Philosophy
of Privacy on Internet
The fundamental fact about the Internet is that no one --neither us, nor
anyone else -- owns or controls it. This fact accounts for much of the
Internet's openness and value, but it also places a high premium on the
judgment and responsibility of those who use the Internet, both in the
information they acquire and in the information they disseminate to others.
When customers obtain information through the Internet, they must keep
in mind that we cannot monitor, verify, warrant or vouch for the accuracy
and quality of the information that customers may acquire. For this reason,
the customer must exercise his or her best judgment in relying on information
obtained from the Internet, and also should be aware that some material
posted to the Internet is sexually explicit or otherwise offensive. Because
we cannot monitor and censor the Internet, and will not attempt to do
so, we cannot accept any responsibility for injury to our customers that
results from inaccurate, unsuitable or offensive Internet communications.
When customers disseminate information through the Internet, they also
must keep in mind that we do not review, edit, censor or take responsibility
for any information our customers may create.
Exchanging
Personally Identifiable Information
In our effort to provide personalization and opportunities for prizes
and services, we may at times ask you to submit information such as your
name or email address, or to share your interests and hobbies with us.
You never have to answer these questions, and you can decline this exchange
of information on any site on the Internet. However, if you should choose
to withhold requested |
information,
we may not be able to provide you with some of the services dependent
upon the collection of this information.

Internet, your Internet browser (such as Netscape Navigator® or Microsoft
Internet Explorer) automatically transmits some information to dgpledge.com
every time you access content on one of our sites. Examples of such information
include the URL of the Web page you were just on (known as the "Refer"),
the IP (or Internet Protocol) address of the computer you are using, or
the browser version you are using to access our site. All of this information
is collected by dgpledge.com and is used to help improve our offerings
to you.
