In addition, to register a domain name, Subscribers are asked to provide this information for the registrant, administrative contact, technical contact and billing contact of the domain name (collectively, “Domain Name Registration Information”), for submission to the appropriate domain registry or registration database. Subscribers may also be asked to complete an online form that collects information about demographics; product usage and preferences, along with other information that will help us improve our products and services.
    2. Social Media: DCXPERT’s website includes social media features (such as the Facebook “Like” button). These features may collect your IP address and which page you are visiting on our website, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features and widgets may be hosted by a third party or directly on DCXPERT’s website. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing the feature.
    3. Cookies and Tracking: DCXPERT uses different types of cookies (which are electronic collections of information stored on a local computer that are used by websites to keep track of visitors and registered users and to relate one computer transaction to a later one) and other methods of uniquely tracking visitors for different purposes. For example, some cookies are “required cookies” which are necessary for DCXPERT’s website to work. In addition, cookies are used to provide DCXPERT’s existing Subscribers with the opportunity for continued savings and increased convenience as described in more detail below.
      1. Cookies for Improving Our Web Site: DCXPERT uses “performance cookies” to inform DCXPERT of a repeat visit. However, these cookies do not tell DCXPERT who a visitor is, the visitor’s name, email address, or passwords.
      2. Cookies for Banner Rewards Program: To offer DCXPERT Subscribers continued savings, DCXPERT uses cookies to help monitor the traffic generated from DCXPERT banners and logo buttons displayed on DCXPERT Subscribers’ websites.
      3. Cookies for Subscriber Account Management: For DCXPERT Subscribers, DCXPERT uses “functional cookies” to store user names for added convenience. For example, the cookie would contain a piece of identifying information such as a customer ID, username, or session ID that would be used to look up the customer ID. DCXPERT offers password-protected, web-based management tools as part of its webhosting packages. By storing a Subscriber’s username in a cookie, the Subscriber will not have to fill out form fields each time he or she manages the account. (The cookie does not store passwords.)
      4. Cookies for Advertising: DCXPERT may also utilize “advertising cookies” to track referrals from internal and external affiliates, as well as advertising campaigns. DCXPERT may also use a third party service provider to send emails that you have agreed to receive. Pixel tags and cookies may be used in those email messages to help DCXPERT measure the effectiveness of its advertising and to enable DCXPERT to provide more focused marketing communications to you.
        You may set your web browser to notify you when you receive a cookie or change the settings on your web browser to clear or disable cookies. If you decide not to accept cookies, you may not be able to take advantage of all of the features of DCXPERT’s website. Additionally, please be aware that if you visit third party websites where you are prompted to log in or that are customizable, you may be required to accept cookies. Cookies do not enable third parties to access any of your personal (i.e., contact) information. However, advertisers and partners may also use their own cookies. DCXPERT does not control use of these cookies and are not responsible for information collected through them.
    4. Customer Surveys: DCXPERT may periodically conduct customer surveys. Participation in our customer surveys is voluntary. However, we encourage Subscribers to participate in these surveys because they provide DCXPERT with important information that helps improve the types of services we offer and how we provide them to you. Your personal information, if provided, will remain confidential, even if a third party service provider conducts the survey on our behalf.
    5. Collection by Linked Websites: DCXPERT may provide links to some third party websites as a convenience. Please exercise care when visiting linked websites. The linked websites have separate and independent privacy statements, notices and terms of use, which we recommend you read carefully. When you visit or make purchases through these third party sites, you may be asked to provide personal information, such as your name, address, email address, phone number, and credit/debit card information. Please note that in such cases, you are providing information to a third party and DCXPERT has no control over such third party’s use of any information you provide and, therefore, DCXPERT has no responsibility or liability for the manner in which the third party that operates a linked website may collect, use, disclose, secure or otherwise treat your personal information. Except as provided herein, DCXPERT will not provide any of your personal information to any third parties without your consent.
  3. Use of Information:

    DCXPERT uses information it collects primarily to provide and collect payment for its cloud-based solutions and other services. Passively collected information, such as information collected from or about your device including through the placement or reading of cookies or other tracking technologies are used to provide a customized experience as you use DCXPERT’s services.
    1. Subscriber Contact/Account Information: The information collected from Subscribers is used to manage each Subscriber’s account (such as for billing and account management purposes) and to promote other products or services that DCXPERT believes may be of interest to its Subscribers. DCXPERT may also generate non-identifying and aggregate profiles from information that Subscribers provide during registration (such as the total number of Subscribers in a given category, but not their names). As explained in more detail below, DCXPERT may in certain instances use this aggregated and non-identifying information to promote advertisements that appear on DCXPERT’s website and in connection with its services. Any such aggregated and non-identifying information that DCXPERT collects, and any analysis of such information that it produces, is proprietary information of DCXPERT.
    2. Analytics/Statistics: DCXPERT uses information gathered from its website analytics (for example, User IP addresses) to help diagnose problems with DCXPERT servers, and to administer and optimize DCXPERT’s website. DCXPERT also gathers broad demographic information from this data to help improve its website and make your browsing and purchasing experience more responsive, efficient, or enjoyable. Any statistics gathered by DCXPERT are proprietary property of DCXPERT.
    3. Responses to Email Inquiries: When Subscribers send email inquiries to DCXPERT, the return email address (and other personal information provided in the inquiry) is used to answer the email inquiry received.
    4. Customer Surveys: DCXPERT may use the contact information provided in customer surveys to follow up on survey answers. DCXPERT may also contact you to highlight the changes DCXPERT makes in response to your feedback.
  4. Sharing of Information:

    1. Confidentiality: With the exception of other members of the Endurance corporate family and trusted business partners who work with or on behalf of DCXPERT, and are subject to specific confidentiality agreements, DCXPERT will not provide or sell to any third party your personal information and will keep all Subscriber information confidential, subject to the following:
    2. Service Providers: Upon registration for DCXPERT services, certain Subscriber information may be transferred to trusted affiliated or unaffiliated third parties that help DCXPERT provide certain services or that provide certain services on DCXPERT’s behalf. For example, Subscriber information may be transferred to DCXPERT’s affiliated registrar, Enom (WHOIS Domain Name Registration Information), or to unaffiliated third parties that help DCXPERT provide email services or SSL certifications.
    3. Co-marketing Activities: Some services are offered or promoted in conjunction with a DCXPERT partner or sponsor. For example, DCXPERT may partner with other corporate affiliates of Endurance or with trusted non-affiliated partners for co-promotions of a particular product or service. DCXPERT may share certain Subscriber contact information but no billing information with DCXPERT’s partner or sponsor in order to provide the relevant services or to run the promotion. If DCXPERT shares Subscriber information with partners and sponsors, DCXPERT requires that they maintain the Subscriber information in confidence, and use the information solely for purposes of providing the services or carrying out the agreed upon promotion.
    4. Online Advertisements: DCXPERT does not share personally identifiable information about individual users with advertisers. DCXPERT may display online advertisements and share aggregated and non-identifying information about Subscribers collected through the registration process or through online surveys and promotions with certain advertisers. This aggregated and non-identifying information may be used to deliver tailored advertisements. For example, an advertiser may tell DCXPERT the audience it wants to reach (e.g., males between 25 and 55 years of age) and provide DCXPERT with an advertisement tailored to that audience. Based upon the aggregated and non-identifying information collected by DCXPERT, DCXPERT may then display the advertisement to the intended audience.
    5. Customer Surveys: In addition to sharing survey information with service providers confidentially as described above, DCXPERT may share aggregated, non-personally identifying information obtained from customer surveys within the Endurance corporate family or with third parties.
    6. Law Enforcement: DCXPERT will respond to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal processes, and will utilize Subscriber information as necessary to establish or exercise DCXPERT’s legal rights or defend against legal claims. Additionally, DCXPERT will share information to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations or suspected violations of DCXPERT’s Terms of Service, or as otherwise required by law.
    7. Domain Registration: In certain jurisdictions or pursuant to the rules of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (“ICANN”) or certain registries, Domain Name Registration Information has to be made available and accessible to the public through a “WHOIS” search. The WHOIS database is a publicly accessible database that lists the Domain Name Registration Information for a particular domain name, the name server(s) to which the domain name points, and the domain name’s creation and expiration date. The Domain Name Registration Information you provide is hosted by DCXPERT or a third party service provider and is made available to the public through WHOIS searches. DCXPERT may deposit your Domain Name Registration Information with a third-party escrow provider to comply with ICANN requirements. At times, Subscribers may receive solicitations that result from searches of the publicly available WHOIS database by other companies or individuals. Any such solicitations or SPAM do not come from DCXPERT and DCXPERT does not control the use of WHOIS information by third parties.
    8. Domain Privacy: When DCXPERT is threatened with suit by a third party, or any other legal action is brought to DCXPERT’s attention involving DCXPERT based on the anonymity of a domain name, DCXPERT may seek assurance from you, the customer, concerning your promise to indemnify DCXPERT and written confirmation that you have contacted the complainant and made your contact information available to the complainant. Failure to promptly provide these assurances may be considered by DCXPERT to be a breach of your agreement with DCXPERT and may result in deactivation of your domain name and disclosure of your contact information so that any allegations of infringement or other wrongdoing may be directly resolved between you and the complainant.
  5. Your Options:

    1. Public Forums: Please remember that any information you may disclose or post in forums or other public areas of DCXPERT’s website or the Internet, becomes public information. You should exercise caution when deciding to disclose personal information in these public areas.

In some cases, DCXPERT may not be able to remove your personal information, in which case DCXPERT will let you know why it is unable to do so.
