Privacy
and Data Security
At McDougal, your right to privacy and data
security is a primary concern. That's why, when
you visit Mcdougal.com or DataTrakr.com, we
want to help you maintain control over your
personal data. We use these guidelines for protecting
the information you provide us during a visit
to our Internet sites (www.mcdougal.com or DataTrakR.com).
These guidelines are applicable only to our
domestic Web sites. Information submitted solely
in a business capacity is not covered by these
guidelines.
McDougal
is committed to data security with respect to
information collected on our sites. We offer
the industry standard security measures available
through your browser called SSL encryption.
However, if at any time you need to give us
personal information, but do not want to do
so online, you may contact a McDougal Representative
over the telephone or, in some cases, in person.
We
only ask for specific types of personal information.
In a few areas on our Web site, we ask you to
provide information that enables us to enhance
your site visit, to assist you with support
issues or to follow up with you after your visit.
It is completely optional for you to participate.
For example, we request information from you

submit an application, provide feedback in an
online survey, participate in a promotional
offer, request e-mail notification of your applications
status, subscribe to a newsletter or a mailing
list, request assistance from our support staff,
or make a support request. In each of the instances
above, we may ask for your name, e-mail address,
phone number, address, type of business, as
well as other similar personal information that
is needed to register or subscribe you to services
or offers. In the case of newsletters or mailing
lists, you will be able to "unsubscribe"
to these mailings at any time.

Our employees, outside agents, and third-party
contractors who have access to your personal

other than carrying out the services they are

products or services to you. In addition, McDougal
may be required to disclose personal information
in connection with law enforcement, fraud prevention,
regulation, and other legal action or if McDougal
reasonably believes it is necessary to do so
to protect McDougal, our customers, or the public.
You

our various products and services, or other

Children's

seek to collect personal information about children.
If we become aware that a child is submitting
personal information to us through any part
of our Web site, we delete that information
as soon as we discover it. We do not use it
for any purpose and do not disclose it to third
parties. As a result, we typically retain no
information about children that could be reviewed
or deleted. If a parent asks to review or delete
information about their child before we discover
and deleted the information, then we will honor
that request.
