5. Use of Computer Tracking Technologies.

(a) No Tracking of Personal Information. DontGo’s Website and Chat Box are not set up to track, collect or distribute personal information not entered by visitors. However, through website access logs, DontGo reserves the right to collect clickstream data and HTTP protocol elements, which generate certain kinds of non-identifying site usage data, such as the number of hits and visits to our website and/or Chat Boxes. This information is used for internal purposes by technical support staff for research and development, user analysis and business decision making, all of which provides better services to the public. The statistics garnered, which contain no personal information and cannot be used to gather such information, may also be provided to third parties.

(b) Use of Cookies. DontGo, or its third party vendors, may collect non-identifiable and personal information through the use of various technologies, including “cookies”. A cookie is an alphanumeric identifier that a website can transfer to customer’s or visitor’s hard drive through the customer’s or visitor’s browser. The cookie is then stored on customer’s or visitor’s computer as an anonymous tag that identifies the customer’s or visitor’s computer, but not the customer or visitor. Cookies may be sent by DontGo or its third party vendors. Customers and visitors can set their browser to notify them before a cookie is received, giving an opportunity to decide whether to accept the cookie. Customers and visitors may also set their browser to turn off cookies; however, some websites or Chat Boxes may not then work properly.

(c) Use of Google Analytics and Advertising Features. Google Analytics is a web analysis service provided by Google. Google utilizes the data collected to track and examine the use of DontGo’s website, to prepare reports on its activities, and share them with other Google services. Google may use the data collected to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. Further, DontGo may implement certain tracking features supported by Google Analytics for Display Advertising Demographics and Interest Reporting. The data collected (age and gender) is used to better understand our visitors and help us provide the most relevant content we can. DontGo may also employ Remarketing with Google Analytics to advertise online. Third-party vendors, including Google, may show our ads on sites across the Internet. DontGo and third-party vendors, including Google, use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) together to inform, optimize, and serve ads based on someone’s past visits to our website. You can opt out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising and/or customize Google Display Network ads using the Google Ads Settings or Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. We will not facilitate the merging of personally-identifiable information with non-personally identifiable information previously collected from Display Advertising features that is based on the DoubleClick cookie unless you have provided DontGo with prior affirmative (i.e., opt-in) consent to such merger.

(d) Use of Web Beacon Technologies. DontGo may also use web beacon or other technologies to better tailor the DontGo Website or Chat Box to provide better customer service. If these technologies are in use, when a visitor accesses these pages of the website or Chat Box, a non-identifiable notice of that visit is generated which may be processed by DontGo or by its suppliers. Web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies. If customers or visitors do not want cookie information to be associated with their visits to these pages or Chat Boxes, they can set their browser to turn off cookies; however, Web beacon and other technologies will still detect visits to these pages or Chat boxes, but the notices they generate cannot be associated with other non-identifiable cookie information and are disregarded.

(e) Collection of Non-Identifiable Information. DontGo may collect non-identifiable information from user visits to the DontGo Website or to a Chat Box generated from a visit to a Client’s Website in order to provide better customer service. Examples of such collecting include: traffic analysis, such as tracking of the domains from which users visit, or tracking numbers of visitors; measuring visitor activity on the DontGo Website or on Chat Boxes for Clients; website and system administration; user analysis; and business decision making. Such information is sometimes known as “clickstream data.” DontGo and/or its contractors and Clients may use this data to analyze trends and statistics.

(f) Collection of Personal Information. DontGo collects personal identifying information from customer or visitor during a transaction. DontGo may extract some personally identifying information about that transaction in a non-identifiable format and combine it with other non-identifiable information, such as clickstream data. This information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate level (not at an individual level) to help DontGo and its Clients understand trends and patterns. This information is not reviewed at an individual level.

6. Information Security.

(a) Commitment to Online Security. DontGo employs physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard the security and integrity of personal information. If DontGo were to ever collect billing and payment data from a customer or visitor, such data would be encrypted whenever transmitted or received online. Personal information is accessible only by staff designated to handle online requests or complaints. All of our Clients, agents and contractors with access to personal information on the DontGo Website or Chat Boxes are also bound to adhere to DontGo security standards.

(b) No Liability for Acts of Third Parties. DontGo will exercise all reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of customer or visitor personal information. However, transmissions protected by industry standard security technology and implemented by human beings cannot be made absolutely secure.
