We keep contact form submissions for a year for customer service purposes, but we do not use the information submitted through them for marketing purposes.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to save your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

We also use cookies for marketing purposes to associate user activity with the third party website that referred the user to our site, or to associate user activity that DMT World referred to a third party website, such as Google.

Shopping and Purchasing Data

While you visit our site, we’ll track:

  • Products you’ve viewed: we’ll use this to, for example, show you products you’ve recently viewed
  • Location, IP address, and browser type: we’ll use this for purposes like estimating taxes and shipping
  • Shipping address: we’ll ask you to enter this so we can, for instance, estimate shipping before you place an order, and send you the order!

We’ll also use cookies to keep track of cart contents while you’re browsing our site.

When you purchase from us, we’ll ask you to provide information including your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, phone number, credit card/payment details and optional account information like username and password. We’ll use this information for purposes, such as, to:

  • Send you information about your account and order
  • Respond to your requests, including refunds and complaints
  • Process payments and prevent fraud
  • Set up your account for our store
  • Comply with any legal obligations we have, such as calculating taxes
  • Improve our store offerings
  • Send you marketing messages, if you choose to receive them

If you create an account, we will store your name, address, email and phone number, which will be used to populate the checkout for future orders.

We generally store information about you for as long as we need the information for the purposes for which we collect and use it, and we are not legally required to continue to keep it. For example, we will store order information for 5 years for tax and accounting purposes. This includes your name, email address, and billing and shipping addresses.

We will also store comments or reviews if you choose to leave them.

Comments and Reviews

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics, which collects the following sort of data: anonymous (ad serving domains, browser type, demographics, language settings, page views, time/date), and pseudonymous (IP address).

We also use Yoast SEO, which collects the following sort of data: anonymous (ad serving domains, browser type, demographics, language settings, page views, time/date), and pseudonymous (IP address).

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Who we share your data with

We don’t share your personal information with third parties. Only aggregated, anonymized data is periodically transmitted to external services to help us improve the Website and service. We currently use Google Analytics (traffic analysis, SEO optimization), ConvertKit (mailing list management) and WooCommerce (ecommerce), as well as a payment processor, shipping software, and Facebook for marketing purposes. We listed below what data these third parties extract exactly. Feel free to check out their own Privacy Policies to find out more (linked below).

  • ConvertKit: name and email of our subscription list, Country of Origin
  • WooCommerce: name, email, the address of buyers, as well as products sold and when. Note that we do not collect credit card information on this site! We never see it; it is processed by a secure payment gateway, Mijireh.
  • Our secure payment processors, Stripe and PayPal,  store the following:
    • Name
    • Email
    • Address
    • Phone
    • City/State/Zip
    • Unique payment identifier
    • Payment provider identifier
  • Our shipping software (ShippingEasy) shares data with shipping providers to calculate shipping rates or print shipping labels.

More generally, We do not share personal information you have provided to us without your consent, unless:

  • doing so is appropriate to carry out your own request;
  • we believe it’s needed to enforce our Terms of Service, or that is legally required;
  • we believe it’s needed to detect, prevent or address fraud, security or technical issues;
  • otherwise protect our property, legal rights, or that of others.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. Contact us to make a request of this nature.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service, Askimet.

Additional information

How we protect your data

This site uses encrypted SSL security. This site does not store credit card information at any time. We can’t be hacked for your credit card numbers, because we never have them. We maintain the latest versions of software, update our database regularly, and will never sell your data to third party companies.

What data breach procedures we have in place

If our security software suggests we have had a data breach, our initial protocol is:

  • Changing all passwords.
  • Creating a fresh backup.
  • Identifying the hack and removing any malevolent code and means of access.
  • Contacting any supervisory authority required.
  • Contacting impacted customers.
  • Looking at preventative measures that will prevent the hack from happening again, and taking action.

What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data

We do not engage in any profiling with user data beyond reaching out to past customers via email with information about new sales offers.

Who on our team has access

Members of our team have access to the information you provide us. For example, both Administrators and Shop Managers can access:

  • Order information like what was purchased, when it was purchased and where it should be sent, and
  • Customer information like your name, email address, and billing and shipping information.

Our team members have access to this information to help fulfill orders, process refunds and support you.

Our contact information

You can reach us through emailing admin @ dmtworld.net.

Social Media Interaction

Any information submitted through our social media software is uploaded to our servers and stored there. All data is viewable to the Administrator and Staff. Viewer rights based on user data is set by the user under their profile security controls. We do not share your personal information including email and address with online marketers. We do have the rights to share images and posts shared on the wall or in blogs with online media services through RSS feeds.

Content on DMTworld.net/social is guarded internally unless outside legal requirements deem the information must be released. At that point, we will comply. Based on the sensitivity of the topic, it is not possible for us to determine what is legal in your state, or country where you reside. Sharing personal information or illegal activities is at your own risk.

If you would like to have your data removed at any time please contact admin @ DMTWorld.net and we will remove your account and all data associated with that profile. Backup data may contain your information for up to 60 days after removal due to the backup process.

We do not include any internal tracking software (such as Google tracking code, or Facebook Pixels) on DMTWorld.net/social outside of our own internal software required to run the service.

Though we have taken the time to encode and remove as many security threats as possible, and constantly update the software which runs our websites, there is the possibility that hackers or data breaches can expose your information.

Abusive Behavior or Objectionable Content

DMT World does not allow users to provide objectionable content on our network. If for any reason a user post content that can be defined as objectionable to our staff or other users, we will remove the content and possibly the user who posted or submitted the information. Additionally abusive behavior to other users is prohibited and follows the same guidelines.
