De-Fine-Rs.DC or we adopted this Privacy Policy to reflect our commitment to protecting the privacy of your personal information. Please carefully read this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service before you provide any personal information to De-Fine-Rs.DC.

If you have any question regarding the Services or our privacy practices that is not answered in this Privacy Policy, please contact us.

HOW THIS PRIVACY POLICY APPLIES

This Privacy Policy applies to the Services. But, if a particular Service refers or links to a different privacy policy, then that privacy policy — not this Privacy Policy — applies.

Our agreements with certain customers may contain provisions about the processing of personal information collected through the Services. If a provision of one of these customer agreements conflicts or otherwise is inconsistent with a provision of this Privacy Policy, then the provision of the customer agreement will prevail but solely to the extent of the conflict or inconsistency. If you have a question about whether your personal information is covered by a customer agreement, please contact us.

The Services may include links to websites and services that are not operated by us. A link to a third-party website or service does not mean that we reviewed or endorsed its privacy practices. If you visit a third-party website or service, you are subject to its privacy practices and policies, not ours. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any personal information that you provide to these other websites and services.

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

The Effective Date at the top of this page indicates when this Privacy Policy was last revised. Unless applicable law prevents or a revision is needed to protect the privacy or security of our Users, we will notify you about any material change that reduces your privacy right in advance so that you have time to review the changes before they are effective. The previous version of this Privacy Policy will apply until the Effective Date. Your use of the Services after the Effective Date means that you accept the Privacy Policy as revised.
