We only collect personally identifiable information regarding users of the Sites as described in this Policy.
Our server does not collect any personally identifiable information about our users unless such information is voluntarily provided by the user.

We may also collect any of the following types of personally identifiable information regarding users of the Sites:
The personally identifiable information that Dakota collects is used by Dakota for a variety of purposes, for example to provide the services offered through the Sites to users of the Sites, to customize content and/or layout of the Sites for each individual user, to notify users about updates to and activities on the Sites and about goods and services that we feel may be of interest, to improve the content of the Sites, to contact users for marketing purposes, and to contact users for information verification purposes.
Except as noted in this Policy, personally identifiable information collected on the Sites is NOT shared with third parties without your express consent.
In order to utilize portions of the Sites, including the support knowledgebase portion of the Sites, you must be a registered user of the Sites. Registered users of the Sites will receive an account on the Sites and will be provided with a username and password for purposes of accessing their account and the portions of the Sites available to registered users. When accessing the portions of the Sites available to registered users, registered users will be asked for their username and password. Always remember that in order to protect your privacy you should not share your username or password with others. In addition, you should not post any personally identifiable information, such as home address or credit card information, to the Sites unless you want that information to be accessible by other users of the Sites, as information posted on the Sites will be made available to other users of the Sites.
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personally identifiable information of certain users of the Sites when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order, or legal process served on our Sites. In such a situation we will use reasonable efforts to provide the users notice of this disclosure in advance, to the extent reasonably possible under the circumstances.
We may enhance our user database information with third party data to better target our advertising and provide pertinent offers we think our users would be interested in. Certain summary demographics are also used in our research product offerings. Individual personally identifiable information is never used in our research product offering and is never tied back to an individual user or resold for any purposes.
At times it may be necessary to send out service related announcements. For instance, if our Sites or any of the services offered through the Sites are temporarily suspended for maintenance we might send users an email. Generally, users may not opt-out of these communications, though they can deactivate their account on the Sites. These communications are not promotional in nature.
We provide you with the choice whether to receive certain emails.
You may ‘opt-in’ to receive certain emails. We also provide you the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having your personally identifiable information used for certain purposes when we ask for this information.

Sometimes, we utilize the services of a third party to help us understand this information better, though the information that is disclosed to these entities remains at all times in anonymous and non-personally identifiable form. Other than improving the Sites and providing our users with the best experience possible, we make no other use of this information.
