Thank you for visiting the Privacy Policy page of DMC Valuations, Inc. ("DMC"). DMC values your right of privacy, and wants you to feel comfortable using its website at http://www.dmcvaluations.com (the "DMC Website" or "Website"). By using and/or visiting the DMC Website, you signify your assent to the terms of this Privacy Policy, which was last updated on August 10, 2008.
1. DMC Website. This Privacy Policy applies solely to the DMC Website, which may contain links to third party websites that are not owned or controlled by DMC. DMC has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party website. DMC will not and cannot censor or edit the content of any third party site. By using the Website, you relieve DMC from any and all liability arising from your use of any third party website.
2. What Type of Information Do We Collect? When you visit the DMC Website, we may collect passive information about your visit. Passive information is any form of aggregate data, navigational data, tracking data, click-stream data, or historical data, which does not on its own personally identify you. We may also collect the following personally identifiable information should you voluntarily submit it to DMC, through the DMC Website or otherwise: your first and last name, your home and other physical address, your email address, and your telephone number. DMC provides you with the ability to "opt-out" of certain uses of such personally identifiable information.
3. Maintenance & Opt-Out Of Information. If you wish to change your personally identifiable information, or wish to opt-out of our use and disclosure of your personally identifiable information, other than as expressly permitted in this Privacy Policy, please contact us through one of the following means:

Physical Address: DMC Valuations, Inc.

Telephone: 714-241-4220
4. How Do We Use Or Share Information? If you have opted out of our general use of personally identifiable information, DMC will not use or disclose such information except as follows:
- to communicate directly with you in connection with your specific requests;
- to validate credit card numbers;
- to comply with a lawful subpoena or court order;
- to remedy any violation or breach of an agreement between you and DMC; or
- to prevent harm to the property or rights of DMC or its customers.
If you have not "opted-out" of our use and disclosure of your personally identifiable information, DMC may also use such information for its own marketing and survey purposes, and DMC may appoint third party agents in connection with such marketing and survey efforts, subject to reasonable confidentiality restrictions. For instance, DMC uses Roving Software Incorporated d/b/a Constant Contact as its email news service agent. [DMC may also share personally identifiable information without restriction with International Data Group / DMC will not, however, disclose any personally identifiable information for use in connection with a third party's marketing efforts.]
5. Aggregate Information. DMC may share aggregate statistical information with business partners, sponsors or other third parties, but none of them receive personally identifiable information. For example, we may tell an advertiser that X number of visitors visited a certain area on a website, or that Y number of men and Z number of women applied for extended service, but we would not disclose anything that uniquely identifies those individuals.
6. Unsolicited Emails Received by You. DMC endeavors not to send unsolicited bulk email to anyone who has opted out of their receipt. If you have inadvertently received one of our emails after opting out, or if you simply wish to stop receiving them, please follow the instructions contained in the email or send a request to be unsubscribed to admin@dmcvaluations.com.
7. Cookies. We may use "cookies" to enhance your experience with the Website. If enabled in your browser, cookies may store small amounts of data that enable us to customize our content according to your preferences. We may use cookies to: (i) keep count of your return visits to the Website; (ii) accumulate anonymous, aggregate, statistical information on website usage; (iii) deliver content specific to your interests or past viewing history; and (iv) save your password so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit our Website. Cookies tell us nothing about you personally, unless you specifically give us additional information. You can also disable cookies by modifying your browser preferences.
8. Children's Online Privacy Protection. The DMC Website complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA). DMC does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. It is possible that by fraud or deception we may receive information pertaining to children under 13. If we are notified of this, as soon as we verify the information, we will immediately obtain parental consent or otherwise delete the information from our servers. If you want to notify us of our receipt of information by children under 13, please do so by emailing us at admin@dmcvaluations.com.
9. Changes To This Policy. This Privacy Policy may evolve as our business changes over time. Should our Policy change, we will immediately publish the amended Policy on the DMC Website. Accordingly, we recommend that you check our Website frequently to view recent changes or updates. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Policy applies to all information that we have about you and your account.
