What Personal Information Do We Collect on Our Site(s)?
Information You Volunteer. Visitors to this Site are not required to reveal any personal information. However, we collect the personal information you knowingly and voluntarily provide when you submit your information through the "Contact Us" form on the Site(s), by e-mail, or by other means through which you may provide us information. Such information may include your name, company name, phone number, e-mail and any additional information you may provide to us.
Information Sent to Us by Your Web Browser. We may collect information that is sent to us automatically by your web browser, such as your IP address, the address of the web page you were visiting when you accessed our Site(s), information on your operating system and browser, and the date and time of your visit. The information we receive depends on the settings on your web browser.
The information provided by your browser does not identify you personally. We use this non-personal information primarily to create statistics that help us improve our Site(s). We may also review our server logs for security purposes, such as detecting intrusions into our network. If we suspect criminal activity, we might share our server logs -- which contain visitors' IP addresses -- with the appropriate investigative authorities who could use that information to trace and identify individuals.
Information Collected Using "Cookies" and Other Web Technologies. Like many commercial sites, we use "cookies" and similar technologies to collect information and manage our Site(s). A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web server. Cookies cannot be used to install computer programs or deliver viruses to your computer. We may use cookies to collect information about the ways visitors use our Site(s) and to facilitate your interactions with our Site(s). Cookies do not identify you personally. If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer.

We will not share your personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We may share personal information collected through our Site(s) with our parent, affiliate and subsidiary companies, and companies and organizations that perform services on our behalf, for example, companies that provide data management or other support services to us (such as data storage and web hosting services). We may disclose the personal information we collect through our Site(s) when we, in good faith, believe disclosure is appropriate to comply with the law (or a court order or subpoena); to prevent or investigate a possible crime, such as fraud or identity theft; to protect the rights, property or safety of DEW, our users or others; or to protect your vital interests. Information submitted to our Site(s) is an asset of DEW and will become part of our normal business records. Your personal information may be transferred to another company that has acquired the stock or assets of DEW, for example, as the result of a sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution or liquidation. If such a transfer occurs, the acquiring company's use of your personal information will still be subject to this Online Privacy Policy, and the privacy preferences you have expressed to us.
