We hope that you find our website to be a useful resource.

To accomplish this, we responsibly collect and utilize personally identifiable information. We respect your privacy, and this Privacy Policy documents our commitment to safeguard and treat your privacy and the personal information that we collect online with reasonable care and in strict compliance with applicable law.

This policy was implemented as of September 23, 2014 and applies to information collected on this website and those of our affiliates and covers the following areas:

• What personally identifiable information is collected by Doran & Cawthorne (D&C) or by any third party through our website

• What choices are available to you as a user of our website with respect to collection, use and distribution of the information
• What types of security procedures are in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of information under our control

This Privacy Policy applies only to our website and information collected for us or by us through our website. It does not apply to any third party site or service linked to our website or recommended or referred by our website or by our staff, nor does it apply to any offline activities.

1. Information Collection and Use

Doran & Cawthorne (D&C) collects two different types of information through our website: anonymous information and personally identifiable information.

Anonymous Information. We collect and store anonymous, aggregate information (such as IP addresses, browser types, search engines, internet service provider, referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks) from all visitors to our website. This anonymous information is only used in the aggregate to analyze trends, administer the website, diagnose problems, track visitor movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information. We may provide this anonymous information in aggregate form to other parties or use it for our own insight or marketing purposes.

We also use cookies and image tags to collect certain usage information from all customers and visitors to our website. A cookie is a small text file that a website can place on your computer's hard drive or mobile device's memory in order to collect information about your activities on our website. Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you have the option to change your browser setting to decline them. Accepting cookies does not give us access to your computer or any personal information about you.

Third-party advertising companies may also place cookies to measure the effectiveness of ads and provide advertisements about goods and services that may interest you. No personal information about you is collected during this process.

Doran & Cawthorne (D&C) partners with Google to collect information about how users navigate our website. Google uses this information only to generate anonymous visitor profiles, which do not contain personally identifiable information. To learn more about how Google collects and manages information, or to opt out, please visit https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

Among the Google products we use is Google Analytics, a web analytics service. Information generated by cookies about your use of our website is transmitted to a Google server and stored there. Google uses this information to evaluate your use of our website and compile reports on website activity. To opt out of Google Analytics, please visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

We may also use interest-based advertising features, including remarketing, with Google Analytics in connection with other Google services. Remarketing lets us reach people who have previously visited our website with relevant messages. You can opt out of Google's use of cookies by visiting Google's Ads Settings or opt out of DoubleClick's use of cookies by visiting the DoubleClick opt-out page or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

Personally Identifiable Information. We require the submission of certain personally identifiable information when you use some services available on our website. Our website uses a variety of contact forms and tracking phone numbers for visitors to request information, products, and services. We collect contact information such as email address or phone number, and in some cases demographic information such as zip code. We use this information to get in touch with prospective customers about their requests and to send additional information about our products and services.

Some browsers have a "do not track" feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. These features are not yet uniform, so we are not currently set up to respond to those signals.

2. Our Use Restrictions on Your Personally Identifiable Information

Doran & Cawthorne (D&C) does not sell, rent, or share personally identifiable information to or with any third party not affiliated with or owned by Doran & Cawthorne (D&C), except service providers who may assist us in areas such as promotions, credit checks, data storage, and order processing. We will never give or sell your personally identifiable information to unaffiliated third parties to be used for sending you unsolicited commercial offers. We may use your personal information to send you commercial offers from Doran & Cawthorne (D&C) or its affiliated companies. You may opt out of these marketing campaigns as described in the "Opting Out" section below.

3. Third Party Information About You

4. Our Agents and Vendors

Doran & Cawthorne (D&C) may use other companies and/or individuals to perform functions described in this Privacy Policy on our behalf, including marketing, credit checking, data and network hosting, service reminders, order processing, and administering email services. Such parties only have access to the personal information needed to perform these functions and may not use or store the information for any other purpose.

5. Disclosure of Personal Information As Required By Law or Otherwise
