Privacy Policy

DNP Imagingcomm America Corporation (“DNP,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) owns and operates the am.dnpribbons.com site (“Site”). DNP is committed to protecting your privacy when you visit and interact with the Site. As such, DNP’s privacy practices are explained in this privacy policy (“Policy”).

This Policy contains details about how DNP collects, uses, shares and protects information from you when you use the Site.

This Policy covers only the Site identified above, and does not apply to information you may send us by other means. Other DNP sites and other online locations may have their own privacy policies, and you should consult those accordingly.

Effective Date of Policy

This Policy is effective as of July 29, 2019.

Policy Changes

DNP may update this Policy from time to time. In the event DNP changes this Policy, the changes will be posted on this page and will be effective when posted. Any changes will be immediately incorporated into this Policy, and will be prospective only, unless DNP is legally required to make retroactive changes.

Your continued use of the Site after the changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If any changes are unacceptable to you, you should stop using the Site.

If we make a change that will substantially affect how we use and/or share personally identifiable information that DNP already collected from you, we will attempt to notify you and give you thirty (30) days to opt-in to the changes as they pertain to your information. If you do not opt-in, your information will continue to be used in a manner that is consistent with the version of this Policy under which it was collected, or the information will be deleted.

Collection of Information: Generally

Personally identifiable information (“PII”) is generally defined as information that, by itself or in combination with other information, may be able to identify you, could be used to contact you, or could reasonably be associated with you or your accounts. PII could include, yet is not limited to, your name, physical address, telephone number, email address, username and password, credit/debit card number or other financial information, IP address or other online identifiers, photograph, age, professional or employment-related information, office address and other business information, demographic information, biometric data (e.g., fingerprints), browsing or search histories, personal preferences and characteristics, state and/or federal identification numbers (e.g., driver’s license number; social security number; passport number), etc.

There are areas on the Site where you may be asked to provide DNP with PII, or where such PII or other data may be collected from you in an automated manner.

For example, PII (and other related data) such as name, mailing/shipping address(es), telephone number, email address, login information, company name, company address, job title, and other business or professional information may be collected from you when you:

While DNP takes the issue of protecting your privacy seriously, you should exercise discretion in what information you transmit to the Site. We cannot guarantee that information sent over the Internet is fully secure, as transmitted information may be intercepted by others before it reaches its destination. DNP is not responsible for the security of information sent to us over the Internet.

DNP retains PII only for as long as necessary to fulfill the stated purpose for which the PII was collected or otherwise processed, and thereafter for a variety of legitimate legal or business purposes. These may include retention periods that are: (1) mandated by law, contract or similar obligations applicable to DNP’s business operations; (2) for preserving, resolving, defending or enforcing our legal/contractual rights; or (3) necessary to maintain adequate and accurate business and financial records. Our collection times will be consistent with applicable law.
