Dexid:Privacy policy

Date of Last Revision: December 31, 2009

This policy outlines the information Dexid collects and how we use that information. This policy applies only to Dexid (the “Site” or “Service”) and services that are owned and operated by Dexid, Inc ("the Company"). Please be aware that when you follow a link to another site, this privacy policy does not apply, and Dexid has no control over what information they collect from you. Please further note that in the event that this policy conflicts with our terms of use, the terms of use controls.

This policy may change from time to time.

The public and collaborative nature of the projects

All Projects of Dexid are collaboratively developed by its users using the MediaWiki software. Anyone with Internet access (and not otherwise restricted from doing so) may edit the publicly editable pages of these sites with or without logging in as a registered user. By doing this, editors create a published document, and a public record of every word added, subtracted, or changed. This is a public act, and editors are identified publicly as the author of such changes. All contributions made, and all publicly available information about those contributions, are irrevocably licensed and may be freely copied, quoted, reused and adapted by third parties with few restrictions.

User Accounts and Authorship

You are not required to register for an account or to provide any personal information to us in order to use the Service. Anyone can edit without logging in with a username, in which case they will be identified by network IP address. Users that do register are identified by their chosen username. Users select a password, which is confidential and used to verify the integrity of their account.
In order to sign up for a Dexid account, only your username, password, and email address are requested during sign-up. “Optional information” that we request you provide may include your first name, last name, birth date, and your gender. Any information you choose to provide may be made public.

Details of Data Retention

Dexid also may send one or more cookies - a small file that lives in your web browser that helps the Service operate with full functionality (such as keeping you logged into the service). Most web browsers allow you to disable cookies, and you are welcome to continue to use the Service if you choose to do so. However, some of the Service’s features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

Dexid’s user data is stored in the United States, and its servers log some information whenever you access the Service; information such as your IP address, the time of your visit, your browser type and your browser's language setting.

Dexid collects all the information you provide when you modify the content of a page or the Service (such as making edits, uploading images, etc.) An indicator that you provided that information is left on the History tab associated with the edited page or appropriate special/image page; on the Recent Changes link, in the Community box on the left side of the wiki pages, and in your user contributions.

Disclaimer

Dexid believes that maintaining and preserving the privacy of user data is an important value. This Privacy Policy, together with other policies, resolutions, and actions by Dexid, represents a committed effort to safeguard the security of the limited user information that is collected and retained on our servers. Nevertheless, Dexid cannot guarantee that user information will remain private. We acknowledge that, in spite of our committed effort to protect private user information, determined individuals may still develop data-mining and other methods to uncover such information and disclose it. For this reason, Dexid can make no guarantee against unauthorized access to information provided in the course of participating in Dexid or related communities.
