Collecting and Disclosing Information

Dell Awards does not sell, trade or transfer personal information to third parties. The information collected is used to respond to inquiries, to process orders, and to provide service to you.  We may disclose personal information to our website hosting company and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you. We may also release personal information when we believe it is appropriate to comply with the law, to enforce our website policies or to protect the rights of Dell Awards or others.  This privacy policy applies only to information collected through our website and not to information collected offline.

In an attempt to provide you with increased value, we may include third party links on our site. These linked sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these linked sites (including if a specific link does not work).  This policy extends to any information received to fulfill an order to a gift recipient or other party.

Security

We take every precaution to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.  Sensitive information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL.  Secure Sockets Layer is the industry standard security technology for creating an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between our web server and your browser remain private and integral. SSL is used by millions of websites in the protection of their online transactions with their customers. In order to be able to generate an SSL link, a web server requires an approved and validated SSL Certificate.  While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just ‘surfing’. While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users’ information is restricted in our offices.
