By using our Website, including by visiting or submitting information to us, you are accepting and consenting to the provisions set forth in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not use our Website.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected through any third party sites that may link to or be accessible from or through the Website. Such sites may have their own data privacy and use policies, which you should review prior to use of any such sites. We are not responsible for the content of any third party websites, any use of those websites, or the privacy practices of those websites.

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of this policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our homepage). We encourage you to review our Privacy Policy whenever you access the Website to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you.
COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
Use of our Website does not require you to provide any personal information, nor do we collect any personal information from you that you do not volunteer. DP only collects personal information from you when you voluntarily provide it to us. For example, if you contact us via email or telephone to provide feedback or to inquire about our programs or activities, we will receive such personal information as you choose to provide. Any such information collected will be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Further, when you access or use the Website, we automatically collect information about you relating to your visits to the Website and browsing activity, including:
- Log information such as information related to your access to and use of the Website, including the type of browser you use, access dates and times, pages viewed, your IP address, and the page you visited before navigating to our Website;
- Device information about the computer or mobile device you use to access our Website, including the hardware model, operating system and version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information; and
- Information collected by cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies (see more on Cookies and Similar Technologies below).
USE OF INFORMATION
We may use your personal information in connection with the purpose for which you submitted it (e.g., to provide you with information that you may request from us), to communicate with you for such purpose, and for any other purpose you consent to.
We may use automatically collected information to:
- Provide, maintain and improve our Website;
- Monitor, audit and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our users and Website;
- Inform our program strategies and philanthropic activities, and conduct internal research, analysis and development;

SHARING OF INFORMATION
We will not share your personal information with third parties, except as provided in this Privacy Policy. We will never sell your personal information, and will not share your personal information for marketing purposes unless you have provided consent for us to do so.
We may share your information:
- with our employees and agents, and our affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, and other related entities, with a business need to know such information;

- with your consent or at your direction.
SECURITY AND DATA RETENTION
Although DP strives to maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect your information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, due to the inherent open nature of the internet, no transmission via the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result of this and other factors beyond our control, we cannot guarantee or assure you that any information you send us or that we collect will be secure, or free from disclosure, alteration, or destruction, and you accept this risk by using the Website.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, we store the information we collect about you for as long as is necessary for the purpose(s) for which we originally collected it, or for other legitimate business purposes, including to meet our legal, regulatory, or other compliance obligations.
