The Douglas Stewart Company is committed to safeguarding the privacy of all visitors to www.dstewart.com (the "Web site"). We have posted this Privacy Policy to help you understand what information we may gather and how we may use it. We believe your personal privacy is a fundamental right, and we are committed to clear, open, and accessible privacy policies.

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy "we", "our" and "us" refers to The Douglas Stewart Company and any reference to "you" or "your" means you, the User.

Our site provides links to other Web sites that we do not control. Please check with those Web sites to determine their privacy policies.

We hope that you feel our Privacy Policy explains clearly how we gather and use any data we may collect from you on our Web site. We have used our best efforts to compose a policy that is fair, respectful and protects your privacy. Your feedback is important to us. Please email any questions, comments or suggestions to privacy@dstewart.com.

  1. Information that we collect from you
    You can visit parts of this Web site without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. However, The Douglas Stewart Company is a wholesale distributor that serves value-added resellers and retail business. To provide a business-to-business service much of this Web site is password protected. We also protect Personally Identifiable Information needed to verify your eligibility to purchase products. We may collect information from you through the use of online forms and through email, telephone, fax, and mail correspondence that we have with you. You will not be required to provide additional information we request that is not needed to provide the products and services you request. If you choose to provide such additional information this will mean that you have given, and we accept, your explicit consent for us to use that information for the reasons described in this policy or as explained at the time you provide it.
  2. Use of information collected
    We may track your domain name or IP address. For many business computers the IP address is a globally unique identifier. Multiple users of the same computer will share the same IP address. However, in cases where companies do not host their own email servers their ISP will allocate an IP address only for the duration of online sessions. IP addresses are never shared with third parties.

    Domain name information that we collect is not otherwise used to personally identify you and instead is aggregated to measure the number of visits.

    When Personally Identifiable Information, such as your name and email address, is collected from you with your consent (for example, through the use of on-line forms or via email, etc.) we generally let you know at the time of collection how we will use that personal information. We may use the personal information you provide or which we collect via this Web site for the purposes of:

    • Providing goods or services that you have requested from us.
    • Billing you and contacting you where necessary concerning your orders.
    • Responding to your inquiries or to process your requests in relation to your information.
    • Providing and personalizing our services.
    • Administering records of our subscription services.
    • Carrying out market research.
    • Maintaining information as a reference tool or general resource.
    • Making the Website easier for you to use.
    • Helping you to quickly find services and information on the Website.
    • Where necessary, crime prevention and prosecution of offenders.
    • Reporting sales information to our suppliers.

    Except with your permission or as provided herein, The Douglas Stewart Company will not sell, trade or rent personal information about you to third parties.

    Without your permission we may use and disclose non-personally identifiable information in aggregate to administer, support, improve or develop our business.
