  • Automatic Information: Like many Websites, we use "cookies" (small files placed on your hard drive) to obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses DiscountMetrics.com or advertisements and other content served by or on behalf of Discount Metrics on other websites. Cookies enable our systems to recognize your browser, provide certain features within DiscountMetrics.com, and facilitate a cleaner and more customized user experience.

We may also use browser data such as cookies, Flash cookies (also known as Flash Local Shared Objects), or similar data on certain parts of our Web site for fraud prevention and other purposes. During some visits we may use software tools such as JavaScript to measure and collect session information, including page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from the page.

Use of Information

recognize the importance of user information and are committed to safeguarding this information as responsibly as possible. Thus, we share customer information only within our affiliated companies and only as described below:

Protection of Discount Metrics and Others: We release account and other personal information when we believe such release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Terms of Service and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Discount Metrics, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from users for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Policy.

Transfer in the Event of Sale or Change of Control: If the ownership of all or substantially all of our business changes, we may transfer your information to the new owner so that the service can continue to operate. In such a case, your information would remain subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy.

With Your Consent: Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.

Security Measures

We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input.

It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Always be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

Your Options

As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed for registration, or other features throughout our Website.

You can add or update certain information in your My Profile page at any time. However, please note, we usually keep copies of all priors versions for our records.
