Information protection

We do not use vulnerability scanning or PCI-standard scanning. We only provide articles and information; we never ask for credit card numbers. We use regular malware scanning.

Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights and are required to keep the information confidential. Sensitive information you supply is encrypted via SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology.

We implement a variety of security measures when a user enters, submits, or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your personal information. All transactions are processed through a gateway provider and are not stored or processed on our servers.

We do not use cookies for tracking purposes.

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can turn off all cookies in your browser settings. Since each browser is different, check your browser's Help menu for how to modify cookie settings.

Third-party links. We do not include or offer third-party products or services on our website.

Google & AdSense

Google's advertising requirements are summarized in Google's Advertising Principles. We use Google AdSense on our website.

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it to serve ads to our users based on previous visits to our site and other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of the use of advertising cookies by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network privacy policy.

We have implemented the following: We, along with third-party vendors such as Google, use first-party cookies (e.g. Google Analytics) and third-party cookies (e.g. DoubleClick) or other third-party identifiers to compile data regarding user interactions with ad impressions and other ad service functions as they relate to our website.

Opting out: You can set preferences for how Google advertises to you via the Google Ad Settings page. You can also opt out via the Network Advertising Initiative Opt Out page or the Google Analytics Opt Out Browser add-on.

California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach extends to any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers, requiring a conspicuous privacy policy stating exactly what information is collected and with whom it is shared. Learn more about CalOPPA.

According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:

You will be notified of any Privacy Policy changes on our Privacy Policy page.

You can change your personal information by emailing us.

How does our site handle Do Not Track signals? We honor Do Not Track signals and do not plant cookies or use advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place.

Does our site allow third-party behavioral tracking? We do not allow third-party behavioral tracking.

COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act)

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control of the collection of personal information from children under 13. The Federal Trade Commission enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online.

We do not specifically market to children under 13. We do not let third parties (including ad networks or plug-ins) collect PII from children under 13.

Fair information practices

The Fair Information Practice Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws globally. In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices, we will take the following responsive action should a data breach occur:

We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle: individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires that individuals have enforceable rights against data users and recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

CAN-SPAM Act

The CAN-SPAM Act sets rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped, and spells out penalties for violations.

We collect your email address in order to: send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.

To be in accordance with CAN-SPAM, we agree to:

To unsubscribe from future emails, email us at scott@desap.io and we will promptly remove you from all correspondence.
