Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Dim Sum Guide 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. Dim Sum Guide’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Dim Sum Guide’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Dim Sum Guide may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Dim Sum Guide’s websites choose to interact with Dim Sum Guide in ways that require Dim Sum Guide to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Dim Sum Guide gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who leave comments on Dim Sum Guide entries to provide a name and email address. In each case, Dim Sum Guide collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Dim Sum Guide. Dim Sum Guide 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.

Dim Sum Guide 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, Dim Sum Guide discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Dim Sum Guide believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Dim Sum Guide, third parties or the public at large.

Dim Sum Guide takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
