De Groot Ventures Inc&#8217;s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how De Groot Ventures Inc&#8217;s visitors use its website. From time to time, De Groot Ventures Inc may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">De Groot Ventures Inc also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments. \u00a0De Groot Ventures Inc only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that\u00a0commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #222222;\">Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">Certain visitors to De Groot Ventures Inc&#8217;s websites choose to interact with De Groot Ventures Inc in ways that require De Groot Ventures Inc to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that De Groot Ventures Inc gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. In each case, De Groot Ventures Inc collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor\u2019s interaction with De Groot Ventures Inc. De Groot Ventures Inc does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #222222;\">Aggregated Statistics<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">De Groot Ventures Inc may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to its websites. \u00a0De Groot Ventures Inc may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, De Groot Ventures Inc does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #222222;\">Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">De Groot Ventures Inc discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on De Groot Ventures Inc&#8217;s behalf or to provide services available at De Groot Ventures Inc&#8217;s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using De Groot Ventures Inc&#8217;s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. De Groot Ventures Inc will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, De Groot Ventures Inc discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when De Groot Ventures Inc believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of De Groot Ventures Inc, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered\u00a0user of an De Groot Ventures Inc website and have supplied your email address, De Groot Ventures Inc may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what\u2019s going on with De Groot Ventures Inc and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. De Groot Ventures Inc takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #222222;\">Cookies<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #222222;\">A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor\u2019s computer, and that the visitor\u2019s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns.
