This document sets forth the Design Insite Privacy Policy
(the "Privacy Policy") for this Web site,
www.design-insite.com (the "Site"). If you have
objections to the Privacy Policy, you should not access or
use this Site.
Changes in Privacy Policy
All "personal information" ("personal information"
is defined as any information that identifies or
can be used to identify, contact, or locate the person to
whom such information pertains) that we
collect and maintain will be subject to the version of the
Privacy Policy in effect at the time of such
collection. Design-Insite reserves the right to change the
Privacy Policy from time to time at its sole
discretion, and will provide notice of material changes on
the home page of the Site. If as the
result of such changes, you want to alter the ways in which
Design Insite is allowed to use your personal
information, you can do so by following the procedure described
below in the section titled
"Updating your personal information and privacy preferences."
You will be deemed to have been
made aware of, and will be subject to, the changes to the
Privacy Policy by your continued use of
the Site after such notice has been posted for thirty (30)
days with the following exception: If at
the time you provide personal information to Design Insite
you are given the opportunity (as you
currently are) to limit how such information will be used
to communicate with you, either by Design Insite
or by third parties, Design Insite will not change your preference
in this regard without your express
consent. However, if Design Insite sells assets (or the assets
of a division or subsidiary) to another
entity, or Design Insite (or a division or subsidiary) is
acquired by, or merged with, another entity,
Design Insite may provide to such entity customer information
that is related to that part of our business that
was sold to or merged with the other entity without your consent.
Entities collecting personal information
Personal information on this Site is collected by Design Insite.
Design Insite's address is
POB 1088 Walhalla, SC and its telephone
number is (864)638-2101.
The Site contains links to other sites at
which personal information is collected. In such instances,
unless expressly provided to the contrary, the collection
and use of your personal information will
be governed by the privacy policy applicable to that site.
That privacy policy should identify the
entity that is collecting your personal information.
Collection of personal information
As a visitor to this Site, you can engage
in many activities without providing any personal
information. In connection with other activities, such as
subscribing to the collaboration services
offered on the Site or utilizing online software applications,
Design Insite may ask you to provide certain
information about yourself by filling out and submitting an
online form. It is completely optional
for you to engage in these activities. If you elect to engage
in these activities, however, Design Insite
may ask that you provide us personal information, such as
your first and last name, mailing
address (including ZIP code), e-mail address, employer, job
title and department, telephone and
facsimile numbers, and other personal information. When ordering
products or services on the Site, you may be asked to provide
a credit card number. Depending upon the activity, some of
the information that we ask you to provide is identified as
mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the
mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you
will not be able to engage in that activity.
When you use the Site, Design Insite or
third parties authorized by Design Insite may also collect
certain
technical and routing information about your computer to facilitate
your use of the Site and its
services. For example, we may log environmental variables,
such as browser type, operating
system, CPU speed, and the Internet Protocol ("IP")
address of your computer. We use these
environmental variables to facilitate and track your use of
the Site and its services. Design Insite also
uses such environmental variables to measure traffic patterns
on the Site. Without expressly
informing you in each particular circumstance, we do not match
such information with any of your
personal information.
When you submit personal information to
Design Insite through this Site, you understand and agree
that
this information may be transferred across national boundaries
and may be stored and processed
in any of the countries in which Design Insite and its affiliates
and subsidiaries maintain offices,
including, without limitation, the United States. You also
acknowledge that in certain countries or
with respect to certain activities, the collection, transferring,
storage, and processing of your
information may be undertaken by trusted vendors of Design
Insite. Such vendors are bound by contract
not to use your personal information for their own purposes
or provide it to any third parties. One
instance where this could occur is in conjunction with framed
pages in which the URL for the pages
is not visible and the pages are being hosted by a vendor
of Design Insite.
Design Insite has established relationships with various service
providers whose services are available to
you from this Site or from Web sites that are linked to this
Site. Typically, these providers offer
services that Design Insite customers might find useful, such
as those that can be used in conjunction
with Design Insite services and products. In order to use
those services, you may be required to provide
personal information to the providers. Unless expressly provided
to the contrary, personal
information that you provide while you are visiting a provider's
Web site will be subject to the
privacy policy posted on such site, and personal information
that you provide while on this Site in
conjunction with a provider's service will be subject to this
Privacy Policy. You should be aware that
our agreements with these service providers often provide
that they will share with Design Insite personal
information collected from you. In such instances, Design
Insite may use this information in a manner
consistent with this Privacy Policy. In the situation where
sites have an Design Insite "look and feel," and
you reasonably believe you are on an Design Insite site, the
site is collecting information in a solely
intermediary capacity and does not use personal information
for secondary purposes.
How your personal information is used
Design Insite collects your information in order to record
and support your participation in the activities
you select. If you subscribe to a service or register a product,
for example, the information is
used to register your rights, if any, to technical support
or other benefits that may be made
available to registered users. As another example, if you
enter a contest, information is collected
to qualify the entry and contact you regarding the contest
or prize awards. Your personal
information is also used to keep you informed about product
upgrades, special offers, and other
products and services of Design Insite and selected third
parties if you have so opted to receive such
communications.
Design Insite may collect information about the use of the
Site, such as the types of services used and
how many users we receive daily. This information is collected
in aggregate form, without
identifying any user individually. Design Insite may use this
aggregate, non-identifying statistical data
for statistical analysis, marketing, or similar promotional
purposes.
Your choices with respect to personal information
Design Insite recognizes and appreciates the importance of
responsible use of information collected on
this Site. Without your consent, Design Insite will not communicate
any information to you regarding
products, services, and special offers available from Design
Insite, although we may find it necessary to
communicate with you regarding your use of the services on
this Site. Except in the particular
circumstances described in this Privacy Policy, Design Insite
will also not provide your name to other
companies or organizations without your consent.
There are other instances in which Design
Insite may divulge your personal information. Design Insite
may
provide your personal information if necessary, in Design
Insite's good faith judgment, to comply with
laws or regulations of a governmental or regulatory body or
in response to a valid subpoena,
warrant, or order or to protect the rights of Design Insite
or others.
Protection of your personal information
The personal information that you provide in connection with
registering yourself as a user of
Design Insite products or services or registering an Design
Insite product is classified as Registration
Information. Registration Information is protected in several
ways. Access by you to your
Registration Information is available through a password and
unique customer ID selected by
you. This password is encrypted. We recommend that you do
not divulge your password to
anyone. In addition, your Registration Information resides
on a secure server that only selected
Design Insite personnel and contractors have access to via
password. Design Insite encrypts your personal
information and thereby strives to prevent unauthorized parties
from viewing such information
when it is transmitted to Design Insite.
Personal information that you provide that
does not constitute Registration Information also
resides on a secure server and is only accessible to selected
Design Insite personnel and contractors via
password. Since this information is not accessible by you,
you will not be asked to select a
password in order to view or modify such information.
Please note that any information you post
to a public bulletin board or chat room, such as the
Design Insite User to User Forums (the "Forums"),
is available to all persons accessing that location.
Your e-mail address will not automatically be posted on the
Forums unless you modify the default
setting to permit that. Your e-mail address would then be
available to all persons accessing the
Forums. In addition, you should be aware that the Forums offers
a service in which subscribers are
e-mailed a copy of all messages posted to the Forums on a
particular topic. Consequently, if you
post a message to the Forums, your e-mail address will be
sent to those subscribers that have
indicated an interest in the topic of your message.
Use of cookies
When you visit this Site, you can browse the Site and access
important information without
revealing your identity. In order to improve our Site, we
use "cookies" to track your visit. A cookie
is a small amount of data that is transferred to your browser

read by the server that gave it to you. It functions as your
identification card, and enables Design Insite
to record your passwords, purchases, and preferences. It cannot
be executed as code or deliver
viruses.
Most browsers are initially set to accept
cookies. You can set your browser to notify you when you
receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether
to accept it. (For some Web pages that
require an authorization, cookies are not optional. Users
choosing not to accept cookies will
probably not be able to access those pages.)
While Design Insite uses cookies to track your visit to Design
Insite.com, and our Web servers automatically log
the IP/Internet address of your computer, Design Insite does
not use this information to identify you
personally.
