The only personally
identifiable information about you ("PII") (that is, your
name, e-mail or physical address, or telephone number) that the ODP
receives is any PII you choose to include in the submission form if
you submit a site for consideration for inclusion in the ODP. We use
such PII only in connection with the provision of the ODP, and do
not use it for marketing purposes. We do not share your PII with any
outside companies. As explained below, volunteer editors for the ODP
may have access to certain PII.
When you use or access the ODP, we automatically receive and store
certain information from your browser, including your IP address;
your browser type; access date and time; the referring Web site address;
the ODP page you requested; and in the case of a search, the specific
search terms requested. We use this information for purposes of security,
to learn more about how the ODP is used, and to improve the quality
and usefulness of the ODP. We do NOT link any of this information
with PII, and we do not share this information with any outside companies.
The ODP's thousands of volunteer editors may receive PII about you
in certain circumstances, and, because they are volunteers whose activities
are not controlled by the ODP, their use of that information is not
subject to this Privacy Policy. Volunteer editors may receive PII
about you in two circumstances: (1) if you correspond directly with
an editor (e.g., to ask a question about why a site is not included),
the editor will of course learn your e-mail address, as well as any
other PII you choose to share in the e-mail; and (2) if you submit
a site for consideration for inclusion in the ODP, editors may access
any PII you include in the submission form (e.g., your e-mail address),
as well as your IP address.
