Privacy Policy

Summary

As Doonited UG ("Doonited") we take the privacy of our members very seriously. Please read this Privacy Policy to learn more about how we treat personally identifiable information. We provide this Privacy Policy because you have a right to know what information we collect, how it is protected and used, and the circumstances under which it may be disclosed. If you have comments, suggestions, questions, or concerns about our Privacy Policy, please contact us via email at info [at] doonited.com.

What This Policy Covers.

This policy covers Doonited's treatment of personally identifiable information that we obtain when you visit our website or become a member of Doonited. We regard personally identifiable information as information that someone can use to identify or contact you in person, such as real name, telephone number, birth date, email address, or physical mailing address. Information that we use internally to identify you as a member in our system, such as your selected username, is not considered personally identifiable information.

What This Policy Does Not Cover.

This policy does not cover the privacy practices of third parties that we do not own or control, such as our sponsors and supporters. In addition, we may provide links to other services and on occasion to other sites that may interest you. All of these sites operate independently of Doonited and they have their own privacy or security practices. For your best on-line experience, we encourage you to review their policies before submitting any personal information to them.

1. Information You Provide.

Required Registration Information.
During the registration process, we collect your name, email address. We will send you an email to verify that you are the owner of this address. You will also choose a username that we will use to identify you in our system.

Optional Member Profile Information.
You can choose to provide us with additional optional information about yourself in your member profile, for example you can submit biographical information, further personal data and a photo of yourself.

Access To Your Personal Information.
In general, we make it easy for you to view the personally identifiable information we have collected from you in your member profile, where you can add, edit, or delete it as you see it.

Information Submitted During A Transaction.
During a payment transaction (for example, when you purchase dailygood's through this website), we collect information including your name, billing address, email address, telephone number, and credit card information. This information is collected and used to process your payment transaction.

2. Information We Do Not Collect.

Children.
You must be 13 years of age or older to use our website. Therefore, we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information about children. If you believe that we have information from or about anyone under 13 years of age, please notify us by email at info [at] doonited.com.

3. Information We Track.

Log Files.
Similar to many websites, we gather certain anonymous, non-personal information automatically and store it in web server log files. This information includes internet protocol addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), site entry/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information to improve our site, analyze trends, administer the site, track users' movements around the site, and gather aggregate information about our user base as a whole. Aggregate information is data we collect about a group or category of services or members from which individual member identities have been removed, and therefore does not include your personally identifiable information.

Cookies.
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user's computer for record-keeping purposes. It can also help us understand how our site visitors click to our site, and what pages they view during their visit. Similar to many websites, we store an encrypted cookie on your computer so we can remember you when you come back to our website without requiring you to log-in every time. Cookies also allow us to track and understand the interests of our users to enhance the overall experience on our site.

You can set your web browser software to disable cookies. To do so, please refer to the help section of your specific browser for more information on how to manage or disable cookies. If you disable cookies, you may still view our site, but some areas of our site will not work properly.

Some of our business partners and other third parties, such as sponsors, may also set and access their own cookies on our site. We have no access to or control over these cookies, and, as noted above, this privacy policy does not govern the use of cookies by our business partners or advertisers. Such third parties' use of cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, which may differ from this one. Such third parties do not have access to our cookies.

How information is used

1. In Company Communications.

We use emails and/or prominent notifications on our website as our primary means to inform our members of important service and promotional announcements.

System-related Announcements.
We use your email address to deliver important system-related announcements. Example system-related announcements include: email verification during registration, requests for password reset, important security or server maintenance updates, or policy changes. These service-related announcements are considered a fundamental part of our service, and members cannot opt-out of these email announcements.

Promotional Announcements.
In order to improve the experience for our members, we will offer you the ability to sign up for optional email communications, such as updates from Doonited, periodic (typically monthly) newsletters, or invitations to special events. These communications are enhancements to our service and are entirely optional. We will ask for your consent before sending you promotional communications, and will make it easy for you to unsubscribe from these communications, either through the emails or though your member profile.

DailyGood reminder.
You can choose if you want to receive a reminder for your DailyGoods. This feature is optional and you can turn it off in your member profile.

Recommendation Tool.
If you choose to use our "send-to-a-friend" service to tell a friend about a particular dailygood or general information on our site, we will ask you for your friend's name and email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the site. This information is used only for sending this one-time email and we do not store this information.

Identification Of Authors By Username.
The Doonited website offers opportunities for visitors and members to interact, share information, and submit original content on a blog. This means that to some extent we depend on the contributions and actions of our members to improve the quality of the site experience.

You can easily add, edit, and delete information in your public member profile from the profile page. Whenever you voluntarily post public information to your public member profile, that information can be accessed by the public and can in turn be used by those people to send you unsolicited communications.

As noted above, we may use information collected from our web log files to calculate and publish anonymous, non-personal, aggregate statistics that we believe our members are interested in viewing.
