Customers can review, make changes to or delete personal data on file at anytime online at http://modify.dotEarth.com/ Personal data deletion requests will be processed if the data is no longer needed for providing the purchased services or if there is no legal or contractual requirement to retain the data.

Purposes for Processing of Personal Data

We may use the information collected through our Services:

To manage, administer and improve our Services.
To respond to your questions or messages.
To provide you with personalized features and content that may be of interest to you.
To fulfill your DRS orders and other requests.
To process applications for jobs.

With your consent where required by applicable law, to send you DRS email newsletters and other communications.
To understand whether and when you read our email messages and click on links in those messages.
To help us measure and analyze user traffic and usage patterns and improve the quality and effectiveness of our content, features, and other communications.

In other ways and for other purposes that are described to you at the time we collect the information or for which we otherwise have your consent.

Sharing Your Personal Data

We and our service providers collect and use information to provide you with a customized interactive experience and to make our Services more valuable to you.

DRS may share your personal data with third parties in order to complete the processing of your order, for example, processing credit card payments and activating purchases of web and email hosting services with our third party provider/partner, or to fulfill our contractual obligations, for example, providing required contact data elements to the applicable tld registry provider, ICANN, and ICANN accredited escrow provider. We may share any collected information in connection with a substantial corporate transaction, such as the sale of an DRS Service or division, a merger, a consolidation, an asset sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy.

DRS may disclose personal data when deemed necessary in order to comply with any applicable laws, government rules or requirements, requests of law enforcement, or in compliance with any dispute resolution process (UDRP) or ICANN domain contact or WHOIS verification requirements. DRS will make reasonable attempts to notify customer when data is shared for this purpose.

Retention

DRS retains personal data only for as long as necessary to provide the service(s) you have purchased and to meet our contractual obligations or business requirements for record keeping purposes.

DRS will not process data in a way that is incompatible with this Agreement. DRS will take reasonable precautions to protect data from loss or misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Security

We employ physical, electronic, and managerial safeguards in an effort to secure the information we collect. We provide a secure https web-based support/ticketing system. Because no security system is impenetrable, we cannot guarantee the security of our databases or that information you supply will never be intercepted, accessed, or disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy. Because most email and mobile transmissions are not encrypted, you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us via email, text messages, or other mobile transmissions.

Links to and from Other Sites and Services

Our web pages contain links to other sites, applications, platforms and services operated by third parties whose privacy policies we don't control and may differ significantly from ours. You also may access DRS content and the DRS Services from a third-party site or service that may collect, use and share information in ways that DRS would not. DRS is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of these third-party services and we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the privacy policies of any such sites or services you visit or access.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

DRS reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted to this page, so please check back periodically. Your use of our Services constitutes consent to the Privacy Policy then in effect. Please read DRS's DRS's Terms of Services to understand additional terms and conditions that apply to your use of our Services.

Users Outside the U.S.

Our Services are controlled and operated within the United States. Any information we collect may be transferred to, and processed, stored, and accessed by, us and our service providers in the United States and in other jurisdictions where we or our service providers operate. These jurisdictions may have data privacy laws that may not be as protective as those of your home jurisdiction, and courts and other authorities may, in certain circumstances, be entitled to access information about you subject to such data privacy laws. By using the DRS Services, you agree to this transfer, processing, storage, and access of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.
