information we collect when you or your computer interact
with our website. By accessing

Participating Merchant Policies
Related services and
offerings with links from this website, including vendor
sites, have their own privacy statements that can be
viewed by clicking on the corresponding links within each
respective website. Online merchants and others who
participate in DirtWerkz services are encouraged to
participate in industry privacy initiatives and to take a
responsible attitude towards consumer privacy. However,
since we do not have direct control over the policies or
practices of participating merchants and other third
parties, we are not responsible for the privacy practices
or contents of those sites. We recommend and encourage
that you always review the privacy policies of merchants
and other third parties before you provide any personal
information or complete any transaction with such parties.
3.
Information We
Collect and How We Use It
DirtWerkz collects certain
information from and about its users three ways: directly
from our Web Server logs, the user, and with Cookies.
a.
Web Server Logs.
When you visit our Website, we
may track information to administer the site and analyze
its usage. Examples of information we may track include:
-
Your Internet protocol
address.
-
The kind of browser or
computer you use.
-
Number of links you click
within the site.
-
State or country from which
you accessed the site.
-
Date and time of your visit.
-
Name of your Internet
service provider.
-
Web page you linked to our
site from.
-
Pages you viewed on the
site.
b. Use of Cookies
DirtWerkz may use cookies to
personalize or enhance your user experience. A cookie is
a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a
Web page server. 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. For example, if you personalize a web page, or
navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall
your specific information on subsequent visits. Hence,
this simplifies the process of delivering relevant content
and eases site navigation by providing and saving your
preferences and login information as well as providing
personalized functionality.
DirtWerkz reserves the right
to share aggregated site statistics with partner
companies, but does not allow other companies to place
cookies on our website unless there is a temporary,
overriding customer value (such as merging into
DirtWerkz.com a site that relies on third-party cookies).
You have the ability to accept
or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically
accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser
setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by
changing your browser settings then be aware that this may
disable some of the functionality on our Website.

Personal Information Users
Visitors to our website can
register to purchase services. When you register, we will
request some personal information such as name, address,
email, telephone number or facsimile number, account
number and other relevant information. If you are
purchasing a service, we will request financial
information. Any financial information we collect is used
only to bill you for the services you purchased. If you
purchase by credit card, this information may be forwarded
to your credit card provider. For other types of
registrations, we will ask for the relevant information.
You may also be asked to disclose personal information to
us so that we can provide assistance and information to
you. For example, such data may be warranted in order to
provide online technical support and troubleshooting.
We will not disclose
personally identifiable information we collect from you to
third parties without your permission except to the extent
necessary including:
§
To fulfill your
service requests for services.
§
To protect
ourselves from liability,
§
To respond to
legal process or comply with law, or
§
In connection
with a merger, acquisition, or liquidation of the company.
4.
Use of Web Beacons
or GIF files
DirtWerkz / www.dirtwerkz.com
Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web
beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs – that
allow DirtWerkz to count users who have visited those
pages and to deliver co-branded services. DirtWerkz may
include Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or
newsletters in order to determine whether messages have
been opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may
be placed by third party service providers to help
determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns
or email communications. These Web beacons may be used by
these service providers to place a persistent cookie on
your computer. This allows the service provider to
recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages
or emails and compile anonymous information in relation to
those page views, which in turn enables us and our service
providers to learn which advertisements and emails bring
you to our website and how you use the site. DirtWerkz
prohibits Web beacons from being used to collect or access
your personal information.
5. Accessing Web
Account Information
We will provide you with the
means to ensure that personally identifiable information
in your web account file is correct and current. You may
review this information by contacting us by sending an
email to our support attendant –
info@dirtwerkz.com.
6.
Changes to this
Statement
DirtWerkz has the discretion
to occasionally update this privacy statement. When we
do, we will also revise the “updated” date at the top of
this Privacy page. We encourage you to periodically
review this privacy statement to stay informed about how
we are helping to protect the personal information we
collect. Your continued use of the service constitutes
your agreement to this privacy statement and any updates.
