At some places in the DCVB web site, you may order products, download files, complete surveys, vote in polls or otherwise express an opinion, subscribe to services such as the Bull's Eye Online Newsletter, or participate in online forums or communities. The types of personally identifiable information that may be collected at these pages include: name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number, and information about your interests in and use of various products, programs, and services.

DCVB does not retain credit card information for any purchase made. Any such information entered into DCVB order forms is used solely to fulfill your purchase, then is purged from DCVB computers.

DCVB may also collect certain non-personally identifiable information when you visit its web pages, such as the type of browser you are using (e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer), the type of operating system you are using, (e.g., Windows or Mac OS), your IP address, and the domain name of your Internet service provider (e.g., America Online, Earthlink).

How DCVB Uses The Information

First and foremost, DCVB does not sell or provide your information to outside entities.

DCVB may use the information you provide about yourself to fulfill your requests for DCVB products, programs, and services, to respond to your inquiries about DCVB offerings, and to offer you other products, programs or services that may be of interest.

DCVB sometimes uses this information to communicate with you, such as to notify you when specials are available or when changes are made to online or print products and services, to fulfill your request for an online newsletter, or to contact you about new visitor developments in Durham, North Carolina.

DCVB sometimes uses the non-personally identifiable information collected to improve the design and content of the DCVB web site and to enable DCVB to personalize your Internet experience. DCVB may also use this information in an aggregated form to analyze site usage.

DCVB will disclose information when required to do so by law, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena. DCVB may also disclose such information in response to a law enforcement agency's request.

Agents and contractors of DCVB who have access to personally identifiable information are required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Notice, for example, by not using the information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for DCVB.

If you wish to be removed from distribution lists of DCVB messages concerning products and services, you will be provided an opportunity to opt out or block such uses. To opt out of such lists at this time, please click here.

Cookies

Some of the web pages on this site use "cookies." Cookies are text files placed in your computer's browser to store your preferences.

However, once you choose to furnish the site with personally identifiable information, this information may be linked to data stored in the cookie.

DCVB uses cookies to understand site usage and to facilitate the ordering process for many DCVB products and services. For example, DCVB may use cookies to personalize your experience at DCVB web pages (for example, to recognize you by name when you return to the DCVB site), save your password in password-protected areas, and enable you to use "shopping carts" on the DCVB site.
