When Direectory discloses information
Direectory does not share your Personal Information with other organizations for their marketing or promotional uses without your prior express consent.
Anyway, Direectory may disclose Personal Information if required to do so by law or in the good–faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with state and federal laws or respond to a court order, judicial or other government warrant, or legal process in the manner required by the requesting entity.
Your choices
You may, of course, decline to share your Personal Information with Direectory, in which case Direectory may not be able to provide to you features and functionality found on the Direectory Website. Without advertising-income, we can't keep making the Direectory Website amazing.
You may update, correct, or delete your user information and preferences by sending us a request at: info@direectory.com. We will respond to your request in a timely manner.
You do not need to set up a user ID and password to use the Direectory Website because we do not require you to establish your identity when you merely visit our site.
Our commitment to data security
Direectory uses commercially reasonable physical, administrative, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your Personal Information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to Direectory, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission of information, Direectory exercises commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or administrative safeguards.
If Direectory learns of a security systems breach, then we may attempt to notify you directly and/or Direectory may post a notice on the Direectory Website if a security breach occurs.
