Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used.

Diopus does not trade, share or sell users, contributors, donors / business partners addresses or other personal information with any third party for any reason.

You may be asked, in these cases, to provide some personal information such as the following:

Note that the website diopus.com does NOT collect any personal information.
The Diopus.com website also collects “visitor data”—certain other information that cannot be used to identify you personally when you visit our website. This visitor data may include internet protocol (IP) address, browser type, the webpage you were visiting before you came to our website, pages of our website that you visit, the time spent on those pages, information you search for on our website, access times and dates, and other statistics. Visitor data does NOT contain any personally identifiable information (PII).
Like most websites, we also use “cookies” to save some contact information you have previously provided, to better understand how you interact with the website, to gather general visitor information and track visits to our website, and to make the user experience more streamlined. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer’s hard disk for record-keeping purposes. PII is not captured in such cookies, nor does Diopus.com use cookies to mine PII. You can always set your browser to warn of cookies being placed, and then choose which cookies you want to accept. Standard browsers also allow you to easily delete cookies currently on your computer.
Diopus.com uses the following Google Analytics Advertising Features on our website: Demographics and Interests Reporting, Geography, and Site Behavior. We use this information to help deliver more relevant information to you based on your location, past interactions with our site, and demographic information. We do not store this information in an individually identifiable format, and we do not share this information with third parties. If you wish to opt-out of Google Analytics Advertising Features, you may do so here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.
THE WAY WE USE INFORMATION
We use the information you provide about yourself to update your work, utilize coursework, respond to your inquiries, send you administrative communications, let you know about issues or events we think you’ll be interested in, let you know about opportunities to get involved or take action, and statistically analyze user behavior and activity for research and measurement activities.
We never use or share PII provided to use online in ways unrelated to the ones described above unless specifically agreed to by you or to comply with legal requirements, such as a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena, or court order. We may employ third party companies and individuals to provide services on our behalf, to perform website-related services (such as maintenance services, database management, web analytics, and improvement of the website’s features) or to assist us in analyzing how our website is used. These third parties have access to your PII only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
OUR COMMITMENT TO DATA SECURITY
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, security, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. No method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100 percent secure. In the event of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your un-encrypted electronically stored PII, we will notify you as quickly as possible via email or conspicuous posting on this website.
