Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to us. At Dakan Marketplace we have a few fundamental principles:

  • We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
  • We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
  • We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.
  • In our platform/site/appging products, we aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what’s visible to the public, seen by search engines, kept private, and permanently deleted.

If you have questions about deleting or correcting your personal data please contact our team. Dakan Marketplace LLC., dba (“Dakan.io”), a Delaware company, operates several websites including dakan.com, dakan.io, and thedakan.io.com. It is Dakan Marketplace’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Dakan Marketplace collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Dakan Marketplace’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Dakan Marketplace’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Dakan Marketplace may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website. Dakan Marketplace also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users. Dakan Marketplace only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that platform/site/app commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the platform/site/app where the comment was left.

GATHERING OF PERSONALLY-IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
Certain visitors to Dakan Marketplace’s websites choose to interact with Dakan Marketplace in ways that require Dakan Marketplace to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Dakan Marketplace gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for our newsletter at Dakan Marketplace.cc to provide a email address. Those who engage in transactions with Dakan Marketplace – by purchasing access to the Dakan Marketplace and/or Dakan comment spam prevention service, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Dakan Marketplace collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Dakan Marketplace. Dakan Marketplace does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

AGGREGATED STATISTICS
Dakan Marketplace may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Dakan Marketplace may monitor the most popular site or use spam screened by the Dakan Marketplace and/or Dakan service to help identify spam. Dakan Marketplace may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Dakan Marketplace does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

PROTECTION OF CERTAIN PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION
Dakan Marketplace discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Dakan Marketplace’s behalf or to provide services available at Dakan Marketplace’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Dakan Marketplace’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Dakan Marketplace will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Dakan Marketplace discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Dakan Marketplace believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Dakan Marketplace, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Dakan Marketplace website and have supplied your email address, Dakan Marketplace may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Dakan Marketplace and our products. We primarily use our various product platform/site/apps to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Dakan Marketplace takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Dakan Marketplace uses cookies to help Dakan Marketplace identify and track visitors, their usage of Dakan Marketplace website, and their website access preferences. Dakan Marketplace visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Dakan Marketplace’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of Dakan Marketplace’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Business Transfers
If Dakan Marketplace, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Dakan Marketplace goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Dakan Marketplace may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Advertisements
Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Dakan Marketplace and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Comments
Comments and other content submitted to our Dakan Marketplace and/or Dakan anti-spam service are not saved on our servers unless they were marked as false positives, in which case we store them long enough to use them to improve the service to avoid future false positives.

Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, Dakan Marketplace may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Dakan Marketplace’s sole discretion. Dakan Marketplace encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. If you have a WordPress.com account, you should also check your platform/site/app’s dashboard for alerts to these changes. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
