This statement describes the information gathering and dissemination practices of Dingo Integrated Marketing for our Web site www.dimhouston.com (the “Site”), including the types of information we collect and how we may use that information.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Personal Information
In general, you can visit our Site without telling us your name or revealing any personal information such as your address, telephone number, or e-mail address.
In certain parts of the Site, we may ask you to provide your name or other personal information so that we can provide you with information that you request, respond to feedback that you submit to a Site, allow you to participate in activities on the Site, such as one of our contests, or otherwise interact with the Site. Further, we may ask you for demographic data, such as your preferred language or country of residence, in order to tailor your experience on the Site, display content customized to your preferences, and to otherwise administer the Site. You are under no obligation to provide us with this information, but without it, we may not be able to fulfill some types of requests. If you do not want your personal information collected, simply do not submit it to the Site.
We make significant efforts to ensure that the personal information you provide to us remains secure. We will not sell, rent, or otherwise disclose the personal information you provide to us through the Site to parties outside of Dingo Integrated Marketing or our advertising, promotional, and marketing agencies and consultants unless specified herein. We will disclose personal information if we are required to do so by law or have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to conform with existing laws or to cooperate with law enforcement agencies or in legal proceedings. In addition, if all or part of Dingo Integrated Marketing is sold to, or merges with, another company, or declares bankruptcy, some or all of the information collected from you may be transferred to a third party as a result of the transfer of assets. Furthermore, we may use third party contractors to help us operate our business and the Site or administer activities on our behalf, such as contest administration and prize fulfillment, and may share your personal information with these contractors for those limited purposes.
We may share anonymous aggregated data with other companies that we do business with for market research purposes. For example, we may report to our advertising agency that a certain percentage of our Site’ users are United States residents between the ages of 21-25.
