Website Visitors

Like most businesses, Sdii Global collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Sdii Global’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Sdii Global visitors use its website. From time to time, Sdii Global may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.  

Sdii Global also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users and for users sending email to our info addresses. Sdii Global only discloses logged-in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information  

Certain visitors to Sdii Global websites choose to interact with Sdii Global in ways that require Sdii Global to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Sdii Global gathers depend on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for our Sdii Global Registry Service to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in “Request an Expert” transactions with Sdii Global are asked to provide additional information, including, as necessary, the contact information and accounting information required to process those transactions. In each case, Sdii Global collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Sdii Global. Sdii Global does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics
 
Sdii Global may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Sdii Global may monitor the most popular pages visited on our site or use a spam screening service to prevent spam on our site. Sdii Global may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Sdii Global does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Sdii Global discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Sdii Global’s behalf or to provide services available at Sdii Global’s websites, and (ii) have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Sdii Global’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Sdii Global will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, Sdii Global discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request, or when Sdii Global believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Sdii Global, third parties, or the public at large.

If you are a registered user of an Sdii Global website and have supplied your email address, Sdii Global may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Sdii Global and our services and products. We primarily use our various sites to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via an info email), we reserve the right to use it internally and/or reply to you in order to help us clarify or respond to your request. Sdii Global takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
