We track information such as the domain from which the user is visiting and the user's browser type. We also collect specific information regarding the user's session on our website. This includes items such as the date and time of the visit and the pages viewed.

Sometimes we ask a user to voluntarily provide personally identifiable information (PII). This information generally includes, but is not limited to, name, e-mail address, postal address, and telephone number. We request this information when the user requests one of the following:

  • To register to attend an event hosted by Global DMC Partners
  • To receive specific information from us such as a whitepaper or code sample
  • To sign up for a mailing list
  • To correspond with us

  • Or any other such activity that we deem necessary

Global DMC Partners does not collect any personally identifiable financial or health-related information unless it pertains to your attendance at a specific event. We do not intentionally collect information from children under the age of 13.
