Data Drive Thru, Inc. ("Data Drive Thru") owns and
operates a number of different sites on the Web (each, a "Data Drive
Thru Site"). Data Drive Thru is strongly committed to protecting the
privacy of its user community. The intent of this privacy policy is
to detail the information Data Drive Thru may gather about individuals
who visit the Data Drive Thru Sites, how that information is used,
and Data Drive Thru's disclosure practices. Please note that this
policy applies only to the Data Drive Thru Sites, and not to the
Web sites of other companies or organizations to which we provide
links or to any software that may be downloaded from the Data Drive
Thru Sites.

Anonymous User Information
 |
Data Drive Thru collects some anonymous information
each time you visit an Data Drive Thru Site so we can improve the overall
quality of your online experience. We collect your IP address, referral
data, and browser and platform type. You do not have to register with
Data Drive Thru before we can collect this anonymous information.
The Data Drive Thru Sites do not require you to share information that
identifies you personally, such as your name or email address, in
order for you to use the Data Drive Thru Sites. The Data Drive Thru
Sites assign an anonymous ID number to your requests and links the
following additional data to that number: the date and time you visited
the Data Drive Thru Site, your search terms, and the links upon which
you choose to click. Like most standard Web site servers, we use log
files to collect and store this anonymous user information. Data
Drive Thru analyzes the information to examine trends, administer the
site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad
demographic information for aggregate use.
|
Individual User Information
|
From time-to-time the Data Drive Thru Sites request
information from you that may identify you personally in addition to
the anonymous information described above. The requested information
typically includes contact information (such as name, email address,
shipping address, and zip code), demographic information (such as age,
gender, occupation, and household income) and if you order products from
us, financial information (credit card, billing address, etc.). Data
Drive Thru will not use or disclose your individual user information
except as described in this privacy policy or on our on-line store site
pages. Data Drive Thru collects individual user information in the
following ways from different Data Drive Thru Sites:
|
Surveys or Contests
|
From time to time, Data Drive Thru may conduct
surveys or contests on an Data Drive Thru Site. Participation in these
surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a
choice whether or not to disclose individual user information to the Data
Drive Thru Site. Contest information will be shared with the contest or
survey sponsors to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey
information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the
use and satisfaction of the Data Drive Thru Site. We may use an
intermediary to conduct these surveys or contests. These companies may
use your personal information to help the Data Drive Thru Site
communicate with you about offers from the Data Drive Thru Site and our
marketing partners. Such third parties do not have Data Drive Thru's
permission to use your personally identifiable information for
any secondary purpose.
|
User Account
|
When you register for a user account on any of the
Data Drive Thru Sites, you are asked for your individual user
information. The individual user information may be collected and
stored by a third party partner. This partner will store your individual
user information on their servers for a period of time at which Data
Drive Thru will assume such storage responsibilities and your information
will be deleted from their servers. The partner will not have Data Drive
Thru's permission to use your individual user information for secondary
purposes. If you choose to participate in a user account, your
individual user information will be used to qualify you and to contact
you for various promotions or management of your account at Data Drive
Thru's discretion. Data Drive Thru may share your individual user
information with a third party with whom Data Drive Thru has entered
into an agreement to support such user account projects. You may opt
out at any time by canceling your user account.
|
Tell-A-Friend
|
If you elect to use our referral service for
informing a friend about any of our sites, we ask you for your
friend's name and email address. Data Drive Thru will automatically
send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the Data Drive
Thru Site. Data Drive Thru will store the information related to your
friends and the one-time email sent pursuant to your input will be our
only contact with that person for such input.
|
Correspondence
|
If you contact Data Drive Thru, we may keep a
record of that correspondence and we may collect your email address.
|
Third Party Information Gathering
|
The Data Drive Thru Sites include content and ads from
third parties that may perform user activity tracking other than that
described herein. The Data Drive Thru Sites contain links to other
sites on the Web. Please be aware that Data Drive Thru is not
responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We
encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read
the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects
personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies
solely to information collected by this Web site.

Cookies
|
Data Drive Thru may set and access Data Drive Thru
or partner cookies on your computer. A cookie is a small data file that
a Web site may send to your browser and which may then be stored on your
system. We use both session cookies and persistent cookies. For the
session cookie, once you close the browser, the cookie simply terminates.
A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on your hard drive for
an extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by
following Internet browser help file directions.
We use cookie and web beacon technology to track which pages on the Data
Drive Thru Sites our visitors view and which Web browsers our visitors
use. We may also use cookies to help us provide personalized features
and preferences to you within various Data Drive Thru Sites in a way
that may be linked to individual user information that you elect to
share with us. We also use "action tags" to assist in delivering the
cookie. These action tags allow us to compile statistics and other
data about our customers on an aggregate basis, by embedding a random
identifying number on each user's browser. Then we track where that
number shows up on our site.
|
Sharing
|
Though we make every effort to preserve your privacy,
we may need to disclose personal information when required by law
wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary
to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a criminal investigation,
a court order, or legal process served on our Web site. We may also
share your personal information if we believe it is necessary in order
to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities,
suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical
safety of any person, violations of Data Drive Thru's or such Data
Drive Thru Site's terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
Data Drive Thru Sites may use third party service providers to serve
ads and emails on our behalf. These companies may use technologies
to measure the effectiveness of ads and emails and use information
about your visits to the Data Drive Thru Site so that we can provide a
better search experience to you. For this purpose, we may also provide
these third party service providers anonymous information about your
site navigation.
|
Mergers; Business Transitions
|
In the event Data Drive Thru goes through a business
transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a
portion of its assets, users' personal information will, in most instances, be part
of the assets transferred.
|
Choice/Opt-out
|
We desire to keep you in control of the personal
information you provide to us. Accordingly, you can review, correct,
change or remove the personal registration information you provide
to Data Drive Thru and that Data Drive Thru controls. In order to
elect not to receive future communications from us, please email
us at click here
|
Notification of Changes
|
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will
post those changes to this privacy statement in places we deem
appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we
collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we
disclose it.
If, however, we are going to use Individually Identifiable Information
in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we
will notify users by posting a notice on our Web site for 30 days.

Special Notification with respect to Children's Privacy (Users under the age of 13)
|
In response to concerns about protecting children's
privacy online, Congress enacted the Children's Online Privacy Protection
Act of 1998 ("COPPA"), which sets forth rules and procedures governing
the ways in which Web sites may collect, use and disclose any personal
information for children under the age of 13. In accordance with Data
Drive Thru policy and COPPA regulations, we DO NOT:
- Request or knowingly collect personally identifiable information online or offline contact information from users under 13 years of age; or
- Knowingly use or share personal information from users under 13 years of age with third parties;
It is possible that by fraud or deception we may receive information given
to us or pertaining to children under 13. If we are notified of this, as
soon as we verify the information, we will immediately delete the information
from our servers
