Collection of your Personal Information

Digital Lagoon may collect personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, physical address, or telephone number. Digital Lagoon may also collect anonymous demographic information that is not unique to you, such as your Postal Code, age, gender, preferences, interests, and favorites. Please remember that if you directly disclose personally identifiable or sensitive data through the Services, others may collect and use this information. Digital Lagoon encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from our website to understand how those websites collect, use, and share your information. Digital Lagoon is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of the websites we operate

Use of Your Personal Information

Digital Lagoon does not sell, rent, or lease its customer lists to third parties. Digital Lagoon may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, or provide customer support.

Digital Lagoon keeps track of the pages our customers visit on our websites to determine what Services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within the websites we operate to users whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area. Digital Lagoon uses tracking pixels to collect information that helps us provide our Service to you. Please note that any “do not track” signals sent by your web browser or other mechanisms do not affect the collection of personally identifiable information by Digital Lagoon. In addition, other parties who perform data analytics for Digital Lagoon, such as Google Analytics, may collect personally identifiable information about your online activities when you use our Services. Third-party affiliates of Digital Lagoon may have different policies with respect to “do not track” signals and Digital Lagoon makes no representations concerning such policies.

Digital Lagoon uses tracking to create remarketing audiences of users based on user behavior/visits to our website. Digital Lagoon may also target these users with custom ads based on affinities/interests, geographic, and demographic signals. Digital Lagoon only shares browser-level data through third-party vendor tracking such as Google Analytics. Users can opt out of these advertising features by visiting Google or resources like the NAI consumer opt-out page. Digital Lagoon may use email addresses to target users with custom ads through 3rd party advertising platforms. Digital Lagoon shares customer information with third parties to perform services (advertising) on our behalf.

Digital Lagoon may disclose personal information when we are required to or we believe it is appropriate to comply with the law (e.g., a lawful subpoena, warrant, or court order); to enforce or apply this Privacy Policy or our other policies or agreements; to initiate, render, bill, and collect for amounts owed to us; to protect our or our users’ rights, property or safety; to protect our users from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of the Services; or if we believe that an emergency involving the danger of death or serious physical injury to any person requires or justifies disclosure of personal information. Information about our customers, including personal information, may be disclosed as part of any merger, acquisition, debt financing, or sale of company assets, as well as in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which personal information could be transferred to third parties as one of Digital Lagoon business assets. In such an event, we will attempt to notify you before your personal information is transferred, but you may not have the right to opt out of any such transfer.

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. You can accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to experience the interactive features of the Services fully.

Comments

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

Comments and 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 you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

Security of your Personal Information

Digital Lagoon secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. In addition, Digital Lagoon secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment protected from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

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 must keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

How Long We Retain Your Data

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

For users who 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.

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 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.
