DOT Q VENTURES has the utmost respect for visitor and customer privacy, therefore we are committed to protecting it. We have set forth the following policies to demonstrate that commitment. These policies explain what we collect, how we collect it and how it’s used, along with some other legal details.

Any information posted to public forums, blogs or any other public areas of the website or Internet automatically becomes public information. We suggest you exercise caution in submitting personal information in these public areas.
Opt-Out
DOT Q VENTURES users will have the choice to opt-out of certain services and mailing lists. However, some email communications are not subject to opt-out, such as communications related to downloads, sales transactions, updates and fixes, legal disclosures, network upgrades and other service maintenance.
Cookies
These small [inedible] data files may be placed on your computer to collect information regarding your activity on our website, but they do not personally identify users. This information is only used to improve site content and navigation, as well as enhance security and facilitate return visits. DOT Q VENTURES does not currently offer an opt-out on the site for cookies, but your browser should have the ability to control cookies as you see fit, although blocking cookies may keep you from taking full advantage of a website.
Security
DOT Q VENTURES takes numerous steps to protect and uphold the security and integrity of the information we collect. This includes, but is not limited to, encryption of data transferred to us by users, storage of data in a secure environment, policies and procedures set forth to safeguard such data, and employee dedication to adhering to these policies and procedures. Nevertheless, no data can be guaranteed 100% secure during transmission, so we cannot ensure the full security of information transferred to us. However, if your information is compromised by a third party, DOT Q VENTURES will comply with law enforcement officials to facilitate the investigation of the breach.
Sharing Information
We pretty much don’t do this unless we have to. We can guarantee you that DOT Q VENTURES will not sell or transfer your personally identifiable information to third parties for email or marketing lists. However, there are cases where we may need to share some of your personally identifiable information. With that said, such information will only be shared (1) if required by law or government officials, (2) if required by a business partner to perform certain services on our behalf, (3) if DOT Q VENTURES is acquired by another person or company, or (4) as necessary to protect our rights and the rights of others, at our sole discretion.
Policies of Other Web Sites
We have links to other web sites, but we are not responsible for their privacy practices. They have their own set of policies, so we suggest you read up on those for safe measure. This privacy policy only applies to information collected here, by us, for us.
Policy Changes
DOT Q VENTURES can change or update this Privacy Policy periodically. But if we do, we will definitely let you know, either with an email or a notice on our website, or both.
