DMIC has established this Online Privacy Policy so that you can understand the care with which we intend to treat your Personal Information.

Personal Information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a home or other physical address and an email address or other contact information, whether at work or at home. In general, you can visit DMIC’s Web pages without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself.

If you choose to provide us with your Personal Information on the Web, we may transfer that Information within DMIC or to DMIC’s third-party service providers, across borders, and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world.

DMIC strives to comply with all applicable laws around the globe that are designed to protect your privacy. Although legal requirements may vary from country to country, DMIC intends to adhere to the principles set forth in this Online Privacy Policy even if, in connection with the above, we transfer your Personal Information from your country to countries that may not require an “adequate” level of protection for your Personal Information. In other words, our goal is to provide protection for your Personal Information no matter where that Personal Information is collected, transferred, or retained.

Our use of cookies and other tracking technologies allows us to improve our Web site and your Web experience. We may also analyze information that does not contain Personal Information for trends and statistics.

Notic Where DMIC collects Personal Information on the web, we intend to post a purpose statement that explains why Personal Information will be collected and whether we plan to share such Personal Information outside of DMIC or those working on DMIC’s behalf. DMIC does not intend to transfer Personal Information without your consent to third parties who are not bound to act on DMIC’s behalf unless such transfer is legally required.

Choice You may choose whether or not to provide Personal Information to DMIC. The notice we intend to provide where DMIC collects Personal Information on the Web should help you to make this choice. If you choose not to provide the Personal Information we request, you can still visit most of DMIC’s Web sites, but you may be unable to access certain options, offers, and services that involve our interaction with you.

If you chose to have a relationship with DMIC, such as a contractual or other business relationship or partnership, we will naturally continue to contact you in connection with that business relationship.

Security Wherever your Personal Information may be held within DMIC or on its behalf, we intend to take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect the Personal Information that you share with us from unauthorized access or disclosure.

Access & Accuracy To the extent that you do provide us with Personal Information, DMIC wishes to maintain accurate Personal Information. Where we collect Personal Information from you on the Web, our goal is to provide a means of contacting DMIC should you need to update or correct that Information. If for any reason those means are unavailable or inaccessible, you may send updates and corrections about your Personal Information to webmaster@DMIC.com and we will make reasonable efforts to incorporate the changes in your Personal Information that we hold as soon as practicable.
