Privacy Statement
DOCU, NV ("DOCU") regards the privacy and security of user information as a critical component of the products and services that we offer on our web site(s) (collectively, the "Site"). The following privacy statement ("Privacy Statement") discloses our policies on the collection, use, and disclosure of information on the Site.
Information Collected
DOCU may collect both Aggregate Information and Personally Identifiable Information on the Site. "Aggregate Information" is information that describes the habits and other behavioral traits of the users of the Site as a group but does not indicate the identity of a particular user. Generally, this information is collected through "traffic data" and may entail the use of "Cookies", "IP addresses" or other numeric codes used to identify a computer. The use of "Cookies" on the site is explained in more detail below in the IP Address and Cookies section.
"Personally Identifiable Information" refers to information you voluntarily provide to DOCU that tells us specifically who you are, such as your name, e-mail address, company name, address, or telephone number.
Use of Aggregate Information
DOCU may use Aggregate Information to perform statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and behavior of our registered users and visitors, to measure user behavior regarding specific areas of the Site and to analyze how and where best to use our resources. Without such data, we would not know which parts of the Site are the most popular, and we would not be able to change and update the content and services appropriately.
We may use Aggregate Information to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer our Site, and for product monitoring and improvement.
DOCU also may use the Aggregate Information collected to let our partners know the number of people who have certain browser characteristics and the number of those people who have seen and/or "clicked" on individual advertisement(s). No Personally Identifiable Information will be disclosed to these partners as part of this process.
Use of Personally Identifiable Information
DOCU does not collect Personally Identifiable Information about you except when you specifically provide such information on a voluntary basis, as prompted by the Site in the circumstances described below.
(a) Required Disclosure: DOCU will only disclose Personally Identifiable Information without your permission if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the requirements of the law or comply with legal process served on DOCU or the Site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of DOCU; (c) enforce the DOCU Terms of Use; or (d) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Site or the public.
(b) E-Mail Promotions: If you choose to receive promotional e-mails from DOCU, we will ask you to provide DOCU with your e-mail address. If at any time after you subscribe to receive e-mail promotions, you may unsubscribe by replying to DOCU with the word "unsubscribe" in the subject heading of your e-mail.
(c) Sweepstakes and Contests: We may ask you for Personally Identifiable Information when you enter a sweepstakes or contest sponsored by DOCU. If you enter a sweepstakes or contest on the Site, we will use the Personally Identifiable Information you provide to contact you in the event that you win.
(d) Product and Service Purchases/Enquiries: We ask for Personally Identifiable Information when you purchase a product or service through DOCU's E-Store, or if you wish to become a licensed user of a DOCU product, such as ProjectCenter®.
When you purchase a product or service, DOCU will collect your credit card and shipping information for billing purposes. DOCU does not store, use or share your credit card information for any other purpose. DOCU uses security techniques, including encryption and secure servers, to help protect against unauthorized access to transmitted information used for billing purposes.
DOCU will collect Personally Identifiable Information from you when you request additional information about a particular product or service listed on the Site, so that a DOCU sales representative or local partner is able to contact you to provide the information you have requested.
(e) Service/Support Related Correspondence: If you register to use a DOCU product or otherwise purchase a product from this Site, DOCU may use your e-mail contact information to deliver technical support-related service information, as applicable. We will not send you unrelated promotional e-mails unless you have specifically asked to receive them. If you register to use a DOCU product or otherwise purchase a product from this Site, you will not be able to unsubscribe from receiving technical support-related service e-mails (unless your license rights expire or are terminated), as these e-mails are considered part of the service you have chosen.
(f) Correspondence: If you contact DOCU, we may keep a record of that correspondence. If you communicate with DOCU via e-mail, we may keep a record of your e-mail address, but we will not disclose your e-mail address except as permitted under this Privacy Statement.
Sharing of Personally Identifiable Information
DOCU feels strongly that your Personally Identifiable Information should only be seen by you, unless you choose to share it with others. We will never sell, rent, license or exchange Personally Identifiable Information to or with a third party without your permission, except as permitted under this Privacy Statement. DOCU will only share your Personally Identifiable Information with our partners to the extent necessary to fulfill your orders for goods and services purchased on the Site. We will employ reasonable efforts to require these partners to abide by this Privacy Statement and not further use or disclose your Personally Identifiable Information for any purpose other than providing us or you with products and services.
Children
The DOCU products and services offered on the Site are not available to children under the age of 13. If we become aware that a user under the age of 13 has registered or is attempting to register with the Site, we will notify the user that he is not eligible to become a member. We will also expunge any Personally Identifiable Information from our records, barring that which is used to block the child from our service.
Security
Information collected by DOCU is stored in secure operating environments that are not available to the public. All of our employees are dedicated to maintaining and upholding your privacy and security and are aware of our privacy and security policies. Although we use industry-standard practices to protect your privacy, we cannot guarantee, and you should not expect, that your Personally Identifiable Information or private communications will remain private under all circumstances. For example, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or stored information. We cannot and do not assume any responsibility or liability for any information you submit to us or your or a third party's use or misuse of information transmitted or received during use of the Site.
