General
This Privacy Policy is applicable to DCB's database of customers and website visitors as well as DCB's marketing database.
This Privacy Policy describes how we process personal data of our website visitors, customers, and potential customers (all the aforementioned hereinafter “Customers”).
Some of our services might be subject to a separate privacy policy. If a separate privacy policy applies to a particular service, we will post it in connection with the service in question.
This Privacy Policy may be updated if required in order to reflect the changes in data processing practices or otherwise. The current version can be found on our website. We will not make substantial changes to this Privacy Policy or reduce the rights of Customers under this Privacy Policy without providing a notice thereof.
We collect two types of information concerning our Customers: (i) Customer Data; and (ii) Web Analytics Data. Although we do not normally use Analytics Data to identify individuals, we'be been told that sometimes individuals can be recognized from analytics data, either alone or when combined or linked with Customer Data. In such situations, Web Analytics Data shall also be considered to be personal data under applicable laws and we will treat the combined data as personal data.
We may collect and process the following Customer Data: (i) name and contact details (including user names where applicable); (ii) organisation and title (iii) phone number; (iv) e-mail address; (v) communication history; (vi) invoicing and billing information; (vii) data concerning your orders and use of the Services or your interest in our Services; (iix) marketing opt-outs and opt-ins.
Most of the Customer Data is received directly from Customers in connection with the customer’s use of our services. In addition, some personal information may be collected and updated from our service partners to provide order fulfillment or customer contacts.
Analytics Data we gather in connection with the use of our Services includes, for example, the following data: (i) Customer’s IP address; (ii) device and device identification number; (iii) operating system; (iv) time of visit; (v) browser type and version; (vi) language settings. (vii) URL route and search history on the page. It is common for this data to be automatically provided by the web browser and stored by most web servers.
We use various technologies to collect and store Analytics Data and other information when Customers visit our Services, including cookies.
Cookies are small text files sent and saved on your device that allows us to identify visitors of our websites and facilitate the use of our services and to create aggregate information of our visitors. This helps us to improve our services and better serve our Customers. The cookies will not harm your device or files. We use cookies to process on-line orders, with Google advertising, and with on-site searches. Interestingly enough, the only cookie directly processed by DCB and not by our service partners is the one indicating that you have read the cookie policy.
Customers may choose to set their web browser to refuse cookies, or to alert when cookies are being sent.
Please note that some parts of our Services such as on-site search or on-line orders may not function properly if use of cookies is refused.
We use Google Analytics and other web analytics services to compile Analytics Data and reports on visitor usage and to help us improve web services. For an overview of Google Analytics, please visit Google Analytics and the Google privacy policy at the link below. It is possible to opt-out of Google Analytics with the following browser add-on tool: Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
