5. What Are Your Rights Regarding the Processing of Your Personal Information

People have different privacy concerns. Our goal is to be clear about what information we collect, so that you can make meaningful choices about how it is used.

You may choose to limit the personal information you submit by merely browsing the Site without providing your name or other information. If you do so, you may not be able to use certain functionality of the Site. To register for an account, for example, you must provide your name and email address, as well as other information.

It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes. By law you have the right to request access to and to correct the personal information that we hold about you.

If you want to review, verify, correct, or withdraw consent to the use of your personal information you may also send us an email at pdicacommunications@pdipdi.com to request access to, correct, or delete any personal information that you have provided to us. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.

We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and your right to access, and to provide you with the personal information that we hold about you or make your requested changes. Applicable law may allow or require us to refuse to provide you with access to some or all of the personal information that we hold about you, or we may have destroyed, erased, or made your personal information anonymous in accordance with our record retention obligations and practices. If we cannot provide you with access to your personal information, we will inform you of the reasons why, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions.

6. Security of Personal Information

We are committed to the protection of your information.  We implement data security procedures including physical, technical, and organizational security measures to help secure the Personal Information collected via the Site from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, inadvertent disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

Therefore, you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us electronically. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any Personal Information.

7. How Long Will We Keep Your Personal Information

Except as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law or regulation, we will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Under some circumstances we may anonymize your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you. We reserve the right to use such anonymous and de-identified data for any legitimate business purpose without further notice to you or your consent.
