PRIVACY AND INFORMATION HANDLING POLICY.
Because WDYLLC routinely collects and maintains data--including
information about our visitors, customers, and clients--during the
normal course of operation, WDYLLC posts this policy to describe and
explain what information we collect and how we handle information in
our custody.
WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT:
- Network Service Connections
- All network service connections to or from our networks will be
logged, with date, time, source, destination, protocol, and volume of
information transmitted. When applicable, we may also link
authentication information to specific communication sessions. We do
not track your web browsing habits or e-mail activity except as it
involves direct transactions with our servers, as we do not directly
control user access to the Internet (even for dial-up users).
- E-mail transactions involving our servers
- Transmission E-mail transactions--which include
the date/time, sender, recipient, and size of a message--are also
recorded. Note that this does not in any way show the content of the
communication. It shows only the existence of a communication.
E-mail logins and access transactions--which include your user
identifier, source IP address, total volume of data transferred,
access protocols used, and the date/time of those transactions. In
cases where errors (including authentication failure errors) the
system may capture substantial amounts of the technical transaction
data payload for analysis.
- World Wide Web activity involving our servers
- All online web page, image, or other web-accessible content
requests are logged, including the common usage information associated
with the request: IP address of request, authentication information
provided (if any), date and time of the request, what data object(s)
were requested, whether the request was successful, how much
information was sent, what web page link you followed to get to our
resources (if provided), and what browsing program you used (if
provided).
- We do not use cookies outside of authenticated subsystems,
and such cookies are used only to facilitate the performance of
functions such as saving your personal preferences, maintaining the
session state, and so forth in a single web browsing session
- We do not use persistent or third-party cookies.
- Web Forms and e-mail to WDYLLC
- Any information you provide to any online form on our servers or
by e-mail to us is collected and recorded. Because these methods are
generally used to provide services upon request, we may disclose
information provided to us as reasonably required to service your specific
request.
WHY DO WE COLLECT THIS DATA? Most of the data collected
by WDYLLC is collected to allow the tracking, debuging, and resolution
of technical problems and to measure the performance efficiency of the
system. Some data is collected to facilitate a more active defense
against network-based attackers, to contain costs, and to prevent and
detect misuse and abuse. Some information is collected so that we can
answer your questions or provide services to you. These are all
industry standard purposes necessary to ensure the operational
integrity of our systems and the services we offer.
WHEN WILL WE SHARE INFORMATION IN OUR CUSTODY? Generally
speaking, WDYLLC does not share any information it gathers with any
third parties, and at no point does the information we collect leave
our direct control except as reasonably required to provide you with
services you've requested. WDYLLC does not sell the information it
collects through our servers, nor does WDYLLC share personally
identifying information with anyone without prior consent and
agreement. Please note that we take certain kinds of requests as
implicitly giving permission to share minimal information with third
parties as required to service your requests, including but not limited to:
- Debugging and technical support requests, as necessary to
investigate or resolve reported symptoms and problems,
- Abuse reports (including but not limited to spam and DMCA
notices), so as to provide our subscriber with an opportunity to
reasonably defend against spurrious claims or as necessary to allow
the subscriber to protect his or her interest, to the extent permitted
by our terms of service.
In the unlikely event that we become part of a network security
or law enforcement investigation, or if ordered by court order or as
otherwise required by law, we may opt to share some or all information
gathered. Your submission of any information and browsing of this
site is considered consent to this information usage policy.
