PRIVACY POLICY
The instant Privacy Policy is incorporated into the main Agreement and/or Terms and the use of
DSI’s Website indicates your assent to the terms of one or both of those agreements
(including the Privacy Policies). If you are not a party to or do not otherwise enjoy any rights or
benefits under the Agreement and/or Terms, the use of DSI’s Website indicates your assent
to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
1. INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE AND INFORMATION WE COLLECT
PERSONAL INFORMATION
DSI strives to provide information and services that are well tailored to your needs. To do
this, we may ask you to register or to provide certain personal information in order to use the
services and our products, including visiting various areas of our Website, entering a contest or
sweepstakes, gaining access to premium content, registering for an event, completing surveys,
submitting content, subscribing to a newsletter or asking us for additional information. We only
collect personally identifiable information that you submit voluntarily through a form. If you
choose not to register or provide personal information as we request, you may still enjoy our
Website.
Further the User is communicated regarding the material and other required items through the
contact details which have been provided and hence, the same is required to be submitted in
accordance with the policy of DSI.
COOKIES
The use of “cookies” is standard in the Internet industry. They are used on most commercial and
other websites. Cookies are small text files written to your computer. They make our Website
easier for you to use because they save your preferences while you’re at our sites (although we do
not save passwords in cookies). Cookies also help us know which areas are your favorites, which
may need improvement and what technologies and Internet services our Users like. Knowing this
information helps us improve the services for Users. The information we track with cookies is
anonymous and is not used to identify, or lead us back to, any particular User. Users may have the
option of disabling cookies via their browser preferences (most browsers are initially set up to
accept cookies). However, some features of our Website will not function properly or may function
more slowly if you refuse cookies. While using our Website, you may get cookies from our
advertisers or sponsors. DSI does not control such cookies. However, such use of cookies
is very common in the Internet industry.
IP ADDRESSES
An IP address is a number that has been automatically assigned to your computer. Web servers
automatically identify your computer by its IP address. DSI may collect IP addresses for
the purposes of system administration, to report aggregate information to our advertisers, sponsors,
and partners, and to audit the use of our site. When Users request Web pages from our services,
our servers log the Users’ IP addresses. We do not normally link IP addresses to anything
personally identifiable. This means that a User’s session will be logged, but the User remains
anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a User when we feel it is necessary
to enforce compliance with our rules or terms of service or to protect our service, site, customers
or others. Some features of our services, such as certain message boards, may display IP addresses
along with the message- poster’s User name and message. Please review each feature prior to use
and only use those that disclose information you are comfortable sharing.
2. USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
In addition to the uses identified elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, we may use your Personal
Information to: respond to inquiries for more information, send information or content to you
which we think may be of interest to you, send you marketing communications relating to our
business, promote use of our services to you and share promotional and information content with
you in accordance with your communication preferences; send information to you regarding
changes to our Privacy Policy or other legal agreements. DSI may occasionally present a
special contest or promotion sponsored by another company.
To qualify for entry, we may ask you to provide personal information. If we plan to share that
information with the sponsor, we will inform you of that when we request your information. In
exceptional cases when we have reason to believe that doing so is necessary to identify, contact or
bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either
intentionally or unintentionally) DSI’s rights or property, our Users, or anyone else who
could be harmed by such activities, we may disclose User information when we believe in good
faith that the law requires us to do so. We do not sell the information provided to us.
3. THIRD-PARTY ADVERTISERS
This Website uses the Google Ad Words remarketing service to advertise on third party websites
(including Google) to previous visitors to our Website. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on
someone’s past visits to a specific website. This could be in the form of an advertisement on the
Google search results page, or a site in the Google Display Network. Of course, any data collected
will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy and Google’s privacy policy. For clarity, Links
to Other Sites, DSI does not permit third party advertisements on our Website or in our
services or products.
4. USE OF AGGREGATE USER INFORMATION
DSI may share aggregate information about our Users with advertisers, business partners,
sponsors and other third parties. For example, we may say that our audience is “x” percent male
and “y” percent female. We use this information to customize our content and advertising to deliver
services that are well tailored to our Users’ needs. De-identified/aggregate data will have all direct
and indirect personal identifiers removed. This includes, but is not limited to, name, ID numbers,
date of birth, demographic information, location information, and school ID. Furthermore,
DSI agrees not to attempt to re-identify de-identified data and not to transfer de-identified
data to any party unless that party agrees not to attempt re-identification.
5. LINKS TO OTHER SITES
DSI’s services and products may include or bring you into contact with links to third party
owned, controlled, or managed websites. Additionally, you may see links from advertisers,
sponsors and other partners who may use DSI’s logo as part of a co-branding agreement.
DSI does not control content, or any aspect, of these third party websites. For example, if
you click on a link to a third party website referenced in our content, that click takes you off our
Website. Third party websites may send you their own cookies, collect data or solicit personal
information. We do not control the practices or the content of third party sites.
Once you leave our servers (you can usually see where you are by checking the URL in the location
bar on your browser), the use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of
the operator of the site you are visiting. That policy may differ from ours. If you can’t find the
privacy policy of any of these sites via a link from that site’s homepage, you should contact the
site directly for more information and proceed entirely at your own risk. We specifically
recommend that children check with their parents, guardians or teachers before clicking onto any
third party sites.
6. SECURITY OF INFORMATION
The security of our Users’ personally identifiable information is of the highest priority. DSI
exercises great care in providing secure transmission of your information from your PC to our
servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, DSI cannot ensure or
warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or through our services, and you do so
at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security
on our systems.
We strongly recommend that you do not share your password with anyone. DSI will never
ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or email. Ultimately, you are responsible
for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and any account information. Please remember to
sign out properly and close your browser window when you have finished your work. This helps
ensure that others cannot access your personal information and in the event the computer you use
is accessible to others or if you share a computer with someone else or use a computer in a public
place such as a library or Internet cafe. In addition, from time to time DSI may create and
supply, at its sole discretion, additional security features for its Users. These security features are
designed only for the use of Users. DSI provides no warranty, express or implied, that any
such security features may not be broken, violated or in some way compromised.

other virus etc. from intruding into the systems of the user. However, in view of the modern
developments it does specify any warranty for the same. There shall be no legal liability on part
of DSI or to fixate any sort of liability in pursuance to the malware or other legal liability.
For website security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, we
employ software programs to monitor traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change
information, or otherwise cause damage. In the event of authorized law enforcement
