Privacy Policy
As a user of this Internet Website (“Site”), you ("you" or "user") are valued by
Dastics. Dastics is committed to protecting the personally identifiable information
("Personal Information") provided by and collected from you on this Site in connection
with the functions, facilities and services offered on this Site. This Privacy Policy
sets out the data processing practices carried out through the use of the Internet
and any other electronic communications networks by Dastics. If you have any requests
concerning your personal information or any queries with regard to these practices
please contact Dastics via email.
WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DOES DASTICS COLLECT
FROM SITE USERS?
We may gather Personal Information from visitors to this website so that we can
improve and personalise your experience with Dastics. Personal Information that
we collect falls into the following primary categories. We may receive Personal
Information that you enter into the Site, email to us, provide in an online form,
or provide in any other way. We may also collect information about the transactions
you undertake on this site (including details of payment cards used) or via email
as a result of a reference made on this site. You can choose not to provide some
or all of the Personal Information we ask for, but this may prevent you from using
some of our Site's features, such as on-line access. We collect additional information
automatically about your visit to this Site. In addition to the preceding categories
of Personal Information, Dastics also collects certain non-identifiable information
(the "Non-Identifiable Information"). Whenever you interact with Dastics, we receive
and store certain types of Non-Identifiable Information. For example, we may use
"cookies" to obtain information when your web browser accesses this Site. A cookie
is an alphanumeric identifier which we transfer to your computer via your web browser
and store on your computer's hard drive. Find out more about the use of cookies
on www.cookiecentral.com. The cookie file allows us to recognise your computer when
you visit our Site and to keep track of your browsing patterns to build up a demographic
profile. Our use of cookies also allows registered users to be presented with a
personalised version of the Site, carry out transactions and have access to information
about their account. On most web browsers you will find a "help" section on the
toolbar. Please refer to this section for information on how to receive notification
when you are receiving a new cookie, and how to turn cookies off. We recommend that
you leave cookies turned on because they may enable you to take advantage of some
of our Site's best features.
HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AND OTHER
NON-IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION?
Dastics processes the Personal Information collected via this website and which
you provide in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. If you provide
Personal Information for a certain reason, we may use it in connection with the
reason for which it was provided. For instance, if you contact us by e-mail, we
may use the Personal Information you provide to answer your question or resolve
your problem. If you contact us about a job listing, we may use your Personal Information
to consider you for the position. Dastics also uses your Personal Information and
other Non-Identifiable Information collected through the Site to help us improve
the content and functionality of the Site, to better understand our customers and
markets, to provide and personalise our services, to deal with your inquiries and
requests, for crime prevention and prosecution of offenders, to maintain information
as a reference tool or general resource, to carry out market research campaigns,
and to improve our services. We may also use and disclose information in aggregate
(so that no individuals are identified) for marketing and strategic development
purposes. Dastics may also use your Personal Information to contact you, electronically
or otherwise, in the future to tell you about products or services we believe will
be of interest to you or to make it easier for you to use our Site. If we do so,
each communication we send you will contain instructions permitting you to "opt-out"
of receiving future communications. Alternatively, you may opt-out by sending us
an email.
INTERNET-BASED TRANSFERS
Given that the Internet is a global environment, using the Internet to collect and
process personal data necessarily involves the transmission of data on an international
basis. Therefore, by browsing this Site and communicating electronically with us,
you acknowledge and agree to our processing of personal data in this way.
DOES DASTICS SHARE THE INFORMATION IT RECEIVES?
We are not in the business of selling information about our users. We consider this
information to be a vital part of our relationship with our customers and we treat
it with great care and respect. There are, however, certain circumstances in which
we may share your Personal Information with certain third parties, as set forth
below. Marketing: We may use any statements that you communicate to us through the
Site regarding Dastics or any of our products and services for advertising or marketing
purposes.
Agents: Dastics, like many companies, may hire other companies
to perform certain functions, such as mailing communications, sending e-mail and
managing databases. When we employ another company to perform a function of this
nature, we only provide them with the Personal Information they need to complete
the task and we endeavour to prohibit them from using that Personal Information
for any other purpose.
Business Transfers: As we develop our business, we might sell or
buy businesses or assets. In transactions such as these, Personal Information may
be one of the transferred business assets.
Protection of Dastics and Others: We may release account and other
Personal information when we believe that such release is appropriate to comply
with legal requirements, protect the rights, property or safety of our users, Dastics
or others, or enforce terms of our Legal Statements. In addition, we may exchange
information with other organisations for fraud protection and risk reduction.
Public Areas: Any submissions that you make to Public Areas will
be considered public. Dastics does not control, and is not responsible for, the
actions of other users of the Site with respect to any information you post in Public
Areas. In addition, information that you submit to Public Areas may be collected
and used by others to send you unsolicited messages and for other purposes.
HOW SECURE IS INFORMATION ABOUT ME?
Dastics uses reasonable measures to protect the Personal Information you provide
to the Site from unauthorised access, deletion or alteration. However, the security
of the Internet cannot be guaranteed. Accordingly, you should not provide any confidential
information to this Site.
ACCESS RIGHTS
You have a right to access the personal data held about you. To obtain a copy of
the Personal Information we hold about you, to correct existing information, or
to remove your information, please contact Dastics via email. If you request
removal of your Personal Information, you acknowledge that residual information
may continue to reside in Dastics records and archives, but Dastics will not use
that information for commercial purposes. Dastics reserves the right to maintain
your Personal Information if Dastics has suspended, limited, or terminated your
access to our Site for violating terms of the Legal Statements, which are hereby
incorporated by reference.
WHAT CHOICES DO I HAVE?
With the exception of Personal Information required to uniquely identify a user,
such as for student identification for an on-line course credit, you can choose
not to provide Personal Information. However, doing so may prevent you from accessing
other valuable features at our Site.
LINKS TO THIRD PARTY SITES
Our website may contain links to Internet Websites owned by third parties (“Third
Party Sites”) which are outside our control and are not covered by this Privacy
Policy. You understand and agree that if you access such Third Party Sites using
the links provided, the operators of those Third Party Sites may collect information
from you which will be used by them in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Your use of the Third Party Sites will therefore be governed by the privacy policies
of those sites and not by this Privacy Policy. Dastics shall not be responsible
for the actions of any Third Party Site operators.
CHILDREN
Dastics does not knowingly collect Personal Information from minor children. We
encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's Internet usage
and to help enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing their children to never provide
Personal Information on this Site without their permission.
TERMS OF USE, NOTICES, AND REVISIONS
If you have a concern about privacy at our Site, please send an email with a detailed
description of your concern and we will try to resolve it. Our business
and Site change constantly. This Privacy Policy and the associated Legal Statements
may change also. Our use of Personal Information that we receive and store is subject
to the Privacy Policy and Legal Statements in effect at the time of our use of such
Personal Information. If we decide to change our Privacy Policy or Legal Statements,
we will post the revised Privacy Policy and/or Legal Statements on this Site. This
Privacy Policy has been updated on the date indicated above. Any dispute arising
under or in connection with this Site and this Privacy Policy shall be dealt with
by the Court of Amsterdam in accordance with Dutch Law. This Privacy Policy and
any other conditions and notices contained in this Site constitute the entire agreement
between you and us and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and
proposals, whether electronic, oral or written, between you and us.
Our rights and remedies under this Privacy Policy are cumulative and are not exclusive
of any rights or remedies provided by law or by any other agreement. If any part
of this Privacy Policy is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to
applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability
limitations above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded
by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original
provision and the remainder of the agreement shall continue in effect. A printed
version of this Site and this Privacy Policy (including any conditions or notices)
and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative
proceedings.
You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship
exists between you and us as a result of this Privacy Policy or your use of this
Site.
