment. This information will not be shared, sold or used for other purposes.

DOES DIGITAL REFERENCE SHARE INFORMATION WITH COMPANIES OR OTHER ORGANIZATIONS NOT A PART OF DIGITAL REFERENCE?

You are one of the most valuable assets of our business. We do not sell or share information about you with companies or other organizations that are not a part of DIGITAL REFERENCE.

Companies That Are “Standing in the Shoes” of DIGITAL REFERENCE

Sometimes we hire companies to help us deliver products or services, like a shipping company that delivers a package. In those instances, we need to share your information with them. These companies are allowed to use the information only to deliver the product or service upon approval of DIGITAL REFERENCE.

Content Partners

Sometimes we may provide a link to content that is created by a third-party website. In some instances, the third-party sites will collect information in order to facilitate the transaction or to make the use of their content more productive and efficient. In these circumstances the information collected may be shared between DIGITAL REFERENCE and our third-party sponsors. Third-party sponsors may also have their own privacy policies posted on their websites.

Links to Other Outside Websites

Our website may contain links to outside websites with which we do not have affiliation, partnership or other cooperative agreement. DIGITAL REFERENCE does not share your personal information with those websites and is not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to learn about the privacy policies of those companies.

Organizations That Help Protect the Security and Safety of Our Guests and Our Sites

DIGITAL REFERENCE will disclose information about individual users to governmental or judicial authorities or law enforcement agencies, or to other individuals or entities in response to a subpoena, court order, or other legal process. Further, DIGITAL REFERENCE may share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities or suspected fraud, or to enforce or apply the terms and conditions of our agreement.

YOUR RIGHTS

Access and Correction

You have a right to know about the personal information that the DIGITAL REFERENCE website holds about you. You also have a right to correct, amend or delete such information if it is incorrect. If you wish to exercise these rights, please contact us by mail or email at the address shown in the “Contact” section below.

SECURITY

The Site incorporates appropriate safeguards to protect the security, integrity, completeness, accuracy and privacy of the personal information we have collected, and we have put in place reasonable precautions to protect information from loss, misuse and alteration. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as required and only authorized individuals have access to the information you provide us. Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that personally identifiable information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.

You hereby acknowledge that neither DIGITAL REFERENCE nor GTRC Services, Inc. is responsible for any intercepted information sent via the Internet, and you hereby release us from any and all claims arising out of or related to the use of intercepted information in any unauthorized manner.  

TERMS AND MODIFICATIONS TO PRIVACY STATEMENT

By using the Site, you signify your agreement to the terms of our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, you should not use the Site. DIGITAL REFERENCE may modify this privacy statement at any time. If a material change is made to this Privacy Policy and/or the way we use our users’ personally identifiable information, then we will post prominent notice of the nature of such change on this Privacy Policy. You are responsible for reviewing this Privacy Policy periodically to ensure that you are aware of any changes to it. Your continued use of the Site indicates your consent to any changes to this Privacy Policy.

CHILDREN

The website is not directed to children, and DIGITAL REFERENCE does not knowingly solicit information from any child under the age of 13. Should a child whom we know to be under 13 send personal information to us, we will use that information only to respond directly to that child (or a parent or guardian) to inform him or her that we must have parental consent before receiving his or her personal information.

WHAT CHOICES DO I HAVE ABOUT DIGITAL REFERENCE COLLECTING, USING, AND SHARING MY INFORMATION?

It is possible for you to use much of our site without giving us any personally identifiable information. Also, as mentioned above, there are ways to limit the information collected through technology–though some of our features won’t work if you decide to do this. For the safety of minors, we request that children under the age of 18 not fill out any personal information on our websites without first receiving the approval of a parent or guardian.

CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits California residents to request and obtain from us a list of what Personal Data (if any) we disclosed to third parties for that third party’s direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year and the names and addresses of those third parties. Requests may be made only once a year and are free of charge. Under Section 1798.83, we currently do not share any Personal Data with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. If we do decide to share your Personal Data with third parties for their marketing purposes, you may opt-out of this disclosure at any time by submitting a request to:

Legal Department
DIGITAL REFERENCE
P.O. Box 5111
Thousand Oaks, CA 91359-5111

It is important to note that this opt-out does not prohibit disclosures made for non-marketing purposes or for purposes of assisting us with our own marketing. Additionally, if you are a registered user under the age of 18 and a resident of California, you may request removal of content you have posted to our website or social media accounts. Please note that making such requests does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content. For example, we may retain the information for our own internal records, and it is also possible that a third party we do not own or control may copy the posting and repost it elsewhere.

WILL YOU MAKE CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY?

Our business changes constantly. This privacy policy may also change as we see the need for updates. Use of the information that we gather now is subject to the privacy policy in effect at time of use. We reserve the right, at any time and without notice, to add to, change, update or modify this privacy policy simply by posting such change, update or modification on the website. Any such change, update or modification will be effective immediately upon posting on the website. You should check our website frequently to see the most recent version of this privacy policy.
