At Deadlines On Demand, we know how important personal privacy is to you. Based on our concern in protecting the privacy of our customers, we have adopted the following privacy policy, continuing our commitment to you, our valued customer:

  1. Your Expectation of Privacy. Deadlines On Demand recognizes that you expect privacy and security for your personal information. We also understand the need to safeguard sensitive information about you. Therefore, we maintain standards designed to prevent misuse of such information.

  2. Collection, Retention, and Use of Information about You. Deadlines On Demand collects, retains and uses information about you only where we reasonably believe that it will help administer our business or provide products, services and other opportunities to you. We collect and retain information about you only for specific business purposes, and we will tell you why we are collecting and retaining it upon your request. We use information (i) to protect and administer your account(s) and record(s), (ii) to comply with certain laws and regulations, (iii) to help us design or improve our products and services, and (iv) to better understand your needs so that we can provide you with quality products and superior service.

Deadlines On Demand aggregates the information it collects from this website. Deadlines On Demand uses cookies (see Use of Cookies below), and outside services such as Webtrends® to collect information and track hits on this website.

  3. Maintenance of Information. Deadlines On Demand has procedures to help assure that your information is accurate, current and complete, in accordance with reasonable commercial standards. While some of these procedures may be required by federal or state law, we have implemented additional procedures to maintain accurate, current and complete information, including processes to review and update information and to remove old information.

  4. Limiting Access to Information. Deadlines On Demand has procedures that limit employee access to personally identifiable information to those employees with a business reason to know such information about you. We train our employees about the importance of confidentiality and customer privacy through standard operating procedures and other office policies.

  5. Security Procedures. Deadlines On Demand maintains security standards and procedures to help prevent unauthorized access to our networks and to confidential information about you. Deadlines On Demand uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption when transmitting certain kinds of information. [An icon resembling a padlock is displayed on the bottom of most browser windows during SSL transactions that involve credit cards and other forms of payment.] Any time Deadlines On Demand asks you for a credit card number on Deadlines On Demand for payment or for verification purposes, it will be SSL encrypted. The information you provide will be stored securely on our servers. For credit card processing, we use Authorize.net with 128 bit encryption. Although Deadlines On Demand takes appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that those standards and procedures will always be effective or that personally identifiable information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.

  6. Disclosure Restrictions. Deadlines On Demand does not reveal specific information about your account(s), record(s) or other personally identifiable data to parties outside our affiliated business partners, for independent use, unless (i) you request or authorize it, (ii) the information is provided to help complete a transaction initiated by you, (iii) the information is provided to a reputable credit bureau or similar information reporting agency, (iv) the information is provided to a third party affiliated with Deadlines On Demand in accordance with Section 7 below, (v) Deadlines On Demand believes in good faith that disclosure is required to (x) conform to applicable law or comply with legal process served on Deadlines On Demand or its customers, (y) protect or defend the rights or property of Deadlines On Demand or its customers, or (z) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of Deadlines On Demand’s Website users, customers or the public, or (vi) the disclosure otherwise is lawfully permitted or required. Except as otherwise provided above, we do not provide account(s), record(s) or personal information to non-Deadlines On Demand companies or business affiliates for the purpose of independent telemarketing or direct mail marketing.

  7. Disclosure to Affiliated Third Parties. We may use third parties that we refer to as affiliated third parties to facilitate or outsource one or more aspects of the business, product and service operations that we provide to you and therefore we may provide some of your personal information directly to these affiliated third parties. [These affiliated third parties are subject to confidentiality agreements with us and other legal restrictions that prohibit their use of the information we provide them for any other purpose except to facilitate the specific outsourced operation, unless you have explicitly agreed or given your prior permission to them for additional uses] In some instances, the affiliated third party may collect information directly from you. In these cases, you will be notified of the involvement of the affiliated third party, and all additional information you provide them and their additional uses of such information will be strictly up to you. If you provide additional information directly to an affiliated third party, its use of your personal information is governed by its applicable privacy policy.

  8. Maintaining Your Privacy in Business Relationships with Our Affiliated Business Partners. Sometimes it is necessary to provide personally identifiable information about you to a party outside of our company, such as to a vendor or service company that we hire to perform services for us or to help us develop new products and services. These vendors and service companies agree to safeguard our confidential information about you and your products and services with us and must abide by applicable law.
