SHARING, SELLING, AND DISCLOSING PERSONAL INFORMATION

DMB may sell, share or disclosed your information as described herein, unless you “Opt-Out” of certain sharing as directed below.

Service Providers and Affiliates: DMB may use other third parties to provide certain clerical and information processing services on our site. When you sign up for our services, we will share only as much information as is necessary for the provision of those services. These third parties are prohibited from using your personally identifiable information for any other purpose. We may disclose a consumer’s personally identifiable information in order to effect or carry out any transaction that you have requested of us or as necessary to complete our contractual obligations with you. We may share your personally identifiable information with affiliated companies that are directly or indirectly controlled by or under the common control of DMB.

CHOICE/OPT-OUT

We provide you the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having your personally identifiable information used for certain purposes, when we ask for this information. For example, if you purchase a product/service but do not wish to receive any additional marketing material from us, you can indicate your preference on our order form.

If you no longer wish to receive emails from us and/or promotional communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each newsletter or communication or by emailing us at info@dmbfinancial.com.

If you do not wish to have your personal information shared, sold or disclosed to a third party that is not our agent/service provider, please contact to actively opt-out of having your personal information shared. To do so, you can call or email DMB to opt out of sharing at: 833–4–DMB or info@dmbfinancial.com.

SECURING THE TRANSMISSION AND STORAGE OF INFORMATION

The security of your personal information is extremely important to us. We employ generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.

Our site uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) security technology to encrypt information you provide to us through the site when entering sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number) on our registration or order forms. This ensures that your information is encrypted as it travels over the Internet. SSL is an industry-standard protocol for encryption over the internet.

After information reaches DMB, it is stored on a secure server that resides behind firewalls designed to block unauthorized access from outside of DMB. You can help to maintain the security of your online transactions by not sharing your personal information or password with any. Remember, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. (Example: any information you provide us by email is not encrypted) Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

If you have any questions about the security on our Web site, please feel free to e-mail us.

LOG FILES

As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and click stream data. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We do not link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information.

COOKIES

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies on this site. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on our site.

We use session ID cookies. We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our site. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. We can, at your option, set a persistent cookie to store your passwords, so you don’t have to enter it more than once. Persistent cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site.

If you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use some areas of our site, such as contests or surveys, will be limited. Some of our business partners (e.g., advertisers) use cookies on our site. We have no access to or control over these cookies.

This privacy statement covers the use of our cookies only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

CLEAR GIFS (WEB BEACONS/WEB BUGS)

We employ a software technology called clear gifs, also called Web Beacons or Web Bugs, that help us better manage content on our site by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We do not tie the information gathered by clear gifs to our customers’ personally identifiable information.

We use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If you would like to opt-out of these emails, please see “Choice/Opt-out.”

LINKS TO OTHER SITES

This Web site may contain links to other sites such as our affiliates as well as third parties which are not owned or controlled by us. Please be aware that this privacy policy only addresses DMB’s use and disclosure of your information collected on this site.

While we try to link only to sites that share our standards and respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our site and to read the applicable privacy policies and terms of conditions of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information.

This privacy statement applies only to information collected by this Web site.

CO-BRANDED SITES

We may be co-branded with “partners and affiliates”. These business to business relationships are helpful to us and to you as they afford all concerned with greater product and service opportunities. We always provide opt-out opportunities regarding the sharing of your information with such partners and affiliates. Please note the sites linked to our site are governed by their own privacy policies which may or may not reach the standards set by DMB.

UPDATES TO PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION

We strive to keep all personal information accurate and complete. You can access or change your personal information at any time; provided, however, that we may reject requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort, risk the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical. We may also refuse a request to delete information if maintaining the information is required by law or is part of a fraud investigation, or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.

CUSTOMER SERVICE

If you send us correspondence, including e-mails and faxes, we may retain such information in your customer file. Information you give us over the telephone may be noted for your file. We may also keep copies of any correspondence sent to you. We retain these records in order to provide the products and services you have requested and to measure and improve our customer service. We may, over time, delete these records as permitted by law. Phone calls may be recorded or monitored for customer satisfaction purposes.

Based upon the personally identifiable information you provide, we may communicate with you to provide the services you request, and to manage your account. We may communicate via email or telephone, in accordance with your wishes.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER

We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information, as required, to comply with the law, applicable regulations, governmental and quasi-governmental requests, judicial proceedings, court orders or subpoenas, to enforce our Legal Notices or other agreements, or to protect our rights, property or safety or the rights, property or safety of our users or others (e.g., to a consumer reporting agency for fraud protection, etc.).

SUPPLEMENTATION OF INFORMATION

You may, in our sole discretion, be notified via e-mail and/or a prominent notice on our Web site for 30 days of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.
