DigiBC.org - Website Privacy Policy

DigiBC, the Digital Media + Wireless Association of British Columbia, is committed to protecting the privacy of the personal information of users of DIGIBC.ORG®. This privacy statement applies with respect to information that DigiBC collects from its DIGIBC.ORG® website, located at www.DIGIBC.ORG. Changes to this privacy statement will be posted at this URL and will be effective when posted. Your use of this site following the posting of any amendment, modification or change to our privacy policy constitutes your acceptance of the policy.

Information Collected
We collect non-personally identifiable information about you in a number of ways, including tracking your activities through your IP address, computer settings or most-recently visited URL. We may also ask you to provide certain non-personally identifiable information about yourself, such as your title, annual revenues, your profession, buying preferences, etc. We do not routinely collect personally identifiable information about you unless you voluntarily submit such information to the DIGIBC.ORG® website by, for example, filling out a survey or registration form. The types of information that may be requested include your name, address, company website, e-mail address, and telephone number.

Use of Information
DigiBC may use the information to tell you about DIGIBC.ORG® events, products or services or other industry-related events, products and services that we feel may interest you. Personally identifiable information may be used to contact you again either by online electronic communication (such as e-mail), mobile communications (text as SMS), or by regular mail or telephone. DIGIBC.ORG® users may opt-out of receiving future mailings or information from DigiBC by unsubscribing to unsubscribe@DIGIBC.ORG.

Non-personal demographic and profile data is used to tailor your experience at the DIGIBC.ORG® website, showing you content we think might be valuable and relevant to your preferences. This information may also be shared with sponsored advertisers or supporting organizations on an aggregate, non-personal basis. When DigiBC shares such information with advertisers, it is not traceable to any particular user and will not be used to contact you again.

DigiBC offers on-line registration for the Vancouver Interactive Digital Week and other events at third party e-commerce websites. We may use the information you provide on our on-line registration forms to tell you about future events by DigiBC and/or its affiliates that we feel may be of interest to you. We may also share this information with DigiBC's carefully selected business partners and third parties entities – such as Wavefront™ – from whom we believe you may want to receive information concerning wireless-related products or services. Personally identifiable information may be used to contact you again either by online electronic communication (such as e-mail), mobile communications (text as SMS), or by regular mail or telephone. DIGIBC.ORG® users who register on-line for DigiBC events may opt-in to receive future mailings from DigiBC and its affiliates or from DigiBC's business partners and other carefully entities by selecting the appropriate box on the on-line registration form.

Use of IP Addresses

We use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests. Cookies can allow the DIGIBC.ORG® website to remember you when you return so you do not have to enter your registration data at each connection.

Security
While there is no such thing as "perfect security" on the Internet, DigiBC takes reasonable steps to protect the security and confidentiality of your personal information. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of personally identifiable information transmitted to us using the DIGIBC.ORG® website.

To guard your information, the DIGIBC.ORG® website uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) as well as other industry standard security measures for online transactions at the DIGIBC.ORG® website.
