Digerati Group - Privacy Policy

Digerati Group Privacy Policy

Digerati Group respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how Digerati Group uses personally identifiable information about our customers collected on the Digerati Group Web sites operated around the world. By using one of our Web sites or providing any personal information using one of our sites, you are agreeing to the collection and use of information in the manner described in this Privacy Policy.

Global Scope

Because Digerati Group is a global company, information that you submit to one of our Web sites in one country or language may be sent electronically to a server for one of these sites in another country. As a result, the information may be used, stored, or processed outside the country where it was recorded. However, we safeguard your data, wherever we may use, store or process it, by ensuring that it is treated in the manner described in this Privacy Policy.

Information Tracked

Our server software gathers in log files, general demographic information from all users of our Web sites. This includes browser types, IP addresses and referring domains. We use this information to help us understand our visitors' needs.
If you choose to receive information regarding Digerati Group's products and/or services, you will need to complete our information request forms. These forms require your name, company name, e-mail address, company address, phone number as well as other information to help us determine and respond to your needs related to the products and/or services requested. We use this information to send updates about our company and our products and to contact you if requested or necessary. We also use the demographic information you provide on these forms in connection with studies and reports regarding our Web sites, such as Web site usage patterns, in order to better understand the needs of visitors to our Web sites. We will not, however, associate any personally identifiable information which you provide with the information in these studies and reports.

We may occasionally run contests or other special promotions on our Web site in which we ask persons who choose to participate for contact information (like an e-mail address) or demographic information (like a zip code, industry or country). We may use the data we collect from you in these contests and promotions to send you promotional material about our company or our partners. Your customer contact information collected from these contests and promotions may be used to contact you when necessary. In addition, if you elect to provide us information regarding others you believe may be interested in receiving information about our products or services, such as in our 'refer a friend' program, we will use the information you supply to contact these persons. Any mailings we provide to these persons will contain a method for them to opt out of receiving future mailings.

We currently contract with several online partners to help manage and optimize our Internet business and communications. We use the services of marketing companies to help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising and how visitors use our site. To do this, we use Web beacons and cookies provided by our marketing company on this site. The type of information we collect includes:

Access your profile information when you "sign in," so that we can provide you with customized content, such as MyDigerati Group.
Estimate and report our total audience size and traffic patterns.
Conduct research to improve our content and services.
Track and measure the success of a particular marketing campaign

By supplementing our records, this information helps us learn things like what pages are most attractive to our visitors, which of our products most interest our customers, and what kinds of offers our customers like to see. Although our marketing companies log the information coming from our site on our behalf, we control how that data may and may not be used. If you do not want to help us learn how to improve our site, products, offers and marketing strategy, you can "opt-out" of this website analysis tool by disabling your cookie and/or by email the webmaster at Digerati Group

If you disable your cookie, you may still use our Web sites; however, you may not be able to access certain areas within a particular Web site.

Security and Disclosure

We use security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control which is gathered from our Web sites. We store this information in a secure environment at one or more of our service providers (Conxion, Digital Island and Exodus). Digerati Group personnel with access to this information have been advised of the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of such information and of using it only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

To facilitate mailings to our customers, Digerati Group may provide the necessary mailing information to bonded third party contractors which will perform the mailing on our behalf.

Other than as expressly described in this Privacy Policy, we will not share, sell, or rent personally identifiable information with anyone outside of Digerati Group, without your prior permission or unless ordered by a court of law. For purposes of this paragraph, "Digerati Group" means Digerati Group Corporation, its subsidiaries, and any successor to the assets or business of any such entities.

Digerati Group is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any other Web sites to which we link.

Notification of Privacy Policy Changes

Digerati Group may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. If Digerati Group decides to make substantial changes in the way we use your personal information, we will post the changes on this page so that you always will know what information we collect, how it is used, and when and how it will be disclosed. Your use of any Digerati Group Web site following notice of such change will be deemed acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy, which may include application of the new policy to information provided prior to the date of such change.

Choice/Opt-Out and Updating Information

If you receive marketing or similar e-mail messages from us and wish to opt out of receiving such messages, then you may simply follow the opt-out procedure specified in such e-mail. In addition, if you have registered on one of our sites, you may log onto such site and, using your password, update your personal profile to opt out of receiving any future marketing or similar messages. You may, of course, use this same process to access your personal profile and update other aspects of your personal information.
