d&b data privacy protection policy
Protecting the security and privacy of your personal data is important
to d&b; therefore, we conduct our business in compliance with the
applicable laws on data privacy protection and data security. We hope
the policy outlined below will help you understand further on what data
d&b may collect, how d&b uses and safeguards that data and with
whom d&b may share it.
Personal data
Through our website, d&b will not collect any personal data about
you (e.g. your name, address, telephone number or email address), unless
you voluntarily choose to provide us with it (e.g. by registration in the
discussion forum, seminar order, etc).
Purpose of use
When you do provide us with personal data, we usually use it to respond
to your inquiry, process your order or provide you access to specific
information or offers. Also, in supporting our customer relationship with
you:
 |
we may store and process personal data and share
it with our worldwide affiliates and partners to help us improve our products
and services; or |
| |
we (or one of our partners) may use personal data
to contact you about a d&b offer in support of your business needs. |
We do not sell or otherwise market your personal data to third parties.
Purpose limitation
d&b will collect, use or disclose personal data you supplied online only
for the original purposes unless the disclosure is:
| |
a use of the personal data for any additional
purpose, that is directly related to the original collected purpose, |
| |
necessary to prepare, negotiate and perform a
contract with you, |
| |
required by law, or the competent governmental
or judicial authorities, |
| |
necessary to establish or preserve a legal claim
or defence, |
| |
necessary to prevent fraud or other illegal
activities, such as wilful attacks on d&b information technology systems. |
Communications or utilization data
Through your use of telecommunication services to access our website,
your communication data (e.g. Internet protocol address) or utilization
data (e.g. information on the beginning, end and extent of each access,
and information on the telecommunication services you accessed) are technically
generated and could conceivably relate to personal data. If there is a compelling
necessity, the collection, processing and use of that data will be performed in
accordance with the applicable data privacy protection legal framework.
Non-personal data collected automatically
When you access our website, we collect automatically non-personal data
(e.g. internet browser and operating system used, domain name of the website
which you came from, number of visits, average time spent on the site, pages
viewed). We may use this data and share it with our worldwide affiliates to
monitor the popularity of our website's different pages and to improve their
performance or content.
"Cookies" - information stored automatically on your computer
When you visit our discussion forum by registering or logging in, we store
some data on your computer in the form of a "cookie". The only content of that cookie
is your username and encrypted password. This helps us manage your access rights
during the session as well as automatically logging you in the next time. We use
the cookie only in conjunction with our discussion forum and only to ensure the proper
functionality of that tool. No other data will be collected. If you reject cookies you
can use our discussion forum only as a guest in read-only mode.
Security
To protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction,
loss or alteration and against unauthorized disclosure or access, d&b
uses technical and organizational security measures.
Links to other websites
The d&b website contains links to other websites. d&b is not responsible
for the privacy practices or the content of other websites. When a link is created,
the content of that link is checked. d&b assures that on the time of creation
there was no illegal content on the linked page. d&b has no influence over
subsequent changes of linked pages or the content of continuative links on the
other websites.

d&b will respond to reasonable requests to review your personal data
and to correct, amend or delete any inaccuracies. If you have any questions
or comments about the d&b data privacy protection policy, please click on
"Feedback" at the bottom of this page, and use the Feedback form with "Webmaster"

policy. We will post changes to our data privacy protection policy on this page.
