IV. INFORMATION DAKOTA STYLE COLLECTS AND HOW DAKOTA STYLE USES IT
Personally Identifiable Information: We may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information, which is information that could reasonably be used to identify you personally (such as your name, address, email address and telephone number) when you register with Dakota Style or at other times (such as when you buy products or services), or if you choose to subscribe to a web forum or blog, or if you choose to participate in a survey, contest, sweepstakes or other promotion. In addition, we may ask that you provide us with demographic information, information regarding your interests, or similar information when you submit a survey, or registration form on the website. Providing us with information about yourself is voluntary, and you can always choose not to provide certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of some of the website’s features and services. The website may also receive information about you from other sources, such as in connection with a promotion in which the website is participating and that may be offered on a third-party website, and we may combine the information we receive from those other sources with information that we collect through this website. In those cases, we will apply this Privacy Policy to any personally identifiable information received. Dakota Style may use your personally identifiable information to provide you with requested information or services, to contact you in connection with a promotion, or for other purposes disclosed when you provide your information. We may use your information for internal business purposes, such as to improve the website and our business strategies, or to serve specific content or advertisements to you. If you choose to receive information from the website, we may contact you with information regarding our products or that of a Dakota Style affiliate or business partner. We may also contact you regarding any problems or questions we have relating to your use of the website, or, in our discretion, notify you of changes to our Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions or other policy or terms that affect you or your use of the website. If you submit a comment, photograph or other content to be published, online or offline (including on-air, in a DVD, or any other format) to the website, we may publish your name or other personally identifiable information in connection with publishing any such content. If you provide us with personally identifiable information of a friend, or your friend provides personally identifiable information about you, to an ‚”email a friend” type feature from the website, the email addresses you or your friend supply us for those activities will not be used to send you or your friend other email communications unless disclosed at the time you provide the information. Please note that information submitted to the website via a ‚”contact”, “info”‚ or other similar email address or form will not necessarily receive a response. We will not use the information provided to these email addresses or forms for marketing purposes unrelated to your request.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information: When you visit or download information from this website, our web servers may automatically collect website usage information. Website usage information is non-personally identifying information that describes how our visitors use the website. It can include the number and frequency of visitors to each web page and the length of their stays, browser type, referrer data that identifies the web page visited prior and subsequent to visiting the website, and IP addresses (see below for more information on IP addresses). We also may determine your screen resolution and the technology available in order to serve you the most appropriate version of a web page, email or similar service.
Use of IP Addresses: An Internet protocol or IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer or network when you are on the Internet. When you request pages from this website, our servers may log your IP address. Dakota Style may use IP addresses for a number of purposes, such as system administration, to generally determine your computer’s server location, to report aggregate information to our business partners or to audit use of the website.
Use of Cookies, Web Beacons and Similar Technologies: This website’s pages or email messages may contain cookies, web beacons (also known as clear gifs), or similar technologies or other identification protocols as they may become available from time to time. Cookies are information files that this website may place on your computer to provide extended functionality. We may use cookies for a number of purposes, such as tracking usage patterns on the website, measuring the effectiveness of advertising, limiting multiple responses and registrations, facilitating your ability to navigate the website and as part of a verification or screening process. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent by indicating this in the preferences or options menu in your browser. However, it is possible that some parts of this website will not operate correctly if you disable cookies and you may not be able to take advantage of some of this website’s features. You should consult with your browser’s provider/manufacturer if you have any questions regarding disabling cookies. A web beacon is a small graphic image that allows the party that set the web beacon to monitor and collect certain information about the viewer of the web page, web-based document or email message, such as the type of browser requesting the web beacon, the IP address of the computer to which the web beacon is sent and the time the web beacon was viewed. Web beacons can be very small and invisible to the user, but, in general, any electronic image viewed as part of a web page or e-mail, including HTML based content, can act as a web beacon. Dakota Style may use web beacons to count visitors to the web pages on the website or to monitor how our users navigate the website, and we may include web beacons in email messages in order to count how many messages sent were actually opened, acted upon or forwarded. Our web pages may include advertisements for third parties and their products, and those third-party advertisements may include a cookie or web beacon served by the third party. Dakota Style does not have control over the cookies or web beacons used by third parties and does not have access to whatever information they may collect, nor does Dakota Style monitor or control the privacy policies of those third parties.
V. DISCLOSURE OF COLLECTED INFORMATION & THIRD PARTIES
Dakota Style may disclose non-personally identifying, aggregated user statistics to third parties. Dakota Style does not share your personally identifiable information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes, except for Dakota Style, as noted in Section II above, unless you first affirmatively agree to the disclosure.

Therefore, if you later decide that you do not want that third party to use your information, you will need to contact the third party directly.
