DFS Marketing keeps track of the websites and pages our customers visit within the DFS Marketing website in order to determine what DFS Marketing services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within DFS Marketing to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area. For example, we may upgrade those parts of the website that are heavily visited or optimize the website to work more efficiently with certain operating systems.
Certain parts of the DFS Marketing website may require you to submit some identifying information and use individual passwords in order to access some information. If you provide this information, it is kept secure. DFS Marketing treats this information as confidential. DFS Marketing will use this information only to satisfy your requests for information regarding DFS Marketing or the products we offer.

We do not share any of the personal information collected on our website with any unaffiliated entities. We do work with third parties that provide services to us, including, but not limited to, website hosting, information technology, and data analysis, so we may share your information with them so they can provide those services. We may share personal information with third parties to permit them to send you marketing communications if you have opted into such sharing. We share any personal information you provide on our website for the purposes stated on the page where we collected the information and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
DFS Marketing’s website may share your personal information with unaffiliated third parties only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with applicable law or comply with the legal process served on DFS Marketing or the site; protect and defend the rights or property of DFS Marketing; act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of DFS Marketing or the public; in litigation, investigations, and other legal matters where the data is relevant; in consideration of the potential sale or transfer of DFS Marketing or some of our assets or in the context of similar business negotiations; to identify you to anyone to whom you send messages through the website, and to enforce the Legal Notice.
Other Information: The DFS Marketing website uses “cookies” and other technologies to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize DFS Marketing pages, or register with the DFS Marketing site or services, a cookie helps DFS Marketing to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information. When you return to the same DFS Marketing website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the DFS Marketing features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the DFS Marketing services or websites you visit.
An IP Address may be identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever a user accesses the website, along with the time of the visit and the page(s) that were visited. Collecting IP Addresses is standard practice and is done automatically by many websites, applications, and other services. We use IP Addresses for purposes such as calculating usage levels of the website and helping diagnose server problems.
If you access email or social networking services through our website or social media, we may allow those services to collect certain anonymous information about your visits to our website so they may provide you with advertisements about the goods or services they offer that might be of interest to you. These third-party services may use cookies or web beacons to obtain the information.
Anonymous and Aggregated Information: We may aggregate personal information so that it does not personally identify you or any other user of the website (for example, we may aggregate personal information to analyze the percentage of our users who have a particular zip code). We may remove personally identifiable information to create anonymous data. We use and share anonymous and aggregate information for historical, statistical, or business planning purposes. Additionally, we may use and share this information for any purpose except where we are required to do otherwise under applicable law. If we are required to treat this information as personal information under applicable law, then we may use it as described above in “Other Information,” as well as for the purposes for which we use and share information.

Links to Other Websites: The website may contain links to websites operated by third parties. If you provide personal information to any third party’s website, your transaction will occur on that website (not DFS Marketing’s websites) and that website operator will collect the personal information you provide and will be subject to its privacy policies. We encourage you to read the legal notice, terms of use, and privacy notices posted on those sites. This Privacy Notice does not apply to your use of and activity on those other third-party websites. We provide links through the website to other websites only as a convenience, and the inclusion of these links does not imply endorsement of the linked site. We have no responsibility or liability for your use of third-party websites. Please note that we are not responsible for the collection, usage, and disclosure policies and practices (including the data security practices) of other organizations, such as Facebook, Apple, Google, Microsoft, RIM, or any other app developer, app providers, social media platform provider, operating system provider, wireless service provider or device manufacturer, including any personal information you disclose to other organizations through or in connection with our mobile applications or other websites.
Our Privacy Commitment to Applicants for Employment and Contractor Positions: We may collect information you provide, including personal contact information, education, and work history, in order to process and consider your application. We will not sell your application information to unaffiliated third parties for marketing purposes. The information on your application may be shared with background check services and our affiliates and used for certain regulatory, compliance, and legal purposes.
Security of your Personal Information: DFS Marketing takes reasonable precautions to secure your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Since no method of transmitting or storing data can be guaranteed to be secure, we cannot ensure the security of any information you transmit to us through or in connection with the website.
