less stringent than the laws in your country.
The
Privacy Policy is a living document and we reserve the right to make changes to

In order to improve our Web Site and to better understand the

DecisionView
collects information from visitors of the Web Site for the purpose of providing

else, such as a spouse or work colleague, we assume that you have their
permission to do so; if this is not the case, please do not provide such
information.
Survey

satisfaction of the visitors to the Web Site. Some of this information is
collated with other sources of data to improve our understanding of visitors to
the Web Site.
We
may create Anonymous Information records from Personal Information by excluding
information (such as your name) that makes the information personally
identifiable to you. We may also create Anonymous Information on how you use
the Web Site, or DecisionView products and services. We may use this Anonymous
Information for internal purposes, such as analyzing usage patterns so that we
may enhance our Web Site and DecisionView products and services, and we also
reserve the right to use and disclose any Anonymous Information at our
discretion.
We
may use your Personal Information to provide you with notifications related to
your use of the DecisionView products and services, such as electronic
newsletters or promotional e-mails, should you request to receive such

are sent to you by emailing us at webmaster@decisionview.com.
Unsubscribe instructions will also accompany each newsletter or promotional
communication you receive from us.
We will send you strictly
service-related announcements (such as, but not limited to, notices of any
updates to this Privacy Policy) when we believe it is necessary to do so. You
may not opt-out of these communications, which are not promotional in nature,
but if you do not wish to receive these announcements, you have the option to
request the deletion of your contact information from our database. When we
delete information that we have collected from or about you, it will be deleted
from our active databases but may remain in our archives.

alteration of data and information located on our systems. We implement appropriate
measures and processes, such as using encryption when transmitting certain
